For me the situation is rather different. I’m able to shut the computer down properly only when I use s2disk (from µswsusp) and there aren’t any acpi=... kernel parameters.
Any other ways of turning off the computer, be it halt, shutdown, pm- hibernate, fail for me. With the acpi=force workaround even s2disk stops working: I see ‘Will now halt’, the hard disk is parked, but the fans continue producing noise and the display keeps working. What might be special in the way s2disk powers off the computer? ** Attachment added: "dmidecode output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18947418/dmidecoded -- Shut Down won't power off with an ASUS P5GD1 motherboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42160 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
