i'm using Debian Lenny 32-bit on my CQ40-115AU. It is always reboot whenever it got too hot. Is there a way to remedy this? I could not find any BIOS setting to disable this.
View 3 RepliesI have an old PIII laptop I wanted to tinker with. I tried ubuntu, xubuntu and netbook remix and get basically the same issue - after the install I get a prompt for login and then a user@laptopname:~$
How to fix this or is the laptop too old?
I have installed gpointing-device-settings. It does exactly what I want it to do, disable the touchpad, until I reboot (not sure about logging out/in) and the touchpad is again enabled. So the vicious circle continues and I disable it for the session. Back in the days of xorg.conf it was easy enough to disable but of course that file, and the option to disable from within that file no longer exists for me. When I use Debian I can modprobe -r psmouse. That was a perfect solution as the touchpad was never heard from again with regard to that distribution. Attempting to remove that module under Fedora 15 results in the following.
Code: [glenn@f15beta ~>$ sudo modprobe -r psmouse FATAL: Module psmouse is builtin Is this something that I can change? I assume that built-in means that it's built in to the kernel? How about this angle. When I use gpointing-device-settings to toggle the touchpad on/off there must be one or more files that are altered. How easy would it be to find out exactly what files are altered and could I possibly set the immutable flag on this file so that it never gets toggled back to enabled again? There is a function key on this laptop, F9, that looks like it toggles the touchpad but it doesn't work under Fedora 15. Never tried it in any other releases.
Yesterday I used gparted to shrink win xp partition and to expand opensuse. When I try to reboot my laptop it doesn't boot anything, and it doesn't dislay on the screen anything like missing grub, grub rescue. I have opensuse 11.1 gnome on acer 5920g
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have laptop ASUS X51RL with Intel pentium dual core inside processor. As mentioned here:I tried to install i386 FC12 on it. When the instalation was completed, there was a message to reboot. So did I, and while the BIOS was still loading, of course, removed the DVD in order not to repeat the instalation. Fedora started loading with the three varioants of the blue color bars and suddenly on the screenappeared a long message finishing with the words: "kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt " and that was all - the system stopped untillo there and never loaded For the last 2 days this is about my 12th attempt to get linux. Before I had tried about over 6 times with ubuntu, finishing the same way after the first reboot, 1 time knoppix and 2 times Debian. Only debian succeeded to load succesfully after its instaltion was complete, but I didnt linke it and a friend of mine strongly recommended me FC12. So what am I supposed to do??? I guarentee, my hard disc is not corruted as I read 1 hundred times on google, I had benn running windows 7 before I started trying to get linux and everything was OK... the install DVD is also OK, I tested it in the same beginning of the instalation and the test was successfull.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed OpenSuse 11.2 3 months ago on my laptop. I'm running with the Gnome Desktop. I live in Chicago and am currently in London. When I set the timezone to Europe/UK the date/time are correct UNTIL I reboot the laptop. After reboot if I type in the 'date' command it shows the time at 6+ hours from London time. When I check the hardware clock 'hwclock' it displays the correct London time. I check the time setup with yast and it shows the correct Timezone but again shows the 6+ hours difference. I change the time in yast and and my applications ( e-mail) display the correct local time again... UNTIL I reboot and then I'm right back where I started - wrong local time ! I suppose I could write a little startup script to do a 'hwclock --hctosys' but I thought I'd check here first to see if anyone out there had any ideas..BTW - I hate to say this but on the same laptop running XP I don't have this problem AND I didn't see this problem in OpenSuse 10.3 or 11.1

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically transfer files between one machine to another upon Debian starting (or when a script is executed). Would it be also possible to check a database for a value and if the value exists then files can be transferred automatically (just like reboot).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question: I'd like to install Debian next to Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. I've been searching on the web but I can't figure out what to download and what to install. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 1355LC that runs on an AMD Athlon XP processor. Also when I install Debian, will it recognise my Linksys WUSB 54 wireless device? (I've read somewhere that it could be that WLAN connections aren't supported with the net instal Cd) I know there's a lot that I'm asking, but I really want to learn more about Debian.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed Debian 7.8.0 amd64 gnome on my new ASRock Q2900 mobo/cpu combo (It has an embedded Intel J2900)
The system boots fine but I am unable to restart it. If I tell the system to restart I see the mobo splash screen but before I see any mention of grub it gets stuck with a flashing cursor in the top left.
At this point I can hold the power button for 5 seconds and after it shuts down, I can boot it no problem. I can work my way around this issue but there shouldn't be any reason to need to.
Computer hangs and sometimes won't reboot.
When it hangs I have seen this message a few times:
o[4348] EXT3-fs error (device sda1) ext3_get_imode_loc : unable to read inode block_inode = 14720620 block = 58753255
Also when the machine boots up I get a message saying something about IOMMU should be set in BIOS, but I can not find any such setting in BIOS. I do not know if this is related to the hanging.
I thought I had a hard drive problem at first so I tried a different hard drive. Same problem.
The mother board is an ASRock N68C-S.
One other thing, where is the file located that boot up messages are written to?
We have an external raid box connected to a debian squeeze server.Every new volume set I have created will be detected (as /dev/sdx) after a reboot. As this is our file-server I cannot reboot the server every-time a new volume set is created.Is there a way to make this new device visible.I tried already 'partprobe' and restarting udev didn't work eather.What is a good way to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am facing the issue that the PC not capable to shutdown or reboot; In order to debug that, htop tells me the running processes but all seems normal, I killed few but still cold reset is needed.There is certainly a problem somewhere. the best would be to know which process are weirdly hanging. It could make this testing debian bit better to know which package has these issues.

View 1 Replies View RelatedA 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 have been using this fresh Debian 8.2 install for 3 days without any network problems.
What I did this morning :
- Booted in my windows partition and rebooted immediately just to remove the system from the sleep state
- Mounted a NTFS hard drive and copied some file to my .wine drive_c
Thats when I noticed that my connection was down.
I verified all the physical layer. My laptop has access to the internet tried to connect on an another router with eht0, changed the wire, nothing worked.
It seems like the interface can't get a dhcp ipv4 address even when I try to force is with dhclient, I get no offer when my laptop works just fine.
- Booted on my windows partition without changing any connection and my internet was working.
- Booted back on debian still not working...
When I start the laptop, booting squeeze, after the screen printed"waiting for /dev to be fully populated... conflict with acpi region smbi..." (and maybe some other msg followed) the laptop will suddenly power off and automatic restart, after several times restart, I may have good luck to log into the squeeze KDE interface. The problem also occur when I choose booting in recovery mode How can I fix this annoying problem, or where can I check the fail booting log before the restart log overwrite it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedInitially, Debian detected my M-Audio soundcard right off, and things were going great, until I tried to get a Logitech webcam working. Got video going, but no audio, so I installed cheese, alsa-base and alsa-utils, and played around with settings according to copious forum threads dedicated to the problem of Linux and webcams, all to no avail. Then I had NO SOUND, until I did a alsa-conf, which detected and (re)set my M-Audio card, until reboot, then again, NO SOUND. Settings were not saving through reboot.
So I purge removed alsa-base and alsa-utils, hoping that things would magically revert to pre-webcam experiment. Still no sound. I have given up on the webcam idea; I'll use my XP Pro laptop for that. But I need sound on this Linux box. Oh and when I'm playing ....., etc. the soundcard itself is making chatter noises to the beat of the music. This soundcard was working perfectly before I started the webcam debacle, so it's not a hardware issue.
I installed jessie. every time reboot jessie i have no sound and i must run "alsactl init", after run command all things work great.
