I've got a minor problem with my GPU: I replaced the OEM GeForce 6200 with a 9600 GT, but I believe the shutdown temperature is still set to the 6200's; causing annoyance with graphically intensive programs/games. It was a fairly small card, and has a low shutdown temp. BIOS revealed no settings, is there a setting for this in slack?
View 3 RepliesI have Debian Squeeze with Gnome "sensors-applet" installed.I have a Nvidia 7300GT GPU whose Thermal Monitoring(Temperature) is Shown fine on "nvidia-settings" GUI. But ,Sensors Applet in Debian shows only CPU temp and if I install hddtemp,it will show hard disk temperatures.
I ended up rebuilding the package from debian source enabling nvidia support.and it worked(with "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="--enable-gui --with-nvidia" Has Any Work Around to show nvidia GPU temperature without rebuilding the package ?PS:Below is a screenshot of nvidia GPU temperature showing in the top panel(of Gnome). sensors-applet_nvidia.png (5.5 KiB) Viewed 518 times
Over the course of this year, I've been upgrading my system. Started with a mobo/CPU/RAM/video swap, going to a quad core Phenom-II 955 with 4 Gigs of RAM and an Nvidia GT-240 video card. I then dialed up the clock on that CPU, taking it to 3.415 GHz from its nominal 3.2 GHz, and I overclocked the RAM to 1704 MHz from the system default of 1333 MHz. Then I stuffed another hard drive into the box (the sixth HD in the box). Then I shove another 4 Gigs of RAM into the system, for a total of 8 Gigs.
Over this entire exercise, I have not changed the power supply. It was a Coolermaster 500 Watt supply that has served me well and faithfully. I did a careful power budget of this system and concluded that it was sucking somewhere between 420 and 450 watts at full load. Hence, my PS was very marginal. Allowing for derating as the PS aged, I figured I was really close to the edge.
However, I was having no symptoms, so I went with it. My system sits in a room where the temperature is usually around 28 C, and it would idle with a CPU temperature of 40C. Well, I started having some symptoms that were consistent with inadequate power within the last few days. I wasn't terribly surprised at that, so I didn't complain about having to go and buy a new PS. I purchased a Coolermaster GX 750 Watt supply. This is a high efficiency unit.
Since installing it a couple of hours ago, my system is idling with a CPU temperature of 36C. Mobo temp appears unchanged. No changes to BIOS, overclocking is unchanged, and nothing in the system is different except the PS. The case is an Antec P182, which puts the power supply in the bottom of the case inside its own duct. So, the motherboard and CPU don't see any heat from the PS; all of that is exhausted along its own path.
It is too soon yet for me to know if my symptoms that caused me to change the PS are gone, but the temperature change is quite striking. I have no explanation for it. Does anyone else? Temperature is being reported using the sensors command. Mandriva 2010.1 system. Edit: I am also noticing 1 to 3 degree C drops in hard drive temps, while ambient temperature in this room is constant. There are 6 drives in this box, and their temp history has been pretty constant...
I have done 3 clean installs for this problem and it remains, i don't want to do it from the terminal..(Buttons exists but they won't work...)

Last night did a shutdown -h +120 which I have done regularly without problems. Only difference was there were some updates to go on which I said Restart later to.
Now my NVIDIA driver is screwed - as in I can't get my dual screens working. I have tried: sudo nvidia-config as suggested but not sure what it means by restart X server - PC restarted? No difference.
I installed slackware 13.1 x86_64 bit with multilib, and its been about a month already, I'm really enjoying slackware but I am being troubled with my nvidia card, and I need to get my 3D acceleration working. And I've been looking around the net for information and kept on trying to make my nvidia card to work but to no avail. I cant get X to start, once I put in a xorg.conf stating to use the nvidia card. After troubleshooting for almost 2 weeks and now at my wits end, I now come humbly looking for help in linuxquestions slackware community forum.I've installed nvidia 64 bit kernel, drivers from slackbuilds (version 256.44). The laptop model I'm trying to get it working is an -ASUS K52J Intel Core i3 2.40Ghz with 2GB RAM and with an Nvidia Geforce 310M with 1GB dedicated VRAM.

I've install Slackware 13.1 and i cannot shutdown my PC. The shut down process stop while trying to run PCMCIA module.
This is the first time that happens.
From Hardware point of view , i didn't do anything at all (if that helps).
I just recently installed slackware 13.37 as a fresh install. In firefox, I currently only have the flashplayer plugin installed, no themes, no other add-ons. Firefox will open fine the first time, however after I close it and try to open it again, I get a message saying that firefox is already running and the process must be closed before another session can be opened. Looking through the open processes, firefox-bin still shows open. I can kill -9 firefox-bin and restart firefox, but then I have the same problem after close. I have deleted my .mozilla folder, which did not help and I have deleted the libflashplayer.

I'm normally a KDE user but tried xfce4 and found that it works nicely. I wanted to switch to it for a while. I did find one particular problem: When you try and end the session, you can Log Out but can not Restart or Shutdown. If you click on Restart or Shutdown it asks for password Even after entering a valid password, it will not allow the action.
(I tried user and root's passwords.) It says "Please enter your password." After entering the password it says, "Either the password you entered is invalid, or the system administrator disallows shutting down this computer with your user account." (Before you ask; my user is in power group.)
I tinkered with it for a while and decided it must have something to do with KDM and so I switched my default runlevel to 3 and started xfce4 [via startx] and it worked as expected. Next I tried using xdm instead of kdm and YES, it works as expected. I was able to Restart or Shutdown (no asking for password, it just does it.) What is it about KDM that does not allow xfce4 to restart or shutdown?
I want to change the reboot of ctrl+alt+del for shutdown, how i can do this in Fedora 15 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu file server sits under a desk and shares files with the network without a hitch, and in a perfect world I wouldn't ever need to shut it down (I reached 6 months uptime once). However, since it occasionally needs service, or additions and needs to be moved, I need to shut down.
The trouble is, the power management system is borked, so whenever I issue "sudo powerff now", the system halts, but the PSU stays on. I usually wait a few minutes after and flip the PSU switch, but I'm never sure if the system is already down.
Is there a way to reorder the way services shut down so that I put SSH last, and therefore know when the system is down when my session is disconnected? Is defaults.rc or whatever responsible for that?
My home computer is (of course) a multi-user system with my wife and I each having separate non-root accounts. Usually at the end of the day I exit X, drop down to the terminal, su to root and type
Code:
shutdown -h now
to turn the computer off for the night.
However, my wife doesn't know (or care to know) the root password, but she would like to be able to shutdown the computer.I tried making a /etc/shutdown.allow file, and typing
Code:
/sbin/shutdown -a -h now from her account, but it didn't work. I got an error that one has to be root to do that.
So, how do I allow regular users to shutdown?
I have Linux debian 7.7.0 i386-amd64 under VBox 4.3.20 and here is the problem:::
When I open the menu from Linux's top-right corner and click SHUT DOWN..., it shows the dialog with choices, and that Linux guest will automatically shutdown after 60 seconds and I need to change that delay value to 3 seconds. Of course I could just re-click Shut Down -button again, but I don't want to do it. Period.
By Googling I found these "instructions" for UBUNTU:
None of this worked on my 13.04 system. In the end I re-compiled gnome-session.

Whenever I start my PC, the information of 'First Boot device' in BIOS changes from hard disk to CD-Rom. It happens with new start, I mean, if I restart my computer after resetting First boot device to hard disk, then priority does not change. Just as I switch on computer, a black screen appears with the message:
CMOS - checksum error - defaults loaded
press F1 to continue, DEL to enter setup
Recently it used to happen, that PC was not reading my hard disk containing GRUB. I have 2 hard disks. I switched the power cables of two hard disks. After that, both hard disks were shown by BIOS but the above mentioned error started appearing. Also grub takes too much time to load. It takes almost 20 seconds. Earlier I was using 'Puppy Linux'. In that, Grub was loading in fraction of second.
Basically what is happening is i installed slackware 13 and then madwifi following these instructions [URL] and it works great, then i shutdown or restart and when i come back to linux i dont have the internet anymore. This happened twice already and i dont know how to fix it. by the way i have 2 hard drives, one with windows xp and one with linux. i dont think this would affect anything but i put it just in case.
i will try to install it again from scratch following those instructions exactly because i just went to the configure and make part, i will take the post down if it works after that but if this is up then it didnt work. i know i didnt provide any info on things like the output of iwconfig or the model of my network card (atheros something) but all i can say right now is that i use the latest version of madwifi, 0.9.4, the fixed one that works for the latest models of atheros.

I have been looking for a lightweight bandwidth monitoring app and came across bmon. It does what I need. However it has an interesting way of exiting.
when it is running and you close it down it ask you 'Really quit (y/n)' and does not shut down. I am used to just right clicking on my desktop and selecting 'leave' when it comes to shutdown time.
A few times now the laptop hangs on shutdown if bmon is open. I guess it is due to the app asking if it should shutdown. Is there a way to disable the app asking or alternatively nuke it for sure with some script on shutdown.
I could search the relevant konsole running the app and go thru the steps to shut it down but sometimes I am in a hurry and it doesn't feel like the way to go anyhow?

12.2 is up to date and am running the Firefox from Slackbuilds. There was an update to FF a few months ago. Since then FF "hangs" when I close it out. It does seem to shut down better from the home page instead of whatever site I happen to be on at the time of shutting down. I do have a few addons to FF but they were there before the update with no issues. The addons are Gmarks [disabled], Rankchecker, Scribefire, SEO for FF [disabled], SEO Toolbar, Weatherbug and Web Developer. I haven't done any "fixes" so I'm fairly certain I didn't create my own problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt seems that I will get slackware working fine, just the way I want, and after I turned it off and turned it back on, Firefox and Pidgin refused to run because something was missing that was there before.
After uninstalling them both, and then realizing that the package was somehow uninstalled without me knowing, I reinstalled it in case anything else needed it. That was yesterday, and now today I woke up and started the computer, trying to use Konqueror. Strangely, there's no wireless internet, so I tried to use wicd and it just doesn't start. I try again from the terminal and I get this:
[Code]....
ImportError: /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2: undefined symbol g_variant_new_double So I went and used slackpkg and it seems that libdbusmenu was uninstalled too. I really don't understand what's going on here. It's pretty annoying because without wicd I can't even use an ethernet connection, so the computer is basically useless to me at this point.
I have a question regarding runlevels, shutdown procedure and KDM. I am on a freshly installed Slackware64 13.37 multilib system. The default runlevel in /etc/inittab is set to 3: multiuser w/o X.
Now, I log in as root and issue the command:
Code:
As expected, KDM starts up, and I log in to KDE (or another WM/DE) as a normal users. When I am finished, I either issues
Code:
In Konsole or click on Shutdown in the KDE menu. The shutdown process is initiated, as expected, but then it stops, and a window alerts me, that there is a session open by user 'root'. If I click OK, the machine is finally shut down.
Now, if I interpret this correctly, the behaviour of Slackware64 13.37 has changed here, compared to 13.1. In previous versions, the root seesion was closed, when I changed the runlevel to 4 with the telinit command. Now, the session remains open, obviously.
My question is: Is this the correct behaviour, and isn't this a security whole? An unnoticed (!) open root session while I am surfing the web as an unprivileged user in KDE could be dangerous, I think...
Is it misconfiguration in my system, or is this the way it should be?
