yes, I run hal, but don't use display manager. Your answer inspired me, and I will check something about hal immediately. Thanks! On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 02:20:17PM +0200, Thomas B�chler wrote:

hi all,
I am a newbie for ArchLinux.
My computer often shuts down suddenly when I browse web site. It brings me to TTY and said "The system is going down for system halt NOW!". I found that is because of the crash of flash plugin of firefox.
And my question is why the crash of firefox can cause my computer shuts down?
PS. my system environment: Arch + awesome, no DE. Thanks!
Frankly, I can't make any connection between firefox and shutting down. Shutting down the computer would mean a severe privilege violation. Are you running hal, or using any display manager? They are the only ones that may allow you to shut down unless you are root.
