I have installed Fedora 12 as a clean installl, everything worked perfect. But lately either after installing an update or making some parameter changes, while restarting my system it just comes up with lots of error messages and crashes. I have to press the switch off button to shutdown. I don't know from where to get that error message to post here
View 2 RepliesI have a program running on my server which I want to restart in the event that it ever crashes. Someone suggested "Watchdog" to me, but it appears to me that watchdog restarts the whole system, not the program. I couldn't find much documentation for it. Another suggestion I was given was crontab, except that I don't want to relaunch the program every 60 seconds, as it doesn't run on screen or anything, it forks itself into the background after launching it. Perhaps a bash script that would check to see if the program were running or not, and if it weren't, relaunch it? Not sure how to do that, I've never written bash. In any case, I just want to keep this program running full time.

Has anyone run into this before? It's really quite irritating because as far as I know it's the only free synth with support for soundfonts.

It seems as if for some unknown reason while i am using ubuntu my monitor would go dark with a message at the top with something along the lines of:Batter meter check [OK]after a few seconds of the screen like this Ubuntu would crash and go strait to the login screen as if i had just turned on my computer... This is a very serious problem for i am a student who types alot of essays and needs a reliable computer.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThis can't be duplicated by anything specific, but I know it's not out of RAM at this point. The console keyboard and mouse are inoperational, and the monitor display seems to be going through test patterns, which turns out to be that the monitor is trying to sync to video output which is switching on about once a second. I can ssh into the box and see that many processes that were running are no longer running, for example gnome-session... and that once per second there is a new X process invoked with a different auth-for-gem parameter, per below:
/usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-Kynptf/database -nolisten tcp
(one second later...)

I have a java service that needs to be run in a gnu screen session so that I can -r into it to access it's interactive shell. I would like this to run at start-up. More importantly, it crashes frequently so I need the service to restart itself when it crashes. How do I go about doing this myself? My previous experience with shell scripting amounts to putting ./service in a file and marking it executable. This will be running on a FreeBSD server, but I might put it on a Linux server soon also. So any caveats on the differences would be useful information.

My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "

I have a suspend problem in my laptop. Sometimes, when resuming from suspend, the network adapter is down (that is, the network does not work and the light of the network adapter is off). Restarting the network service doesn't work, because I think that the system forgot about the hardware, and probably the driver should be reloaded.Does anyone knows how to do that?(ps. /etc/init.d/networking restart does not work, because the hardware driver is not being recognized anymore).

Whenever I choose "Restart" from the GDM screen, GDM appears to shutdown, and the first TTY is displayed with a login prompt at the bottom (assuming I haven't used that TTY). I am by no estimation a patient individual, but I waited a solid minute or two for something to happen, but nothing ever did. I end up logging in as root on that TTY and running "shutdown -r now" to get the job done. This is a shared computer, and ideally any user should be able to perform shutdown options graphically from GDM.The only mentioned workaround doesn't apply to me as I am using the nvidia driver, not intel.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed openoffice 3.0 from openoffice site (www.openoffice.org) in my Fedora Core 6 OS computer. However, while doing that I might have made some mistakes. I removed openoffice 2.4 and 2.0 by using openoffice uninstall. In fact, couple of occasions, I have uninstalled and again fresh installed openoffice 3.0 when I noticed that moment I pressed any key, the program crashes. I have by mistaken the script ooffice, thinking that it would automatically install a new one. But there is no ooffice. I have to call soffice for that.
View 2 Replies View Related1). Since last few days my firefox does not restart. In order to restart, I have to remove .parentlock even when I closed the firefox properly after my previous run
Firefox restarts happily when it crashes, and after two crashes, it apologizes but crashes the third and fourth time :-)
2). The other problem is that it crashes a lot on applets.. I use my school blackboard which uses applets a lot (for different utilities), and it crashes 1 out of 5 times on running an applet. I think it due to the IcedTea and/or Java (TM) plugin 1.6.0_06-b02. I have both plugins enabled in Firefox plugins list.
When I close the lid on my Dell Latitude e6510 running Fedora 14/Gnome, the machine seems to suspend correctly. When I reopen the lid or otherwise try to awaken it, I get a text screen showing:
I am running with Linux installed on an external Passport drive, selected via F12 during startup.
A little be confused, as the debian way is not working (like sudo service gdm3 restart) and by the fact that I can not find solution in the internet All I could find is such command like "stop prefdm" which is also not working

When I use the Alt key in the User menu to display the shutdown options and click the "Power Off" option, the box shuts down, but then immediately restarts. Is that supposed to happen? How do I get the box to not restart after powering down? Kernel is 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64. The box also auto-restarts after root command shutdown -h now
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to logout, it tells that you "will be automaticallyed out after 60 seconds"..and there are two buttons there. one is to "cancel", one is to "logout". Even if I press the logout button, it will logout after only a minute. My question is that how to logout instantaneously (without waiting for 60 seconds).The same problem happens when i try to poweroff or restart the computer. It will do it only after 60 seconds. Who in the world would like a machine which does things according to its wish, rather than execute your command?
View 10 Replies View Relatedi'm new on board and new for linux.i installed fc 9, and it's look ok. i want to use stutic ip,so i did what i find here:uote:First, NetworkManager and static ip addresses do not get along. If you want to use static ip addresses, turn off the NM services by going to "system->administration->services" and disable the NM services and reboot.Next, goto "system->admin->network", highlight your device and click the "edit" tab and configure the device. Uncheck the "controlled by NM option" and "automatically obtain ip address" BUT then place a check in the "allow users to control" and "activate on boot"Then click the "dns" tab and fill in your dns servers ip addresses.the problem is that is no internet connection after reboot. than i go to system->admin->network,and activate the device and all ok.

Whenever networking is lost up-stream, obviously, my box loses it and the networking icon gets the "red" cancellation sign over it.Now, when up-stream connectivity returns, Fedora does not auto-connect.

View 11 Replies View RelatedDone a fresh install of Fedora 13 - it's the only os on the computer. Everything appeared to go well, but I'm unable to restart the computer. It gets to a point where it says restarting and just hangs there. Had a bit of a search through the forums and I see this was a problem for some people with earlier versions but haven't seen much mention past Fedora 10, and there doesn't seem to be a universal fix that's worked for everyone so not sure what I should be doing. There was some mention of the problem being related to nvidia drivers, but my video card is an ATI 4850 so that seems to rule that out as a possible cause. I've had several years using Linux (mostly Ubuntu and openSUSE) but hardly any experience with Fedora.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I shut down the computer, then turn it back on- everything goes fine- system loads, no errors.BUTWhen I am in a turned on system, and I ask it to restart (reboot), when the machine restarts and the system starts loading- I get a kernel panic. Every single time- but only when I ask the machine to restart. If it helps, the error didn't appear on Fedora 14.
To make it more colorful- the same situation happens with my Ubuntu 11.04 (I have triple boot- Fedora, Windows and Ubuntu- I am learning Fedora to switch from Ubuntu). When I had Ubuntu 10.10- all was ok- when put 11.04- the error is the same- I can't restart my PC properly. The only system that loads as it should every time is Windows 7.Could anyone pls help me? My guess is that it's some kind of kernel change, because the error didn't show up in the previous versions of both systems (Fedora and Ubuntu).Did memtest (after 12 passes there were still no errors), tried acpi options, modeset, nomodeset (using grub2)- all for nothing.
after restarting my Fedora 10 the eth0 interface is not up
after i manually restart the network service everything is OK but after restarting it is the same problem.
this is the interface config file:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
# Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:0c:29:8b:82:6b
ONBOOT=yes
SEARCH="mydomainname"

i know i can put the restart service command in the rc.local file but it not suppose to work this way.
