Hi
I usually disable any shutdown from the power button on other OSes, since I don't like when I accidentally press them, but I wanted to try this procedure on a Thinkpad SL500 machine I have right here.
- ArcaOS 5.0.2
- Thinkpad SL500 - 2746-CTO - Intel Core 2 Duo P7370 / 2 GHz
- ACPI 3.23.08 - 2 Cores recognized on boot.
- XWorkplace shutdown works and can turn off the computer
I tried the procedure listed by Lewis on the ticket.
Copy %ETC%\acpid.cfg.sample to %ETC%\acpid.cfg (usually, %ETC% will be <boot volume>\MPTN\ETC).
Open %ETC%\acpid.cfg in your favorite text editor.
Locate the "What to do if the Power button is pressed" section of the [ACPID] stanza.
Ensure that the line reads: PowerButton = Off
If necessary, edit the file and save.
Reboot to activate the settings in the ACPID.CFG file.
The acpid.cfg file is located inside x:\MPTN\ETC. The ETC on the config.sys points the same.
After the reboot. I preset the power button a there was no shutdown with the button. I hold it for like 3 seconds, trying not to do a "hard power off" and no luck.
I also updated to ACPI 3.23.09 and it does not work also.
I even tried changing "Off" to "off" just in case, rebooted and it also does not work.
Regards
