General :: Evolution Opens Then Instantly Closes Itself Again?
Apr 24, 2011Evolution was working properly but now whenever I try to open it the program opens, flashes up on the screen then disappears. If I click on the little envelope at the top of the screen I can get both the compose new message screen and also the contacts to open, but not the main mail program. If I open the contacts screen and click on the mail button to switch to it that way, the program instantly disappears again. I have also tried applications/office/evolution but that has the same result.

Apr 22, 2010I cannot locate shutdown log for Linux shutdown to check various activities carried out during shutdown. I can view Startup Log which is availble on console>Applications>System Tools>System Logs.
I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.
I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.
That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.
Ubuntu :: How Do Settings Get Applied Instantly
May 7, 2011I've been a Windows user for many years. I began using Ubuntu/Linux only recently.I noticed that on Ubuntu, all manner of setting changes get applied instantly. In CompizConfig Settings Manager, for example. Almost everywhere in Ubuntu, settings seem to apply instantly, without having to click an Apply or OK.
I wonder how that is possible. I have never seen that in Windows. I tried searching for an answer on the net, but got nowhere. Can anyone give me an answer? I'm not looking for a technical answer. Just wondering if it is specific to Linux/Unix.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: Sudo Forgets Password Instantly / Why Is So?
Feb 2, 2011I have two machines running Debian Squeeze (a laptop and a desktop). On my laptop sudo works fine, however on my desktop sudo doesn't remember my password for 1 second!!! I have created a script for the upgrade procedure with apt (to make things easier). The script is nothing more than a few commands separated by operators. It is completely useless if I have to enter my password six times while my script is running.
I tried to add timestamp_timeout=15 to the sudoers but it didn't help.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be?
Ubuntu Installation :: Windows 7 Instantly Bluescreens And Reboots After Using 10.04?
Aug 2, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 on my laptop about a month back and I have been very, very pleased with its maturity and stability. However, I have seem to have hit a snag with my ventures into desktop Linux: I also dual-boot Windows 7 Professional x64, and it seems that every time I run Ubuntu 10.04, Windows 7 will immediately bluescreen on boot, reboot, and then be fine. I'm not sure what kind of harm this could be doing to the system, but it strikes me as very odd, and it's something I would like to resolve.
I have suspected this may have to do with mounting NTFS drives under Ubuntu, because my Windows OS and all of my media is stored on NTFS partitions. Needless to say, I would really rather not change this, because NTFS seems to be one of the few filesystems with large-file-support that will run with ease under Windows and Linux.
I have tried removing my main Windows 7 OS partition from the fstab in Ubuntu to see if that made any difference, but the problem persists. Could a secondary NTFS media partition mounted in Ubuntu really cause these sort of issues?
Ubuntu :: Suspend / Hibernate Instantly Reboots Computer?
Oct 25, 2010A weird problem arose a few months ago in my box and has plagued me ever since: the PC immediately reboots whenever I try to suspend or hibernate Ubuntu. It's actually instantaneous, as if I pushed the reset button.Way more days into googling than I wished I had to, I have tried just about every solution related to suspension/hibernation problems,but none really applies to the exact situation I'm experiencing, since most are about being unable to resume after suspending/hibernating, and in my case it seems the system is instantly killed and therefore doesn't even start said operation.
After rebooting, applications behave exactly as when the PC is hard-reset, which I think is an indication that running processes aren't being properly terminated and the system is just going down abruptly (if the less-than-a-second it takes to go down and restart the boot sequence isn't obvious enough).Before you ask:
everything was working fine before;
upgraded to Maverick but the problem remained;
every suspend/hibernate method that I know of (GUI, CLI) does the same;
can't easily test in another OS since I only have Ubuntu installed (no dual-boot or the like);swap partition is larger than RAM; /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume is pointing to the correct swap UUID;
tried several SUSPEND_METHODS and video-related options in /etc/default/acpi-support;
enabling/disabling the acpid and acpi_support services in BUM (Boot-Up Manager) has no effect;
enabling/disabling BIOS STR (Suspend-To-RAM)-related options has no effect;
unsetting NvAGP or setting it to 1 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no effect;
adding/removing the agpgart and intel_agp modules to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf has no effect;
installing the hibernate package has no effect;
not sure what I'd be looking for, but nothing strikes me as relevant in /var/log/messages.
This is really strange. May it be a hardware failure of some sort? What else can I try to work this one out or at the very least understand what's happening?
Slackware :: X Freezes (xfce) Instantly After Kernel Rebuild?
Dec 16, 2010New build of Slackware 13.1 x86_64 in Dell E4310 laptop. The stock install works fine barring a few bits of hardware but after recompiling the kernel X loads and immediately freezes, whence I need to soft power down (I cannot switch back to a console). On capturing stderr from the command line, when executing startx I get various warnings including:(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2368): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failedCan't really tell if the above is relevant... Sorry I can't dump the lot because the machine isn't on the net yet.
There is nothing errorwise in the Xorg log after a reboot. The very last line relates to a video mode with modeline info etc. I have compiled either into the kernel, or as modules everything I think I need though unfortunately I seem to have to load them all manually, so I hav no idea of I've missed something important. This includes all the Intel drivers i915, drm, intel_agp etc.Googling suggests bugs with polkit and I don't know why gnome has anything to do with my system in any case.Other thing that I find annoying is that xorg.conf no longer exists and I am relying on the HAL daemon, about which I know nothing. It took me ages to find how to change the X keyboard map - very frustrating. How do I confirm which video driver etc.?
Server :: Shutdown The Nodes From The Master Terminal Using "shutdown -h Now" Get Shutdown?
Dec 10, 2010I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: System Instantly Crashing At Times / Solve This?
Jun 4, 2011For the last 4-5 weeks my cpu will suddenly turn off, not shutdown, just instantly go off.
It has happened when I've been browsing and even when I have not been at the computer. I know it could be a hardware malfunction, but I started seeing some consistency in it's crashes the last two weeks.
During Skype, more and more, it would crash. And then I whenever I would upload more than 3 MP3 files to Amazon Cloud Music Player It would crash in the same way.
I downgraded off Tumblweed this morning and it seems to be working better. It has crashed once, but it completed uploading 12 tracks to Amazon, which it had not been able to before.
I'm running KDE 4.6.3 currently and Firefox 4.0.1 with Skype 2.2.0.25-suse111. I was using kernel ..39, now I'm on ..37.
I'm content to stick with the 11.4 repos and ..37 kernel. But I would love to hear if anyone else has had these issues, or a suggestion to solve this?

Dec 11, 2009I am looking for some easy to use cross-platform audio software that can send live audio from my Windows XP PC to other computers (laptop/netbook/MID) in the network. Mine MID is Meamo Linux device. When I mean audio, I talking about whatever is coming out mine PC sound card at any point (music, video's audio, XP sounds clicks, etc). Also, the audio MUST BE live, aka no delay between between computer.Basically, the idea to is to "send/stream" audio to other PC over wifi/network so all the sounds are sync. Sort of like a whole house audio system, but one that uses computers so I don't need to buy any additional equipment. Also, it would be nice if the client software worked on other OS, like Linux.I have been looking some software solutions with no luck. I tried UPnp (shoutcast/Icecast) servers, however all of them have 1 Sec to 10 second of delay.Again, I am looking for something instant.I have also looked at pulse audio, however the setup seem too complicated for Windows especially.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: No More SATA - Releases Freeze Up Almost Instantly After Loading The Kernel
Apr 13, 2011I'm trying to install Debian 6.0.1a (64bit) onto a machine that had Debian 5.08. It freezes up almost immediately after loading the kernel. The last line, about 2.6 seconds in, is where it found a SATA drive. (There are two SATA drives). This is a Tyan S2912 with Opteron 2347HE. It seems to be kernel release related. I tried the 5.08 disc again, and it works OK.
With other distros, such as Opensuse and Ubuntu, I have the same problem. The newer releases freeze up almost instantly after loading the kernel. Am I stuck with IDE drives or older kernels? I wanted to try something newer as the fonts in the 5.0.8 release were barely legible. It gave me nauseating headaches within a couple of hours of looking at it. My wife couldn't stand to see it when she came by. I've tried every bios setting change I could think of without a solution.

May 14, 2011I just installed 5.6 using the x86_64 netinstall - all appeared to go well, albeit a little slowly. At the end of the install i rebooted the machine but CentOS won't load. If I select the CentOS option from grub (only other option is 'other') the machine instantly reboots.
Only options selected for install where 'server' and 'server gui'.
Editing the CentOS options shows the following but I've no idea whether this is correct or not (assume it is):

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: [FYI] "last -f <old Wtmp> -x Reboot Shutdown" Incorrect For Last Reboot And Shutdown?
Mar 25, 2010Further to this LQ thread which Tinkster solved by suggesting the last command (thanks Tinkster) I have been exploring last -x reboot and have found that the reported duration is incorrect for the last reboot and shutdown when a old wtmp file is used. Not having a record for the following shutdown, last assumes that the system has been up until the current time and similarly for the shutdown.
The output comes in time order, latest first, each line showing the time of the reboot and the uptime from then to shutdown. Using last -x reboot shutdown to show the shutdown time, here's an illustration
Code:
shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Sun Mar 7 15:35 - 03:02 (11:27)
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Sun Mar 7 09:35 (05:59)
09:35 until 15:35 is 05:59.
When the uptime exceeds 24 hours it is shown as (<days>+<hours:minutes) like this
Code:
shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Sun Feb 21 12:39 - 13:20 (00:40)
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Sat Feb 20 09:39 (1+02:59)
09:39 until 12:39 the next day is 1 day 02:59.
The time in parentheses at the end of the shutdown lines is normally the time until the next shutdown.
So far so good. The incorrect output is for the last reboot and shutdown of an old wtmp file. Here's the output of last /var/log/wtmp -x reboot shutdown; last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 -x reboot shutdown
Code:
[snip]
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Fri Mar 12 07:42 (01:54)
shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Fri Mar 12 01:31 - 09:37 (08:05)
wtmp begins Thu Mar 11 08:25:26 2010
[snip]
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Wed Mar 10 14:12 (15+01:42)
shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Wed Mar 10 12:41 - 15:54 (15+03:13)
[snip]
The boot started at "Wed Mar 10 14:12" which had an actual uptime of 1 day 11:20 is reported as 15 days 03:13 which is the time from then until the last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 -x reboot shutdown command was issued. The time from shutdown to shutdown is similarly affected.
