Hello there, I got exactly the same problem when upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, or probably rather after running the update manager afterwards. I've played around in BIOS to find a solution but without luck and went on to test boot parameters more or less randomly. After testing a parameter sequence I found on an Ubuntu forum for solving a somewhat different problem, the situation now seems OK. No more spontaneous booting at midnight. The trick was to boot the kernel with acpi=off and apm=power_off. Additionally, the line
apm power_off=1 must be added to /etc/modules. I don't understand why I need to make these changes. My BIOS is supposed to support both APM and ACPI, even though the computer admittedly is getting old, and why didn't I have any problems with Feisty or Gutsy. Beats me, but you could try it out and see if it helps even in your case. -- Laptop boots at Midnight, by itself. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235539 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
