Afterwards we wanted to manage the vm within virt-manager.</p> <p>Acpid was installed, but nothing happend if we tried to shutdown or reboot the vm via acpi requests.</p> <p>The problem was, that the migrated kvm vm still tought that it is a hardware instead of a vm. Therefore I changed the entry within the acpi events.</p> <blockquote> <ul class="simple"> <li>Edit /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn to contain action=/sbin/poweroff</li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>As an alternative you could purge and reinstall the acpid package.</p> <blockquote> <ul class="simple"> <li>apt-get purge acpid</li> <li>apt-get install acpid</li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>Sometimes it's that easy :-)</p></div>acpidconfigkvmhttps://openattic.org/posts/kvm-guest-with-acpid-installed-will-not-shutdown/Tue, 30 Aug 2016 14:17:42 GMT
