| #19333 | invalid | acpipowerbutton shutdown failing on Ubuntu | ||
| Description |
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 in a VirtualBox Virtual Machine on a MacOS Mojave host. I can start the VM on the command line: VBoxManage startvm my_ubuntu --type headless The recommended way of shutting a VM down is
however, that fails - the GUI shows a splash menu: Goodbye, Chris, would you like to <the suspend / shutdown option image> I've tried supressing this splash image using sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target and gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session suppress-shutdown-menuitem true gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session suppress-restart-menuitem true gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session suppress-logout-menuitem true gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session user-show-menu false rebooting every time, but the splash screen still shows.
Is there anything else I can try? Or is this a bug with the

I've also noticed that running restart: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused I don't know if this is related, or a red herring... I did wonder if this issue is an Ubuntu issue, rather than a VirtualBox one, but I've asked the question at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1210310/suppress-the-suspend-option-at-shutdown and haven't had a reply in a week... |

| #5524 | wontfix | acpipowerbutton and Other Users problem | ||
| Description |
Guest: Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows XP Pro SP3 Host: CenbtOS 5.4 Hi All, Would you guys please consider fixing this for me. I am at risk of data corruption (why the "critical" priority). It is also a total pain in the neck. This is the command I use to shut down my headless Windows guests: /usr/bin/VBoxManage controlvm $VM_Name acpipowerbutton In theory, it works perfectly. In practice, it is a disaster. If you watch your "head" with VRDP, you will notice a pop up on your Windows guest to the effect: "Other people are logged on". And, you *never* shut down. So, you backup a running VM with dump. Or, you reboot/shutdown your host and kill all your headless VM's and corrupt the heck out of them. As I said: a disaster. Supposedly, and I have not checked this, you can modify the following Windows command to shut your headless VM's down: shutdown /s /m \%Headless_VM_IP% /t 10 /c "Shutdown:PowerFailure" /f /d U:6:12 I have tried this inside the Windows guest and it does work. I just have not modified it for Linux and tried it from the host. This is such a disaster. Would you guys please come up with a method to actually shut down a headless VM under actual operating conditions with VBoxManage? I would really, really appreciate it. Many thanks, -T |

| #3961 | wontfix | acpi power management support | ||
| Description |
I would like to simulate power changes for software that is being developed and tested. It would be nice to simulate unplugging and switchin to battery power for dbus/hal and other various power management facilities to watch. |
