A Senior Citizen Newbie
Kindly help me please. I'm impressed by SuSE 9.1 Pro. The only problem is that the machine doesn't obey the shut command and I've to ctr+alt+del it.
I've installed it on a slave thus keeping win and SuSE apart.
What's the best option? Reformat slave and reinstall? if yes, how?
Or any other suggestions?

open a konsole window and type :

Code:

shutdown -h "now"

or

Code:

halt -p

check if that works...(login as root first..)

does it give any sort of error mesage?
is there any related errors if you run "tail /var/log/messages" ?

maybe you should have your acpi module enabled in kernel...

Thanks. I shall try that and revert with the result I get. Thanks to all those who're making my entry into Linux exciting and interesting.

Some more info.
A young person reinstalled SuSE using the disks.
Great prog, but when asked to shut down , at the very last minute it bleeped and asked to press F2, which was done
here are the last lines on the screen (hope this will help)
Proc unmounted ---done
The system will be halted immediately
Bmaster Resource Control:
run level 0 has been reached
Skipped services in runlevel 0 smbfs

one entry in white before all the above reads:
shutting down sys log services- unused
u kindly suggested enabling acpi, but I'm scared of doing this, simply because I do not know how to
