Shutdown computer

I have a new computer and had little trouble installing Arch64. But when I shutdown the computer all the lights on my keyboard, mouse and back of the pc itself (network devices and such) stay on. When shutting down from Windows everything turns off like it should.

Anyone know anything about this?

Re: Shutdown computer

Anyone? Anyone?

Do I have to reboot to Windows just to shutdown properly?

Re: Shutdown computer

hi there.
Have you tried shuting down with

sudo shutdown -h now

Everything is then off for me.

Re: Shutdown computer

How exactly are you shutting down your system? From the commandline, or from Gnome, KDE, ect?

I personally use halt when I'm shutting down from the commandline.

Re: Shutdown computer

"halt" is easiest way to shutdown.

# chmod +x /sbin/halt
$ halt

Computer is shutting down...

Arch - It's something refreshing

Re: Shutdown computer

I usually use "poweroff" - but I actually don't know if there's any difference... They seem to do the same here.

poweroff is just a symlink to halt. wink
