Slackware :: Console App Causing System To Hang On Shutdown?
Jul 14, 2011
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?

I am new to opensuse, coming over from debian based systems. However I am having an issue in which my system will not power off on shutdown. Restarts just fine. i get a missing error during shutdown, but there is nothing to relate the error to on that line. Then the shutdown procedes to The System will be halted immediately then hangs. The keyboard powers off and then thats it. All fans are still running. I have searched extensively on this forum and google.

I'm running V5.3 (newly installed) on an FJ E8020 laptop. The problem I have is when shutting down (*not* rebooting). NetworkManager fails to stop and after (during?) the postfix shutdown, the system seems to hang.I cannot access via another screen or remotely. I can't find any clues in the log files.

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?

I'm still pretty new to the linux scene but kubuntu has been a great alternative to ubuntu (unity, ugh) until now.
It only started happening since i started messing around with play on linux but i dont think their related. I dont think its a driver issue either as ive switched between proprietary and default to no avail.
Basically after i log in, it takes over 3-6 minutes getting slower and slower before finally getting back to regular speed. So after a few occurences i decided that immediately after startup i went to system monitor and sure enough;
There is a process title "akonadi_contact" that is slowly growing in memory. There are also multiple occurences of it (usually between 6 and 9). they keep growing usually to the 500000k mark in memory usage before turning gray (swap storage??) and then eventualy the end.
What is "akonadi_contact"
How do i stop this from happening.
Is this a memory leak?

spent endless time trying to get multiple monitors going and have had a bit of success -- got two showing just fine. However, when I try to access the page I mention in the title, Slackware hangs hard -- only the red button will get me out. This is recent. I had dual monitors going before and that didn't happen, I think one monitor was at 800x600 and the other at some wide screeen rez. Anyway all by itself the 800x600 decided to go to 1024x768. Now, note that it all shows fine, no issues of any kind on the monitors themselves, xrandr works

I had this problem in 10.04 and hoped it would go away in 10.10, but it did not. My computer crashes on shutdown. When the system is shutting down, the screen goes black (sometimes with a bunch of grey lines), and just hangs. I have waited for a long time but nothing happens. I have to shut it down manually, with file losses as a result. How should I go about fixing this? I have looked a bit in /var/log but do not know where to look for. Where can I find what is causing this?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I installed VirtualBox ( AMD64 bit version) from here [URL] however whenever I went to run it, it would cause the system to log out (not shut down, just drop out) and return to the login screen. I thought this could be an issue with that version of VirtualBox so I uninstalled and and then installed the version through the Software Centre, however unfortunately it was causing the same problem. I thought this may be a VirtualBox specific issue, however the same thing is now happening since I installed skype (again only when I run Skype).
I understand the description I am giving is very vague, and as such my first question would be : how am I able to produce an error report (of such) that would better suffice in describing the problem? Obviously, if anyone has come across this problem, do they know how to fix it? Sorry, one last thing, and I'm not sure if this matters at all, but I'm running three monitors over two video cards using the Nvidia driver with Xinerema. I only bring this up, because a while back I was running 10.04 with two monitors in Twinview and had no problems.

i just wanted to check if its something silly ive overseen and if anyone else is having this problem...im running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS with latest version of squid 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.2. now when i shutdown or reboot the system, it says something along this lines of umount: /var is busy (check using lsof...). this is followed by text in red: [fail].when the system starts up again, i can see /var journal is recovering, so the /var partition was not cleanly unmounted during shutdown. obviously, there is a risk of filesystem corruption here. FYI, i have /var and other important mountpoints as separate partitions (LVM; ext4).
to confirm my suspicions of squid still running during shutdown, i checked /var/log/squid/cache.log and there is no indication that it received the signal to terminate. if i manually run "stop squid", then cache.log would show that squid has stopped successfully (or words to that effect).to confirm that /var is locked by squid during shutdown, ive added a script to run "lsof | grep var" before filesystems are unmounted. and voila! it indicates that various files used by squid in /var such as swap.state are still open. hence, the next system startup would result in /var recovering journal again.finally, i tried running "stop squid" before issuing the shutdown command and it successfully unmounts /var and i do not get /var recovering journal on the next system startup.

How do I make a server wait on shutdown for a set amount of time?I tried making a service that just does Code: sleep 7m and made it first priority on shutdown but it seems to ignore itI'm pretty sure it runs... I'm currently testing that to make sure

Every shutdown/reboot always hangs on
Code: Select allkvm: exiting hardware virtualization
I have tried rebooting/shutting down with
Code: Select allshutdown -h now
reboot
shutdown -r now
halt
init 0
init 6
And all hang on the same line. This is 100% reproducible. I am not actually running a virtual machine. I don't have qemu-kvm installed. I do have separate partitions on my system. I have a /boot, /, swap, and /home partition.
From looking at other posts: [URL] .....
Solutions tend to be across the board: not unmounting properly, acpi settings in grub, using a different shutdown command.
My fstab file is:
Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
[Code] ....
and the result of Code: Select allmount is
Code: Select allsysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=498135,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=800408k,mode=755)

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..

Here's the relevant Xorg output:

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on an IBM Thinkpad T60, when I try to Logoff, Restart, or Shutdown the system just goes to a black screen and I'm forced to do a hard reset to restart the system. I did a reinstall and things seemed to be working fine until I applied updates and reloaded my package list from my previous install then I got the same conditions as before. I suspect that this my be a result of a bad package or update. What I want to know is if their is a way to display console text of the shutdown process so I can see where the system hangs and possibly remove the problem application. I have an AMD 64 bit desktop running with the same package lists and have no issues I suspect it is a hardware specific issue for the laptop or an error with a 32 bit install.

The umount command sync and release the USB device (pen drive or external HD) from the filesystem, but does not shutdown it, like Nautilus does with the safe remove. How can i properly shutdown it from the command line?

Running slackware-current 32bit. I use digikam-1.7.0, kipi-plugins-1.7.0, and ufraw-0.17 which are all built using the sbo scripts from 13.1 repo. All the above work fine with lensfun-0.2.3 built from sbo, but trying to update lensfun to 0.2.5 causes segfaults in digiKam and ufraw.
Anyone else seen this and is there a fix? Seems to be caused by a change in lensfun between versions, but I think it's beyond me to sort on my own. Lensfun-0.2.5 seems to build fine without errors, but I believe there were warnings with respect to makedep. Digikam and ufraw locate the lensfun libraries during the build. Ufraw segfaults on startup and digikam segfaults when the auto lens correction tool is selected from the menu. I know none of these versions are officially supported either alone or in -current,

I'm experiencing constant system freezes, and was wondering which log file to view in order to determine what is causing it. I switched over from linux mint as it was giving me the same issues now being experience on my debian setup.
When my system does freeze, the keyboard is unresponsive (caps lock won't even turn on) and I have to use the power button to get out of it. The only thing that does work is my wireless mouse which I can still move around.

I'm running firefox 3.6.12 with the following add ons installed: Windows Media Player 10, Div X web player 1.4.0.233 and Flash 10.1 r102. Ubuntu is 32 bit as is the Flash plugin. Quicktime, VLC and iTunes application detector are installed but disabled. I get recurrent episodes whilst using firefox where the entire screen goes grey/black and after a minute or so the login screen appears and I have to enter my password get back to the desktop. I suspect that this is flash related as it normally occurs after watching a few minutes of video. Disabling flash reduces the frequency of the problem but does not eliminate it.

So this just started a few days ago... maybe 7 at the most.
I am working along, and screen goes black, or just freezes... the lights on my laptop start blinking and becomes everything becomes unresponsive.
I have noticed it is usually when I am Using Firefox and Flash content. I have also noticed it happens when using Deluge, but it usually takes 5 minutes to kick in.
I am using firefox at the moment, but I am sure if I load up a ..... video, it will lock up on me again.

I have an intermittent and very irritating problem. I have a desktop PC with Ubuntu Lucid installed that I use primarily for watching films using VLC. Every so often (seemingly at random) around half way through the film the whole thing locks up - the video freezes, the audio skips (like a stuck record) and the system is unresponsive - the only cure is a full restart with the power button. Im at a loss as to how to try and diagnose this issue. Is there a log somewhere that might have the info after I reboot?
Usefull info on the system:
- AMD processor - 64 capable but running 32 as I wanted to avoid issues.
- grpahics is via an NVIDIA Geforce FX5500 (PCI interface NOT AGP)
- Restricted NVIDIA drivers installed and working
- Also useful to note that this problem occured when using an AGP ATI Radeon 9200 (using the standard open source drivers of course). In fact the problem was worse with the ATI - the frequency of lock ups is less with the new set up.

I've just installed F15 over the weekend, and since then I've been having stability issues - primarily it seems to be related to gnome 3 (I've used fedora since its early days, and have never had such stability issues in the prior versions). Basically, when I use gnome-tweak-tool to make a modification, the system crashes; and I have to completely shut off the unit (unplug it) for it to even boot up properly. Today, I tried to change one of the options from its default, and now the very top (black bar) won't show.
I'm in the "File Manager" mode and can see the "Computer", "home" and "Trash" icons. I can move them about; and click on any of them to open. But once they're open nothing else works (clicking on any of the directories, etc, has no effect). I can ctl-alt-F2; but that's the extent. I deleted the .gconf and .gconfd directories (suggested in a different thread on a similar issue), but that didn't change anything. How do I bring back the default gnome 3 bar at the top?
I rebuilt my user account from scratch (that was the fastest approach for me). Nevertheless, gnome-tweak-tool does crash (for example, each time I turn on "File Manager"). This is clearly a bug. I'm using nvidia GTX 480; the problem might somehow be related to the card/driver. I definitely spoke too early I logged out of my account; logged back in, and the top bar is gone again and I'm left with having to deal with this again.

I am using ubuntu 9.10, but I also noticed this with 9.04 on a different laptop. Sometimes when I am using skype, for no reason and after no particular event the audio for everything in the system except for the skype video will just quit, and sometimes the sound doesn't even work for the video either. Buttons don't make their sounds any more and I can't play music or hear audio on flash videos. By can't play music, its weird because the music player (amarok) will just scroll through my entire playlist really fast like it can't play any of the songs.
To solve the problem, I have to shut down skype and firefox, but I'm not sure whether I can just shut one of them down without having to shut down the other. My audio settings in skype are all set to pulse and it is adjusting the mixer levels automatically. This problem has persisted across two laptops and two versions of ubuntu (9.04 32 bit and 9.10 64 bit), so I think it's about time I finally asked how to fix it.

Whenever I'm browsing the web on one of my natty machines, I'm subject to periodic reboots that leave nothing in the syslog. Here's the two constants I've discovered thus far.
It only happens when I'm using a browser (plugin?).
It doesn't matter whether I'm in Chromium or Firefox.
It doesn't matter whether I use Unity or Gnome 2.
This happens every 2-3 days from what I can tell.
This problem is not power related because I've tested it with and without an UPS present.
The computer does a full reboot without any shutdown procedure.
The configuration of this computer is as follows:
Intel i3 2100
ECS H67 Dual Nic
Haupaugge Dual ATSC Tuner
MDADM RAID 10
8GB 1333MHz (MemTested)
The browser plugins are as follows:
Flash 10.3r181
VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.32.0)
Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Totem)
DivX Web Player version 1.4.0.233
QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6

Is there any Slackware-current or Slackware64-current users in the LQ Slackware forum experiencing lags or slowdown on Dolphin file manager on KDE 4.5.1? I experienced this first on KDE 4.5.0, after the current update KDE to 4.5.1 I still have this problem.
Hovering mouse on a file can take a while, opening a text file with kwrite took several seconds and dolphin window will appear blank (like hang). Sometimes Dolphin crashed when opening file, changing directory or hovering mouse on a file.
Quick googling points to this discussion at http://dot.kde.org/2010/08/31/kde-releases-451 which suggest a bug in libdbus.

I'm running an x86 Slackware 13. When i start emacs with auctex enable, or when i launch latex, the process hang.
For emacs i have found that it's kpsewhich that try to scan my whole home (lot of Gb).
The problem is that i had defined my home directory with a trailing slash. If i remove the trailing slash, there isn't any problem. If you want to reproduce the bug try :
Code:
HOME=/home/you/ /usr/share/texmf/bin/kpsewhich -debug=90 -help
HOME=/home/you /usr/share/texmf/bin/kpsewhich -debug=90 -help
On the doc page of kpathsea, there is a section "tilde expansion" [URL] that say :
Quote:
As a special case, if a home directory ends in `/', the trailing slash is dropped, to avoid inadvertently creating a `//' construct in the path.
So my question is : do you think there is a bug in kpsewhich ?
