Description of problem: F7 does not automatically turn off the machine after shutting down Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Shutdown the computer 2. 3. Actual results: The screen is still there with a lot of message, F7 should turn off the power after shutting down Expected results: Additional info: Here is my smolt profile: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=831d0754-b50c-4668-bb36-5268939b040a PS: I have just install the x86 version of F7 on the same machine and the shutdown process run just fine. Maybe this issue only affects the x84_64 version of F7.
Same problem here. Machine powered off successfully under FC4,5,6. /usr/bin/poweroff powers the machine down as expected. Machine is Athlon 2500+ based running 2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen, so it's not just 64-bit machines that are affected. My smolt profile is at http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=e5fa8f42-4819-4eea-a5e3-492c263760a1
I'm running the 32-bit version on an Intel Pentium D, but getting the same behavior. One interesting thing is that if I switch to terminal mode via CTRL-ALT-F1, the issue shutdown as root, I get dumped into another shell one it gets done with all the preliminaries. It looks like this: sh#3-1> or something like that
I've installed F7 x86 on a virtual machine of KVM recently and have the same problem with Marco Turious. After shutting down, the machine display something like sh#3-1>. But this issue doesn't always happen, just sometime.
My system won't turn itself off either. Here are the final messages I get in the console after shutting down the system: ACPI:PCI interrupt for the device 0000:02:00.0 disabled. Power down. acpi_power_off called Are you guys getting something similar to this?
Stefan: No I don't get those messages at all; I found out my problem lay elsewhere. Trong: I found my problem was with my video drivers. Are you using the nvidia drivers from livna? I unintsalled kmod-nvidia and the xorg-x11-nv-driver packages, deleted my xorg.conf file, then rebooted. After configuring X, I redownloaded the nvidia drivers and I am able to shut down now.
I also use the nvidia drivers from livna, but that's the really machine with Fedora 7 x64_86, on my virtual machine (KVM) with Fedora 7 x86, this issues happened just a couple of times.
Mother Board: Intel D101GGC with an Intel 950 Dual core Pentium D OS: Fedora Core 6 X86_64 version Problem: When The system is shutdown with the menu selection, the system will do the proper shutdown EXCEPT the machine will not power down once in a halted condition. This problem occurred after the Fedora Core 6 was updated. Prior to the update, the machine would power down when halted. No changes were made to the machine except the update. Kernel: 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen #1 SMP
It seems I am able to power off my computer correctly now. What I did is I installed the acpid (ACPI Event Daemon) package which I hadn't installed earlier. I also reinstalled the nvidia drivers like Marco did but if I remember correctly it didn't work until I installed acpid and rebooted. I just hope it keeps working now.
With FC 5 and 6, the shutdown process would turn off power to my PC. With F7, this function no longer works. The shutdown process logs information to the screen and ends with the message that the system has halted. But the PC remains powered on. I have to reach around to the back to power off the PC. For F7, I did a cold install, not an update. System: AMD Athlon dual core 3800+, 2 GB RAM, nVidia G70, mobo ECS K8T890-A.
Yesterday I switched from FC6 to F7 (I did a cold install). When I had FC6 I could shutdown fine but now it just says "system halted" and I have to hold down the power button until it shuts down. Processor: Pentium-D Motherboard: Intel DG965WH
Installing acpid fixed mine too. Shouldn't acpid automatically be installed?
Installing acpid did not solve the problem for me. However, I discovered that if I boot "fedora-base" rather than "fedora" on the initial Grub screen, poweroff will work.
I had the same problem after a clean install of F7; on shutdown it would get to 'system halted' and hang there. I disabled the xen VM in the services manager, then changed from the xen kernel to the standard kernel as default in boot manager. My machine shuts down and powers off properly every time now.
Hello folks, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage The original reporter has not marked this as fixed however subsequent comments indicate it might be. I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. i have experienced this issue myself in fact and believe the problem lay either with my vmware install or the nvidia driver I was using. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel and if so does disabling the above software (if you are using it) resolve this issue? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug.
