Shutdown sequence does not turn off power on Averatec laptop

[Clare So]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-27-386

I have an Averatec 3150H running Ubuntu dapper.

After selecting "restart" from System->Quit, dapper quits all processes but it does not turn off the power. The power keeps on and the laptop does not restart.

Have you tried with an updated kernel / more recent version of Ubuntu ?

My averatec laptop finally died. I am wondering if there are any Ubuntu users using any Averatec laptops....

I have an 3200 series Averatec laptop using 7.10 Kubuntu. My laptop powers off fine. Don't know if this helps.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

2.6.27-2
2.6.26-5

Big thanks go to Ubuntu kernel team!!

I had the problem that my laptop (FSC Lifebook S-6120) didn't restart since I installed Ubuntu Hardy with kernel 2.6.24-X. When i selected "restart" out of the menus or executed "sudo reboot", the system tried to shut down, but when the usplash bar was at it's minimum nothing happened. The computer didn't restart. Kernel 2.6.27-2 fixes this issue. Restart as well shutdown work now.

Setting this to "Fix Released" based on the decision to stick with the 2.6.27 kernel for Intrepid - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2008-September/003107.html
