Fedora Hardware :: 15 Keeps Locking Up
Jun 23, 2011
My computer keep locking up when I try to open a new tab in Google Chrome. It locks up when I do other stuff too but it does not stay locked up. When it gets locked up from Chrome I have to fix it by doing Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. It only happens sometimes though. I can open new tabs sometimes without it locking up. I know it has something to do with my graphics driver (I have an ati). When it locks up I can't do anything and then like 10 seconds later I can move my mouse but that's it, everything else is still frozen. That's when I do Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. Here is what the messages log file says:

Jun 22 17:47:31 hostname kernel: [12767.018056] radeon 0000:01:00.0: GPU lockup CP stall for more than 10000msec
Jun 22 17:47:31 hostname kernel: [12767.018058] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[Code].....
I changed the real host name of my computer to hostname.

I've recently installed F15 on my old thinkpad X41 to give it a go after sticking to ubuntu for quite a bunch of years now.
Somehow there seems to be a problem with the installation tho: the screen freezes up (as does the keyboard) after a while using it - not many programs open, a couple of workspaces enabled, no memory or CPU stress whatsoever - and all i'm left with is a moving mouse cursor. Ctrl + alt + F2 doesn't work and the only solution is to restart the laptop again.
Tried the fallback mode and same thing still happens, so maybe its not a graphic card issue.

I'm happily running Fedora 13 as a guest OS in VMWare 3.0.1, except that it has one little issue.Sometimes the mouse would get terribly confused. It generally happens when I hit the mouse scroll wheel or when I move a window around very quickly. After that the left mouse button would stop working...
Anyway I found an easy workaround which I thought I'd share.Just hit 'enter unity' on the VMWare player menu. Then you can immediately exit unity again. This somehow resets the mouse into its normal state...

I added the rpmfusion repos so that I could install the nvidia drivers and downloaded whatever updates appeared. Initially after rebooting, I kept getting "No root device found" which I've managed to solve but now it keeps locking up after "Starting atd". That actually manages to load and then it locks so I'm guessing that it's "S99livesys" that is causing the problem.From googling, this appear to be a problem with certain kernels and can be resolved by either using an older kernel image or turning the process off in the command line. My problem is that this was a fresh install so there's only one kernel image so it's impossible for me to use a different one. For the same reason, I can't get into the command line.
Is there anyway to get around this without re-installing?I don't want to have the same issue if I re-install?Can I download the kernel images and just place them in /boot?

I upgraded from F12 i686 to F13 (I should say clean install). And now ever so often my computer locks up...... I will wait for an update or something this week but if it continues after I may have to go back to F12 (on another HDD)

how to lock down individual users from setting a proxy server. Its a server not a WS so it should never go to the internet. I want to lock down the system side and firefox 5 settings. found this link but its a bit confusing. I want to lock the system and mozilla Locking preferences - MozillaZine Knowledge Base I tired this and put the local-setting.js in and now the firefox wont start at all. "failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator. well read several sites that all say to do the same thing but they are talking windows and mac so may be i am missing something being Linux...So what I did was create a file called
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.12/defaults/profile
more mozilla.txt
//
[code]...
Still get error.this link explains what the setting 0-5 are used for Network.proxy.type - MozillaZine Knowledge Base So i thought this might be a permission issue and did a 777 on the local-setting.js file. Still get the error.

What is the best way to begin troubleshooting startup problems after kernel update to 2.6.31.12-174.22.fc12.x86-64? Since updating, I am experiencing frequent system hangs at startup.

I'm still having problems with firefox 3.5 on Fedora 11. My computer freezes; and it takes a power-off reset to unlock it. Keyboard and display are unresponsive (x-server crash). It crashes even with Firefox 3.5 running in safe mode.
Configuration:
Hardware:ATI Radeon� XPRESS 200 Chipset
Kernel: 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i586 #1 SMP i686 athlon i386
firefox.i586 3.5.1-3.fc11
flash-plugin.i386 10.0.32.18-release @adobe-linux-i386
Koji was used to update kernel and firefox. Thanks to wangmaster and other members, I was able to install Firefox 3.0.12, which is run using a different profile. Do I need a debug version of Firefox for a dump? Do I need to send this AMD machine to the landfill or North Carolina?

I just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10. The GUI regularly locks up. I can SSH to it from another machine everytime it locks up. Top shows Xorg consuming 99% cpu. I think downgrading the nvidia driver to 173 from 185 helped reduce the lockups. Before they seemed very random and very often. Now it seems to happen when copying a large amount of files over the network but I'm not entirely sure. It ran the electricsheep screensaver all day today with no problems and the RSS euphoria GL screensaver all day yesterday. If I copy 2GB of files from one local directory to another no problem, if I do it through cifs mounted samba shares it will lock up for sure. Small amounts seem ok. Apt-get install has had some lock ups too.
I don't really know how to trace what's going on beyond installing ssh and finding out that it's totally alive inside. I don't know what to look for in log files nor which ones to look at. I didn't recognize anything wrong in Xorg log. In the system log I look for the time gap between when it locked up and I shut down and when I rebooted but I didn't notice anything.

I first started experiencing it when I would leave my computer logged in overnight.I would come in and find the screen frozen and flickering. When I ssh'd into the machine, I could see that Xorg was using 100% of the CPU and a ton of memory. I could kill kdm, but not Xorg. Only a full reboot would cure it.When it would reboot, my second monitor sometimes would not work and it would take several reboots to get it up and running. Recently, I was working in matlab and had Xorg freeze on my numerous times...always when I had my second monitor up and running.
The card in question is an Nvidia 9800 GX 2.It almost seems like GPU0 (the one running the second monitor) is dead or dieing and is causing instability when it is up and running..but I've also heard that X running away and locking up the system is a known bug.

I know that Ubuntu doesn't need antivirus, and a firewall isn't imperative.
I would, however, like to know what I could do to make my Lucid box a bit more secure, as I'm using it as my work system.

Ok, one more question on nameserver security. So I was reading this post and it recommended not setting a defined outgoing port for your nameserver due to the Kaminsky vulnerability.What is the proper way to lock down a nameserver, but avoid the vulnerability of only allowing incoming and outgoing requests on port 53

I have to run a graphical session for using something with wine on a server (unfortunately :((( ) and I'd like to run a TWM session. As I would like to lock the session, I settled things to log on from XDM. However, I can't find anyway to lock the session. Is it possible (I guess yes) ? How can it be achieved?

So is this what I get for not upgrading because the support for 8.10 ends on 4/30? I have 8.10 but it is locking up immediately after logging in. It's a 64 bit system and has worked flawlessly up to this point. Ctrl-alt-BS does not work. Alt-Sys-K does not work. Alt-Sys-R, E, I, S, U, E does not work. Only turning off the power resets the computer. Memtest turned up nothing.

I run 6 machines at our local library with Ubuntu Lucid. Here is a problem. We use a network printer accessed through the ethernet cabling system. It isn't attached to a computer. I want to set it up so the Ubuntu computers find it by ip address, it has a static address. Then I would like to lock down the printer config as each week other printers show up there, all basically the same printer but only works if the patrons pick the correct iteration of it and it doesn't always stick to the default option I haver set up. So people get confused and then pick another one and no prints. I want them to click print and bingo only one printer shows up and it is the ip address I have set up. Ubuntu seems to love to add numerous copies of printers and in this situation it is creating havoc. So can I somehow set a command to lock the printer config and eliminate all this confusion? I hope this is clear as it is a fairly complicated issue.But is reflecting poorly on Linux to people who come in and I want it to b e very stable.

After locking desktop not asking for password I am using Ubuntu 10.04 TLS from a pen-drive (running Ubuntu example). I created a new user account When I lock desktop it correctly turnout the screen (everything go dark). When I move the mouse Ubuntu returns perfectly. My problem is that in any time I am not asked for password. I want that Ubuntu while locking ask for password to login again. I already tried configuring lock down and lock properties (application) via gconf-editor.

first of some specs;
kernel 2.6.35-23-generic
64 bit amd turion dual core
toshiba satellite about 6 months old
4gig ram (oddly only 3.1gig shows up :/)
ubuntu 10.10
ATI GPU
how to get it and i will get it
alright the problem is every now and then my system locks up and i try things like ctrl+alt+Fn and ctrl+alt+del and ctrl+alt+backspace but nothing works exsept when hold down the power button for a hard reset and occasionally somthing else happens that can only be comppared to a BSOD in windows but with out the blue screen it just goes to a screen with vertical grey stripes for 2 seconds ish then reboots
so i dont have the slightest idea of what it could be tho i think it could be something to do with the graphics chip maybe?
its happened quite a few times both in 10.04 and 10.10
if you want system logs i can attach them when ever

I noticed in the last month or so that Ubuntu keeps on randomly locking up and freezing.Most of the time Crtl+Alt+Backspace (zap X) does not work and I have to power down my PC manually.What has happened good old reliable Ubuntu? Its starting to p.i.ss me off now but luckily I haven't lost anything of value as a result of these lockups.

I've tried to configure ubuntu 10.04.2 to start up without having to enter a password, thought I did all the correct things yet I get this 'lockring' thing where I still have to enter my password every single time I start up. I get past the first screen where I was having to enter a password when selecting user, (actually never set up a user, just using whatever the primary 'user' is, what is it called?)How do I disable the request for a password for this lockring thingy?

Just before X begins, the screen states that there's an error in locking Xauthority. What does this mean? Is this something that should concern me? Is there a way to fix this?

The latest version of Linux Mint with GNOME ROCKS on my PC.
However I noticed randomly X will lock up and have to be killed.
Checking /var/log/syslog this is what shows up during the time of when it happens:
Code:
Jun 13 23:43:18 davidspc NetworkManager[700]: <info> (eth1): DHCPv4 state changed nbi -> preinit
Jun 13 23:43:18 davidspc dhclient: Listening on LPF/eth1/ac:81:12:30:dd:9b
Jun 13 23:43:18 davidspc dhclient: Sending on LPF/eth1/ac:81:12:30:dd:9b
Jun 13 23:43:18 davidspc dhclient: Sending on Socket/fallback
[Code]....
I also checked "top" when X was frozen by "CTRL-ALT-F2" but the CPU usage was at 1 percent so it wasn't being throttled.

I have a new PC with 9.10 desktop . It's running Zoneminder. For some reason it will not run more than 24 hours with out locking up . It's set up stand alone with no screen or keyboard. I hacked the vga port with 3 resistors so remote desktop works. I did this on 2 other systems and it always works fine. I want to ask where can I look in the logs to try and find out why this beast dies after just before 24 hours of run time.
