I'm trying to shutdown my Fedora 15 host when my virtualbox VM shutsdown to make it easier for my users. Their VM's automatically load on power upIs there a way to detect when the virtual box service stops to trigger Fedora to automatically power down?
View 1 RepliesI 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'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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
technically, this is UNR with lxde installed after extended UNR use. i like being able to hit my power button in gnome, and getting a message asking what you want to do, or cancel if needed. well, in lxde, the shutdown button brings up a similar message. could i map the power button to show that popup in lxde?

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes 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'm running Fedora 15 64bit, with Gnome3 and an extension which puts the Shutdown link back where it should be the problem is that 95% of the time, when I shutdown the system it just hangs.If I press ESC then I just get a flashing cursor and pressing it again returns me to the Fedora logo on the blue background. There is no HDD activity and I then have to perform a hard shutdown (press and hold the power button for 5 seconds) which is not ideal.

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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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).

Recently upgraded to Fedora 12 and I installed the Moblin Desktop Environment with
Code:
yum groupinstall "Moblin Desktop Environment" The DE works but there are no applications of anykind installed except for volume control and network devices, I can't even log out or shutdown without switching to a TTY.
I have used moblin before and I'm assuming I am just missing some part of the environment? How can I get those base apps installed?
I run fedora 11, on KDE recently after an update the option to shut-down or restart has disappeared, I have to log out and then shut down. Its things like this that make me think fedora is emulating Microsoft grrrrrr. How do I get it back? Why was it removed in the first place?
