Hi guys, I'd like to ask you a couple of things regarding my core 6 install. How do I shut it down? I mean, completely power off? Rebooting is not a problem, but when I choose shutdown, it stops everything, and then says "system halted" and that's it. I believe it even puts to sleep the hard drive, but the computer is still on. What should I do?
Push the power button after that and it will turn off. Linux is shut down (completely), it just failed to tell the motherboard/PSU to turn off. This is an issue with ACPI (the fact that Windows works is irrelevant). Begin looking for ACPI messages in /var/log/messages as others have suggested. Run this command as root: grep -i acpi /var/log/messages Jonathan
