Description Mauro Sacchetto 2006-09-24 04:43:31 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: [no t able to determinate]
Distribution: Slackware 10.2
Hardware Environment: Pentium 4 3200 - MOBO GigaByte 8AECXPD i925XE
Software Environment: KDE 3.5.4
Problem Description: I use Slackware 10.2 and current with different kernel of
2.6 branch. In both these cases, I'm not able to shut down correctly my pc, but
if and only if I use KDE. With other DE (as Fluxbox) or if I use only the
console, it works fine. But, if I enter in KDE, when I try to shut down my pc, I
receive the message: "Power down. Acpi_power_off called" and it's possibile
to turn the pc off only turnin' off the elettricity too. The on/off button 
doesn't work.
After a lot of investigations and recompilations of kernel, finally I discovered
the cause of this trouble. The origin of all is the module hda_intel, for my
sound card. If it's disabled, the pc shuts down correctly. If loaded, the pc
doesn't halt. I don't know if this is due to alsa modules or to KDE, but, in any
case, I've no problems If I use other DE as Fluxbox or if I work in console. So,
IMHO, there must be something hurting in the relationship between the hda_intel
module and the audio management in KDE (I mean aRTS).
I wrote do Bugzilla KDE (BUG no. 134480), bit having this answer:

------- Additional Comment #6 From Stephan Kulow 2006-09-24 11:07 -------
nope, it just means your kernel module is buggy indeed

I wrote to alsa-devel too.

Steps to reproduce: enter in KDE, and shutdown the pc with any command (halt,
poweroff, shutdown -h now)

Thanx
MS

Today I wrote to Alsa team too:
bug no. 2475.

Could you give one of the 2.6.19-rc kernels a test?  There were some changes
that might make a difference on this.

If that still doesn't work, could you post your attach your dmesg out?

I just installed the definite release of 2.6.19,
but I0ve the same problem. As temporary solution
to shut down fisically my pc. I put in rc.local_shutdown
the following lines:
rmmod -f snd_hda_intel
rmmod -f snd_hda_codec
I remember you that, if I work only in console 
or use a different WM that KDe, all works properly.
Only if I load KDE, after I'm not able to shutdown
properly my pc

Mauro,
OK, you should definitely give it a shot with 2.6.22-rc4 and above. 
If you still have a problem, can you please get a trace with alt-sysrq-t - while the system is supposedly in shutdown - and attach it to the report.
Thanks.

I've got the same problem with the hdaudio module still in kernel 2.6.22.
It's not a problem with kde. I'm running windowmaker with that problem, too. Unloading snd_hda_intel and snd_hda_codec before shutting down is a workaround for me.

Hardware environment: Pentium 4 3000 EM64T - Asus P5GD2 Premium mainboard
Software environment: Windowmaker 0.92.0 (debian SID)
Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2007-07-23 03:26:35 UTC
The hardwares with such problems are usually the unknown devices, and the driver tries to probe it according to the BIOS information.  And, as you know, BIOS is often broken.

Check /proc/asound/card0/codec#* file to see what codec chip is there, and try various model module option for snd-hda-intel module as listed in ALSA-Configuration.txt.  Some of these presets may match better than BIOS setting.

Does anyone have an update on this? Did you have chance to try suggested in #6?

Comment 9 Alexander Fieroch 2008-04-02 13:21:56 UTC
I have got the C-Media CMI9880 codec chip and added the line 'snd-hda-intel model=full_dig' to /etc/modules, but that doesn't work for me (kernel 2.6.24). rmmod before shutting down is working.
Comment 10 Leslie Faulkner 2024-10-30 02:40:11 UTC
This issue http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7195 https://solarsmash.co appears to be due to a conflict between the hda_intel audio module and KDE’s audio manager (aRTS) on Slackware 10.2. When KDE is running, the system fails to power off correctly after the message "Power down. Acpi_power_off called." Disabling hda_intel allows proper shutdown, while the issue does not occur in other desktop environments like Fluxbox or in console mode.
