I was about to mark this as affecting both the acpid and gnome-settings- daemon packages, but I've not had a chance to verify whether those are properly offering a 'shut down?' popup. If they do, then this isn't a bug.
If you install an ubuntu server as the guest, and install acpid (which won't be installed by default), then virsh shutdown does appear to work. You could also edit /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh to not do the check for 'pidof PMS', but rather always call shutdown. Please let us know if one of these works. ** Changed in: virt-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228690 Title: virt-manager can't stop VM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/228690/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
