I have found a solution which works(at least yesterday and today) on my laptop. My laptop is BenQ S73 with intel centrino duo T2050 and ATIx1600. I installed Ubuntu Feisty. I found that before shutdown, remove the pcmcia module as follows:
#sudo rmmod pcmcia Then the computer COULD turn off the power. I don't know the exact reason, and I have called the manufacturer. They said that my has PCI express slot INSTEAD OF pcmcia slot. So, for some not-so-old computers, maybe it is worth having a try. -- Power down after shutdown does not work... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43961 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
