It seams I am faced with about the same problem. My host is an almost clean setup of Ubuntu server 8.04 LTS and guest is JeOS 8.04. When I call shutdown in guest everything behaves as expected. Guest shuts down and virsh list shows guest as shutdown. But when I use:
virsh -c qemu:///system shutdown lupo Output is: Connecting to uri: qemu:///system Domain lupo is being shutdown But nothing happens and guest is still up and running. If I use virsh destroy guest gets killed. Having said that destroy is not an option as this may corrupt database of the applications I like to run on that server. The xml description of my guest contains: <features> <acpi/> </features> I also recognized that calling reboot in guest does shutdown but not restart the guest. -- unable to shutdown a guest domain https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
