Public bug reported: Power off did work by 6.06 LiveCD. With 8.04-beta it is different: After I remove the CD and press enter, (at least) a hard disk powers off, but the screen remains the same and fans keep spinning. Keyboard does not respond then.
Hardware is relatively old, Compaq Deskpro using Intel Pentium III. When I start linux from the LiveCD, I get the following kind of message: "[ 0.000000] ACPI: BIOS age (1999) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI" I'll report the logs according to instructions here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/119308/comments/50 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hardy Beta Shutdown Doesn't Power Off (xubuntu-8.04-beta-desktop-i386 LiveCD) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212118 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
