Hello, I have a laptop, in a docking station. When running RHEL/Centos 7 I could shut it down and power it off by using 'shutdown -h now' In did a new install of Centos 8 (and also RHEL 8) and when I do a "shutdown -h now" it just reboots (behaves the same as if I'd do a reboot). Is that a known issue? thanks, Ron

Is it dell docking station, tha new one with usb-c? It always powers on the laptop as soon I switch the power cord and sometime reboots a laptop insted of shutting it down. It is my work pc and I'm not allowed to boot Linux in any way, so I'm not sure if it's a Windows thing, or the station itself is malfunctioning. -- ?ukasz Posadowski
So I tried a few things, I have a few docking stations, and they all seem to show that problem. Can't shut it down, remotely, while in a docking station. Also,? when in a docking station and using? the laptops? keyboard and LCD screen,? and? power down the laptop in RHEL/Centos, just results into a reboot.? It does that? with RHEL/Centos 7 and 8. When I? boot it with Centos 6,? the behaviour is as expected,? it just shuts down. So I guess this issue? was "introduced" after Centos 6 somewhere? thanks, Ron On 3/28/21 9:17 PM, R C wrote:> Hello, > > > I have a laptop, in a docking station.
