Hello,

we are using LTSP with Edubuntu 12.04 for some years now and it works fine except a
shutdown problem, we had over one year ago with our Zotac Zbox clients.
We had fixed this problem by using a patched version of LDM that is starting "poweroff -fp" instead of "poweroff" and also with an old "ltsp-shudown.conf" from Edubuntu 11.xx, that also forces to use "poweroff -fp". The ltsp-shutdown.conf was needed to fix the shutdown problem, when using Epoptes to power off the clients.

This Workaround was working fine with the Zotac Zbox, but we have now some Shuttle DS437 clients, that needs a newer Kernel version to run smoothly. After updating our LTSP images to Kernel 3.8.x all clients hangs again on shutdown when using the Epoptes management tool to poweroff the clients. The only way to successfully poweroff a client is to use the patched LDM version with "poweroff -fp". After switching back to kernel 3.5.x, the shutdown problem is gone, but the Shuttle DS437 have some graphics problems and are running very slowly.

Can anybody help me to fix this shutdown problem when using a newer Kernel version? It looks like the ltsp-shutdown.conf have no effect anymore when using Kernel 3.8 and later,
but i don't know why.

Thx
