Is there a tweak which I > have missed? virt-manager just invokes the shutdown API in libvirt, which has different impls depending on the underlying hypervisor. In KVM case it invokes the QEMU 'system_shutdown' command, which then triggers an ACPI power button event in the guest. You need to make sure your guest has the <acpi/> feature enabled in its XML config of course, and that the kernel has activated ACPI (may need the acpi=force param), and that acpid is running. IIRC certainly KVM versions have a bug wrt this causing it not to work Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
