View 9 RepliesI tried to install suse 11.3 but every time the system shut down in the install process it never finish
I think that the FAN does not work
I have an Acer Aspire 5720z
Recently I installed openSUSE 11.2 (GNOME) on my HP DC7100 machine. I was very excited about it until shortly, when I started discovering the problems.
One of the more severe problems is that I can't shut down the system:
Pressing the "Shut Down" button brings me back to the login screen. From there I still can't shut down, but I also can't log-in any more. The only option left is the hard shut down.
"Restart" sometimes works, but often ends up in the login screen too.
As far as the "Suspend" and "Hibernate" is concerned, I did not experience any problems there.
By the way, after the installation, I consumed all available updates (including the kernel upgrade). I'm not aware it the problem existed before the updates.
A few days ago I installed Nvdia fx 5200 drivers and after that I had on my grub menu Opensuse 2.6.31.8-0.1 Desktop along with Default. Since Desktop worked alright and Default would work only in terminal, I erased Default from Grub menu. Yesterday Update Applet warned about some updates, I installed them and had on Grub menu 2.6.31.12 Desktop with 2.6.31.12 Default. When I wanted to shut down computer, the screen froze. It works when I reboot but if I want to shut down, it doesn't do this, I have to make a forced shut down. How can I solve this problem?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed 11.3 and Gnome yesterday and all went well except that the system will not shut down, it simply reboots. I've tried shutting it down using halt and shutdown now as root and each time the machine reboots. I didn't have this problem with 11.1.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI powered up and saw to my consternation that several Firefox Tabs did not load (server unavailable). I gave it several tries, but it did not work. Hiding Firefox, I saw that KWallet was waiting for a password. After that, I entered the password for SU, and Firefox worked. Then it struck me:
I did not login - repeat: I DID NOT LOGIN - , no username, no password. And the password for KWallet is not the same as my user PW.
If I am correct, openSuSE 11.4 (64 bits) may have security problem. Do: Start Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 Start some application that needs a password stored in KWallet, do not enter the PW Place the Firefox window over the KWallet wind for the PW Do a shutdown via the Icon Wait 30 seconds after power down Turn the power on
If you now enter the session without specifying any user name or PW, then this message has some merit; if not, I will try to duplicate the issue tomorrow.
Just installed Gnome 3.0 on Open Suse 11.4, now can not find "shutdown or restart" tag, having to shutdown computer by using terminal
View 9 Replies View RelatedBrand-new to Linux. Using a computer with openSUSE 11.3 (64-bit) freshly installed. Install went flawlessly without any kind of error messages.
Hardware used: MSI X58 Eclipse, Intel i7-920, 6 GB memory, Seagate 500 GB SATA.
openSUSE is the only OS installed.
After the install is finished, all programs work fine. HOWEVER when I try to shut down/restart the computer nothing happens! I basically have to use the power off button to shut down...
If I click on the shutdown bottom (in my lower panel) I get an new window to choose if I really want to shut down or restart or suspend or hibernate. Under that alternatives there is an text that says: "[...] The system will automatically shut down in 60 seconds." Why is the text "60" not running down like a countdown? Can I set another (shorter) time for the automatic shutdown (10 seconds)? If so, where? Or shut I just make another bottom to shut down immediately?
I use (normally) OpenSuse/SUSE Linux
Release 11.1
Kernel Linux 2.6.27.45-0.1-pae
Gnome 2.24.1
I'm using opensuse 11.2 and a week or so ago it suddenly stopped shutting down the computer, or rebooting. It shuts the screen down and that seems to be it, so I have ti switch it off. However a day or so later it began to reboot when asked, but still won't shut down. I'm dual booting it with Unbuntu 9.04 using grub2, but it's been that way for many months without problems.
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 7 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with KDE.. I go to Main Menu > Leave > Shutdown OR Restart OR Log Off I press
nothing happens...
This started a few days ago when I disabled some services..
Don't know what service is associated...
I tried using command line and everything works...
init 0
shutdown 0
shutdown -r 0
all work and bring down the system but my settings and open applications are not saved.
Recently I reinstalled some packages
Code:
zypper in -f libqt4-x11 kdebase4-workspace kdebase4 libqt4
and erased my debuginfo packages, and now my KDE (gnome is fine) presents the problem stated in this thread: KDE logoff dialog: no shutdown option - openSUSE Forums
I have a clean install of 11.4 64 bit updated with factory and tumbleweed. Updated to kde 4.6.2 (from 4.6.1) yesterday using factory. The update worked fine with the exception of shutting down. When I press the shut down button it closes kde and takes me to a terminal window logon. So I have been switching to root and init 0. The re-start option (from kde) works fine.
I rolled my system back to kde 4.6.1 and it shut down without any problems. I thought that it might be a problem with me using factory to upgrade to kde 4.6.2 - so I switched back to kde 4.6.2 using the kde repo at:- Index of /repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_11.4
Same problem in shutting down. So I again rolled back to kde 4.6.1 (which again came from factory) and no problems. The only thing that I can see that is different is when I log out of kde and there is the (kdm) screen login, on the bottom left there are the different systems available. For kde this used to show:-
but now just shows the two plasma options. Is this were my problem lies or is this standard were someone has upgraded to kde 4.6.2.
When I shut-down the computer from OpenSuse 11.4, it does log out and exit the operating system but the computer does not turn off. Can this possibly be corrected?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just installed opensuse 11.3 on my box and it refuses to shut down. It shows a tty screen with the message "power down" but wont power off. After searching the web I found no solution until I compared the "halt" scripts of versions 11.3 and 11.2 (they are located in /etc/init.d). Both scripts differ only by a couple of lines that make reference to raid devices. As I am not using any RAID array in my BIOS, I copied my halt script (version 11.2) on top of the version 11.3 halt script and my box started to shut down and power off nicely! At least for me it worked!
View 28 Replies View RelatedI've been running 11.3 on a net book for several weeks and have not had this happen on that computer. On a different computer, which was upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3, now requires a root password to shut down the computer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've installed Ubuntu 9.10 approx 1 week ago and it's been fine. Last night, Ubuntu froze while I was running several programs. I wasn't sure how to pull up any type of 'task manager' and the mouse didn't move so after several minutes I was forced to hard reboot the computer. Grub starts and allows me to select Ubuntu but won't get past the log-in screen (allows me to log-in but freezes immediately after hitting enter). I started the recovery mode and the errors show what I believe to be sector errors (?)Do I need to run a 'chkdsk' from Windows or re-install Ubuntu? If deleting/un-installing Ubuntu (through Wubi) is necessary, is this a problem directly related to Wubi (i.e. is a clean install on a seperate partition better than installing through Wubi)?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Latitude D610, installed Ubuntu 9.10 with wubi and Win XP professional. I had only one problem booting which was fixed immediately by meierfra, but now the Ubuntu won't shut down. The final message is "ubuntu 9.10 login", then the screen freezes.Oddly when I restart from Ubuntu it shuts down enough to reboot into either Windows or back into Ubuntu. To shut down from Ubuntu I'm now holding down the start switch until the machine stops. effective but inelegant.

I have checked the following for this issue.1) I have tried acpi=off in kernel in grub options too.2) I have tried to change the settings with BIOS which is related to acpi3) I have searched regarding this issue and found some what related to kernel issue, But the repository of FC6 is not working i think, SO I could not able to upgrade the kernel.
Recently I built a new computer, making my old laptop redundant, so I thought I'd turn it into a portable studio computer with linux. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 with the low latency kernal and the ubuntustudio audio packages. And while the system still has many other kinks I need to work out, my main issue is heat. Even when I'm running the official Ubuntu kernal rather than real-time one, I'll use the laptop for basic browsing and messaging.
Suddenly Ubuntu crashes with a warning saying that my laptop is too hot and has to shut down. The only way I've found around this is to run the laptop from cold with an external fan blow right onto the computer. I can still hear the fan working and airflow is totally unrestricted. If it helps, the laptop is 4 years old and is a Acer Ferrari 4000. I never had these issues running XP on it for the past 3 1/2 years and I'm relatively new to running a Linux system.
I was so pleased with Ubuntu (9.10) on my desktop that I installed it on my laptop, too. However, on the laptop (but not on the desktop) I cannot shut down properly. I get a black screen with the following text:
Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) ttyl (my computer name) login: (flashing cursor)
On one occasion I got:
Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) ttyl (my computer name) login: init: usplash main process (10187) killed by TERM signal
In either case it hangs there and does not completely shut down.
And I can't find it on the panel apps list:
It was there when I logged on this morning, it's not there now, instead replaced by '15, 16:54' (no that's not the time, it's to the left of my clock right where the session button normally is). There's a shut down button in the apps list but it's not the same as the original that was there...
EDIT: and now it's back. And in fact it WAS the time, it was the 15 (date) and time. Dunno what made it crash. A log out and it's back on.
OK, so basically my problem is that I can't log out, shut down, or restart my computer through the GUI. The thing is, it used to work. Note: this started happening right after I put in the lock / logout widget, but it's really a pain to have to go through the Kickoff menu to lock the screen each time, and leaving my files, online accounts, and what's on my screen open to anyone who wants to snoop is not an option. I may have to just suck it up and lock the screen the old-fashioned way, but only as a last resort.
Configuration: An older Gateway (idk the exact specs) desktop machine with Windows XP and Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic (dual-boot)
