I can't stop my PC

[EvilAngel]

Hi all,

I have a fresh Kubuntu 8.04 install on an AMD64 PC.

When i want to switch off my PC, i am clicking in the KDE window to switch off.
The session is closed, the PC is shortly switching in console mode, the screen is getting black, but the electricity keeps on.

I have to manually use the power button to switch off the PC.

However, if i am typing sudo halt in a console, then the PC is switching off completely.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Refresh your screen, if that doesn't help, re-start X control/alt>delete. you will have log in again. This may or may not solve the problem....

I believe KDE has it in its right-click dropdown menu. If not, my apologies.

Ok, i found the solution on another Ubuntu forum.

To fix the problem, you have to add
apm power_off=1

to /etc/modules file.

Now it works perfectly :)
