Debian 9 Not Shutting Down Dell Latitude D505

#1 Post by maximus1978 »

I have installed Debian 9 on a Dell Latitude D505.

I am not able to shutdown the machines. It seems to shutdown but then leaves a screen powered on all in black. I have to hold the power button to shut completely off. :(

When I reboot, it works.
When I shutdown, it does not power down completely. Strange

The following does work.

Code: Select all

/sbin/shutdown -h now

Sounds like a simple settings problem. Go to System Settings -> System Administration ->
Startup and Shutdown -> Session Management. Under "Default Leave Option", select "Turn off computer", then click on Apply in the lower right corner.

Go ask google before you ask on these boards.

It it isn't broken, Tweak It !!!

I am using xfce4. I am trying to follow these steps but having trouble.
What Desktop Environment are you referring to?

It has not been mentioned but this is a 333mHz pentium laptop.

Odds are good that it uses apm for power management rather than acpi. The default Kernel config for Debian 9 only enables acpi.

I looked at this several years ago and recall that a custom kernel could be used. Not sure if that still holds.

Hmmm,

Is it a missing package?

Wow
Thanks

Here is my kernel and the config file

/boot/config-4.9.0-3-686
/boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-686

Code: Select all

grep APM config-4.9.0-3-686 
CONFIG_X86_APM_BOOT=y
CONFIG_APM=n
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
I set the following and rebooted.

CONFIG_APM=y

It has fixed the issue. :)

Laptop is Dell Latitude D505 :)
