OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Go To System Monitor It Will Show Under CPU% "disk Sleep"
Jan 1, 2011
openSUSE 11.3 64-bit fully updated, running the latest K3B, 2.0.1. from the Packman repos with the codecs installed. Sometimes it starts up and runs fine, others the splash and then nothing. And again other times it will start and never show up until I reboot and then there it is. When I go to system monitor it will show under CPU% "disk sleep" if that helps. FWIW I have similar issues with Nero 4. I've added myself to the cd rom group and all of that.

Running openSuSE 11.3 w/ a KDE 4.x desktop. Every time I'm using KTorrent, when I come back into the office and "wake" the monitor, I find KTorrent has crashed and I have to restart it. So I'm guessing that KTorrent is crashing either when my monitor goes to sleep mode or when I'm waking it up. I've tried changing some settings but when the system is running, I cannot seem to access the monitor control panel. Pressing the menu button on the side of the monitor does not bring up the monitor menu. There used to be an easily noticed "Desktop Settings" in KDE 3 but I'm not finding the equivalent in KDE 4. How to keep this Samsung SyncMaster 997DF 19" CRT from going into sleep mode?

My problem is, firefox (3.6.12 and 4.0 beta 7) freezes for seconds/minutes and enters in disk sleep state (the usb-storage process too). My system is an EeePC 701, openSUSE 11.3 x86, with the /home and swap partitions on a SD card.

I recently installed FC14 on my system as I was previously on FC8. Everything seems to be working fine, but I ran into an issue today where I wanted to kill firefox. I checked in gnome system monitor and I did not see a running process for firefox or firefox-bin. I also ran a "ps -e" command from a terminal as root and did not see it there either. I don't know if this is a fedora issue or a firefox issue, so I am posting it here first.
And just to vent on something that IS a firefox issue. I have the new firefox 4 running and when I click the X in the top corner, it doesn't give me the option to save my current tabs and exit like the previous versions did. That was a feature I liked.

Many processes enter in disk sleep mode and stops (Hang) and return to work after 10 to 20 seconds.

Ram: 4GB
Hard Disk: 1024GB
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2
Display: ATI HD 4670
Motherbord: Gigabyte
System: openSUSE 11.2 x86_64
The problem still exists after system update and i try run other distributions like kubuntu and i don't get this error. I also change Hard Disk but the problem is still ongoing.

I have Ubuntu 10.04, and I have my power settings set so that my display is never supposed to go to sleep, yet it still does after 10 minutes of being idle. Has anyone else had this issue?

My dual proc, dual core Opteron MSI Master2FAR motherboard failed, and I try to boot a disk, used on this board as boot disk, on an Intel based Gigabyte GA-965-DS3. Both systems are x86_64 architecture.
The OS is on both systems is openSUSE 11.1.
On booting the disk on the Gigabyte, the disk is seen correctly by the BIOS, but not by the OS, and there is no /dev/sdX; no /dev/disk/... either. I am taken to a login shell from the ramdisk.
When I just mount this disk on the Gigabyte (booted with the Gigabyte's original boot disk) everything seems fine. No suprise to me, since the disk was fine, and was unmounted gracefully and physically taken off the MSI before the board failed.
I think that the cause lies in the fact that the harddisk controller on the Gigabyte is different from the MSI, and the driver for that controller is not available at boot time.
I have two questions:
- is my assumption correct, or is something else going on?
- if I am right, is there a way to get this disk booting on the Gigabyte (or on another system, for that matter)?
You might want to ask why I want to boot this disk on the Gigabyte in the first place, since I can mount it and see all data on it. I have a reason for that, but telling that story would make this topic too long, and it's too off-topic. Most certainly I will get to that in another topic.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop and everynow and then I get this annoying problem. If I walk away for a bit, just upstairs to use the bathroom, sometimes when I come back the monitor is off and the power light is blinking. You know, like what monitors usually do when they are still powered on but the screensaver is done playing. However, this happens to me well before the 10 minutes that the screensaver is supposed to end.
It does not always happen, and I can't really isolate what may be causing it, as I never take a note of what I'm doing when I go pee. HOwever, I rarely do anything other that run VLC, Chrome, Firefox, or OpenOffice Writer.
The problem is that the screen won't wake up. Moving the mouse does nothing. Jamming some keys does nothing. Trying to go to text terminal does nothing. I have to either REISUB or hold down the power button on the tower.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my PC using NVIDIA GeForce 9150LE graphics and HP w2207h monitor. After using the Wubi installer and rebooting my computer, i select the ubuntu boot menu option and it says it is preparing to continue with the installation. after a countdown before it begins, my monitor goes to sleep. i used an eMachine monitor that i used in a previous installation of 9.10 that worked fine and reached the exact same problem. When booting from a live CD and selecting try without installing the screen comes up with a blinking underscore, and both monitors went to sleep. I believe its a problem with the graphics chip, but i dont know how to fix it.

I just recently got my old box back and now I'm running 10.4. I've had some minor issues that I have got through but now there is one which seems to really be frustrating me. At any random time my monitor may go black as if it is in sleep mode. The problem is when it does this, no mouse movement or keystroke will wake the thing up. So I am forced to press the power button. When I press the power button the Ubuntu logo pops up on the screen as if it magically woke up but it is too late because now the computer is shutting down... When I go to System>Preferences>Screensaver I get to the options for the screensaver and I have about 2 seconds before that triggers the screen going black.
I can't even start until I know that my screen won't shut off at any random moment!

My system decided to crash on me, hard. It was humming along happily for about 2 months and now doesn't boot. If I boot from hard-disk, I get grub. Launching the first kernel choice hangs. I thought maybe the install was corrupt, so I booted from usb install disk. The usb hdd didn't boot; something about an error trying to access /dev/sda . Unplugging the internal disk and plugging in the usb install disk does result in the system booting. Plugging in the internal disk in a running system usb-booted system does not result in the system detecting the disk.
How do I know if the disk is physically broken? This seems unlikely since it does manage to launch grub consistently. Or is this still possible? How can I try to mount whatever is left? The usb install disk doesn't even list the /dev/sd*. Any pointers on how to reformat the drive if it's not being mounted?

I can't get debian 5.0.4 i386 to load I can get as far as root for crash repair during boot-up but much further than that and my monitor turns off. Ubuntu 8.04.4 live cd (kernel is 2.6.24 i believe) works but says I have to enter noapic in the boot string. APIC is on and greyed out i.e. not accessible in BIOS --- might be non-compliant Only thing I can think of is to add acpi=off in GRUB entry but the change doesn't seem to work or take effect. I added it to the relevant entries in menu.lst in grub and it still didn't take effect. Grub must be getting its config info somewhere else...

I'm not sure, but I think this is hardware. Anyway, I have two different boxen running FC14. One has a Nvidia 9800, the other a Nvidia NV96. The former I use as a desktop, the latter a server. I've let the server go with whatever the system autodetects for video, but the desktop I've played with a ton: nouveau, nvidia, etc.
Anyway, since I upgraded both to 2.6.35.9-64, both go to sleep at some point during rhgb. I can't find anything in boot.log, messages, or what have you to try. This happens even if I go to runlevel 3, so unless I'm misunderstanding the boot sequence, this is way before X starts.
Now, just upgraded to 2.6.35.10-72 tonight, and the behavior slightly changed. Before, it would show the rhgb loading screen for a few, but then the monitor would sleep before it completed. As of this kernel, it just goes to sleep right away.
The only quirky thing I can think is that I'm running DVI out into a KVM. I have been making sure to have the machine as the active video when it boots, so it should still be able to feed EDID info to the machine, but I did notice when trying to track down nouveau/nvidia problems on the desktop that X was having trouble reading my EDID all the sudden.
I'm assuming there's some automagic default now that's putting my monitor out of range. The only way I've been able to keep the desktop running is to not have the nvidia driver installed, but also not have a driver type specified in xorg.conf. If I do that *and* specify a modelines, I can boot with rhgb off at runlevel 3, then manually start X. From the Xorg.0.log, it appears to be falling back to vesa, which is the only thing that works.
How can I debug this? If the monitor sleeps but there are no messages in boot.log, messages, or Xorg.0.log, how can I even figure out what rhgb is doing?

Whenever I boot into ubuntu 10.04, my monitor just automatically goes into sleep mode. As soon as I select to boot into ubuntu, the monitor just sleeps. There's no getting out of it. Booting into windows works fine though, so the problem has to be ubuntu.

I upgraded a couple weeks ago and now my monitor doesn't go to sleep like it used to.
The settings in powermanagment show that it should go to sleep after 10 minutes.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I've been using Ubuntu for about a month now, gotta say I'm loving it. I've been spending more time in Ubuntu than W7 now. I've been trying to get Steam to work with Ubuntu without the whole thing exploding on me. I've got WINE and winetricks already pretty much set up, and Steam works flawlessly. The problem appears when I try to launch Team Fortress 2. The monitor instantly goes to sleep, but if I wait a few seconds, I can hear the in-game music, which means that the game is loading correctly.
I'm using the 10.04 LTS release, Wine 1.1.42. Kernel version 2.6.32-22-generic. My graphics card is a Radeon HD 4850, running Catalyst 10.5.

infact im kinda of a "pre-life" Ubuntu user I have burned a CD-R disk with the ISO image of Ubuntu with infrarecord however... When Insert the disk and boot a screen pops up and I press enter then the language thing comes up and I select english but here is where the problem is, Its seems that for only a few seconds I can control my keyboard then it stops working...So everytime I try to click "try Ubuntu without install" I cant and it just sits there
after it sits for maybe ten seconds it looks like it is rebooting but then it says "Monitor going to sleep." and if I try to turn it back on its just a black screen. Also if I like Ubuntu (which I probably will) Im going to run a DBAN and install it from scratch and I dont really want any problems :/

My monitor falls to sleep when I get to the Grub Menu and choose "Ubuntu". It will get to the purple-ish loading screen to a minute before the monitor falls asleep. I am using 10.10, and this is my first experience with Linux. As much details as I can think of: I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 after playing with it on a live CD. I chose to install it alongside Windows 7. The install was quick and smooth, and booted up as it should. When I get to the GRUB menu, I had more choices than I thought I would (I figured I could nix them later.)
These options were:
Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu Linux (recovery mode)
Memory Check
different Memory Check
Windows 7
I chose windows 7, to make sure ol' semi-reliable, slow, and resource hogging OS worked. As expected, it ran through some stuff white-text-black-screen stuff to make sure all it's files were there (probably due to the fact I had to give some of my hard drive space to ubuntu). As far as I could tell, this did not modify any files, and it checked out with windows. I restarted using windows at this point....

Ubuntu 10.04
Under Preferences > Power Management I have changed the settings to never put the computer to sleep and never to put the display to sleep.
My display still goes to sleep and I am prompted for my password when I leave the computer unattended.
I would like to be able to hit the "Lock Screen" app I added to the top panel to lock my screen, but otherwise I would like it to just stay on.

You know that glitch where your monitor doesn't come back after switching off for power saving? That's gotten WAY worse since switching to Lucid. It used to happen every other day or so, now it happens 2-3 times a day. Songbird used to keep it from switching off on Karmic, but Songbird doesn't work on Lucid so that's out the window.
Also: as similar error happened when restarting after the glitch happened this latest time. Ubuntu started running its routine disk check and I hit C to skip it. The screen went down like it does in the Monitor Sleep glitch. I reset again, it did it again. Eventually, I just let it do the check. This has NEVER happened before.

I've got a question on free disk space. I'm currently running CentOS 5.5 on in Xenserver virtual environment. We've had an issue with disk space. My question is as follows: - from a ssh connection i run df -h this gives the value of 90% used leaving me with 9GB. If I use system monitor via a VNC connection the free disk space value is 20GB free on the same volume. Which one is correct? I do use SNMP to monitor the same volume and should alert me when < 10% is free I know this works as I set the alert threshold to < 90% I get an alert.

I have a 2 TB disk in an external SATA dock, formatted with a single ext3 (Linux) partition, which doesn't show up in the Windows 7 Computer Management->Disk Management utility, even as a raw/blank disk. I've verified that there's nothing wrong with the disk by connecting it to my Linux machine and mounting it, and I've verified that the dock is functioning properly by connecting a different FAT32-formatted disk, which mounts flawlessly as expected.I realize that I can't actually read the ext3 partition without additional software (e.g., Ext3IFS), but why doesn't the disk show up at all? Is there some sort of stupid anti-Linux filter built in? Is there any way to force Windows to recognize the disk, so that I can at the very least use direct block access with it?
Background: I want to clone an identical 2 TB disk onto this one. Due to my hardware layout, it's much easier to have the source disk attached to one machine and the destination disk connected to another, and do the clone over the network (the network is not a bottleneck with switched gigabit ethernet), than it is to hook them both up to one machine.(1) I did this once before when both machines were running Linux, but I've since upgraded the destination machine and decided to switch back to Windows for regular desktop use. I've got Cygwin installed, and have verified that the same basic method (dd + nc) will work, but I can't do anything if Windows doesn't even consider the destination disk to exist.I only have one eSATA port on each machine. Opening them up just to do this clone is a rather large annoyance. Also, since this is my backup disk, I'd like to eventually automate the cloning from the active disk to another one that I regularly swap with a third disk that I store off-site.

I have an odd problem since preupgrading from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14.
My power management settings are set to never put the monitor to sleep, yet after a certain amount of time, lo and behold, the Fedora box has gone blank and I have to enter my user information and password to get back to my gnome session.
In the power management preferences I have "never" selected for both putting the computer or display to sleep.
In the screensaver preferences "Lock Screen After" is *not* checked. (And if I click "advanced" I also note that "Power Management Enabled" is also *not* checked).
I'd just as soon not have to "log on" to this machine every time I'm away from it for a while.
