Yes, this seems to be recorded, though I have not set up any software to use the sleep command, so this has no effect: ------------------------------------------------------------------ [Sun Aug 20 23:43:55 2006] received event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000d" [Sun Aug 20 23:43:55 2006] notifying client 1991[68:68] [Sun Aug 20 23:43:55 2006] completed event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000d" [Sun Aug 20 23:44:00 2006] received event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000e" [Sun Aug 20 23:44:00 2006] notifying client 1991[68:68] [Sun Aug 20 23:44:00 2006] completed event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000e" [Sun Aug 20 23:45:08 2006] received event "button/sleep SLPB 00000080 00000001" [Sun Aug 20 23:45:08 2006] notifying client 1991[68:68] [Sun Aug 20 23:45:08 2006] completed event "button/sleep SLPB 00000080 00000001" ------------------------------------------------------------------ > I don't know about the T20, but my T30 sleeps and hibernates properly > provided that I use pm-suspend and pm-hibernate, respectively. I wasn't actually asking about suspend or hibernate, I was asking why shutdown does not work properly on my T20 - the disk stops, but the machine does not usually turn off. It doesn't particularly worry me, since I assume as the disk is no longer spinning nothing bad can happen if I press the power button for 10 seconds. And in fact nothing bad does seem to happen. I suspect this issue is connected to acpi, although it still happens now I have turned off the cpuinfo temperature indicator. > Make sure you have installed the pm-utils package, eg, > yum install pm-utils I'm not sure of the relevance to my problem, but I do in fact have this package installed. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
