Hi,

I have Ubuntu 8.0.4 host and guest.

I'm trying to gracefully shutdown the guest from the host. Here's the
guest vminfo:

>From the host I issue "VBoxManage controlvm Web1 acpipowerbutton" and
the host accepts the command without any errors.

However, the guest doesn't respond. I have an ssh session into the guest
and nothing happens. It doesn't initiate a shutdown, dmesg doesn't show
anything.

Anyone know if Ubuntu isn't picking up the powerbutton event?
