Problem *seems* to have been introduced in fedora 16. Not present in centos. At least, based on me searching the internet, finding other people asking the same questions and going unanswered. I went and chatted on the fedora IRC, and the consensus there was "fedora doesn't support virtualbox," (which should be irrelevant; I'm not asking fedora to "support" virtualbox; I'm just trying to make a fedora VM shutdown.) And "The behavior you describe is not the behavior most users want." They apparently think most users want the power button to do nothing. Or at least, to do nothing by default, but be configurable to prompt for shutdown if you are logged in at the time, and to do nothing (non-configurable) pre-login at the login screen. But I'm not going to argue with them about that - They also said, they run all their VM's in KVM and use libvirt. I started looking at libvirt, as mentioned previously in this thread. It has support for vmware, virtualbox, kvm, and others. But I got confused by their documentation, didn't figure anything out in an hour, and decided to forget about it for now. All I want to do is shutdown a couple of machines. > After installing acpid are you checking that it is actually set to run at boot > time? > > e.g. > > chkconfig > > /etc/init.d/acpid status Well ... They've eliminated all that in favor of systemd. This is well documented, but I haven't learned it yet. I *do* see acpid is running. (ps -ef | grep acpid) > What about the configuration under > > /etc/acpid/events/power.conf Remains unchanged - still the same in f17 as the one you posted. > /etc/acpi/actions/power.sh That file is different now from the one you pasted (including some lines about systemd). But for the heck of it, I'm going to simply mangle the file, and eliminate everything but the PATH and shutdown command. Yup, that worked. :-) Just to be a nice citizen, I guess I'll go googling around some more, and posting replies to all the other people who were searching for this answer.
