OpenSUSE Install :: Notebook Shuts Down During Work?
Apr 19, 2011
I installed openSUSE 11.4 on my notebook (Packard-Bell EasyNote LJ61) and started the system. I logged in and KDE appears. After some minutes, I started firefox and thunderbird and the computer shuts down. After resarting, I installed the fglrx driver.
After restarting again, I let the desktop stay, and let him from 16:30 oclok to 18:00. He stayed so. Then I started firefox and thunderbird and the system shuts down again....
Here my specs:
Packard Bell EasyNote LJ61
AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
openSUSE 11.4 (i586) KDE 4.6.00 release 6

The machine I'm running is a Sony Vaio VPCCW290X notebookIntel Core i5 processorNvidia GeForce 310M video cardI am planning on making Debian my main OS but I am experimenting with installing it on a usb drive first. I am new to linux so this has been a learning experience so far. I finally got the grub installed correctly for the external hard drive to boot up into Debian. I installed the minimal network install so I should just be going to a console prompt. After booting it it goes for a short time and then the screen shuts off, not just black. I tried ctrl-alt-f1/f2 which didn't do anything. I am able to reboot by ctrl-alt-del though. If I try to boot into the second option it goes further before shutting off. Using a live cd it does the same thing unless I choose the fail-safe option. When I choose that it boots up correctly. If I hook up an external monitor it will switch over to it when the screen shuts off, so I know it's not the video card

Old hp notebook (HP520) and want to install some linux distro on it to use it for basic web browsing and word processing. After a bit of research decided to begin with opensuse.
Only problem i cant seem to install it on the notebook. The dvd drive is dead and hence i wanted to install suse through a usb drive (2GB). Downloaded the appropriate live CD and used it to make a bootable usb disk as per instructions on opensuse.org. The drive boots up fine but no matter what i do i the next screen is always a black screen with a blinking underscore and nothing seems to happen. However compatibility reports indicate that suse should install hassle free and everything should work!
Already attempted text mode and safe settings installations. Nothing has worked so far. XP seems to run perfectly fine on it.
Here's the cpu-z report for the laptop if that's any help: report.txt

I'm trying to install 11.3 in a Viewsonic VNB101 notebook.I've been trying a long time now, 11.3 was still in ms6, as I recall. I tried the dd, the imagewriter, kiwi, unetbootin, Win32DiskImager and maybe something more. Lately I'm trying PXE booting, but I cant manage anything. I even gave a shoot to the new grub2 advertised feature, of booting an iso from the same machine. No luck. Maybe its time to mention that I had already successfully installed fedora and now the kubuntu 10.04, which is running ok, but its not suse. The weirdest thing is that I can have a bootable pendrive that looks fine. My other two desktop pc's, boot it and they are willing to install or run live.
I've tried the full dvd (586) version, of course after isohybrid was ran. I also tried many of the factory isos. But the one I'm obsessed with, is openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso. All of them where definately checksumed. What the heck is going wrong with this notebook? Bios version is InsydeH20 D0.05T45.55.03, the setup utility in rev. 3.5. Cpu is Intel Atom cpu n280 A friend of mine, installed 11.3 successfully with an external dvd-rom drive, but he lives pretty far and I cant afford buying one of my own. I'm a user of OpenSuse since version 6.3. It is used as my primary OS all this time, on my desktop machines. I wont give up.

I'm running 11.2 and using a 1TB Maxtor OneTouch4Plus, P/N 9NT3A8-500,for all my mass storage. After about 10 to 30 minutes it powers off and won't turn back on until I either unplug/replug or reboot. Also if it is off and I wake up the PC from the screen saver the light will come on and flash a few times, but it will turn right back off. Here is a c/p of listing the USB when it is on and off:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0d49:7300 Maxtor
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04b8:0802 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus CX3200
[Code].....
I've tried to plug it into the last open USB port on the back of the machine, but it just lights up and does not do anything or show up in the lsusb response.
It gets real anoying when trying to do FTP or large downloads because it will even shut down when being used not just sitting idle. A few weeks back when I was getting a ham program setup and working with the serial port I was able to see a recent error log and saw all the failed attempts to access/see it. I figure it was all the times I logged back in after the screen saver was on. I don't know how to bring that up for you guys to look at unless I jack up the FlDigi program I was working on and a search can't refresh my memory on how to do it.

So, recently I tried getting Ubuntu on my desktop. First, I got the CD, inserted it, and it seemed to boot fine to this orange screen, with a texture, and at the bottom what seemed to be a video roll and a man with his arms open. Right after that my system's monitor seemed to shut down, completely, and I was unable to turn it back on. I restarted my computer and went through the same process until I took out the CD. So then I tried installing it into Windows, but that didn't work either. It had the Ubuntu boot option, and I selected it where I was shown The installation is completing
5-4-3-2-1-0
With a counter, and when it went to 0 my screen shut down and my computer went into a weird half-off state.

i've installed a second hard drive in my system. Out of nowhere one of them shuts down (don't know which one, because its hard to tell), and the entire system freezes. Often happens during cd burning processes, or even in idle. After about a minute it recovers. I have OpenSUSE 11.0, and two 40 GB identical Western Digital hard drives. I dual boot the system with WinXP, and partitions are as follows: sda1 as root, sda2 as home, sda3 as windows xp C: partition, sda4 as swap, sdb1 as windows xp D: partition, sdb2 another swap partition, sdb3 as local1 and sdb4 as local2. If I use fdisk at sdb, sdb1 is marked as bootable, and it warns me that "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." and "Partition table entries are not in disk order".

I've been trying to install CentOS 5.5-i386 on my office notebook (Compaq Evo N610c) but the installation hangs indefinitely after booting from the disc.The exact place where the installation hangs is during this particular line
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing enabled I tried various solutions like disabling the serial ports and installing with the necessary kernel parameters but this didn't do any good.

I have a problem during installation of openSuse 11.3 on my brand new notebook. It's an hp8440p with Arrandale integrated graphic controller. The initial install works then as soon as the notebook reboots to complete the install and allow me to log in for the first time, there's no video. If I shut the notebook down and boot into failsafe mode the video works. I shut down again and come back up as a normal boot and no video again.
And what's the difference between normal and failsafe?I ran glxgears and had 3d accel in failsafe..

I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04. My HP ProBook 4520s notebook computer exhibits the following problem. I use the notebook with lid closed, connected to Samsung SyncMaster P2350 23" LCD Monitor. When Ubuntu boots it selects 1024 x 768 resolution. I then go into the display settings and notice that it is set to display the same image on both monitors. If I uncheck this setting, I see the Samsung and can make changes to the resolution settings of both laptop monitor and Samsung monitor, however, when I click Apply, the Samsung I am viewing goes blank. If I then open the laptop lid, it too is blank. After a cold reboot, I am able to get the Samsung monitor to act as a desktop estension perfectly, but not as the only monitor with the laptop screen turned off. Any attempt to turn off the laptop monitor in the settings results in no screen at all.
In the office, I have an LG 19" Flatron monitor, and Ubuntu does not exhibit the same problem. I can boot up with lid closed, and the Flatron works fine as the only monitor and at it's native resolution all by itself. Booting with lid open, and then closing the lid, also results in the Samsung going blank, but probably for the reason that there is no option in power management to DO NOTHING when the Lid is closed.
It seems that Ubuntu have forgotten about people who use their laptops as desktops in this way. I am not happy to run with the laptop open and split screens, as I cannot get the launcher into the Samsung, and everything has to be moved over all the time, is there any work around that anyone may know about?
The HP ProBook uses Intel Graphics, for which there are no particular additional drivers I am told. The problem also happened in Ubuntu 10.10, but before 10.10 I don't recall ever having this problem (from 7.04 thru 10.04)

I have an Acer Aspire 5740 with a synaptics touchpad. I have tried using the ksynaptics program as well as the touchpad settings under System Settings >> Computer Administration. My touchpad works, but it is driving me crazy with how sensitive the tap to click feature is. I want to disable it altogether so I can actually work on my computer. When I go to the touchpad section in System Settings >> Computer Administration >> Keyboard & Mouse, the tab says "Warning: Touchpad configuration is not supported on this system. The synaptics driver is either not loaded or too old. Refer to doumentation for information about the required driver version."

Today i used the mini CD command-line install, got the system running at the terminal, but installing xorg or gnome and rebooting results again in fail. Tried to edit xorg.conf through nano, after sudo apt-get install but before reboot, but was fail again (couldn't open the file). I dont know exactly if its the gnome or the X the issue, because i tried at the same notebook the ubuntu 8.04, the wallpaper pops up but it freezes after, i cannot use the X. Both cd's are checksum valid originals from canonical
is there any ways to install gnome and x in the terminal, edit the xorg.conf with anything that solve the problem and reboot? update 23:11PM: I found it, its a issue with old intel graphic cards. i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa in the boot parameters and i could use the installer in the lucid live cd. but now i need to edit the grub to always boot with this parameter.
