| 205919 | 2004-01-08 07:12:00 | If Fedora behaves like recent versions of RedHat, then a shutdown from the command prompt will leave the PC running but a shutdown from the GUI should power down the PC. | JohnD (509) | ||
| 205920 | 2004-01-08 08:20:00 | Thanks JohnD. I am using the GUI, and it just ends with Power down, but the power doesn 't go off. Thanks anyway. Wot I may start to do is reboot into Windoze and shut down from there. I can shut down from the Windoze login screen, so it would be easier than the fiddly business of trying to get the battery released from this laptop. And thanks for the Samba website. John |

| 205921 | 2004-01-08 09:23:00 | IIRC, you'll need to uncomment the APM line in /etc/modules.conf Try: modprobe apm then shutdown (As a test). If it works, you know you'll need to load the APM (Advanced Power Management) modules (like a driver...) for it. Cheers Chill. |

| 205922 | 2004-01-08 23:36:00 | Thanks Chill. I have looked up that .conf file, and there is no reference there to APM (I presume that to "uncomment the APM line" means removing it?) However, at root level, I have found the following lines in /boot/config-(kernel number).nptl CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set Does that help in any way? Presumably this means that the APM modules were not installed when I did the original installation. Is there a way of finding them on the installation disks and then installing them? If so, presumably I would have to log on as root prior to doing that? Hope this isn't a pile of gobbledegook on my part! John |

| 205923 | 2004-01-09 07:48:00 | That's right, Fedora has it as a daemon, try: /etc/init . d/apmd start If that works then type: chkconfig --level 345 apmd on That should work :-) Lemme know how you get on Cheers Chill . CyberChuck was here!! :D |

| 205926 | 2004-01-09 09:18:00 | Thanks Chill. SWMBO and I are off to the Riviera of the Antarctic (Dunedin) for four days, so will try that when I get back and will let you know. Watch out for those Cyberchuckies, they are lethal! Thanks for bearing with me. John |

In order for network neighbourhood to "browse" for other computers there needs to be a browse master configured on the network. By default all windows and samba do not "force" them selves to be a browse master. So you can either tell the samba server to be a browse master, don't ask me how or you can force the windows box to be one. Instructions on how to force a windows box to be a browse master can be found in the windows help files or by searching the MSKB. |
