virtualbox.org

Hi,

A Centos 7 VM does not shut down properly when doing:
Instead it seems to halt or suspend or so. I see a blank black screen with a cursor blinking on the top left. Same thing happens when I send an ACPI Shutdown from the VirtualBox UI. Running "sudo poweroff" inside the VM works however.

I've tried playing around with /etc/systemd/logind.conf to no effect.

Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this? The objective is to do a clean shutdown and poweroff of the VM (normally running headless).

This seems to be an issue CentOS on metal as well. They might have a fix though. Get the guest itself working properly with acpi and then it will work with controlvm as well.
