Unbeknown to us our son removed the battery and I unplugged the power cord. Instant off! Since then I can't restart. The error is very lengthy but each Control-D brings a reboot but the same sticking point. If I understand correctly I am asked to run setenforce as root. I did this and it does each separate file. How many will I have to do? Is there another way to restart?
Well, this new issue when installing the new lucid relase iso seems to be closly related to my previous bug report refering to suspend and hybernate failing to power off, freezing at and of suspend/hybernate preperation. now what happens... installing ubuntu lucid 64bit, all gos perfect. finally i get the window begging me to reboot. i click reboot. window finsihes its work and disapears. that's it. screen is frozen with its purple background. no ctrl+alt+del, nor anything else works. only reset button. so it failed ro reboot like it fails to pwoer off for hybernate or suspend. on same machine this does not happen with karmic. it is a soley ubuntu lucid problem. any suggestion how to track that down? p.s. in my original thread and bug report i provided a pm-suspend.log that went all good till the last statement "powering off".
I use Squeeze with Xfce. My problem is that recently (after the xfce updates) the xfce power manager doesnt react to the power button - it is set to suspend. I dont have gnome-power manager or anything like it running. If i reboot the computer, the power button will work but if i suspend and resume, it doesnt work again. The computer is built on an Asus M3N78-VM mobo (2GB RAM/Athlon3200+ single core).
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and I purchased a new ALFA AWUS036H wireless card. I would like to know if this "1Watt" wireless card is configured for full power. iwlist wlan0 txpower results:
wlan0 unknown transmit-power information. Current Tx-Power=27 dBm (501 mW). It appears to me that I should be able to increase the power. "iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1" does not work. Do I need to patch the new default driver that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with the aircrack one following these directions:[URL]...? Monitor mode and a injection tests seem to work fine with the driver I have installed.
I'm looking for any power monitoring devices for Linux to allow monitoring power quality, voltage changes, and outages. This would be for North American three phase power system. I want to have this data fed live to my own program. It should be something much better than just jury-rigging a circuit to fee the power waveform into 2 or 3 audio cards.
I had unplugged my PC last night as sometimes there's storms at night this morning I plugged in PC and the power light is blinking and the PC wont come on at all tried different power cord, same result
PC is a AMD athlon64 3300+ 2.4ghz SiS graphics
probably the power-supply or what?
If it is the power supply, how do I find new one as I've never had to replace anything on it or any other PC?
Also, I really need access to the hard drive but it's a weird hard drive and was wondering if I could put that hard drive in my K7 PC, which already has 2 drives in it can a pc have 3 drives? do I have to add/have another ribbon cable for 3rd drive?
On the last release, I had this app installed where I could pick my power profile. I could use power conservatively, and performance would suffer a bit, but longer batt life,or I could have it automatically detect, or I could have the apps use all the power they want and then some. I'm looking to reinstall that app. What was the name of it?I can't remember, and so far, can't find.
After much research, I have found the solution to my intermittent wireless problem!Whenever the laptop is plugged into power, wireless is perfect, when I'm on battery, wireless is horrible.Here is the fix:
Code: sudo iwconfig eth1 power off Unfortunately, I have to type this in everytime I unplug the laptop.
I am using sda1 as /, which is a bootable drive. I do not know if my problem is that I did not create a /boot drive. After removing the iso dvd, I tried to reboot and I get this back: -bash: /sbin/reboot: input/output error Then it returns me to the terminal prompt.
i'm using last fedora 12 x64, all updated, my laptop motherboard is SIS U50SA, Intel proc, while on AC power the fan is always on, I have checked and no process is running at 100% of cpu, but when I run on battery only - the fan turn off, what could be wrong?
Does anyone know of a way to determine how the PC/Server was powered on? I'm interested in writing a startup script that performs a specific action depending on the poweron cause.
For example: If powered on by "wakalarm" perform task X & shutdown. If powered on by "power button" perform task Y.
Is there any way to determine the cause of the power on? I'm running Federa 12.
I've got a F10 machine set up as a media center (with mythtv...mythdora to be precise) and I love that it's based on fedora since I'm most familiar with it..I would like to map the power button press to a command "pkill X" since sometimes the frontend freezes and running this command kills X (I'm running ratpoison for the speed and simplicity...it just gets the job done and doesn't get in the way).Any help in mapping a single button press to "pkill X" would be greatly appreciated. I also need some help adding this command to the sudo list so the regular "mythtv" user will be able to run it...no password can be entered since the machine has no keyboard. Currently I log in via ssh to get this done but it would be nice to not have to boot up a laptop just to do this.
I installed F12 KDE from the live cd and now when I Shutdown or Reboot, it takes 2 minutes and 8 seconds for the machine to power off. Yes, I timed it. Happens everytime like that. Even when booting from both "mainstream" live cd and the KDE spin live cd. When I hit the Shutdown or Reboot, it goes through the daemons/services shutdown the flashes up the Halting System or Please wait while the system reboots messages (respectivley), turns off the LCD and then just... sits with the power light on and hard drive activity light on. I should mention this is on a Toshiba Laptop about a year old. Intel Chipsets. (Satellite Pro S300M-S2142 if anyone is really curious).
The hard drive light stays on for about 1:03 minutes and then it turns off, at 2:08 minutes - the Power light finally turns off and the thing finally shuts down. I've tried adding acpi=off, but that just gets me a kernel panic on startup and acpi=debug all I seem to notice is "Malformed early option 'acpi'" in messages and dmesg. How consistant the power off time is makes me think there's a timeout of sorts going on, but I have no idea on how to track that down.
I am using Fedora 12. Prior to this I was using Ubuntu 9.10. In Fedora 12, I am facing a problem with battery power. Sometimes when it is fully charged I remove the power cord, battery power comes down to 40%-41%. It never happened with Ubuntu, which gave quite a good battery performance. My question is when it is showing Laptop Battery 100% i.e. fully charged, if I remove the cord why it comes down to 40%-41% (and always in this range).
My PC lost power while updating. After booting, I run update once again and everything seems to be fine, except the message "could not do simulate: coreutils-libs-8.4-8.fc13.i686 requires coreutils = 8.4-8.fc13 : Success - empty transaction".
When I try using "yum update", I receive the error message below.
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check
Today I installed starDict in my Fedora LiveUSB, after I reboot machine. The system backtrack the original one, and then I update the kernel, the system also backtrack.
Why LiveUSB have this function. Can you explain theory about LiveUSB.
I'm using Fedora 12 with LXDE (sudo yum groupinstall LXDE if you want to try it), and while using LXDE rather than GNOME, the power button doesn't do anything. I found a possible solution here: [URL] but I have no /etc/acpi/ folder. Why is that? Package acpid is needed.
here is the problem I am facing. My system [ fedora 11 with all updates installed as of nov 27] suffered a power interuption.[ well that happens I dont have an UPS] here is what happen then
1- when i restarted i get stuck with the "install problem with gnome power manager" that prevent the desktop to launch. I found this to be well documented and I ssh'd [ for some reason cannot get the consol] my system and tried as root to remove gnome-power manager with yum remove power manager ... well the command hang out doing nothing and I have to close the session and reconnect... CTRL C dont even work.
So I had another problem. I started checking my system and when I tried df, I received the shocking following answer
it doesn't do anything critically wrong.it shuts down, starts up, suspends, restarts, etc, rather well.only thing is that, altho' I set the settings to never hibernate and to never put the display to sleep, it does. I't's annoying, since I can't whatch a movie in peace, for instance.
When I change the "Put display to sleep when in active for" it seems to make no difference. The screen goes to sleep when it wants. Some times in the middle of watching a dvd (after about 10 mins when it is set to 1 hour).Could this be done by terminal, perhaps there is a problem between entering in the GUI and actually telling the machine.
I had a power failure during the portion of the upgrade after the reboot where it was upgrading the packages.I tried restarting the machine with the upgrade line in the bootloader but it says it cant find the bootloader. So I rebooted into the working install and ran preupgrade again, and after it reboots, it gives an error the it cant find "root" of the previous installation.even thought the machine boots and works, I cant tell what state I am in. the boot option lines, shows a fc12 kernel designation and the "about this computer" says "release 13"Also the add remove software doesn't show anything.
I installed Fedora 13 (KDE) version: Linux version 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE latptop: toshiba satellite C650 - intel core i3 I have few problem, one of them is the power management it seems the power management can't see the battery therefore not battery status. power profile isn;t working. after shutting down the system, the computer stays on (screen, hdd ..etc) until I press the "turn on button". also I cant change the screen brightness using power management..its fixed.I dont know whats the problem and i dont know how to fix it.
When I am installing texlive software suddenly power is switched off in the middle. Then onwards I am unable to update the system. And I tried to remove texlive but The error coming as texlive is not installed.
My computer is running really slow after a power outage. It was fine, then the power went out. Now it's *unabably* slow. The OS takes a long time to load, the simple calculator takes a few minutes to show up, Firefox doesn't even load at all before I give up. And it won't shut down normally. I have to use the power button.
So did the power outage fry somthing on my PC. Do I have ot replace RAM or the processor? Or is it a software issue? Do I have to do something as drastic as a reimage?
completely new to fedora but a long time ubuntu user. I never got my wacom bamboo touch to work correctly in ubuntu and I was wondering since I'm already installing Fedora 12 on my 15" PowerBook G4 why not give it a whirl.
I just completed a clean install and update of Fedora 14 on a Dell Precision 490 (4G of RAM, Dual Xeon 5140 CPUs).The system has all of the current updates applied and seems to be running normally, but it will not complete a shutdown/poweroff or restart. It gets hung with Restarting... in the upper left corner of the screen and stays there until I force the system to power down.I have searched quite a bit for related problems but have come up empty. Its kind of hard to debug because the system does not respond when it is in this hung state and there does not appear to be any relevant info in /var/log that I can find.
