sb11, perhaps you can look for a script named button.sh or something like this in /etc/acpid/events/ This script is called by acpid when you press on the button; I suppose the script does something different than the command you've defined for srvPowerControl. (I have no computer installed with acpid, so I can't be much more precise.)
Do you need to run the graphical user interface (Xorg), and your gnome desktop on top of that, at all times? If not, you need to alter the "runlevel" settings in Ubuntu to stay in text mode until you start the GUI with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start". Not running Xorg+Gnome will save you *a lot* of RAM. Altering runlevels : 'a thread on ubuntu forums' (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=873987), among plenty others. Personally I never could figure out using the "update-initrd" command which is the ubuntu way of changing a runlevel. I do as one in the ubuntu thread suggests (message #9) : edit files (links in fact) in the /etc/rc?.d/ directories manually. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
