Re: [Cooker] shutdown message in rc2

 Most likely this has been reported already, but just in case:
 when shutting down (in graphical/framebuffer mode) the message is
 shutting down... press escape for verbose mode.

 However, the progress bar never completes, and there is no information
 when the system is ready to be powered down (the message doesn't change)
 -- unless you do press escape for verbose mode.


For me, upgrading mandrake_theme (in some cases, upgrading it twice,
since IIRC the problem is in the %preun script, and was only fixed after
rc2, so upgrading once won't fix it) fixes this.

Hi.

Can you send me the output of the commands :
chkconfig --list
cat /etc/exports 
cat /etc/fstab
mount

you probably automount an nfs filesystem from an nfs server somewhere IMHO.

 I want my laptop to boot up automatically into gnome but at the moment
 it does the following:
 
 Switch on and watch it boot
 Automatically goes into icewm
 If i then logout it then automatically goes into gnome.
 
 How can i miss out the icewm stage? This is where the (dead)
 mcc/boot/boot config should come in handy.

RE: [Cooker] Shutdown -h now Error

 Heya fellos,
 On shutdown the computer should automagicaly power off but instead
my
 screen gets populated with values in the form of [022888] ( of
course the
 numbers are different). 

Add apm=realmode-power-off to kernel command line. Bug your vendor to
fix BIOS. It is not a cooker question.

When? The only time I've noticed this to be an issue is during an install

If it's from an installed system, try /sbin/shutdown -r now
You may not have /sbin in your path.

Re: [Cooker] shutdown on Linux

Thanks,

Appartently I was reading the man page wrong ! The entire section was to do 
with /etc/inittab ! (I think it's still wrong since my inittab entry has no 
-a and anyone can use Ctrl-Alt-Del !!!)

Anyway, the person I e-mailed (from the man page itself) suggested I use 
'sudo' and this appears to work fine.

It's because of msec I believe.. may have been the SysVinit package too.

telinit 6
will take it down, at least it did for me!

I had the same prob a couple weeks ago with
one of the 7.0b versions but a newer version
rpm cured it for me. Just wish I could 
remember which rpm it was!?

I have this same problem...I even created a file /etc/shutdown.allow and
put root in it (the man page for shutdown says its just a one entry per
line format) and that didn't help either.

This problem is already fixed in SysVinit-2.77-7mdk...
