Yes this is a known limitation. ACPI or APM interfere with real time so it is not installed or is disabled for the EMC2/Ubuntu distribution. It sure would be handy to have an auto power off, but I don't think it's in the cards right now. It may be worth while to setup the soft-switch to power off or wire an old fashioned power switch to a handy location. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
