 Gnome shutdown suspends, does not power off Shutdown works fine, powering off the machine like I would expect. Gnome, however, doesn't quite get there. The OS shuts down and the video goes off, but the power light is still on and the power supply fan is still turning. It is rather like a low power suspend state common with laptops except without the benefit of a still-running OS. Any ideas on how to fix this? A possibly related issue: The screen blanker doesn't turn off the monitor, ever, despite the Display Power Management settings. I just get a glowing black screen. -- Photos and travelogues from Africa and Southeast Asia: http://www.exile.org      |

Do you use splashutils compiled into the kernel (not initrd)? There's a bug where /lib/splash/cache is incorrectly mounted and can't be cleanly unmounted. > A possibly related issue: > The screen blanker doesn't turn off the monitor, ever, despite the > Display Power Management settings. I just get a glowing black screen. Are you using APM or ACPI? Sometimes they conflict with each other, and you may want to turn off APM in the kernel. Regards, -- *rt |

I've had this myself in older kernel versions. > A possibly related issue: > The screen blanker doesn't turn off the monitor, ever, despite the > Display Power Management settings. I just get a glowing black screen. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you should have a line: Section "Monitor" Option "DPMS" EndSection |
