Along with one or two others, I've been reporting this defect for years. This is a unique Puppy feature. In principle, a direct comparison of Puppy code with how other developers do things should provide the answer? But who am I to .... |

Sage or anyone else who had shut down problems looks like just a few of us had this problem ? try this CD and let me know if it now powers off your puppy box puppy based 4.12 with the 2.6.27.7 SMP kernel Slaxer_Pup-412.iso.md5.txt d0668f33bc5a2c25c59df8230f152e6a Slaxer_Pup-412.iso 85MB lzm compressed http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/big_bass/Slaxer_pup%20ISO/Slaxer_Pup-412.iso
when asked for the password this live CD does poweroff my box

Hi big_bass, I have been one of the "few" who have had problems with shutdown; please see my post in this thread dated 27 jan 09. So I downloaded your pup tonight and for the very first time my test PC shuts down and ctrl+alt+backspace reboots the x-server (rather than crashes the system) without needing to add acpi=force to grub. As an aside it seems to boot much quicker than standard 410, 412, 420. Not sure how fair a comparison this is though. Sorry, very tired tonight but will try to time it tomorrow to compare. Congratulations! Whatever you did, please keep it up! 
EDIT: In the light of day I did a quick and dirty test and sorry but it doesn't boot any faster. Perhaps I was fooling myself by the speed at which the text flew by on the boot-up screen. |
