Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Incomplete shutdown on some clients (shutdown hangs/freezes)

Good news! I was the problem. Specifically, a bit sloppy on a piece of testing. When I was testing to see if changing various BIOS power management settings made any difference, I ended up leaving it configured with both APM and ACPI off. Then yesterday I hooked up a different eMachines cli

Thanks! That gets me to first or second base. The HP that I was testing with now shuts down completely under the Lubuntu LTSP server. (I have not tested it yet with Ubuntu.) But the eMachines that I was testing with still fails the same way as before under both Lubuntu and Edubuntu LTSP. I

I second this. I'm using LTSP on the server version of Ubuntu 12.04. With 11.10, the machines shut off, but not now. They will reboot just fine. It happens at least with HP Z210's. We recently upgraded and I can't recall if it happens on other machines (and hate to interrupt anyone to turn them

[Ltsp-discuss] Incomplete shutdown on some clients (shutdown hangs/freezes)
