what about the acpi daemon? is it running well or not?
Yes, acpid is always running. (I don't know if it is running "well", how do you tell?)
The acpid daemon logs all the events that it sees to /var/log/acpid
What is recorded there when you close and open the lid? or press Fn-F4 (on my T30) to initiate sleep?
Yes, this seems to be recorded, though I have not set up any software to use the sleep command, so this has no effect: ------------------------------------------------------------------ [Sun Aug 20 23:43:55 2006] received event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000d" [Sun Aug 20 23:43:55 2006] notifying client 1991[68:68] [Sun Aug 20 23:43:55 2006] completed event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000d" [Sun Aug 20 23:44:00 2006] received event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000e" [Sun Aug 20 23:44:00 2006] notifying client 1991[68:68] [Sun Aug 20 23:44:00 2006] completed event "button/lid LID 00000080 0000000e" [Sun Aug 20 23:45:08 2006] received event "button/sleep SLPB 00000080 00000001" [Sun Aug 20 23:45:08 2006] notifying client 1991[68:68] [Sun Aug 20 23:45:08 2006] completed event "button/sleep SLPB 00000080 00000001" ------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know about the T20, but my T30 sleeps and hibernates properly provided that I use pm-suspend and pm-hibernate, respectively.
I wasn't actually asking about suspend or hibernate, I was asking why shutdown does not work properly on my T20 - the disk stops, but the machine does not usually turn off. It doesn't particularly worry me, since I assume as the disk is no longer spinning nothing bad can happen if I press the power button for 10 seconds. And in fact nothing bad does seem to happen.
I suspect this issue is connected to acpi, although it still happens now I have turned off the cpuinfo temperature indicator.
Make sure you have installed the pm-utils package, eg, yum install pm-utils
I'm not sure of the relevance to my problem, but I do in fact have this package installed.
