Lenovo Flex-2 14 reboot instead of shutdown

English Hardware

Hi all,

I recently got a nice Lenvo Flex-2 14 and want to run dual-boot OpenSuse / Kali on it.

Installation of both distros ran flawlessly, BUT: I can’t shutoff. Both on OpenSuse and Kali the computer reboots when I press the shutdown-button. I have tried around with different acpi settings (off; noirq; force reboot=a,b,p), but nothing changed.

The BIOS is very limited and I can’t configure any powersettings. I will try a BIOS update tomorrow (a pretty pain in the ass since it only works in Windows), but I doubt that there will be results.

Any suggestions or will I have to make it a Windows / Kali-VM system? :frowning:

Thanks
Oli

Update: Installed W8 today, no shutdown problems here. Will go with W8 / Kali-VM for now, but I’d still hugely appreciate help with this issue, as I do prefer OpenSUSE over Windows on a workstation. :slight_smile:

That said, I haven’t tested shutdown on OpenSUSE after the BIOS update yet, will report back tomorrow.

Just googled some more and came up with a possible solution, will try tomorrow:

Before shutdown:

#!/bin/bash

for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control;
  do echo on > $i
done
