Fedora has been pretty stable for me but in last days I had a couple freezes on my machine using vlc.
Remembering the trick Alt+PrintScreen and pressing the keys REISUB in sequence can shut down the machine in safely way, I tried thiat but in Fedora 14 doesn't work. The trick has gone?.
Being able to use magic keys is critical when video drivers are buggy. How can I enable them on Fedora 14?

This also happens with restart does anyone else have this problem or am i missing something ?? Just to clarify im clicking on the power icon in the top right then selecting shut down in the menu (not the power button on my computer).

View 9 Replies View RelatedOfflate 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
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI disabled autologin as one suggestion on how to get the machine to shut down.
But now, I cannot get to the system, except at a command prompt, and gdm will not give the display. I can login, but cannot do anything else, including getting to a desktop or to the administration section to recheck the autologin option.
How do I do this?
I recently got my laptop setup as an Ubuntu machine, but if I just leave it running, after a while I'll look over and see that it has shut down. I have gone through the power management options and I do not see anything there regarding this. So I was wondering if this is a feature in the 10.04 version?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed the guest OS on the redhat 5 with XEN. I found the guest OS can be started on host boot UP, but it cannot be shutdown on host shutdown. so,I need to creat the script to shut down the virtual machine
The script as following:
# Get the VM list
VMLIST=`xm list`
for VM in $VMLIST
do
xm shutdown $VM
# delay a bit the next sequence
sleep 3
done
run the script,the virtual machine can be shutdown, bu at the same time the error info will appear:
Error: Domain 'Name' does not exist.
[Code]...
So,all the strings in the line of the output regard as the Name of VM The script will run the command like "xm shutdown Time(s)" ,"xm shutdown State",and so on. How Can I get the guest OS name in the output of "xm list" I just nend to get the virtual machine name, the script to run the command "xm shutdown windows2003" and "xm shutdown windowsXP" how to find the strings "windows2003" and "windowsXP" when input the command "xm list"
I am running a local webserver mainly for development. I have everything set up. The issue I currently have is that I cannot shut down the machine from the command line. I can issue the command but the machine remains on. I also cannot get to the desktop via VNC.The reason for this, is that there is no monitor attached so Ubuntu says that it is trying to run in Low Graphics Mode. I found this out as I plugged the monitor in to my server.So question is, how do I get around this? How can I set up Ubuntu to get past this, or do I need to install Ubuntu Server?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have been using this tip at URL.. to delete the temporary files created in /tmp for quite a few Fedora versions. But, I just found out that it does not work in F12. Is there are reason why it doesn't work?
You can put this into /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog into the "stop)" section. This will clean up /tmp at every shutdown and keep your disk clean. Please note that you should not run this command when X-Windows is running.
Since the yesterdays updates the boot process lasts terribly long of my Fedora 12 on a x86_64 system. It lasts about 10 minutes or longer. The strangest thing is that if I press keys (any of them) it goes faster (about 1 minute). There are no errors or other things which might be the reason for such a behaver.
View 7 Replies View RelatedFedora Core 12 I must be going mad, but I thought I used to use a command such as:
grep -r ^[a-z] *|grep .....
to do a recursive search to find all files that had lines starting with lower case a to z.
If I try that under FC12 (this is a newish install), it also finds uppercase A to Z.
Is there a collating type sequence or locale that I have incorrectly set?
PS just for info, the following shows the problem:
(Linux)retsol610 :stevet : /home/stevet> echo ABC |grep ^[a-z]
ABC
(Linux)retsol610 :stevet : /home/stevet> echo abc |grep ^[A-Z]
[code]....
ie the whole range matching seems a bit 'screwy'. A-z should give x01-x58 so A-z should be be valid and include a couple of spcial chars - but gives a range error. On the other hand, a-Z should pose a problem as that's a backward range - but that seems to search ok.
Does any one else get this in FC12 (I've just tried in RH EL5 and grep ^[a-z] ... works fine)? My locale is:
LANG=en_GB.iso885915
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.iso885915"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.iso885915"
LC_TIME="en_GB.iso885915"

I have an external HDD which I use under Fedora. After finishing with my work, I unmount all the mounted partitions of the external HDD & then proceed to switch it off. The HDD partitions are unmounted but they are still visible(but not mounted) under computer. The HDD still seems to spin. But when I click on "Safely Remove Drive" they disappear from Computer & also the HDD stops spinning albeit the switch on HDD being powered on. So what should I use "Unmount" or "Safely Remove". What is the difference between the two?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been using Gnome for several years and haven't had any real problems with it. Now, however, I find the descriptions of what Gnome 3 and the Gnome Shell quite unsettling. That is, the Gnome devs have added a number of things I don't want, removed things I do want and made it impossible to configure Gnome 3 to work anywhere near what I want without adding unsupported third-party extensions. (Note: this is neither a complaint nor a flame; it's just a statement of my personal taste and any attempts to argue about it will be ignored.)
Currently, I have installed XFCE and am very happy with it on my two F14 boxes. I know that if and when I move to F15 (or F16 if 15 continues to be as problematic as it is so far) the upgrade will include Gnome 3, even though I don't use it. I'd like, therefore, to remove it but without removing any bits and pieces of it that are needed by whatever programs I'm using. What's the safest way to do this?
I have been enjoying Fedora 11 for sometime, and decided to try Fedora 12. All in all it is working, but the boot sequence seemed much slower. I decided to use bootchart to examine the boot process on my old F11 and new F12 installations. The result show F11 booting in ~34 seconds, and F12 booting in ~57 seconds. Interestingly, the first 30 seconds show that only kthreadd, khelper, and ata/0 are running. CPU and disk utilization are both zero during this 30 seconds span, then all of a sudden everything starts loading, CPU and Disk utilization spike up, and ~23 seconds later I get to the login screen. I sent an email to Harald Hoyer about this, and to my surprise he was kind enough to respond. He suggested I check the BIOS to make sure I had disabled the floppy drive, which I did. The problem persists, so I was wondering if anyone here was having a similar issue and if so how they have dealt with it. I have blacklisted the floppy module (just to make sure)

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat's the best way to get a list of the start order of services from systemd? Yes, I've tried
Code:
systemctl --order
This looks like the output I would expect, except that if that list is the system service start order, then my system is hosed. I certainly hope that my system is not starting nfs service before all the /usr/export filesystems are mounted.
I tried
Code:
systemd --test --system
but that generates over 22 thousand lines of gibberish! I filtered that with
Code:
systemd --test --system | grep -- -> | grep Unit | grep -i service
And it's less gibberish, but it's ALMOST the reverse order of the first command, and still pretty crazy.Ultimately, I need to discover, and fix the order of the services started by systemd, because they were mangled during the upgrade from Fedora 14 I hope that "systemctl --order" is either not the real deal, or I'm reading it wrong. Because if it is, I'm afraid I have a huge problem to fix.
Although I tried to upgrade from Fedora 14 to 15 using Pre-Upgrade, my system does not find Fedora 15 at the end when the Pre-up-grade sequence. On the very last step when Pre upgrade reboots my computer it just goes straight back into Fedora 14. No choices (Fedora 14 or Fedora 15 Upgrade Kernel) are shown.
