Closing bug as acpi is disabled by default on older PCs (pre year 2000). ACPI
must be forced with kernel option if acpi functionality exists. Please re-mark
as NEW if you think referral to INVALID is errant.
Thanks.

You're correct. I had my machines mixed up. The one with the problem
indeed does not support ACPI.
My apologies and thank you for your time.

This bug is due to be closed as the default behaviour is to disable ACPI
support on old motherboards. Gutsy warns about this at boot time and suggests
that "acpi=force" be used if the system has some form of ACPI functionality.

Jarlath,
I would suggest that you do the following:
Check your bios settings. There will likely be a setting which sets the
functionality of the power button. Try some different settings here. The usual
options are Suspend to RAM or Disk, and "hold for 4 secs for hard power down",
"signal to OS
I should have mentioned that my mobo is a Gigabyte DS3 motherboard and ACPI is
surely supported.

But I will try the boot option and see if it helps.

Jarlath,
Have you tried the kernel boot option specified in the previous comment by
Michal?
On older PCs (like Michal's) ACPI is disabled by default because it didn't
physically exist in most PCs back around 1999. If a PC from this era does
happen to have ACPI functionality then you must force t

I can confirm this. If I wait long enough, the shutdown dialog does come
up. If I cancel, subsequent uses of the shutdown button applet behave
normally. So it's just the first time.
Interestingly, Hibernate and Suspend options are not available on the
first appearance of the dialog, only on the su
