shutdown via power buttonForum: Laptops Topic: shutdown via power button started by: cyppie Posted by cyppie on Jan. 02 2006,03:36
I have a HD DSL insall on a toshiba 4000 notebook.I am going to install it into a picture frame so it will not have a keyboard or mouse. So I want DSL to shutdown when I press the power button. I can not seem to work out how to do it. I was hopping ACPI will have done it automatically. Any pointers? Posted by cbagger01 on Jan. 03 2006,11:25
Try Enabling APT or SYNAPTICThen apt-get install acpid This is the acpi daemon that monitors the power button or laptop lid switch. Search google for instructions on how to use acpid for more help. Posted by cyppie on Jan. 05 2006,09:48
