View 2 Replieswhen i open the shell console i get this error message Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices.Now from what i have read i need to change some permissions, but i have no idea how The second problem related to Terminal, no command prompt appears so i cant type anything to run a programme

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo i've been using poweroff command to shutdown my computer at a specific hour.
Is it okay for the hardware to do this (e.g hard drives)? Or should I use other system call?
I have a server Hp proliant DL160 G6 with CentOS 5.4 . When I do shutdown -h now it doesn't poweroff.
I try differents options for acpi in menu.lst file. acpi=force, acpi=noacpi,acpi=off,acpi=ht but there's the same problem.
This the stdout when I do shutdown:
Halting system...
md: stopping all md devices.
Completed flushing cache on controller 0
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:05:00.1 disabled
xenbr0: port 2(peth0) entering disabled state
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:05:00.1 disabled
Power down.
acpi_power_off called
I show you any specific information about my server:
Reboot works fine
difference between halt, shutdown and poweroff
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded the hard drive on my Fujitsu N3530 notebook to WD Scorpio Blue 500 MB, and created a dual-boot configuration with WinXP, installing 32-bit Slackware 13.1 from DVD. Grub 0.97 bootloader is installed on superblock of root partition. Running KDE. Using the generic kernel with appropriate initrd for ext4 filesystem on root partition.
Everything runs fine so far, except the computer won't power off the computer. I've tried using the KDE shutdown, and shutting down from command line - same result. Also same result if I use the huge kernel or the generic kernel.
The last message I see is:
Remounting root filesystem read-only.
/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (ro)
Power down.
... and then the shutdown process stalls and I have to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.
This is the first time I've installed any Linux OS on this notebook. I have Slackware 13.0 running fine on a Thinkpad T61 with no poweroff issue.
From reading various posts, this looks to be related to ACPI. I tried adding "acpi=force" to the kernel line in menu.lst, but it made no difference.
/var/log/messages shows "acpid exiting" and then "exiting on signal 15" as last entries during shutdown.s.
Since the upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze on my Notebook Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 with Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG I have wireless connection problems.The connection breaks time to time and sometimes cannot connect automaticaly after restart. BTW I didn't change anything on the wireless or network configurations on the notebook and on the wiereless router.

Last night there was a rather large thunderstorm, and my computer was on at the time. The power went out while my computer was on, and now it won't boot up. After the GRUB screen, a white message at the bottom of the normal loading screen says somthing along the lines of "a partition listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted /dev/disk/by-uuid/6835blahblahblah". I chose recovery mode from the grub menu, which gave me a similar message.
Quote:
One or more mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: (ESC for recovery shell) /home waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/8bl I've googled around a fair bit, but people who got the same message were mainly those upgrading to Karmic, so a different problem. I think my problem was the fact that my computer was turned off possibly while writing and definitely without being unmounted.
So far I have tried changing /etc/fstab to refer to /etc/sda5 instead of UUID=68blahblah, but that came up with the same error. I have looked inside the /dev/disk/by-uuid and the disk that is trying to be mounted is there (so it's not a problem with that).
I just did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu (10.04 --> 10.10). After the install, any time I do CPU intensive work, my PC is suddenly shutting down like it's overheating.Everything was working fine for months, and started having problems immediately after the reinstall. so this is not a problem with my hardware, and it's not a problem with my fans needing cleaning -- it's a problem with software. So please don't tell me "that sounds like overheating, clean your fans". Something is different in software-land between 10.04 and 10.10 that is causing this to happen -- I assure you that the upgrade did not magically fill my fans with cat hair.
I have checked my log files, and can't find anything related to overheating -- searches for things related to lm_sensors, "temp", and "thermal" are not turning up anything in the system logs (syslog, kern.log, or messages). I also looked at the logs around the times of the sudden shutdown, and couldn't find anything unusual.How can I diagnose this? I'd like to file a bug report, but since I can't find anything in the logs, I honestly have no idea how to go about providing useful information.Is there anything besides overheating that might be causing my laptop to suddenly shut off?
I have a strange problem on my new installation of Debian "Stretch".
After "loading initial ramdisk" the pc freeze, but if I reboot it, then it doesn't freeze and so I could work.
So for work each time I have to boot and reboot the pc; the second time the pc works.
Built new system and installed openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 with Gnome desktop about 6 weeks ago. Have never been able to get the system to shutdown or fully poweroff using the installed OS. If I use the Knoppix live CD - no problem. System boots up fine and shuts down and powers off correctly. With the installed OS, it originally crashed on shutdown and had to power off using the power button. After trying many things, the OS shuts down, powers off the fans etc, but the keyboard is still lit. I cannot restart the system without turning off power at the power supply. Starting my computer by turning off the power supply switch, waiting
10-12 seconds, turning on the power supply switch and then hitting the power button gets to be very annoying after a few weeks.
Installed KDE and switched to that to see what difference it might make. System does not shutdown, but reboots instead. Switched back to Gnome. Have tried sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now and poweroff. Identical behaviour. System is completely up-to-date. BIOS, kernel, video drivers.
Due to some reason not known to me at this moment, my regular shutdown doesn't work. It freezes on disabling the swap file and doesn't do anything. Now, until that problem is solved, I need a way to properly shutdown. I found one, which is poweroff -f, but it is hardly graceful, and would amount to 'flipping the switch' I guess. The other is hibernate, which is what I now use. This does work, but I rather completely shut down the system. For one, regular boot is quicker than resuming from hibernate.
My main question is: is there any way to make the poweroff -f command, e.g. combined with manually disabling the swap file or whatever,"safe?" as in, I can imagine a sudden power off meaning more chance of damage to the HD, which I don't want.
recently I'va bought PCI adapter for extending ATA devices [URL], connected disk (WDC WD1600JB-00REA0, ATA DISK drive). Everything is fine except switching off. Sometimes it freezes, sometimes it takes longer time (more than 30 sec). Everything goes well - except the last step (when appears "Rebooting", or "Switching off" on console). I didn't add any extra boot option into /boot/grub/menu.lst

I'm using pm-hibernate, and would like to reboot the machine after it's done hibernating, rather than having the machine turn off.Is there a way to do this with pm-hibernate, or any other Linux hibernate thing?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Ubuntu since 8.04 and I'm getting tired of it. Every time I update to the latest version, even if I wait awhile, something always breaks. I want an OS that I can update without having to worry about something breaking and I hear that Debian is great for that. I'll be installing it in a few hours when I get back from Iron Man 2. I just created this thread because I know I'm going to have questions. Don't worry, I'll try to solve any problems I come across myself before asking here. I'll be installing Debian Stable because I figure that'll be good enough for me.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI guess this might sound strange, but, I want to be asked all the time for either my user password or root password. I have searched high and low and all I can find is people wanting to disable asking for password. My guess is a majority of those users are ex-Windows users.

Just to note, I notice it only when I hibernate my system.

There used to be a time out period, 15 minutes I think, and now when I am chrooting 6 or 7 systems I need to give a password for every one of them. This gets old. I am sure there is a way to do this. Sudo visudo does not do it. It will Work until I reboot. When I run it again, the setting is the sames as I set it the last session. I need to redo it, exit and then put it back to where I want it again. I figure I am doing it in the wrong place but can't figure it out and it is really getting on my thungas.
