#5859: "shutdown -q" fails in terminal -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: Disreali | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/Development Keywords: | Blockedby: Platform: All | Blocking: -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Comment(by bonefish): Replying to [comment:3 Disreali]: > Replying to [comment:2 axeld]: > > Generally, powering off can only work if APM or ACPI has been enabled - did you do that? It's not enabled by default in that revision yet (only after r36474). > > One of the first things I do after any install is to enable ACPI. Though, I do not enable APM. Is that needed also? No, enabling both is calling for trouble. > I tried to upload my syslog, but it was to big. I don't know what I should be looking for in the syslog. If someone could give me an idea, I could then upload that section. Please note that the syslog can contain output of several sessions. One is fully sufficient. You can e.g. search for a line "Welcome to the Haiku boot loader!". The output for the session starts about 20 lines above that with a line "options = 0". Normally the output for a single session shouldn't hit the attachment size limit. If it still does, please zip it (gzip, bzip2, zip,...). > Also, I just found out that if I enter 'shutdown' without any switch, it will shutdown the system. This is not expected behavior. Entering 'shutdown' without a switch should print out the same as 'shutdown -h'. The current behavior is definitely the expected one. All commands that don't need arguments should have a reasonable default behavior when invoked without any. And it is kind of obvious what the default behavior of the ''shutdown'' command would be. Replying to [comment:4 Disreali]: > Just installed r36511-alpha-rc and entering 'shutdown -q' in terminal freezes the system. System does not respond to keyboard or mouse input, and I have to do a hard reset. > > Would you prefer I enter a new ticket for this? Yes please. Also check whether you can still enter the kernel debugger (Alt-Sysreq-D). -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5859#comment:5> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
