I want to get the time from power on system to showing user login view in Linux, how to do? Can it work only with shell?

I'm using the Linux Starter Kit with Ubantu Live 9.10. My PC was having issues so I skipped the dual boot and went straight to a clean install. I had to double click on WUBI in the disk directory to get the install started. Install appeared to be going fine about 60%... then I got distracted to fix lunch for sick kid. When I came back screen was black and I could not wake up screen with mouse or keyboard. I turned off PC.. restarted and have message that says NO ROM BASIC System Halted.

This time I still had to enter a password before it could reboot.Another thing...when it the ethernet cable was connected to the computer (internet connection was on) it was slow when it was unplugged it was not.I have read that unless you're running a server or something it is highly unlikeley you'll be hacked.

Swap waiting for UUID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After a couple of reboots it started working fine, but looking at /etc/fstab the entry for swap is different to the UUID shown in blkid Do I just update fstab with the UUID from blkid?
Since yesterday my computer behaves really strange. I fear it's a hardware issue. At most I did some minor updates, but no big software or OS change.
When I turn it on it goes immediately to [url]
I guess it reads
Code:
Chasis intruded
Fatal Error... System Halted.
So this happens before the boot manager... When I press the reboot button it goes to the boot manager and works seemingly fine - all I noticed that it doesn't remember the time, or better remembered the time form the last usage but doesn't count it forward. While using the time seems to pass in a normal speed.
What could this be? Some chip on the mainboard broken? Some BIOS virus (does something like that exist?) Or maybe just a cable which got lose?
I don't know which other informations could be helpful. I built it myself some years ago and the parts are pretty random (back then I didn't even know about linux compatibility nor used it at all). I have a dual boot with openSUSE 11.2 and windows xp, but the network card is deactived in xp for a year at least already.
The system asked me to reboot and I just shut down the computer.Some hours ago, I wanted to start the computer and the system halted after the first logo showed of Ubuntu, after 15 minutes waiting, nothing happened. I tried to push keys on the keyboard, nothing helped (I even couldn't put on CAPS or num lock on the keyboard).After a secoind reboot I didn't even saw the Ubuntu logo. When there's a black screen, it just sits there.I have no idea if there was a kernel update (I assume there was, because the system wanted me to reboot)

I've run memtest86 and the RAM passes OK, I've even tried running the install with just 4Gb RAM but without any luck. I've even tried three different CD/DVD drives.10.04 64bit runs from the Live CD without any problems, but 10.10 isn't playing ball...
There is something that I am not getting here. I get the following when I try to start my XP virtual box stuff. I take it that I actually need an XP disk to do this?

I have Fedora12 with dual boot WinXP on my laptop. Everything was working fine but suddenly one day I booted up my system and selected Fedora from boot menu , an error screen came - "[...]ERROR: tried to remove a fb that we didn't own Boot has failed, sleeping forever"
I don't know why It's happening ? The last thing I did on Fedora was to install some packages to start Wi fi and It was working fine from last 2 months, then why suddenly this bug ?
I googled about it but most of the cases are of Live CDs or USBs but in my case I had a whole different space assigned in my hdd for Fedora and everything was supercool.
Does it mean I have to do a fresh install of fedora12 again ?
I'm running Mythbuntu 10.10 on a new build machine.
Everything seems to be running pretty well so far apart from this one issue. It won't powerdown when I try to shutdown the machine.
I've got the nVidia drivers installed (and haven't tried fixing the splash screen yet) so I get the "Ubuntu 10.10" text and the coloured dots when shutting down.
The screen says "System will now halt" and you can then hear the harddrives power down but the display and CPU fan stay on. The only way to shutdown is by holding the power button in.
Interestingly, the system reboots just fine - (I've not tried suspend/hibernate yet).
I've looked at a number of solutions code...
I tried deactivating the proprietary drivers and hoped this wasn't the answer as I need them to run XBMC - shutdown still not working.
So... I'm all out of ideas now.
I've reported this as a bug so if this sounds similar to what you're experiencing please say it affects you too - (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/721706)
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 am trying to initiate a halt of the system from runlevel 3 and have the system stay powered on once the system has been halted. This works on RHEL 5.3 for x86/64 system by typing halt -h. However, this same command in RHEL 5.3 for Power Series will halt the system and power it off. I would like the system to remain powered on and sit at the "Your system has been halted" message. how to accomplish this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed FC14 on my system as I was previously on FC8. Everything seems to be working fine, but I ran into an issue today where I wanted to kill firefox. I checked in gnome system monitor and I did not see a running process for firefox or firefox-bin. I also ran a "ps -e" command from a terminal as root and did not see it there either. I don't know if this is a fedora issue or a firefox issue, so I am posting it here first.
And just to vent on something that IS a firefox issue. I have the new firefox 4 running and when I click the X in the top corner, it doesn't give me the option to save my current tabs and exit like the previous versions did. That was a feature I liked.
Unlike FC14, in FC15 there are very limited options available in Date and Time settings.
I want to see day of the week, date and time with seconds in my clock panel.
I was able to get first two using "gnome-tweak-tool".
But I'm not able to display seconds in the clock.
how to enable seconds in the clock?
I read the manual for systemD and systemctl, and I could not see a way to display the dependencies of local-fs.target. My system hangs at boot, somewhere before the local-fs.target completes. Not only do I know know what is failing, I don't know what it is trying to do.I can boot to the emergency target. But that does not trigger the problem. I have the logging options on, but it FREEZES when I try the local-fs.target, so I never get to open the logs. I'd like to know what it is trying to do, so I can step through manually.
I boot to emergency. Manually start each local-fs.target.wants/* then local-fs.target It waits a long tome for something, then it "works" but does not mount my lvm filesystems. I try again for default.target, and this time local-fs.target fails with a dependency, and the system hangs again. syslog is not available at the time of the hang. What ever is the first fail, is lost when the console scrolls.I's looking a lot like I must do a full reinstall of this system.
what is the command to show the recent system calls in the OS?

But the problem is when I'm either charging or on battery and I would click on the power manager the menu that pops up shows me the percentage of life remaining but does not give me any indication of how long I have until my battery is dead/fully charged.If I were to open up the Power Statistics window there is no information time to full or time to empty. Both are just empty.

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70

I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

Will a Linux operating system lose data during a power failure as does a Windows operating system?
(If yes.) This has not come up before but I'm going to be doing some work I don't want to lose.
Could you either point me to a backup tutorial or give me the quick overview of preserving stuff with Ubuntu?
Ubuntu 10.04 has halted at screen showing progress graphic (Ubuntu name + 5 circles), it just keeps cycling thru this. No disk activity. I booted using live CD, Gparted detected the hard disk. What should I do next? Do a Gparted check and repair? That's assuming it's a disk problem but perhaps it's something else.
The motherboard is fairly old, about 6 years, it's an Aopen AX4SG-N with 4Gb RAM, but it goes thru the bios boot OK, no complaining beeps etc.
I'm thinking of a complete reinstall but would like to check other possibilities first (and maybe work out what happened).
I've got a problem with hibernating my laptop. It manages to copy everything to swap memory, but when it finishes, it won't power off my laptop. I have to manually turn it off (by pressing the power button for a few seconds). If I restart, everything is still there, so the hibernating itself works, but not the powering off part. My laptop is an Asus notebook K52F with Ubuntu 11.04 and Gnome 3.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Compaq Presario 5900Z desktop, circa 1999.
Because of a change to some IDE/SCSI drivers during 2008, no Linux distribution from the fall/autumn of 2008 onward will install on this system using their standard images, every distro I've tried to install this way would report I/O errors. There was a bug report filed on this at Launchpad some time ago. Running the images as Live CD's would work, but the actual install would always fail.
I began this by installing Ubuntu 7.10, then upgrading it to 8.04 LTS. The next step is to upgrade to 10.04 LTS.
When booting up, there is a console message that briefly appears that the BIOS (being from 1999) fails the cutoff (2000) and to enable ACPI, acpi=force must be added to the boot parameters.
The issue is when powering the system off, it will not power off by itself. At one time, there had been a different distro installed on this same system alongside Windows XP and both systems correctly powered the system off when shutting down. Ubuntu keeps the system powered on and I would have to hold in the power button for up to 10 seconds, until it powers off.
I do not know if simply adding acpi=force to the boot parameters will fix this, but I also do not know where to place this. The other distro used on this system actually came with a GUI interface that would allow for something to be added to the parameters. I cannot find anything similar in Ubuntu.
So, my questions are:
1. Will adding acpi=force properly turn the PC off at shutdown?
2. If so, where can this be permanently added to the boot parameters?
I've done a lot of search and already kind of fixed part of the problem, so this is where the fun comes in. I went away for the week, and not until the day I got back I lost power while out, and my computer rebooted after the power outage to Mac osx, which it's supposed to do as I'm using a Mac Pro and have a regular version of OSX 10.5 on there and my ubuntu server. I restart my computer and I get a few errors and my raid5(3 1tb drives) doesn't mount and says read only for everything else. I finally found a way to remount that raid which while in root I could create new folders and move folders, but only on that raid. I wasn't able to do anything with my boot drive. The weird part is, that now I can't ssh into the server and webmin won't even load. I'm still relatively new(little over a year, but honestly, not much has gone wrong to need to troubleshoot) to ubuntu server, so I'm not that best at troubleshooting it. I won't be home till later tonight, but any tips/tricks/ideas I can try when I get home would be great, or if you need any info, I can get it to you.

Q: In suse if you click System in the menus in the top left hand corner all the power operations are there, reboot shutdown etc.
How do I do this on ubuntu - I really really don't like the thingy in the right hand corner...
It appears my profiles are gone, and thus i have got no way in changing settings in the 'Desktop Configuration' (Systems Settings)so, when I go toapp starter --> Configure Desktop --> Power Mgmtthere are NO profiles under 'global settings' or 'power profiles'anyone has got an idea what's cooking here

I'm asking because I'm frequently having to force my system to power down after shutting down from Ubuntu, and I'm concerned that I could be corrupting files and damaging my hardware.
