(solved)computer can't shut-down any more

Since dist-upgrade last week the PC cant shut-down any more by using the red button.I can hear that the HD is clicked out,
but then the monitor and the PC stays on.
I think this is caused by systemd.
To reboot is still working.
With the command

Code: Select all

systemctl poweroff

a complete shut-down takes place
Is there a possibility to let the red button just do this command?

The file you want to edit is in /usr/local/bin.
I am not on my antiX box to get the exact name of the file.

Make a backup 1st of the .sh file before making any changes.
It will be named something exit.sh.

Glad you got it solved. Can you take a little time out to explain exactly what you edited and how for other users running into this?

Sure I can.
Like you said the little red button sits in /usr/local/bin.The file is called exitantix.sh.
These are the last lines inthe file:

Code: Select all

if ["$EXIT" ="shutdown_antix" ] ; then
    if which persist-config &> /dev/null; then
        sudo persist-config --shutdown --command halt
    else
        sudo halt
    fi
fi

I changed them by editing as root to this:

Code: Select all

if ["$EXIT" ="shutdown_antix" ] ; then
    if which persist-config &> /dev/null; then
        sudo persist-config --shutdown --command poweroff
    else
        sudo poweroff
    fi
fi

That works, caprea. As my system now has systemd changing the"halt" to"poweroff" was needed in order for systemd to power the system fully off as it does not recognize the halt option to shutdown.
