Power Management caused 2 second instant poweroff on Desktop
Hey,
I just had the weirdest thing ever, on Fedora 12
I was working on my desktop, running F-12, KVM and like 10 VM's up and running.
I had clicked on the "update" button, but since I was using a voip (hardware)
phone had not yet clicked on "download updates". I iconified the window to get
rid of it while on my call and forgot about it.
Later, while just doing some file editing, a (gnome power management?)
popup appears with a power button on the left side, stating
"Paul Wouters is logged on. System will shut down in 60 seconds". Looking
at the popup kinda surprised, I move my hand to my mouse to hit cancel
and before I reached my mouse, the machine does an instant poweroff,
leaving me stunned in a very quiet room pondering about my 10 VM's that
just crashed along with it.
After the boot, it seems I have no new updates left to install :P
Also, kernel did not change, still 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64, so even if
this was some automatic update effect timed badly, I am not sure why it
needed to poweroff my machine.
I'm not sure which component to bug report for, or whose Christmas
present to take away :P
Paul
