[Solved] Turn off the PC with acpi=off

Post by TuonoPayne » Fri May 16, 2014 11:23 am

Hi during the installation of the new linux mint 17 rc I had to disable acpi, otherwise the PC was restarted after a period of time.
But now when I send the input to shut down the PC at first this seems to shut down but actually restarts,
I already tried to turn it off using the command

but nothing, with acpi disabled does not turn off if you do not hold down the power button.
I also tried to change the boot parameters acpi=off replacing with acpi=ht, pci=noapci, acpi=noirq, pnpacpi=off, noapic, nolapic, but this way the pc will restart again before start.
with the previous version (linux mint 16) did not have these problems so maybe it could be a problem with the kernel?
Configuration of my PC:
CPU: AMD A8-5500 APU with Radeon ™ HD Graphics
Motherboard: FM2-A75IA-E53 (MS-7792)
when I returned on linux mint 16
the bios is alredy at the latest version avviable,
i’ve alredy tryed to reset the bios uselessly
reflected the same problem by enabling and disabling the acpi in bios
i’ve the same problem with the new ubuntu 14.04, and the new version of antergos
thanks

Booting Ubuntu with «acpi=off» grub parameter

In order for me to boot into 12.04, I have to add the parameter acpi=off in grub. Any other options as specified here do not allow me to boot into Ubuntu. My question is simple, what does setting the parameter acpi=off actually do? And more importantly does repeatedly booting with acpi=off damage or harm the computer in anyway?

Using acpi = off disables your Advanced Configuration and Power Interface off temporarily while booting Ubuntu. If you have to add the acpi = off to let ubuntu boot successfully, it means that the ACPI on your computer isn’t compatible with this version of ubuntu.

I don’t think using acpi = off repeatedly wrecks your computer, because it only disables ACPI temporarily.

However, if you don’t want to add the acpi = off parameters every time you boot, you can disable the new card (BIOS) or disable ACPI (also from the BIOS). Use the second option if you can’t find the New Card Interface.

But, if you have Windows, disabling ACPI from the BIOS may wreck Windows and the computer will force you to reinstall it. So do that if you have a hidden windows recovery partition in your computer.

How should disabling ACPI harm Windows? It disables ACPI-usage in the Linux kernel, but not modify the ACPI-table on the BIOS. Windows can’t be affected.

I actually disabled ACPI from the BIOS myself, and windows got an error of having «a serious problem» when I booted it. Fortunately, the computer had a hidden recovery partition (which I didn’t know) and fixed the problem by itself. Then I searched online and found a bunch of people (no recovery partitions) that had to reinstall windows after disabling ACPI from the BIOS. But I’m also not so sure why.

Ah — you disable it in the BIOS, not in the GRUB boot-options? I thought you talked about the latter.

I’ve recently purchased a HP Envy 17 j053ea machine to take advantage of the i7 and oodles of memory. Cutting to the chase I suffered from many issues with this install. The wireless didn’t work, the screen «black screened» during installation and thereafter during booting. The get around for the black screen was the boot option acpi=off , but this of course meant that the laptop would not suspend when I closed the lid which is clearly suboptimal. After searching for the past two days I have found many good articles/explanations of acpi and a much better option:

Then I found: No ACPI support for my PC, what can I do? from irrational_john . way to go .. acpi=ht didn’t work but pci=noacpi has done the trick. For your hardware I’d recommend John’s approach pf cycling through the options he provided:

nolapic noapic acpi_osi=“Linux” acpi_osi=“Windows 2006” acpi=ht pci=noacpi acpi=noirq pnpacpi=off 

With this in hand abd to address “wub’s” .. on point answer above, once you find the one that works:

bash# cd /etc/default bash# sudo vi grub # Use the vi editor to add the boot options to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash pci=noacpi” 

bash# sudo update-grub bash# sudo reboot

How do I disable ACPI when booting?

When I tried to install Ubuntu from the live CD start menu, the screen became black with just a blinking cursor. I rebooted the PC and I chose the option acpi=off . Then the installer started and Ubuntu installed whitout problems. But when I reboot the PC now after the installation was complete the screen goes black again. I am new in the use of Ubuntu.

Please add acpi=off to the kernel command line — it’s just slightly different than doing it with the LiveCD:

1. Press the Shift when booting up, to get the Grub menu. Use the arrow keys to navigate/highlight the entry you want (usually the first one).
2. Press e to edit that entry, which will show you the details:
3. Find the linux entry as shown above, use the arrow keys to get to it, and then press the End key to get to that line’s end (which may be on the next line!). Enter acpi=off as shown, and press Ctrl + X to boot.
4. You can make this workaround permanent by:
   • sudo nano /etc/default/grub
   • Change line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=»quiet splash» to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=»quiet splash acpi=off»
   • Ctrl — X , press Y and then Enter to save and exit.
   • sudo update-grub
   • Reboot and you should no longer have the black screen problem.

Turn Off ACPI while Booting Ubuntu via Grub2: How to?

So, let’s have a look at how to disable ACPI after installing Ubuntu.

At first booting up: follow the steps given below to turn off ACPI while booting ubuntu via grub2.

• Start the computer and wait for the GRUB menu to appear (if there are no GRUB menu, press and hold the left Shift key right after starting the system).

Make the change permanent:

Finally, we have to update the changes by typing in the following command line to update and turn off ACPI while booting ubuntu via grub2:

Method 2: turn off ACPI while booting ubuntu via grub2

Please add acpi=off to the kernel command line – it’s only little different from the LiveCD:

To access the Grub menu, hold down the Shift key while booting up. We must navigate to the entry that we wish to view(usually the first one).

* Change line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=»quiet splash» to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=»quiet splash acpi=off»

This will turn off ACPI while booting ubuntu via grub2.

Note: As an additional method we can use the Boot-Repair’s Advanced options to add acpi=off (or any other kernel option) to the GRUB in 1 click. It will also provide a BootInfo summary if we need more help.
