Ubuntu and Sony?

Ive installed ubuntu 7.04 on my sony vaio bx laptop. But, when i click shutdown on linux it goes through all that txt and everything and the ubuntu logo, then the screen goes blank however the laptops still on?

Anyone know a fix? Thanks

Sounds like an ACPI issue. Is ACPI enabled in your BIOS and is it enabled in the kernel i.e. there are no kernel commands such as linux acpi=off being passed at boot time?

Well im a noob with these things so any easy way to check?

I'd like to know this too!.. as my Ubuntu install (dual boot with WinXP home) seems to stay connected to my Router and My Mouse is still lit up (active) even though I've shut down!?!?!...

I'm a Linux n00b too!!!... how do you set/check the ACPI for Linux!?..

From a terminal, you could do;

sudo chkconfig --list | grep acpi

It should say;

3 : on
4 : on
5 : on

This is in RH/SuSE, I think Debian still uses those runlevels?
