No auto shutdown

[Rog1]

I run ver 10.3. When I end a session and click the shutdown icon, the machine will get all the way to the green screen and the little line at the bottom will move all the way across but then the machine just sits there and I have to power down manually. The esc key will not take me anywhere either. It's just a minor thing but I thought somebody might have a fix for it. Thanks.

Did you disable power control during the install with something like noacpi or acpi=off ?

While it shuts down press esc to get a text screen. THere might be an error message or at least an indication on where it hangs

Here are the last lines on the screen:

Unmounting file systems
securityfs unmounted
/dev/hdc1 unmounted
/dev/hdc7 unmounted
devpts unmounted
debugfs unmounted
/dev/hdc6 unmounted
stopping udevd:

The system will be halted immediately. Master resource control: runlevel 0 has been reached

I have a hp pavilion 7950 which I just upgraded to Opensuse 10.3. I had a
similar problem that when I shutdown (from Leave/shutdown tab) it would go
thru the shutdown steps but never power off, I searched the web and found
a solution to my problem. I added the boot option acpi=force and it fixed my
problem. You can test this power control option when the graphical boot menu
comes up and you can enter acpi =force Then let it boot up and then try the
shutdown and see if shutdown and powers off. I read that some older motherboards
have issues with acpi and need to have it set in different settings.

Note: I found when you shutdown and the green screen comes up, if you wait too long
to press esc, sometimes it doesn't bring you to verbose mode. The verbose mode
can help you see if it has other issues.
