OK. I give up. After watching videos and reading reams of documentation, I'm not able to get Sculpt to shutdown. I can get it to reset - via:
vim config/managed/system <system state="reset"/>
which takes effect as soon as I write the file
but the corollary: <system state="poweroff"/>
doesn't appear to have any effect in either virtual box or the t430.
What I've been doing in the meantime, is the reset and then powering off during the reboot.
help.

Try running acpica (from genodelabs repo IIRC). That handles stuff like shutting down the system.

(my first reply got rejected, with its contents lost in the ether -- seems it was the mail-daemon on my side,
not the mailinglist daemon though, complaining about "line length 998 exceeded",
anyway here it is again, typed from memory, and with short line lengths)
The below works on my T430
It only works thanks to acpica though, there are other components that monitor for "state=..." changes
(platform_drv and ps2_drv if memory serve) but they only handle reset, they do not handle poweroff.
Go to leitzentrale, check that acpica is listed ; if not, find the download in one of the depots, as noted by HN yesterday
Once it runs, check the Log for error messages at the time you set power-off.
I'm running a (customized) Genode 22.08, so it's also possible there was a regression
between then and now, with Sculpt 22.10, explaining why it works for me but not for you. If so, you'll want to file a ticket.

<system state="poweroff"/>
Wow! Thanks N III and Cedric. That really really worked. It was in the alex-ab repo. It seemed like a rather immediate poweroff though - like I threw the light switch. Of course, that prolly explains this gem:
<!-- Note: power down your persistent Gendo applications & VMs beforehand on your own ! -->
So, if I'm tracking it means that if I run stuff on disk and want to shut down, I have to kill everything running on a persistent medium plus any VMs before sending the reset or poweroff signals? Off to do more studying - how does one get the environment to reestablish, something Norman said is ringing a bell...
Later,
Will

Hi Will,
So, if I'm tracking it means that if I run stuff on disk and want to shut down, I have to kill everything running on a persistent medium plus any VMs before sending the reset or poweroff signals? Off to do more studying - how does one get the environment to reestablish, something Norman said is ringing a bell...
you are right. This topic was raised on the mailing list before [1].

Admittedly, this rather rough solution still applies today.
Cheers Norman

Clear as a bell. It's on the roadmap, in the meantime shut stuff down, wait at least 10 seconds, then send the signal to poweroff. Perfect, thanks.
