General :: Hibernate And Automatic Shutdown Does Not Work / Get It?
Jun 29, 2011
I have installed Ubuntu as wubi (next to windows 7). When I expect the computer to shut down (either to hibernate or as part of, you know, shutdown), it doesn't. All the programs end, I am logged out, but I still have a picture on the screen (ubuntu default picture).
I'm trying to make the power manager NOT automatically shutdown / sleep / hibernate when battery power of my laptop reaches critical
I am surprised there isnt an 'NO ACTION' option for that in power manager
I've tried editing the acpi-supper in /etc/default bu couldn't find a solution in there nor in the /home/user/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager/ directory
I have installed Fedora 15 Alpha with GNOME 3. Everything is working fine. However, I can't see any option to hibernate or shutdown.
In the top panel when I click my user name, I only have one option and that is to suspend. Normally I like to hibernate or shutdown. And I can't see any option of what to do when I close my netbook. Normally, I prefer to hibernate.
My question is simple, is it possible to enable and disable automatic sleep/hibernate/standby using BASH? I need it for a bash script.Been searching for a while now, can't seem to find it.
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Rasheed and i am from UAE, after not having any reply from a week in Fedora's official forum i came across the linuxquestions through google and hoping to help others and resolve my issues as well with the help of experts here. So here is my problem what i am currently having. I am going through a serious issue right now. My laptop crashes when SUSPEND/HIBERNATE or unplugging the laptop's charger.
after having far too many problems with other brown-coloured distros, I moved my MythTV box to SuSE (what all the other machines here use). Everything is working, EXCEPT for one thing: automatic idle shutdown. I cannot get MythWelcome to shut down the machine automatically (choosing shutdown now from it's menu does work). The log shows sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo (sudo -n) or the infamous "no tty and no askpass". (plain sudo)
I have added /sbin/shutdown to the sudoers file, and I can run sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now from the terminal and shutdown without a password... but sudo will NOT run from mythtv. I've even tried adding a special exception to the sudoers file, "Defaults !requiretty" with no luck. This is a dedicated frontend/backend with no user access (doesn't boot a desktop manager; goes straight to Mythtv) so I'm no too worried about potential security; the machine is on a LAN and cannot be accessed from the WAN side.
Is there a way to take a screenshot just before the "shutdown" terminal command? for example "sudo shutdown -h 90" for 90 minutes timer shutdown, and just before turning off to take a screenshot.
For some reason the shutdown/hibernate/logout options has disappeared from the Indicator session. I can still set my status in EmpathyI have tried reverting to gnome panel defaults (gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel), removing and readding and I've checked synaptics and it seems I have everything indicator-related installed.
I found this script on another forum post (HERE) from a couple of years back.It doesn't work anymore for some reason and I'm looking for some assistance in making it work now. I really need to cut down my electric bill and my son is constantly leaving his desktop on for hours on end.Any gurus out there up to the challenge?I am attempting to re-write the "inactive=" line using w instead of who but I'm not having much luck yet.
I'm trying to make my system automatically shutdown once the battery level is low, but still without success. I've tried kpowersave, gnome-power-manager, kpower, klaptop but none of these worked for me. Well, I can't imagine I would be that stupid, but simply it doesn't work. In all cases mentioned above (kpower, klaptop, gnome-power-manager) I've tried to setup the laptop to shutdown once the defined level is reached, but the laptop never actually switched off unless all the battery was drained.
Btw. I think all the above mentioned apps only work once the user is logged in. But I'd like the solution to work also when the PC is on without anyone logged in. I thought I could write a bash script based on parsing of acpitools output and define it as a service, which would monitor the battery level, but I simply don't believe there isn't any functional solution to this.
i want to remove shutdown/restart/hibernate buttons from my gdm login screen on ubuntu 10.10. if i disable these buttons with ubuntu tweak or gdm2setup it is just ignored and all buttons are still there.
When I try to hibernate, the computer just goes to a blank, black screen and doesn't turn off. I have to hold the power button to get it to shut down, and when I turn it back on none of the programs running before hibernation have been saved.
I'm using pm-hibernate, and would like to reboot the machine after it's done hibernating, rather than having the machine turn off.Is there a way to do this with pm-hibernate, or any other Linux hibernate thing?
I'm getting some trouble with Wake on Lan. The main question is: when I shutdown a PC through Windows, the WOL works well, but it doesn't happen when I shutdwon the same PC through Linux. It happens in all of my PCs here in the company.
Gigabyte P55-USB3 mobo, ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series graphics card, 8 GB ram
Ubuntu installed after Win7. Dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu 10.04, shared NFTS partition for Downloads and Documents, Grub setup to load Ubuntu by default. I can use the option to hibernate in Windows (but it is disabled by default). I would very much like to enable the "Hibernate" function on this machine, but there is no option for it in the menus. "sudo shutdown now" in a Terminal results in a screen that resembles the login screen background, but the machine is completely irresponsive and must be silenced by long-pressing the physical power button. When I use the GUI to shut down, everything works fine. Perhaps related: When waking the machine from the screen saver, the login window does not turn up before I press the "Esc" button. I am using a standard Gnome screen saver. Perhaps related: The Grub boot screen is getting more and more options every time the Linux kernel is updated.
When i use the shutdown-command in the terminal as root, it nearly works. It starts to shut down, and it looks like all programs and the kernels shuts down. I end up with a black screen, sometimes with the ubuntu-logo on, but it never powers off. I have to force it off by holding the power button. When i use the graphical interface to shut it down, it works perfectly. The poweroff-command works without problem too.
i have a dell mini 9 (1GB RAM) and hibernation does not work. It just comes up with an error saying that there is not enough space i have just done a fresh install and formatted everything though!
my Eee PC has various troubles with the current Lucid kernel (2.6.32). These include, that the wifi won't work and that I can't use hibernate. A netbook without wifi is a little bit useless I even tried the usual bugfixes, that you can find in the web (installing the original RAlink drivers, updating to 2.6.33), but nothing really worked.As a consequence, I downgraded to Karmic again, were everything just worked fine.My question is now, is it possible to run Lucid with the older kernel available in Karmic?
when i try and hibernate it says the space is not large enough however i have 4GB of space free and ONLY 1GB of RAM (it's a netbook).how can i get it to hibernate?
I Installed Ubuntu 10.04 with Logical Volume Management last month and then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and noticed that I have been loosing power faster than I have been used to. I have realized that I didn't have a hibernate option. I should be able to hibernate because I have over 5 GB LVM swap partition and only 2 GB of ram on my Laptop. How do I get the hibernate feature back?
EDIT the original installation was with encrypted home but I moved off of the encrypted home.
I've been running 6.0.2 amd64 stable since release day and recently have noticed my suspend and hibernate do not work. Normally I have transmission running and have set it to not enter sleep mode while torrents are active. However today I have not had transmission and was wanting to see if the sleep mode options would kick in. So I have set my display to "sleep when inactive for" 5 mins (this works perfect) I have set "put computer to sleep when inactive for" 10 mins (this does not work at all)
When I try to manually test suspend my display flashes black for a few seconds but remains backlit, then asks me to log back in When I manually go into hibernate mode my display turns off, pops back on for a second and in a terminal says something about a usb device (something failed but it happens so fast I cannot read it)
My desktop is a Compaq CQ5110F. It's a dual boot system and Fedora 11 resides on sda3 of hard disk (WD 3200AAJS-6).Both suspend and hibernate don't work, but the symptoms are different. For hibernate, after resume, there are some messages (??) about register errors quickly flashed on the screen, then the logon window shows but the system hangs. For suspend, I cannot wake up the system by hitting some keys on the keyboard. After I press the power button, LCD doesn't get any signal. I remember hibernate worked when I was using Fedora10, but wireless card did not automatically reconnect at that time. Also hibernate works fine for vista.
I am using Xubuntu 9.10, 2.6.31-17-generic kernel. Video driver: "ati".I have only been using Linux for less than a year now but I have never been able to get hibernate mode working. Had the same problem on previous kernels and with Nvidia drivers. Tonight I tried removing all traces of any nvidia drivers hiding in my system (I recently changed to an ATI card), and also upgrading to grub 2. Still no luck.If I use the "hibernate" option from the shutdown menu, I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor. If I use s2disk, I get a little bit more of a hint, but still not very helpful. Then it just locks up after that. Power is still on and it never shuts down. I have a 6 gig swap partition set up that is enabled, so it is definitely not a swap issue.
I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 (amd64) on my MacBook 3,1 (1GB memory). Most things work perfectly on install, and I've got the iSight working now too!
However, although suspend works fine, hibernate does not. When I try to hibernate, the screen goes blank with the back light on for a few seconds, then the screen goes off completely for about 0.1 of a scond and I hear the optical drive whirr (like it does when booting), and then about 4 or 5 seconds after that it finally powers off.
Then, when I restart, I see the rEFIt menu, then the GRUB menu and it appears to boot like normal and *not* resume from hibernate!
I'm not sure what log I should look in? When I look in /var/log/pm-suspend.log the last line says "performing hibernate", but there's nothing about even attempting to resume.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention, I have a swap partition that is larger than 1GB.
UPDATE 2: Also, after attempting to hibernate, when the system restarts, WiFi has been disabled -- I have to double-tap (right-click) on the WiFi icon and re-enable it. I *think* this is because the hibernate process disables networking, but it then fails to re-enable it because is fails to resume.
The OS is Lucid 64-bit . Before I begin I must say suspend/hibernate works fine with 3 other machines, so I'm trying to find out what's wrong with this one. I tried [URL].. and also I tried changing acpi-support. It currently is as this:
How do I enable suspend in Lenny currently I can shut down or hibernate. In ubuntu on a different computer I can suspend which resumes very quickly can this work on Lenny also it does not hibernate properly anyway, there are error messages.
