OpenSUSE :: Kde - Cannot Log Off Or Shutdown The Computer
Aug 23, 2011
I am using latest kde version in latest opensuse. I am working with distro one and a half year now (of course I was doing updates all this period) The last twenty dates if I have a quite heavy session I can not log off (or shutdown the computer) I even tried from konsole qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 0 0
even that did not work (well right now I can not launch any new apps from kde, but I still work with the already running).

I am on opensuse 11.2 and sometimes when I shutdown the computer, It make a noise like "bzzz" but different than error beep. I think maybe there is a problem withe the automatic detection at the boot, but I really don't know alsa configuration or udev rules very well.
Code:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xfc400000 irq 22
1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xcfeec000 irq 17
Code:
$ lspci | grep -i audio

Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.
[Code]....

I did a live upgrade from 11.3 KDE and observe a following issue.When I press the shutdown button on the laptop it initiates the shutdown and shuts down fine but after a significant delay of time (something like 30 seconds). When I click the shutdown button in KDE it initiates the shutdown instantly. This was not the case in 11.3 where the shutdown worked the same regardless of the method that triggered it

Sometimes when I shutdown Ubuntu 10.10 and try to turn on the desktop PC it fails. I then have to disconnect tower from the power source and plug it in after waiting a few minutes. This problem first started in Ubuntu 9.10. I have a hunch that it happens because I am shutting down with applications open.
I was told that this is a batter issue on my motherboard, but I've replaced it and still have issues.

My ubuntu won't shut down, it stops at the ubuntu logo (with the dots under it). It seems like the OS completely and successfully shuts down, also the harddrive spins down too, except for the computer. I belive this might have happened after I updated my bios. (due to hybrid gpu trouble)I did search on the internet, and found that it might be some ACPI related issues, and that I have to edit the grub's menu.lst file and add acpi=force.However my menu.lst file is blank, there is nothing in there.
I have tried to shutdown via the terminal too, but the same happens there. Last time I checked it successfully reboots, and standby works correctly. For me to shutdown this laptop, I have to remove the battery and the power cord for it to shutdown, or hold the power button for 10 secs, which is really annoing

so i just bought a new Sony Vaio laptop and things are seeming to run great. However, there is one issue: when i go to restart or shutdown the computer, the graphical interface goes away like it should, it goes to CLI and does it's shutdown routine....the problem occurs about 2 seconds into the routine, when it just stops. it doesnt shutdown or restart, but stays in the CLI with a blinking cursor. if i allow it to set for a couple of minutes, a message pops up that says something like this, "BUG: soft lock up CPU0 CPU1 stuck, blah blah". any ideas on what this is or what is causing this? the laptop has the i5 processor in it, just in case that matters

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and ever since last upgrade a couple of days ago (I think), everytime I hit shutdown on the gnome-panel (admittedly, I haven't tried the command line shutdown) the computer restarts itself. This computer is dual-booted with Win 7, and the shutdown command there properly halts the system.

This isn't stricly an Ubuntu question, but it is in the cause of an Ubuntu-powered home server Essentially: does wake-on-lan work if the computer is Shut Down (ie to all intents and purposes 'off' except for the hardware switch on the back), assuming that the motherboard and network interface (which in my case are one and the same) support wake-on-lan?
Also, if wake-on-lan is turned on, will this mean power going to anything other than the network interface (e.g. will PSU, CPU, case fans still be on?)Finally, will all of this work on Ubuntu 10.10 (assuming that the computer components are compatible)?
EDIT: Just to be clear, the Ubuntu system will be receiving the wake-on-lan 'call' (from a Squeezebox, though from my very limited knowledge of this stuff I don't think the source matters)

My laptop randomly shuts off, at first I thought it was an issue with the laptop overheating but during the install of 11.04 I made sure the laptop had a fan blowing on it constantly and checked it and determined it couldn't have overheated. My problem now is that I was able to use a live cd to access my old files but was presented with only two files stating that my files were encrypted, I'm don't ever recall encrypting my files and so I'm without a passphrase.
What I'm wondering, is there a way to gain access without the passphrase? Or is there a way to fix the corrupt install?

I used to like having that Red Shutdown Button on the top panel in the far right corner next to my name on older Ubuntu versions. It was easy to add with the 'Add to Panel' right-click feature that Unity eliminated. Is there a way to put that Red Shutdown button back on the far right top? IMHO it works better than the present Unity shutdown button.

I'm looking for a program or script that will automatically shut down my computer at specified times. The thing is, if I happen to be using the computer at those times, I want it to ask me if I want to shut down before it does it.
Something like I want the computer to shut down at 9 am every day. When it's 9am, a prompt pops up and says, "Do you want to shut down or continue running? If you do not answer, the computer will automatically shut down in 10 seconds." Not sure if something like this is out there or not.

This OS is has been cloned from the drive of another computer. The motherboard is now an SIS730. I assume the hardware is sufficiently different to prevent the OS from shutting down the computer.How do I fix this? ---without installing, if possible.

Simple question: what parameters can be used to shutdown a computer running Linux/OSX in 30 seconds? I've always run Windows, where I would go shutdown -s -t 30 but the parameters are different. I've looked it up here but it will only let you shut a computer down at a specific time (like 8:00) rather than in a specific amount of seconds.

just ran the obligatory kernel update for Karmic 9.10 and now my computer doesn't shut down when prompted to do so. It tries...goes through the logoff, makes all the motions and then hangs at the very end.
Reinstalled Ubuntu...same thing after kernel update.

I have an 80GB HDD where I installed Windows XP first and then Ubuntu. The thing is that whenever I shut down my computer and then turn it back on (wether it's right away or a few hours later, or the next day), I get the GRUB screen where you have to choose Ubuntu, but after that just a completely black screen. I then have to force a shutdown, then turn it back on, and it works. Whenever I restart it works too, this seems to happen only after a shutdown.
Specs:
Dell Dimension 4600
P4 2.8 GHz procesor
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon x1650 video card
80GB HDD

I installed it via Wubi it did well, but when it told me to restart, I did, after restarting I booted Ubuntu Netbook, then it said "Installation.iso not found. This usually happens when your computer does not shutdown correctly, shutdown without unmounting/removing usb. Please run the chkdsk /r" I already ran that many times nothing happens. I have Windows XP Pro 32bit.

I was playing with the Gnome-shell and my gui crashed. I was stuck in full-screen Terminal (i.e., Ctrl Alt F2) but I could not figure out how to shutdown/restart the computer.Anybody know if there's a command for this that works from within Terminal?

I have a Genius K627 Keyboard with Power, Sleep and Wake buttons. ACPI is unsupported on my computer, but it can turn off its power supply when the system halts (PM is ok). I would like to bind the Power key on the keyboard to execute the /sbin/halt command. What I already know is that I can specify an event in inittab (kbrequest) that would execute a command. What I don't know how I can make my system receive pressing Power button as a kbrequest. The scancodes of Power button on the keyboard (by showkey): 0x74 0xf4
This is the line I was talking about in my inittab:
Code:
ce:12345:kbrequest:/sbin/halt
I think I should edit /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz but don't know how I could insert this scancode into it.

Is there a command to remotely shutdown a computer on the local network? I have a computer running as a file/print server and I have no screen or keyboard connected to it. Would be great if I could shut it down from my laptop. I have the needed credentials (as I'm guessing these would be needed in the command?)

I have looked high and low for this, but to no avail. I am looking for a script to shutdown my computer when it reaches a specific time (say 10:00). I know about the shutdown command but if I use that I cannot shutdown my computer manually. I would like to be able to shutdown manually AND automatically.

For some time now, my laptop makes a quick but loud buzz sound when I shutdown or restart it. Muting my sounds doesn't fix it. Before, it didn't do this. It just started one day and got worse till it happened everytime I shutdown or restart.
Going to preferences > sounds > changing sound theme to no sounds helped a bit and after doing this, it doesn't happen all the time anymore. This is quite disturbing especially when I'm in libraries. What worries me the most though is that it might affect my speaker.
I'm using Karmic btw.

I just updated to kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64, and I'm now having a weird issue where my computer will hang during startup and shutdown unless I move the mouse around.
While moving the mouse, it will boot up or shut down normally. Once i stop moving the mouse around it will hang (until I begin to move the mouse again).Once fully booted it acts fine..
