Fedora Hardware :: Why Isn't F14 KDE Put Computer Into Sleep Mode Like Gnome?
May 26, 2011
Gnome would sleep after specified 10 min and put this machine into <1 Wt saving mode.KDE just invokes screensaver and turns off display. It won't even spin down HDDs.There are no profiles in KDE power settings and I can't create any - create button works, but 'new profile' dialogue does not actually create any profiles.This is a brand new default install of F14 on AMD 890 chipset.
after totem is done playing a movie from my external harddrive ( usb 2.0 750 gb Western Digital HDD) the computer screen will go blank but the computer will not suspend or hibernate. I have gnome-power-manager to go to suspend after 30 min of inactivity. I will usually fall asleep during the movie and the laptop will remain on. I will wake up to find the laptop on for the whole night and that it didn't go to sleep or suspend power after the movie stopped. Note ** I have already tried reinstalling gnome-power-manager & totem ... Also have turned on and off Dbus plugin, and totem is not set to always on top.
i'm having this problem:when i put Fedora to sleep the system disconnect all my usb (or so i think)basically i can't wake up my computer becouse there is no where to do it.it gets back to normal after i power it off/on...how can i fix this?please since i'm new both to fedora and linux try to be detailed with the explanations, or there is a good chance i won't understand a thing
I upgraded to fedora 11 from fedora 10 yesterday, I like it ok but when I put the machine in sleep mode and then go to turn it back on it comes up to the log in screen and thats it its frozen. I hate to completely shut down the machine every time I get off.
I have Fedora 10 x86_64 installed on my Think Pad T61p and when ever I put it to sleep and then try to wake it back up, it doesn't wake back up, all I get is a blank screen
I'M using F14 x86_64 and my problem is suspending. When I closed my laptop lid its going black screen and my hdd led is lighting I think my hdd is working hard and I think my cpu is working hard too so fan is working fast and my notebok is going hot.Any key is working on black screen. I must shut down hard .y computer has i5 and ati 5650. WHen I was using Mint 10, it has going sleep well
"Sleep" is not supposed to permanently kill off the network service. restarting the NetworkManager / network services DOES NOT WORK. Why this blatent and crippling bug is allowed tp persist? I dont want to "rasberry reboot" like windows, this has been the only forced reboot
Asus u43f wont go into sleep/suspend mode. Either manually from the shut down menu or by closing the lid. the screen will turn off but the various lights do not turn of and hard drive continue to spin.
I found this suggested test with a google search but no fix
sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh
which returned:
cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/system-manufacturer: No such file or directory cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/system-product-name: No such file or directory cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/system-version: No such file or directory cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/bios-version: No such file or directory
Since installing 10.04 yesterday my laptop will not wake correctly from sleep mode. Opening the lid wakes the machine up but the graphics are all wrong. Loads of tightly packed horizontal lines. Turning the machine off and restarting makes all ok. It's only on wake up does the problem happen. The laptop is an Acer 1652,with an ATI Mobile Radeon X300 graphics card. Intel Pentium M.
I'm on the computer for 15 min, and then it randomly goes into a sleep mode, and I can't recover it (system lights are on, monitor on, mouse/keyboard fine). I've replaced pulseaudio with alsa, and whenever I go into the screensavers tab to disable sleep mode, the computer does its thing and randomly goes to sleep. This is REALLY frustrating because I leave the computer on for downloads, but when I come to check on them the computer has gone to sleep, and I et corrupted files on my HDD. How to disable sleep from terminal?
I have to questions: I am new with Linux and using ubuntu on my laptop computer. when i reopen my leptops cover after i closed it, meaning - putting computer to sleep, every thing is working, but the screen is black and nothing is seen. No matter what i tried to do, i cant make it to "wake up".
Using the computers battery, with no electric supply, the battery time is only half of what i get when using windows. i tried using less lumination but it didnt seem to help.
My screen has started going into sleep mode if the computer is idle for around ten minutes - sometimes longer, no discernable pattern. The setting is of course set to 'never' in System / Preferences / Power Management
1. start Firefox, but it goes into sleep mode. no matter reboot machine, etc.
2. after entered a static IP address in network manager, fedora hanged in boot process, halted in "send email" which is one of many processes at boot up.
Used DHCP, can ping to other PC in LAN, but can't go internet.
Linux downloaded new updates and worked perfectly. Next time I started mint, just before the login screen appears display says No Signal and goes in sleep mode. I think that mint downloaded somekind of display driver update wich is not compatible with my driver card. I can't see desktop, I just hear the login sound and that's all. What should I do? I'm new with linux.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 on an IBM ThinkPad t43. I have a 9 volt battery that I use only occasionally. Usually I use the AC connection and when I'm finished working I leave the laptop in "sleep" mode. (Not always, but often.) When using the AC is it okay to leave the battery in the computer or is it better to remove it? Some swear it shortens the battery's life to leave it installed when not in use. Others swear--with equal fervor--that the newer ion batteries know when they are fully charged and don't have to be removed. Which is true? It's inconvenient to keep taking the battery in and out, but if it's necessary to prolong it's life I guess it's worth it. Some clarity good because, as I said, you can find equally impassioned arguments for both sides of this issue.
When ever my computer goes to sleep it becomes unresponsive. No mouse or keyboard click wakes it up. The only thing I can do is press the power button which makes it completely reboot. This is killing my productivity. Anyone have any tips on how to make this function correctly?
I recently came to Debian. As I have an ati card, I tried the proprietary drivers first, but then came back to radeon (open-source). In the process, I think I may have broke my xorg.conf . Sometimes, when the monitor goes into sleep mode, when I came back, the screen remains black (sometimes I see just the cursor).
Here is my xorg.conf # NOXORGCONFEXISTED: No X.org configuration file existed when this backup was created.
Also, I have lots of backups in my X11 folder, like xorg.conf.fglrx-3, xorg.conf.original-1, or backup.xorg.conf. Is it safe to remove them? What should I do about the main xorg.conf?
Recently did a fresh installation of Maverick 10.10.and have hopefully everything including the updates, etc.But...I have the following problems, Not been able to get the "auto-login" to work ...(systems/administration/login screen), and I've unable to switch off the "sleep mode", of which I tried to change in..systems/preferences/power management).
Installed Squeeze into my Thinkpad T410 and noticed that when I closed the laptop lid, the moon icon does not light up.Reopening the lid and will see a screensaver password screen immediately.Does this means that the laptop does not have Sleep (or is it called hibernate) mode enable? How can I enable it?[Solved]Managed to found out what I've done wrongFor KDE users, go to the menu-> Power Management-> Chose the Profile as Powersave
I've tried ubuntu, kubuntu, fedora and linux mint. all 64 bit versions. I've also tried to suspend through applications like acpitool. But nothing works. When I click on Suspend, the screen goes blank but the computer is still running. The wireless network adaptor gets disabled for a second and then comes back on. All I have to do is press a key and I get the unlock screen prompt. Basically, suspend works like 'Lock Screen'. I have a HP Pavillion laptop. Core 2 Duo @ 2 GHz and 4 GB RAM.
The question is instead of shotgunning the problem should I start with replacing the hard drive or the motherboard or the processor. Is there a way to tell what is blown? The house took a direct hit and most electronics were fried. The main problem is that I set the computer to never go to sleep and it does every few minutes and I have to log back on quite often. Several games no longer play or just quit in the middle of the game and sends me back to the desktop. I haven't tried to do everything yet so I don't know of other problems. I don't have a lot of extra money so I only want to replace what I have to. The computer is a Dell Inspiron with 2.5 Gb processor and an Nvidia card ordered from Dell with Ubuntu 10.4 installed.
anyway, been using lubuntu for a week after instaiing it instead of ubuntu as that was running to slow and its been really good, intsllad a few programs (wine, filezilla, kompozer, devede)but when I turn on the computer today, it boots into GRUB and i select lubuntu, and afer a few moments the monitor goes to sleep as there is "no signal"it does the same on recovery mode, after displaying a few lines of command firstI can still boot into windows
Many processes enter in disk sleep mode and stops (Hang) and return to work after 10 to 20 seconds.
In System Monitor i get "Disk Sleep" like this:
My PC specifications: Ram: 4GB Hard Disk: 1024GB Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 Display: ATI HD 4670 Motherbord: Gigabyte System: openSUSE 11.2 x86_64
The problem still exists after system update and i try run other distributions like kubuntu and i don't get this error. I also change Hard Disk but the problem is still ongoing.
