ACPI Shutdown has no effect

[BaltoStar]

Windows 7 Enterprise SP1

Oracle VM Virtual Box v4.2.16 r86992

I've created an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VB using Vagrant ( Vagrantfile "vagrant up" ).

I Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager , the VB is shown as running. However, right-click > Close > ACPI Shutdown has no effect.

Anyone know why ?

Normally you don't need to use Virtualbox GUI any more, for shutdown the vm, just 'vagrant halt' at the same folder you did 'vagrant up'

Thanks Bruce.  After "vagrant halt" what command brings it back up ?

That would be "vagrant up" again :)

You can find more about vagrant command line here http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/cli/index.html

Or just run "vagrant help" to see what commands you can use.

 Hi,

Let me jump in this thread. I have exactly the same case.

However, my point is, that I want to distribute vagrant created VM to someone else. This person will use virtual box only - no vagrant at all. This is the reason I do need 'ACPI shutdown' working.

Do you know how can I enable it?

Hi mikolajr,

If you want to distribute the VM without vagrant, you can use Virtualbox export feature (normally under File -> Export Appliance) to export VM to a OVA/OVF format then import to Virtualbox elsewhere. 

Or you can just copy the vm's vmdk file over.

Cheers,

Bruce

Bruce,

Thank you for your time, but you did not answer my question. My question was: how to enable ACPI shutdown on vagrant-created VMs, because end user will not have vagrant in order to issue 'vagrant halt' command.

Answer to my question is: install "acpid" package in Ubuntu guest installation. That daemon will take care of ACPI events and perform graceful machine shutdown when requested.
