Acer Aspire v5 571 reboot on power off

engraves · 2015-01-25 03:15:45

Everytime I try to power off my laptop it'll reboot in any linux distro. The only fix I found to work is this http://www.pbehnke.com/main/node/11 but that's for fedora. How would I go about doing the same thing in arch? I've also tried the answer posted at the end of this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191098. No luck.

What happens when you run that script manually?

It's been a while since either Arch or Fedora were using initscripts...

If I were you, I'd probably write a systemd service to execute the for loop when you make the call to shutdown.

EDIT: It just so happens that on the second page of the reference thread for the script, there is this:

# Bus list for the runtime power management module. Probably shouldn't

buslist="pci i2c"

for bus in $buslist; do                                                             
  for i in /sys/bus/$bus/devices/*/power/control; do                              
    echo on > $i
  done
done

/etc/systemd/system/laptop-mode-tools.service

.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/laptop-mode-tools.service

[Service]
ExecStopPost=/bin/rm -f /var/run/laptop-mode-tools/enabled ; /usr/local/bin/shutdown-power-management.sh

After you created the files, execute systemctl daemon-reload

EDIT2: Depending on how you've set things up, you might need a slightly different service file to get it to execute though.

I'm assuming he has made the script and the systemd service to call upon it. But wanted to know if just running the script yielded the result he was looking for.

Well I don't know how to get it to work on systemd because it was designed for init.d

Is there a way of running that script without laptop-mode-tools?

For systemd, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd
This is mandatory reading for using arch imo.

As to running the script, that sh file, read http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-run- … -in-linux/

There's the fix for anyone having this problem aswell.

Thank you, engraves. I had the same problem on a similar laptop (Acer v5 471G). On Ubuntu I was able to install laptop-mode-tools and the problem is gone, but installing the package on Arch didn't help. Your solution works fine

Arch Linux
