1st, you should be able to do a power button configuration that will do a graceful shutdown. If necessary there is also the command line option (depends on user) ctrl-alt-t (should bring up a terminal) shutdown -h now (will do a graceful shutdown) make sure the user has permission to do shutdown functions or set up sudo and execute sudo shutdown -h now the latter is an easy teach to the user for this purpose and may be the path to least resistance. -- Fred On Sun, Aug 12, 2018 at 1:21 PM Frank Cox <theatre at sasktel.net> wrote: > I have set up a computer that's going to be hand-carried through several > airports on the way to its final destination. > > This is the Lenovo laptop that I asked about earlier, where everything > works well except for the touchpad that isn't recognized at all.
