In the Vagrant build VM, there is no `systemd-logind` installed. As for
`acpid`, it's installed, but it's not running.
$ sudo systemctl status acpid
. acpid.service - ACPI event daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/acpid.service; disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Notice the 'disabled' here.
So I enabled and started acpid.
$ sudo systemctl enable acpid
$ sudo systemctl status acpid
Now the VM responds to `virsh shutdown` !
Do you guys think it's something that was forgotten in the base box ?
Should it be added to the provision script (yep it's a bit ugly), or we
just keep on living without it ?
Cheers !
Arnaud.
