On all the machines I have tested so far with Precise, running "halt" by itself only halts the machine but doesn't power it off.
However, running halt -p powers it off just fine. Was this change documented somewhere or is it a true bug? /etc/defaults/halt has the same POWEROFF entry on 10.04 as 12.04 yet 10.04 halts and powers off just fine if issued the halt command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880240 Title: system doesn't turn off if "sudo halt" is given To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
