Subject description: Press power button to shutdown & poweroff your puppy		  
Hmmm .....

I was wondering why puppy doesn't react to the power button ... instead power just gets cut-off ... woops ...

Hmm, ok ACPI module isn't loaded ... now ACPI loaded with acpi=force ... but, still no reaction to power button ... looked for clues and found acpid ... Right, went off to grab the source, had a look and made a binary ... Configured and loaded acpid ... woops ... still no reaction to power button ...

Ok, after more reading and more checking, I understand now how it works ... Made a simple script to turn on power button support and set the config for puppy ... Walla ... press power button and puppy will now shutdown-and-poweroff ...

I did a search for a pet but found a pup ... Figured that a pet could make life easier for some ... This pet package contains acpid & acpi_listen daemon compiled from latest source 1.0.8 ... The /etc/acpi/events/acpid.conf file has the settings to shutdown and poweroff puppy which can be expanded to cover other acpi events ... A small script rc.acpi will be placed into init.d to turn on button and start acpid daemon ...

This pet package was tested with a LiveCD/Frugal & full hdd install on an old pentium II pc with a pre-2001 bios where ACPI needs to be turned on by acpi=force ...

Anyone who's willing to give this a try, please let me know how it goes ...

Hey there big_bass !

Been using puppy for quite a while actually ... Definitely grew on me by each day ... Smile

working

Went straight to sourceforge and found an updated source ... compiled sucesssfully on first try ... figuring how to get it to work took a bit while longer ...

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38072

I just did ... wowzer ... for fun, I did try recompiling the kernel myself and screwed up something ... haha ... need more time to experiment on that one ...

And could you try this one out for me ? I don't have a problematic system poweroff and it's only just a hunch .... Just to observe if there's anything different ... (it's supposedly do a forced shutdown bypassing init ... since init is busybox itself...)

- Edit /sbin/poweroff and add -f switch at the end, like this
exec /sbin/busybox poweroff -f

I'm also interested to know on what system config would such problematic poweroff occurs ...

And finally, I've revised the rc.acpi script to handle start/stop/restart ... I just noticed the acpid exit msg on shutdown and it bugs me, so I did a proper script ... I hope it is satisfactory ...

Rgds

Edit:
I've found a bug that prevents acpid to poweroff if you exit to terminal prompt. This should be the last fix for the week as I ran this pet over and over again until I get it right ... The new pet can be cleanly installed over the previous pet.

Please let me know how it goes ... Thanks ...

I did try your package on a live CD puppy 4.12
I was not able to correctly test your pet for these reasons:

1.) my computer's power button doesn't send an event so I cant trap it
this is no fault of your package but my keyboard

2.)/proc/acpi folder is not there either so I cant even remap another key to test with

but ....since I have a slackware install also that already comes with acpi version 1.0.4 on slackware 12.1 I can see if another key would work

I did compile the latest 1.08 on my slack box and made a slackware.tgz package


so I'll keep ya posted
I hope we get some more testers
this has a lot of potential for laptops Wink
even though I have a desktop

I can help there. I have included this for Puppy-4.2alpha3 release, so you should get a plethora of testers from that! Wink

Patriot,
i installed your *.pet, rebooted and tried to shutdown computer by pressing the power-button. It switched off without any preparing procedures. Now puppy cannot boot, stops after "Recognising media devices".
What to do ?!!!!

P.S.
Forgot ! Puppy installed on HDD fully, and my computer is laptop Toshiba Satellite 4030CDT

I'm very new to linux but started out with an Apple IIe a long time ago and love all the things that can be done with scripting and such...

Got it working on a Dell Inspiron 2200 running Puppy 4.3.

Installed then rebooted.

Confirmed /usr/sbin/acpid was running as a process.

Edited /etc/acpi/events/acpid.conf to:

event=button/power*
action=/usr/bin/wmpoweroff

Momentary press of the power button preforms a normal shutdown.

Thanks...

The 4030CDT is likely to have acpi disabled by the kernel if the bios predates 2001 ... If acpi is not working, acpid won't either ... You can try adding acpi=force on the kernel line on bootup to force acpi on ... If I'm not mistaken the bios dsdt should work for acpi on 4030CDT ... YMMV ...

Ok, I will update the packages in a couple of days to support all puppy >= 4.0 versions ...

Subject description: pressing power button to shut down Puppy		  
I added this to Puppy Stardust 009 and it works for me.
Push power button, Puppy does normal shutdown, and computer powers off.
Nice!

Note:

My power button is the kind that has to be pushed for 4 or 5 seconds to kill power. When using this program, I push it for 1 or 2 seconds and it does not shut off power, but starts Puppy shutdown. Power shuts off at the end of Puppy shutdown.

Patriot, this is so cool. I hated that this was missing from 4.3, but could not find how to implement it. Found this thread via the stardust thread, thanks so much.............

Hi Partiot and to all,
Here you can find acpid-1.0.10-1.pet supports suspend with lid closing for notebooks.
it also offers shutdown dialog when the power button is pressed.

Thx for that nice program Smile works like harm on puppy 5.1 and HP Thin Client T5520
I only reconfigured time that puppy wait for shuttdown to 5 seconds after key is pressed Smile

Greetings 4 all

Found one bug at least :

#!/bin/sh

# Revision 0.0.2

### ACPI : Power Button ###
acpi_start() {
if [ -f proc/acpi/button/power/PWRF/info ]; then
echo "Power Button module already loaded."

should be
if [ -f /proc/acpi/button/power/PWRF/info ]; then

Subject description: for me it now supports standby		  
Hello there and many thanks (Patriot and shinobar) for the prog.

I made some changes to get standby working (and some other little things). Don't know if it's working for all comuters, but for my Asus, Sony and Dell notebooks it is.
Here's the code of the acpi_poweroff.sh. Please have a look at it and sorry for playing so "bad" with the script. I'm a rookie Wink

# 12feb10 stop acpid before powroff
# little mods and german locale by soliver for veggie-pupp THANKS to Patriot and shinobar
