Hello,
New to Mandrake. Installed 10.0 from Cheap Bytes discs. So far all is well except there is no auto shut off. When I click shut off, things shut down except for an arrow. I am able to turn it off by using the power button, but would prefer an auto shut off. Does anyone know if 10.0 is designed for auto shut off or if this is a glitch? It could be a bios problem, but wanted to see what experience other have had.
Thanks, Laura
I think Margot had this earlier and she fixed it. See if she answers otherwise check on the Newbie archive, or the Expert archive.

Hi Laura, sorry I'm late getting here, been busy with other things! Yes, I had the same problem, and yes, I fixed it - with a little help from my friends here!
I had to install a new kernel, and then change settings for lilo.
Which kernel are you running, Laura? To find out, open a terminal and give command "uname -r" (without the quotes), then copy/paste the results.
Then we need to check your lilo settings. From a root terminal (won't work as normal user!) give command "cat /etc/lilo.conf" (again, without the quotes) then copy/paste the output.
Once we know what you've got we can work out what to adjust!
Margot
