Fedora Hardware :: Shutdown System Gracefully Before Power Runs Out
May 1, 2010
I have machine which I am using a server for all my office activities. We have fedora (11.0) installed in that system. When even power goes out system is getting shut-down abruptly. We have UPS for this system and some times UPS also runs out of power. Do we have any software, which monitors battery power and shutdown the system gracefully, when system knows that power is running out. I am using desktop machine, not a laptop. So I may some hardware like battery which runs fot sometime, even though there is no power. Then there will software which monitors and shut down the system gracfully.

I would like a program that will auto shutdown my Linux machine when it detects low power or X amount of minutes remaining on UPS. I don't have NIC's in my UPS's so that's why I am asking... Not even sure it is possible for the Linux machine to detect when it switches to AUX power.

I've been using Ubuntu on and off since 8.04, but only last week decided to make a real switch across to it.After installing 9.10 64bit though, my laptop while running Ubuntu just turns itself off at completely random times - it doesn't seem to go through any shut down procedure or anything, it's more like the power's just suddenly cut. It sometimes happens 5 minutes after being turned on, or sometimes 4 or 5 hours, it really is random.I really have no idea where to even begin trying to stop this. I think it must be a software thing because this has never happened with windows or earlier versions of Ubuntu, but other than that I don't know what to do to stop this.I'm dual booting Windows 7 32bit and Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, and this is on a Toshiba L350-D 11-D laptop, which has a 64bit AMD processor.

I have a PCChips M830 version 5 motherboard with AMD Duron 666mhz cpu and 786mb DDR ram. I installed Mythdora 12.23 for playing videos on my tv and music on my stereo. Eventually I hope to get DSL out in the sticks where I live and can then stream movies from Netflix. I did not install MythTV. The installation went fine and I had no errors. I've done a lot getting it ready and it is stable. The problem I'm having is it will not power down. When I click "Shut Down" and then press F1 I can see the shutdown procedure and all looks fine until it gets to "Power Down".
At which time it freezes and I have to flip the power switch on the power supply for it to power down. If I open a terminal and do "su root" and use "shutdown -h now" it exhibits the same behaviour. I've looked through the bios settings several times paying close attention to the "Power Management" section and have not seen anything relating to this. Doesn't seem like a big problem I know, but it keeps me from booting the machine from LAN since the ethernet card WOL settings are lost when powering down with the power supply switch.

I found an application AUTO POWER ON & SHUTDOWN in windows which is really very useful to those who have night unlimited broadband connection. I searched for similar application in UBUNTU as I am slowly shifting to UBUNTU from 10.04 (maveric) version. Whenever I search for application or for other options, so many have written failed attempts only.

This OS is has been cloned from the drive of another computer. The motherboard is now an SIS730. I assume the hardware is sufficiently different to prevent the OS from shutting down the computer.How do I fix this? ---without installing, if possible.

I currently run kernel 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686 (sort of). When I select from the Gnome menu System -> Shutdown and select Shutdown from the dialog, my system only logs out, presenting me with the greeting screen. While this is a minor problem and I rarely shutdown my machine, it is mildly disconcerting.I have dropped back to 2.6.34.7-63.fc13.i686 and that shutdowns properly using this method. (Also, 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686 works properly). I can imagine that it might close some security issue in which an unauthorized user is able to halt the entire machine. Especially if this is something that will continue in future releases of the kernel.

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 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 am using a Gateway M-6888u laptop, btw)

I have a Genius K627 Keyboard with Power, Sleep and Wake buttons. ACPI is unsupported on my computer, but it can turn off its power supply when the system halts (PM is ok). I would like to bind the Power key on the keyboard to execute the /sbin/halt command. What I already know is that I can specify an event in inittab (kbrequest) that would execute a command. What I don't know how I can make my system receive pressing Power button as a kbrequest. The scancodes of Power button on the keyboard (by showkey): 0x74 0xf4
This is the line I was talking about in my inittab:
Code:
ce:12345:kbrequest:/sbin/halt
I think I should edit /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz but don't know how I could insert this scancode into it.

I have built a Centos 5.3 server for a friend of mine that is being used as a NAS server. The server has 4 1TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration and a dedicated non raid system drive for the OS. My friend isnt very Linux literate so I need this bow to be relatively simple. I have worked most of it out but have a question with regards to remote reboot.
I need to be able to shut this device down through the power switch without human intervention (at the moment when the power switch is pushed the server asks to confirm shutdown) the server wont have a Monitor connected so this isn't practical. Is it possible to use the power switch to do an clean, immediate shutdown?
The other option is shutdown through a web page is this something that has been done before? I know he can do it through terminal by issuing a shutdown now command but as I said this guy wants something simple. I don't really want to explain everytime he needs to shut the Server down how to do it if he can just do it via a website or even with the power button.

When I try to shutdown or reboot from the system menu in Fedora 12, I am returned to the logon prompt. I am able to shutdown and reboot from a terminal window by issuing the shutdown command as the root user.

I've just installed F15 KDE Edition, and as the title tells, I need to keep pressing F2 and/or Enter to make the system go through the boot up process, otherwise it freezes as long as i keep it without my interference !! and then it takes relatively long time to start the GUI, and when I switch to the console (using ALT + CTRL + F3 for example) and try to write the login or the password, there seem to be some 'bouncing' effect, that if I'm to write the login 'root', I get something like 'rrooott' ... however, this doesn't happen in the GUI .....
I have a multiboot system, with Windows7 and Linux Mint (based on ubuntu 10.4) installed along side. While Windows7 doesn't have any problem with my hardware, Linux mint has also some issues that cause the performance of media players to degrade (sound and video tearing) and cause repeated freezes to some applications (a game actually, 'wesnoth') until I press a key or move the mouse.
I have AMD Athlon 7750 dual core 2.7 GHz system, with 3GB DDR2 800 Ram, and embedded ATI Radeon HD 3200 with about 512 shared memory.
one more thing, when I booted off the live image to run the install program, I booted into the video failsafe mode (not sure of the exact name, but I think you got it, no mode setting) and passed the option 'noapic', so I suppose this options are still passed whenever I boot mysystem, as I get the text version of the progress bar during startup, rather then the graphical fedora logo ( i.e no mode setting) ..

I am currently using a Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04
When I press the power button, I see a dialogue box which asks for confirmation and if nothing is confirmed system automatically shuts down in 60 seconds.
I want to change this time of 60 seconds to say 30 seconds. Is it possible? Also is there a way to hide that dialogue box...

After a recent upgrade, the red power icon in the far right of the upper panel disappeared. In its place is a half obscured copy of my user name, which appears right next to my user name (along with the chat icon). The chat icon/user name is functional, as it is supposed to be, but the half obscured user name that replaced my shutdown/restart power icon is just a bug, and has no function. Not only is it unsightly, but I miss the power icon. Yes, I can right-click on the panel and add one, but it doesn't allow me to drag it all the way to the far upper-right corner, where it is supposed to be located... I found this post in another thread: sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-session, but it did nothing to solve my problem.. I'm running 64-bit 10.10, btw, if that makes any difference.

I have upgraded my netbook system to lenny. I got almost every thing working right except gnome-power-manager shutdown event. It shows critical battery level (red color) on its applet on the panel but it does not do the normal safe shutdown action. Instead, it just do a sudden shutdown of the system which causes the lose of some data. Is there any way to solve this issue using lenny's current version (2.22.1-4)?My netbook is AcerOne.

I have just made a clean installation of FC12. The only change I have made for now is to disable the NetworkManager and set a static ip address. My problem is that when I click "shutdown" it doesn't complete the shutdown and hangs due to some kind of kernel error. Then I have to use the power-switch to shut it down. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often (every 3rd shutdown or so).
I get this error-messages on the screen:
Code:
Unmounting file systems:[OK]
Halting system...
--------[ cut here ]-----------

I have Ubuntu 10.10 on e-machine T-1221 I can shut down the machine using :
sudo shutdown -h from terminal
I can shutdown using powerbutton on case. I can't use the applet indicator powerbutton in root account, but, I can use the command under "System-->-Shutdown" in root account, but I don't see "System-->-Shutdown" in users account. Is there a way to add it ? I installed Debian 6.0 Squeeze on my Acer Aspire 3620 Laptop it works just fine and has the same Gnome Desktop. The only thing different is that there is no powerbutton available thru Gnome applets, only the command on menu under" Sytem-->-Shutdown", which I'm fine with on this machine.
These are the things I tried on emachine T-1221
I tried "acpi=force"
I tried "noacpi"
I tried "noacpi nolapic"
I read the bug reports it stated that on live-cd there was only suspend and hibernate. There is no shutdown or reboot. I tried: "#start acpi", it closed with errors. It said that Ubuntu uses upstart. Is there a script which you can add to power button to add the shutdown.? Really I don't necessarily need powerbutton, I think the work around would be adding the command to "System-->-Menu.

So, I installed debian and everything is nice, only one minor problem I haven't been able to solve is I think when I shutdown the computer running applications are being killled instead of terminated gracefully (if I open iceweasel, open a few tabs, close it and open it again only the homepage is opened, but if I open iceweasel, shutdown the computer, boot it and run iceweasel all the tabs are opened again, the same happens if iceweasel crashes).
I'm using debian version 6.0.2.1, a default install and no major configuration changes was done, I'm shutting down via gnome control-alt-del - shutdown.
Any help?
