I’ve been trying to get an orderly shutdown in Ubuntu. I added a battery as described here: http://www.element14.com/community/community/knode/single-board_computers/next-gen_beaglebone/blog/2013/08/10/bbb--rechargeable-on-board-battery-system#comment-25616 . When I use sudo shutdown -h now , the sys_5V power stays on and the PMIC doesn’t turn on when I add AC power. There was a patch posted to this board previously: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/beagleboard/power$20down$20battery/beagleboard/K7DuusrJ6G4/WqgYqwoH9gkJ that seems ideal. Will this patch work for Ubuntu? If it will work, can you help a n00b install the patch? I’m confused as to how to apply it.
Thanks much,
Arthur
