Debian Installation :: Notebook Monitor Shuts Of After Installing?
Mar 9, 2011
The machine I'm running is a Sony Vaio VPCCW290X notebookIntel Core i5 processorNvidia GeForce 310M video cardI am planning on making Debian my main OS but I am experimenting with installing it on a usb drive first. I am new to linux so this has been a learning experience so far. I finally got the grub installed correctly for the external hard drive to boot up into Debian. I installed the minimal network install so I should just be going to a console prompt. After booting it it goes for a short time and then the screen shuts off, not just black. I tried ctrl-alt-f1/f2 which didn't do anything. I am able to reboot by ctrl-alt-del though. If I try to boot into the second option it goes further before shutting off. Using a live cd it does the same thing unless I choose the fail-safe option. When I choose that it boots up correctly. If I hook up an external monitor it will switch over to it when the screen shuts off, so I know it's not the video card

I installed openSUSE 11.4 on my notebook (Packard-Bell EasyNote LJ61) and started the system. I logged in and KDE appears. After some minutes, I started firefox and thunderbird and the computer shuts down. After resarting, I installed the fglrx driver.
After restarting again, I let the desktop stay, and let him from 16:30 oclok to 18:00. He stayed so. Then I started firefox and thunderbird and the system shuts down again....
Here my specs:
Packard Bell EasyNote LJ61
AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
openSUSE 11.4 (i586) KDE 4.6.00 release 6

About two months ago my Ubuntu desktop computer (running Ubuntu 10.04) started giving me trouble. The monitor would occasionally shut off after booting up and logging in and using it for a few minutes. Then this started happening every single time I booted up the machine, making it effectively useless. I decided to try a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, and, luckily for whatever reason I was able to get the monitor to *not* shut off long enough to get this new installation to actually install. But now, after installing 10.10 the computer is doing the same thing, shutting the monitor off after boot up and/or login. Sometimes I can get to the login screen, sometimes I can even actually log in, but even after I log in, the monitor shuts off after a few minutes. I can access the BIOS just fine, of course, and I can get to the GRUB menu just fine by pressing ESC on boot up, but I cannot even get the root access on recovery mode to work for more than a few seconds before the monitor just shuts off - usually it shuts off right before I can even arrow down to select root access from the menu when I boot to recovery mode. In terms of hardware, I tried installing a new power supply, but that hasn't worked.
I also tried changing the GRUB command for the boot, where you go to the GRUB editor and add nomodeset, i915.modeset=1, i915.modeset=0 or xforcevesa after splash quiet, but that also doesn't work. The video/graphics card is just the built-in Intel video (PCI-E or something like that, part of the motherboard basically). It's an MSI motherbaord from a couple of years ago, American Megatrends, but the BIOS appears up-to-date. Anyway, I've tried everything and I am just about to give up. Ubuntu had been working fine for me for a couple of years on this machine, with no hardware changes, right up until that first week of November, 2010. Could there have been some automatic software update that ruined my machine? The OS is Ubuntu 10.10, and the Linux kernel is 2.6.35-22-generic. Also, if it matters, this same machine has had that hda-spurious response warning thing that appears on boot sometimes because of the Intel built-in audio configuration. That's been happening since a few versions of Ubuntu ago, so I don't know if it is related.

I have a NVIDIA Geforce 6150 LE video card and it is on the motherboard. I vaguely remember something on some site about nvidia cards, but can't remember what. It gets to the part where it says something like "Boot Ubuntu from the CD." I hit enter and it shuts my monitor off.

I just install Ubuntu 10.10 and downloaded the Smartboard install. After I click the program to install it starts thinking then asks for my password. I enter my password it takes it then stops thinking. All other functions work just fine apart from the install. It hasn't started yet. I have a feeling that it would install just fine if I could take of the whole asking for the password nonsense. is there a way to do that.

So, recently I tried getting Ubuntu on my desktop. First, I got the CD, inserted it, and it seemed to boot fine to this orange screen, with a texture, and at the bottom what seemed to be a video roll and a man with his arms open. Right after that my system's monitor seemed to shut down, completely, and I was unable to turn it back on. I restarted my computer and went through the same process until I took out the CD. So then I tried installing it into Windows, but that didn't work either. It had the Ubuntu boot option, and I selected it where I was shown The installation is completing
5-4-3-2-1-0
With a counter, and when it went to 0 my screen shut down and my computer went into a weird half-off state.

I know that this is a know issue with nvidia cards and that is (of course) what I have. I have tried many of the fixes that I found on these forums. Some of them seemed to work but the problem has still remained (maybe its because i'm still too new)
I have been tempted to go back to windows but I cannot let this problem drive me away from ubuntu

I have downloaded the latest version of Debian for PPC to run on my iMac G3 600MHz 1GB ram. The problem is, is when it is partitioning the HD the computer just shuts down and restarts from the beginning. I don't understand this. I chose it to erase and use the entire disk. The HD is 80GB. I really want to install this OS!

I got installed debian 6.0.1a en my compaq presario 1255 (amd-k6 with 160 Mb and 4.3 Gig), but I had to use expert install to be able to select lilo instead of grub2. I ended with a very basic system (it only uses 8Mb in console mode, and 28 Mb in fluxbox plus an xterm). It is still a very usable machine.
Previousy, I was able to install lenny 5.0.8 just with normal console mode install
I think that with lenny, the fan of the notebook (I mean the "external" one, I do not know if there is another in the micro) some times was on. but i do not think it works at any moment now with wheezy
I have been googling a couple of hours, but I am not getting a clear idea about fan and notebooks.
What have I to check? is it a module? something related to acpi?

I'm running a fresh 10.04 x86-64 on a thinkpad w500, using the default video driver. The monitor shuts off randomly, sometimes while I'm using it and requires me to trigger sleep mode and waking up to bring back the screen. When it shuts off, everything else seems to be running. (i.e. its not going to sleep) I've turned off screensaver, sleep, hibernation and installed the Caffeine util to no avail.

I got fedora 12 like 2 weeks ago. I am newb in using linux. I got enough of the problems windows 7 has and thought to change on something good and free . It seems OK but i want to try play some online games on fedora. Seemed it did not have video card drivers installed and tried to install them. Once i installed some kind of video drivers using a yum command i found on web. But i think something was wrong because when i tried the first game installed with wine it worked as if i didn't have video card . Even yahoo messenger works very bad as if i won't have video drivers. I remember at the middle of that installation it shown kind of error like it did not find something.i don't remember exactly what it shown because immediately after that it continued to install video card drivers. But after i tried that game it still seemed something wrong happened. So....how can i see what video drivers i have installed ? Do i need to uninstall them before trying again? I got a CD with drivers when i got my notebook do you think those will work if i install them using wine ?

Since when I installed Squeeze I'm having this problem. You know how disturbing it is. I don't know if this is related in any way, but when I play music or watch video and do other things at the same time it looks like this happens more.

I have minidlna installed and half the time I go to use it, the service has stopped and I have to manually restart it with "service minidlna restart". I haven't restarted the server to cause this. There is nothing in the log file in /var/log/minidlna.log
After watching a video, it stopped. If I don't look at it for a few days, it stops.

I've been running Debian 8 jessie at the screen's native resolution (1280x800) via the following hack: [URL]
What's bugging me is that at random intervals, my screen shuts off while the laptop is still running, forcing me to hard reset.

My notebook seems to just freeze once in a while sometimes once a week, sometimes once in two weeks, sometimes once in two consecutive days. I cannot for the love of it narrow it down to anything. Granted, I have not followed the logs, but doing so for the first time gave no real results either.

I've only recently switched to Ubuntu and overall I'm loving it. When i first installed it shut down perfectly from the GUI. After updating from the Update Manager, I've had problems. Now it shuts down but my PC doesn't power down.
I can manually make it shut and power down from the terminal with the command:
sudo shutdown -h -P now
or:
sudo poweroff
The fact that it works from the Terminal but not from the GUI suggests there might be a coding problem with the GUI but discovering and fixing that is way beyond my capabilties.

Trying to install Natty 11.04 via PXE. The ethernet is a Realtek RTL8168d/8111d gigabit. It DHCPs and configures just fine. Then it downloads what it needs for partitioning and does that. After partitioning, it runs net/hw-detect.hotplug which discovers the interface as new, then strips it of any configuration so it can not proceed further. Is there any way to disable this secondary hotplug detection of the ethernet interface?

Hardware: Notebook
OS: Debian 6.0.1, installed very recently
goal: access vista windows shares in my home network
What would keep changing the domain to "lan" in network settings on my Debian notebook? I've tried launching network-admin from a root terminal, made changes, but after rebooting it reverts back to "lan". Perhaps it's irrelevant, but maybe it's the reason I can't see any other PCs when I try to browse the network.
Installed samba, but that seems more for setting up a share, than trying to access existing shares. At any rate, it did not solve anything.
Weird though, because immediately after I installed Debian, I was able to browse the network successfully. I've only installed zsnes and debian updates since then. I also installed the Broadcom firmware/driver needed for wireless today, but my network browsing problem existed prior to that.

I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 version on desktop. I created the usb boot disk using usb-creator, and booted using that usb drive. About 5 seconds after booting from the usb drive, my LCD monitor shows "No Signal", and stayed blank afterwards. I had to push the "reset" button to reboot. It's definitely not the problem of my usb drive, because I had successfully used it in my laptop. I believe this is a bug of the Ubuntu 10.04 installer, which somehow doesn't get along with my desktop hardware.

My last Linux install was SUSE 6 on an early ISA based Pentium clone. I'm used to Unix / bash from OS X, MinGW, QNX & BeOS... none of these rely heavily on X. But I'm thinking that Linux is so popular, I'm doing a lot of my Windows stuff under MinGW, why not just stick Linux on and be done with it.So I've polled the various distros, I'm a power-user / dev so Ubuntu doesn't seem like me, and I'm not familiar enough with Linux to go Gentoo just yet, but the way I slim Windows and OS X installs down to just what I need. I love apt-get and like FreeBSD installs I've seen, but want some Linux kernel goodness for my self, so I have chosen Debian.
I grabbed the amd64 build of lenny DVD 1, partitioned up and installed a bare system that I can apt-get the bits I want later.Here's the problem... When the install completes rebooting sends the graphical login to a frequency my old Hanns-G TFT can't handle.I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 back to the terminal or boot in single user mode, and everything seems to be good until you go GUI.Here's what I've tried.
I've renamed /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.oldI ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorgI've reinstalled using both simple GUI and Expert GUI using both kernelsI've tried adding nvidia-* packages with apt-get and aptitudeI remember there used to be a frequency tuner app for SUSE 6 and XFree86, but it seems that sort of thing is depreciated in modern Linux.Info? My GFX card is an nvidia GT 220, the motherboard is an ASUS P5QL Pro, the Monitor (Hanns-G) is attached via RGB HD-15 D-Sub (sadly that's all I have access to right now) and it's native resolution is 1280x1024 4:3 @ 60Hz, but in heXPee it will sync at that resolution at 60, 70, 72 or 75Hz, though it does get fuzzy at 75Hz.I'm fairly certain that X is working, just not at a frequency my screen can display... how can I fix this from single user, or regular bash terminal?
---edit--- Forgot to mention I ran dpkg-reconfigure on the XServer. :s It didn't offer video drivers, only to change from gb 105 keyboard layout and ps/2 mouse. I set the META key to the logo key while I was there, but it wasn't really helpful in any other way.

I can't get debian 5.0.4 i386 to load I can get as far as root for crash repair during boot-up but much further than that and my monitor turns off. Ubuntu 8.04.4 live cd (kernel is 2.6.24 i believe) works but says I have to enter noapic in the boot string. APIC is on and greyed out i.e. not accessible in BIOS --- might be non-compliant Only thing I can think of is to add acpi=off in GRUB entry but the change doesn't seem to work or take effect. I added it to the relevant entries in menu.lst in grub and it still didn't take effect. Grub must be getting its config info somewhere else...

The top row of keys on my notebook are currently assigned to various media functions (brightness, volume, play, stop, etc.) These keys are rarely used, and it would be better if they were assigned to the function keys (f1,f2,f3,...) by default, rather then using the fn key to access them. Locking the fn key down is not an option. What can I do?

I have a RT8187B wireless card in my notebook. When I turn ON my wifi and connect in a TP-Link router, after -+ 30 min, the notebook power off. It's not like shutdown. It's like the power (battery and power adapter) was removed: everything stops working immediately and erases (like a blackout when we don't have a battery). When I'm using my ethernet all things works pretty good.
