Virtualbox - Send Shutdown Signal Not Working

Problem

If you are runnning virtualbox and you notice that sending the shutdown signal does nothing, then you probably haven't installed the acpid package.

This is the same for KVM guests that wont respond to commands such as
virsh shutdown

Solution

CentOS

yum install acpid -y

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install acpid -y
You will need to reboot before it will "fix" the issue.
