A short while ago and for no apparent reason, my system rebooted. I was doing a lot of things at one time scanning, Photoshop in Wine, Open Office, ftping etc. I can't remember ever having this happen. When I logged in again, the window manager wasn't working quite right. That made me think Compiz might be the culprit. Logging out and in again set things right.
I started looking in log files to see what happened but was quickly overwhelmed. Are there any likely key words I could search for to track down the cause? And in which files?
I just upgraded from FC8 (32-bit) to FC11 (64-bit). In doing so, I backed up my entire World of Warcraft folder so I could try to avoid having to download and install it all over again. However, I've now reinstalled wine (64-bit now), and the nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repos (also 64-bit), and when I try to start WoW, it says it cannot load OpenGL. I'm wondering if anyone knows what's up, and if there's a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling WoW.
on my laptop, I have configured my power button to hibernate the system. It works, but once a while the system, after booting and while almost being where Gnome desktop appears, reboots itself from scratch.
Configuration:
- EeePC 1000HE - Debian Squeeze up-to-date - Hard-disk encryption via LVM installed while installing the system
I have a tightvnc server running on my computer and have my IPAD using a vnc client to connect to it. Everything works fine except for apps that require openGL (eg: minetest,steam). I was wondering how I could use said apps over vnc.
I am running Debian on my eeepc, and whenever I move the display while my computer is on, it often restarts. It turns off at a specific place on the hinge.
I've been running 5.05. Just in the last few weeks after I update the screen will go black after a few reboots. I believe it has something to do with the ATI Drivers. If I clean install and install the smxi drivers after a few reboots the screen goes black right before the log in screen. This also happens with Mepis and Dream Linux which are Debian Base.
I have Debian Squeeze 6.0.1 on my laptop (2.6.32-5-amd64 Kernel). Laptop is Dell Latitude E6410.
Problem: My network connection (wired eth0) is not stable/persistent. If it is working in present session then after reboot it goes off.
Now to make it work, if i change the "/etc/network/interfaces" and then reboot again, it starts working. I mean i have two /etc/network/interfaces files which look like:
First one is:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
[Code]....
So, if network doesnt work after a reboot, i simply switch the interface file (i.e if am using 1st interface file then i change it to 2nd one) and then reboot. and then network starts working....its so odd....so actually both interface files happen to make network work but i have to reboot and switch between them everytime. Kind of annoying.

I'm trying to install Debian 8.1 LXDE 64bit on a Toshiba Chromebook cb30 from usb. When I select 'install' the laptop restarts and gets me back to the installer menu. I removed 'quiet' from the boot options and it seems that the reboot happens after initrd.gz is read. I previously installed the 32bit version on the chromebook and the installation process worked pretty much without any issues. I might have added 'mem=1024m' to the boot options, though even if I did, this doesn't do anything to my current attempt.
The chromebook processor according to `uname -a` is x86_64 Intel Celeron 2955U. how I could install the image or start debugging the issue?
I checked the md5sum of the iso image, and the integrity of the DVD passes, but when I run the kfreebsd-amd64 DVD I get to the partitioner stage, set out my partitions, click 'yes' to format and then my computer reboots. Is this a known error or a bad burn?
I just converted a movie from mp4 to avi format and was away from the computer during the conversion. When I came back, the file had been properly converted but the computer was at the login prompt. I assume that it rebooted when the conversion was complete. Is this normal behavior? I don't see any avconv 'switches' to prevent that from happening.
I have some serious input lag (using gamepad through USB) when using mednafen together with opengl. I am using a ATI HD3000, (built in to motherboard) and debian jessie together with FOSS drivers. If I use overlay instead, the input lag is acceptable, but not as good as it could be. I've tried all the things in the [URL]... mednafen documentation[/url] like turning off vsync, filters and whatnot but it doesn't really make any difference. There is also something about turning off "flip queue size" and Triple buffering but I have not found any way to change these settings for the FOSS driver.
I can use the overlay, but I would prefer to lower the input lag even further and use the opengl driver. I understand that there will always be *some* input lag on a HDTV but why is opengl so slow for me?
After the latest update of testing, Debian started to reboot at at startup, after just few messages shown (that's all after GRUB choice is made). If I pick up older kernel it boots OK. What should I look for to determine the cause? (I.e. what log etc.).
I have the HD4850 and, I wanted to know if it is possible to use the CLI to see which version of OpenGL is the latest version I can use according to my driver. If it's not possible via the CLI then, what's the next best way? (I can't find a website for the radeon driver listing the latest OpenGL support per supported card).
After finally figuring out how exactly how to compile something from source, I did it with Wine. However, there's a problem, when I'm trying to play a game on Steam (Half-Life) on a TNT2 graphics card (With NVIDIA drivers 71.86 installed as well as all of the packages needed to compile Wine from source), everything either lags or has an error.
One of these errors is that OpenGL32 isn't being initialized after attempting to start the game in that mode. Another error (or I should say problem) is that in Direct3D mode, it just.. crashes lol. Also, in Software mode, it LAGS horribly and I don't think it has to do with the hardware limitations I have on this machine. I did however install the glx and gl drivers AFTER I compiled Wine, do I have to do yet another install?
I'm running Debian Lenny with GNOME on a ThinkPad T43. Some OpenGL apps like the game Trigger run great, while others like Stellarium crash my system beyond recovery. I get a black screen, I can see the mouse cursor and move it at a very slow speed, but nothing else. I can't switch to a different terminal or restart X with ctrl-alt-bksp.
I assume that the problematic apps do not like the laptop's integrated graphics chip? Is there a way to know ahead of time what apps might be troublesome, before actually running them? I hate hard resets.
When using the very nice opengl screensavers, rss-glx, etc. the screensavers are very choppy.I tried modifying my xorg.conf but still no go.Anyway to get the rss-glx screensavers to run at normal speed?I read online that Intel disable the hardware acceleration.This is a work laptop but I just wanted to see if I could get it going.
I have moved from MS directX to OpenGL on Linux Debian. My computer is running Jessie version with Gimp. I am trying to use several of the gl 4.0 functions but getting compiler error. I check for OpenGL version and appears to be version 1.5 .... How can I verify the correct openGL version and how can I upgrade to a moder version of at least 4.0?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. The problem is that very often, when I move the mouse without clicking any button, a lot of multiple windows (trash, add to panel, or other applications) are suddenly opened.
My Fedora 10 will no longer give screen res above 800x600 (60hz)I routinely change screen res (due to having two different monitors) but I made no hardware changes immediately before the problem began. In other words: the hardware was the same as it had been the day before the problem arose.I assumed a hardware fault, so I tried with XP. Weird: I can set higher resolutions there without problem.Any idea why this happened and how I can fix itBTW, I've been a Linux user for some years, but I would describe my skill level as: 'novice.'
I had some issues with nvidia drivers, and removed all of the packages using
Code: Select allrm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and Code: Select allapt-get purge nvidia*
Upon reboot, I was back with nouveau drivers and proceeded to reinstall nvidia drivers according to [URL] .....
Code: Select allapt-get install nvidia-driver apt-get install nvidia-xconfig I can then change my refresh rate using Code: Select allnvidia-settings but when I hit "Save to X configuration file", I get the following output in terminal: Code: Select allroot@debian:/home/anon# nvidia-settings Package xorg-server was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-server.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xorg-server' found
As a result, my nvidia preferences aren't saved across reboot.

System Specs: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 64-bit Gnome Version 3.14.1 Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz × 8 Graphics: GeForce GTX 780/PCIe/SSE2
However, there are one or two stability issues. In particular, over the last couple of days, I have seen two occasions where my screen suddenly goes blank, and after about 3 seconds I am presented with the login manager. I can then log in, and the desktop works fine again. Of course, everything I was doing is gone... So, where do I look to find what is causing the problem? I'd like to find out and either fix this here or submit a useful bug.
I had something I think if very odd happen to one of my computers at work today, it appears to have spontaneously switched from having a static address set to getting its address by dhcp.this is a small office with a mix of mostly linux servers and desktops with a few stand alone windows computers, mostly notebooks. Most of the desktop computers get their address by dhcp, they all have NIS /NFS for remote mounted home directories (interchangeable desktops so anyone can log in at any desk). The particular desktop computer in question here has a shared printer on its parallel port, so has a static IP. Yesterday a UPS in the server rack died, after pulling it and plugging things back in and restarting the servers, it was easiest just to reboot all the desktops, everything came up ok including the desktop in question, and the printer did work.
Today I pulled the oversized UPS from this desktop to replace the dead one, and put a more appropriately sized one in its place, shut the servers down again, rebooted, etc,About an hour later someone tells me the printer is not working on the desktop, and after a lot of searching I find this desktop has the wrong IP address, I ran system-config-network and it showed the address was set to dhcp, I changed this back to the correct static IP and things seem to be working ok now.
The system has driver for intel, but the opengl version is 2.1. How to update opengl version to 4.1. (intel 945). For ATI just download driver version 11.5 and install it. All is OK.
I have a new system with Asus M3A78-EM mobo, 4 GB RAM, AMD Phenom II quad-core 955 3.2 GHz CPU, on which I've installed the 64-bit version of openSUSE 11.2. It's a lightweight server as well as a desktop machine, and is on 24/7 (and on a UPS). The problem is that the system reboots itself spontaneously, on average a couple of times a day, at seemingly random times. After one of these reboots, an examination of the system log shows nothing at all suspicious logged in the minutes prior to the sudden reboot. Sometimes the system recovers after the reboot, but about half the time the KDE4 desktop comes up with the keyboard and mouse not working. The system log in that case shows that the USB subsystem is wedged, with the message "task khubd:38 blocked for more than 120 seconds", followed by a series of call traces. At that point, I can usually log in via SSH from another local machine and execute a shutdown/reboot, and the system usually recovers fully after that... until the next spontaneous reboot. The only thing unusual about my USB setup is that I have a Hauppauge HVR-1950 TV tuner plugged in, and the pvrusb2 driver installed on the system.
The mobo has an onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphic controller, and I installed the proprietory ATI driver for it in the hopes of improving system stability. It didn't.
Due to the lack of syslog warnings before one of these reboot events, I was inclined to think the hardware was at fault, and my first thought was bad memory. However, fairly extensive testing with memtest86+ showed no errors. Of course, it could be other more obscure hardware problems, but it would be nice to be a little more certain before I resort to replacing the motherboard or the whole system.
Other info... booting in failsafe mode doesn't seem to cure the problem. Setting acpi=off in the boot menu doesn't seem to help either. There are some suspicious things in the boot log, though, such as:
My system does not have ECC memory, so it is indeed properly disabled in my BIOS. Again, I see discussions of this bug(?) on the net, but little indication of whether it is anything serious.
At this point, I'm running out of ideas... I'm still not sure whether the hardware or openSUSE 11.2 are at fault, and I don't want to give up on either prematurely.
I have a 10.10 machine where it has taken to refusing to logout of one specific user account. When I choose logout/restart/whatever from the possible options, it takes me to the main login screen (with the drums) and it shows thet that user is still logged in. The only way, once this occurs, to rid myself of this is to sign in as an administrator and run shutdown -r 00 under sudo. Then it reboots. (Using the admin account to choose restart/shutdown also returns me to the mail login screen where that unpriv'd user is still logged in.) (The machine is fully up to date.)
