Ok, the hardware work-around worked for a bit, but now the problem is back. Clearing my pram didn't help, either. I'm at a loss. The only thing that helps is taking out the USB peripherals. The thing that has me is that I honestly doubt it's the externals (signaling the reboot) because the HUB filtering work-around actually filters boot signals, so that my keyboard power button doesn't power-on my iMac.
And a dead battery would be causing a power-on problem, not a power- down/reboot one. So, it must be purely software related at the source interacting with the keyboard. I have no clue what it might be, although I have noticed firestarter attempting to start as powering down. The thing is, I've powered firestarter down before issuing a shutdown and it doesn't always prevent a reboot. So, I don't know if it's at fault. I've also killed the associated xscreensaver daemon before shutting down without luck. I'm grasping at straws here, but I guess it could still be firestarter caused as it's only a front end to iptables and if's set something amiss ... -- iMac G3 DV SE reboots instead of halting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46445 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
