I have found a solution which works(at least yesterday and today) on my laptop. My laptop is BenQ S73 with intel centrino duo T2050 and ATIx1600. I installed Ubuntu Feisty. I found that before shutdown, remove the pcmcia module as follows:
#sudo rmmod pcmcia Then the computer COULD turn off the power. I don't know the exact reason, and I have called the manufacturer. They said that my has PCI express slot INSTEAD OF pcmcia slot. So, for some not-so-old computers, maybe it is worth having a try. -- Power down after shutdown does not work... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43961 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of a duplicate bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
