I am using Squeeze and now out of the blue I can't shut down. I have the default 64 bit version installed with no wild and crazy tweaks. I can shut down by going into the root terminal and enteringshutdown -h nowI also checked to make sure that I am still in the powerdev group and I am so I don't know what could be wrong.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently updated my GNOME installation from 3.x to 3.14. Suddenly, there are many glitches. The power buttons on the power menu does nothing, I am forced to shut down via the terminal, everything goes black every now and again, and there is a weird colour pattern behind some icons when I hover over them. But most importantly, the icons and text do not show up on the "Activities -> Show Applications -> All" menu. They still there, as you can see the opening animation before they disappear, and I can click on them, but you just can't see them. The "Frequent" menu works fine. Here is a YouTube video I have made to explain my problem.

I did change the icons, but this was after these problems started happening, and so it should be un-related.
At the log in screen it said something like: The Gnome power manager settings have not been correctly installed. This prevented me from going beyond the log in screen, it just dropped back to it after I put in my password. I was able to log in by running Code:sudo apt-get remove gnome-power-managerToday upon starting this message is not there but after putting my password in it goes back to the log in screen. Also it's "old-school" theme (pure gnome) not ubuntu-style

The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:

I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn recent versions of Ubuntu, it is possible to click on the top right corner to choose to shut, down, log out, etc as opposed to having buttons that need to be clicked on followed by other buttons. Ubuntu's current utility works by clicking on the top right corner which shows a list without opening a new mini-window or anything allowing me to select however it is that I want to change the state of my computer if it wasn't obvious as to what I am referring to.

chkrootkit, rkhunter, and clamav have all been run within the last 24 hours (clean). Firestarter is the firewall.
I left the box with about 10 apps running over all 4 virtual desktops (KDE). Came back in a couple of hours to find all apps closed except Gkrellm. Boinc, which had been dormant for lack of work, had gotten some jobs and was running in background. All apps reopened normally except Iceweasel did show the "closed unexpectedly" notification. I don't use a screensaver.
System did not shutdown and auto reboot. Uptime clock and syslog had chugged along right through it. Syslog seemed normal except for the exerpts below that looked curious to me.
I'd tried to run HDD bench mark at my Debian Stable called iozone3. It performed I/O actions which took too long. Ctrl+C to terminate process. Everything went as always. It just terminated. Upon completion of program I used laptop for some more time. During shutting down X-Desktop shut down normally. Terminal window was showing command line with lines <Stopping this and that daemon...> but instead of normal black colour background with white text it changed into red background with white text. What does it mean? Is it safe to restart laptop?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI could be wrong, but I swear that when I first considered switching to Linux a few years back the gnome windows manager's main menu had an option to exit said windows manager. There is obviously no such option now. Looking at some other forums, it seems that you can START gnome properly... but to exit the windows manager you have to kill processes? If I want to close down the Gnome WM without rebooting the computer - say, to just try TWM alone, or some other WM - there must be a 'legal' way to do it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a flash drive that I regularly use on my laptop. If I unplug the flash drive without first unmounting it, I get a popup notification of a kernel failure (with diagnostics sent to kerneloops.org). Then, if I attempt to shut down the system via the console, it hangs on "The system is going down for halt/reboot NOW!" and doesn't actually shut down. Using Gnome's graphical System > Shut Down feature just logs me out and sends me to the login screen; the shutdown feature from there does nothing. I have to disconnect the power cord on the laptop in order to shut it down, and I don't like doing this.

I have a Dell Latitude D610, installed Ubuntu 9.10 with wubi and Win XP professional. I had only one problem booting which was fixed immediately by meierfra, but now the Ubuntu won't shut down. The final message is "ubuntu 9.10 login", then the screen freezes.Oddly when I restart from Ubuntu it shuts down enough to reboot into either Windows or back into Ubuntu. To shut down from Ubuntu I'm now holding down the start switch until the machine stops. effective but inelegant.

Gnome is my preferred desktop but would also like to use KDE. My question is:
If I install both Gnome and KDE on the same system, when using Gnome I suppose I'd get all the KDE stuff and vice versa making for an overcrowded desktop. Is it possible to have both environments on the same system without this happening?
Put another way, if a computer has two users and one uses KDE and the other Gnome, is there no way to separate the two environments?
When I try to run GNOME, X gives me "Failed to start the X-server" etc and something about "not detecting screens." and if I try to run KDE it just hangs with the _ blinking waiting for the next command. I only tried out KDE to see if it was a GNOME problem. I uncommented the stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (because I had them previously commented out) but that doesn't help. I'm stuck with a GUI-less computer now . What can I do about this? If more information is needed, do not hesitate to ask.

I'm currently reading a couple of books to try and learn how to use CLIs with Linux but I am still new and largely ignorant of how to do anything. I tried messing with Arch, that didn't work very well. I've been googling these issues but I can't figure anything out or find anything relevant. I've been using Ubuntu for a couple of years and have a basic understanding of Linux and I'm working on a basic understanding of computers.
As far as getting a .deb package onto a usb of Gnome or whatever desktop environment goes I think I can manage that by myself. I just have no clue how to actually install something from a USB, especially from a command line interface.
Currently I am using Debian 5 which has Gnome as default. I have come to know that Squeeze uses KDE as default.
My question is is there way that I can get Debian squeeze with gnome out of the box .
it was difficult for me to get it set up. So, when Squeeze became the stable release, I strayed. Tried Ubuntu, Mandriva, PCLOS, Mepis, both KDE and Gnome, and after using Lenny for several months, they all sucked. So I'm back, and although it took me several hours, over a few days, and 50 searches, I have Squeeze set up just how I want. I love how fast and stable it is!!
I've become a big fan of Gnome over the past year, because of how simple, fast and stable it is. But, there are a few KDE apps I prefer over the ones available for Gnome. I want to install K3b, KTorrent, digiKam/showFoto, and probably Amarok (although I haven't given Rythembox a fair chance). I realize this will install the KDE base, but other than the space taken up, is there any disadvantage to doing this? If there's a chance it will affect the speed and stability of the system, I'll learn to live without them.
Is there a way to extract the MD5 SUM from a .iso I download in Gnome?? K3b does it automatically before the burn. Does Brasero do this and I'm just missing it?
I've tried using Transmission a few times before to download torrents, but never with success, yet with KTorrent, I just click on the file and it starts downloading it.
I installed debian testing (wheezy) in virtualbox as I plan on installing it on a laptop. I thought it would come with gnome 3 but that appear to not be the case. [url] Is unstable running gnome 3? Is there a way to run gnome 3 with testing or would that be a bad way to go about it?
