Fedora :: 12 Often Stucks On Laptop - LED Flash And The Whole Machine Loses Respond
Dec 28, 2009
My computer(DELL Latitude D830) halt itself on Fedora 12. When the problem comes,the LED flash and the whole machine loses respond to what I do.The only thing I can do is push down the power button.This problem mostly occure when I'm running VirtualBox or some programme that read or write disk heavily.I don't know how to debug this problem.Is there somewhere any logs which I could see what actually happened when my computer stops working ?

I have Vortexbox (fedora distro) installed on a laptop which I am using as a media server. I would have issues where I thought the laptop would go to sleep and disconnect itself from the internet. The computer boots in command line mode and what I would notice is that the screen would go blank and then I would have to go to the computer and jiggle the trackpad and it would wake up. I posted about it and got responses related to the gnome desktop which I could not find the files referred to in the answer.
I tried using setterm to keep the computer awake setting blank to 0 and powersave off. The same thing happens even with the monitor on and the screen display on. A gesture on the trackpad seems to wake the ethernet back up. Here's my old post: [URL]. Everything else about this situation is perfect. Vortexbox is easy to set up and it does everything I want, DLNA, streams to my squeezeboxes, etc, but this ethernet cutting out is exasperating.

I have a Lenovo T500 laptop with 4 GB RAM. I have installed Windows 7 64bits OEM on my laptop HD. I also installed Fedora 14 on my USB External Hard Drive which it has it own boot sector. I don't want to have a dual boot. So if I plug in my external HD to my laptop and turns the machine on, it automatically my Fedora comes up, other wise my windows 7. (I set up start-up boot drive , first to USB External HD and then internal HD)
I installed KVM (Virtual Machine Manger) on my Fedora 14 and I am trying to install windows 7 64bits OEM on my Fedora 14 as Virtual Machine. After setting everything and start installing windows form CD, I got BLUE SCREEN right after "WINDOWS FILES LOADING..." finished. it shows me a blue screen and then it will stop
Questions:
1- How can I fix that problem?
2- Is ther way to make a Virtual Machine on my Fedora using my exiting installed windows 7 on my laptop HD?

Trying to set up a LAN with an FC14 laptop, FC15 PC and a Windows machine running XP. I have SAMBA installed on both FC machines, but neither of them can see shares on each other or the XP machine. I can ping between all of them. The Windows machine sees all of the SAMBA shares.
When I attempt to Connect to Server under Places on the FC15 PC, I do not have a Windows share option to choose from as I do on the laptop, suggesting smbclient isn't configured correctly on that machine. SMB, NMB and WINBIND are installed and activated on startup on both FC machines. Although I have the Windows share option on the FC14 laptop, it will only connect with the IP address.
Firewalls and SELinux on both machines are disabled. Here are some configuration details:
rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-3.5.8-68.fc15.1.x86_64
samba-winbind-3.5.8-68.fc15.1.x86_64
samba-swat-3.5.8-68.fc15.1.x86_64
system-config-samba-docs-1.0.9-2.fc15.noarch
samba-winbind-clients-3.5.8-68.fc15.1.x86_64

I'm running Fedora 9, and I've just started getting a problem (it was working the other day), where if I type
sudo su -
then any program which uses X gives an error about not being able to open the display.
For instance:
# gnome-terminal
No protocol specified
cannot open display: Run 'gnome-terminal --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
I've checked the value of $DISPLAY, and it's :0.0, (which is what it should be, and what my non-root user has as $DISPLAY).
I've also noticed, I can "ssh -Y" from my non-user account into root@localhost, and the display works!

I'm trying to install Fedora 10. I'm booting from a CD, and the installation gets as far as those 3 progress bars in the very beginning. As soon as they all load, my monitor goes black and starts flashing a "DVI Input Out Of Range" warning. That's all.
I'm using a
nvidia geforce 8800 gtx
and the Planar PX3611W monitor.

I am setting up a fresh Fedora 10 install on an older computer for a roommate and have one odd little problem, everything else appears to be working just fine.
The network connection drops after about 2 minutes (somewhere between 90-120 seconds). This only happens in the installed Fedora 10; it does not happen at all when I boot a Kubuntu LiveCD.
Here's what I know:
The machine is a Dell Dimenision 4500, 2.0 GHz, 512Mb ram.
The ethernet card is 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet.
Unplugging the ethernet cord and plugging it back in allows the network interface to come back up, grabs the right IP, but only holds it for another two minutes.
ifconfig and route show all the right info while the connection is good, but inet disappears once it goes down.
'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup eth0' do not bring it back up.
Is this a driver issue perhaps?

By way of background: I've been using Linux since kernel 0.97.something_or_the_other, but I've been using one of the other distros. This is my first crack at Redhat/Fedora.
I'm trying to install Fedora 10 on an old Compaq Proliant 3000, dual P-II 450, Compaq Smartarray 3200, plenty of drive space, 3C905 based NIC, original Compaq CD drive.
The install will boot from the CD just fine, I get the initial graphic menu to select whether to do an install, upgrade, etc.
I select option 1 to install and I get what looks like an ncurses based screen that asks me to select a language, another screen that asks for a keyboard, then a screen that asks me if I want to install from CD/DVD, NFS, local drive, etc.
If I select the CD install option, the next screen complains that it can't find a drive and asks me to either select a driver from a list of drivers or to insert a driver disk. Doesn't matter what driver I select, it always snaps immediately back to the screen that says it can't find the hardware to match the driver. Every time it does this, it's not spinning the CD to read the driver that I've selected.
IF I go for an NFS install, after it asks me the network parms I wind up at that same driver screen with the same results, no matter what I pick it throws me back to the can't find hardware/pick a driver screen. As far as I can tell, the NIC is never actually trying to wake up.
I know the hardware is functional because if I boot from from CD with my usual distro it identifies and starts all the hardware just fine, CD, NIC, RAID, etc.
I can see where it might work to have the necessary driver module for the CD on a floppy, but where do I get the module? I tried mounting the .iso images for the install set on another machine but I don't see anything obvious that looks like modules that I can cabbage onto.

My system clock loses about 10 seconds every minute. The hwclock is fine. I've tried different kernel args (clocksource=acpi_pm, nohz=off, highres=off). None of these have any effect. I am running Fedora 11 with kernel 2.6.30-105.2.23.fc11.x86_64 on an AMD Istanbul node (Processor 2439 SE).

A newly installed CentOS machine when connected to a 4-Port KVM switch stucks at GRUB screen asking for OS selection menu.
Before starting CentOS box
> IF the view of KVM is set to this computer, GRUB automatically selects the default option and loads the kernel
> IF the view of KVM is set to any other computer, GRUB doesn't load the kernel after default time out. I've to press enter key on
GRUB screen everyday.I want this machine to get OS loaded even in my absence.Once i removed the display cable and tried to start the computer but it again stucked at GRUB screen.Can a linux computer boot without monitor?
Note: CentOS 5.2 is only OS installed on this computer.
No issue before connecting to KVM
All KVM ports are tested and are working fine.
Once the OS is loaded successfully(either automatically or manually), everything works fine.

I just tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 x86 on my netbook (Lenovo S12 - Intel at all) but this is just horrible. The system is dead after a few seconds but after I moved the mouse or pressed a key it goes on normally for a few seconds and then it stucks again and so on.
Ubuntu 10.04 had the same problem but it was not that extreme! Maybe it stucks after 2-3 minutes but not after 3-5 seconds! And after I installed all the updates it runs just fine. What can I do? I really love Ubuntu and it's a pitty that I cannot use it.

Some days ago (Sep 2?) I did a 'yum update' on a F13 64bit computer. Since then I don't get a logon screen when booting. The computer doesn't respond to CTRL-ALT-F2 but I can login over ssh.
CAPS-LOCK and NUM-LOCK don't work on the local keyboard and moving the mouse has no effect either. When looking in dmesg I see following line:
INFO: task Xorg:1850 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Xorg.0.log attached.
I didn't touch xorg.conf when this happened.

I'm have some desktop computers sharing my Centos 5 server diskpace through NFS. From time to time, without any warning, lockd bugs and all the users that are using GTK applications like Firefox,Gnome.get stuck.
My first atempt is to restart the NFS, but locked files persist because I can kill the lockd pid process, even using root account , I suppose this is because it's a kernel process. Here is the message error I get when restarting NFS matrix kernel: lockd_down: lockd failed to exit, clearing pid

I have a couple of problems the upper and lower bars will vanish. And also at times the computer does not respond this is the actions leading up to that. I will move my curor to the system button then down to to preferences and then no responce from any clicking the mouse will move but the computer will not recover from this state.??? I have the following
Nforce3-A MB
amd ath 64 3000
ATI video ?? 128mb
net card (think onboard is dead)
raptor 36 Gb HD
1 Gb ram
sony DVD
Also some other issues: I used the yum update and had to use the yum complete-transaction-function to get it to finish seems all went well after that cant get yum list adobe* to list any thing to install?? And sometimes the computer will start up and after login will go to the nice blue desk top with no icons or bars???
I had a hard time installing this os on my computer as it did not want to use the sata on board. Got a IDE to sata adapter and things went well from there. I also tried to install it on a 4 Gb CF card that was adapted thro the IDE but that was a bust also.

I'm having trouble installing F11 x86_64, and I'm sure it is something to do with the video card.X will not even start if I have both nvidia quadro FX1700's installed. If I take one out, I can install F11, but it always 'hangs' when it starts X (which is to say, both the keyboard and mouse are locked - until I press the power button, but then it shuts down anyway).I've fiddled inittab so it starts in runlevel 3 so I can at least get in and tinker. There is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11, so I assume the system is building it's own and not quite getting it right (guess work based on other threads with similar symptoms).
I can connect to the system from another Linux machine via ssh, and I can ftp to it. I tried copying the xorg.conf from the other machine, but while it changed the screen resolution (ergo, it had some effect), it still went nuts. Starting X remotely via ssh allowed me to trap the messages, which indicate the lack of HAL has something to do with the problem.service --status-all reports hald stopped; I'm assuming this should not be the case. I've used yum to reinstall hal, but that made no difference. Nor did an update - it was already at the most recent level.F11 was installed from a DVD downloaded vai a bittorrent; the disk checked out ok.
My knowledge is limited, and I don't know what should be in xorg.conf for my machine, although I could type it in from scratch or ftp it across from here. It was 'okay' under F10, happily tolerating both video cards. But it seems to be sulking under F11. In case it matters, I'm doing everything as root; since firstboot starts X, I can't use that to create another userid.
- nomodeset, xdriver=vesa, selinux=0, remove rhgb as boot parameters - all to no avail (although these changes seem to be ignored for the most part anyway);
- start the HAL daemon manually (mine failed to start, as others have reported). It didn't like that! (the output is available, but is enormous)
- startx -configure - simply failed;
- dirconf didn't work;
- I've tried swearing at it during start-up, which turned out to be no more or less successful than anything else, but it was fun.
Intel Q6600 64 bit. Twin nvidia Quadro FX1700 cards (one removed for the time being) driving two 1920x1200 monitors each. Please let me know if there is any other relevant information I can supply.

I have an offer for a free outdated laptop, and wondering if it's possible to run skype on this. It will be running with a very stripped-down Ubuntu Linux operating system, and no other graphical goodies hogging up the processing power.
The specs will be:
400 Mhz Celeron processor
Approx 300 MB RAM
Rest is unknown.
Think this is capable of running skype with video?

Have just upgraded (14-->15) using the dvd option; installed the nvidia driver (I think) and am able to startx and get to the Gnome 3 desktop (Wallpaper and top "task" bar look correct)..But, the mouse and keyboard have absolutely no affect. No matter what I click on, or what keyboard combination I use, nothing happens..(Have spent the last 3 hours researching it; and just seem to be getting nowhere.. I can do anything I need to from the CLI; but am not sure what to do..

I have installed Fedora 11 recently on a new system. Sphinx speech recognition was working fine on my old system. When i run the same project on my new system, the system does not respond as it is waiting for microphone voice input.
Then I checked the microphone and have set it properly and its working now. The details how i made my microphone working is at the following link: [url]
Though, I can record and play any sound, but it is not working with sphinx project.

This could be easy but I obviously don't find the way myself, so I'm asking.I have esd running on a small device (router running OpenWRT).This has a large harddrive and a soundcard attached via USB and I'm using it to play my music via mpd, which also runs on this little device.Can't use pulseaudio, which would be better I suppose, because pulseaudio is not available for OpenWRT latest, so it's got to be esd.Playing the sound of movies I watch on my laptop through this device also works.I use mplayer and its esd-output - works nicely.
What I miss and want to do is:direct all sound from my laptop to esd on the above device.Specifically I would like to hear the sound of flash clips like those on ..... or metacafe through the nice speakers attaced to the device rather than through my laptops really low quality speakers.What I've done to get mplayer to output the movies sound through esd is:I just set the ESPEAKER environment variable to the IP of the router - and run mplayer with -ao esd.I also set the default audiosink to be esdsink - but this appearently has not the desired effect.Would I need to have esd running on my laptop?

I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.
