slack doesnt shutdown automatically??
hi,
i have a ATX power supply.. previously, i had redhat. redhat shutdown my power supply automatically. now, i have slack9.1. but, it never shutdown my power supply automatically... how can i make it so that it will be able to turn off power supply automatically?? |
Look in /etc/rc.d to see if the line concerning APM is commented out. It probably is, so just uncomment it, reboot and it should be fine.

need:
-recompile kernel with APM/ACPI -with permission to shutdown (you can chmod 4750 and chown root:users) |
Or try adding :
apm=power-off to your append line in the Slackware stanza in lilo.conf - ie for example append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet apm=power-off" then type /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect Then use halt as Root user to shut the system down........ |
There have been a few threads like this and people start talking about recompiling kernels etc... either you've got a different set up than me or you're doing it the hard way. :D
Uncomment this line in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules: # /sbin/modprobe apm Reboot and then next time you want to shutdown, the pc will turn itself off automagically with shutdown, halt etc. :) |

Just to be witness to the above working, I've done it too.
I just put in the following in my rc.local file: ( I couldn't fine anything in rc.modules) modprobe apm Then when I shutdown I just do: shutdown -h now -or- shutdown -r now Peace, Whitehat |
