I'm using Slackware 13.1 on my laptop, and sometime ago it make some beeps on shutdown, and when I don't find any word on a page on Firefox(using the find tool on Firefox).
View 2 RepliesThe documentation talks about the /var/run/utmp not being corrupted. Should I be able to tail that? When I do the screen goes crazy and beeps and beeps. If it should be a file that I can read, can I rm it and then touch it

Last week I installed suse 11.3. Most of the time it runs fine, but sometimes my laptop just hangs. Mostly I'm just browsing the internet using firefox. For example when I just installed opensuse, and I tried to maximize the terminal window it would hang and not recover. I'm not sure what is causing it. When it hangs I also can't move the mouse pointer, or open the system activity window. I'm not sure I have the minimum specs for kde though, but I can run kde without any problems, it's fast, it reacts fast. At first I thought maybe the amount of ram 512 was not enough so I turned off all the kde effects, but it still seems to crash once in while. I tried checking .xsession-errors to see if I could find something, and I found this

My laptop, which is running Ubuntu 9.10, will periodically make a sound that sounds like someone is plugging something into a sound jack. I will try to get a recording of it, but that doesn't seem likely anytime soon. I tried disabling my internal mic, and that didn't fix it. It makes it even when my speakers are muted, which makes me think it's because some hardware is not correctly configured. I have an HP dv6236us laptop.
Here is my lspci output. Dunno if it will help, but it can't hurt: Code: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

I dont want to go by synaptic application one by one for update the whole thing!
Surely there should be a easier way!
I was thinking there must be a command which would list all the package installed on my old PC
and then take that list to synaptic some how to look for the newest package on the repository and install it!
user of Kubuntu 10.0.4. So far, one of the major things I miss is the ability to have my system sleep when I close the lid of my laptop. Any tips on how to enable this behavior? Note: as I said, I'm brand new to linux, so the simpler you can explain things, the better!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had my netbook which is an Acer AspireOne lock up on me once earlier today and after doing a hard shutdown *holding the power button* and booting it back up I noticed that I could no longer reboot the machine from KDE's graphical shutdown button. Basically I click it and it pops up with the 30 second count down and then nothing. However I can run as root,
Code:
Shutdown -r now
and it will comply and reboot. I did notice that rngd was returning an exit status 1 and after some research decided to uninstall it with no change to anything. I decided to attempt and see if it was just a KDE issue as many problems have been, but when I attempted to log into Gnome I got a very nice white screen with one black line where the taskbar should be. Whether they are related or just coincidence I don't know.
I've ran my google researching skills into the ground on this one and I'm tired and a bit grumpy because I haven't been sleeping so it'd be awesome if I could get a heads up, because to my knowledge it's not reporting any errors it just seems to hang without sending the shutdown signals.
When running Jaunty, I could press the power button and my laptop turned off. Now in Karmic, I am all the time asked to provide my password when shutting down. I am the only user. Can this be changed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an old lap top thats in good nick and I installed 10.10 on it. I had only used 10.9 before on my other old and rubbish acer. On 10.10 I have a problem where when I unplug the charger the computer boots down instantly. However, unlike all the treads I have seen, my computer can be re-started and run off battery for hours with no problem. I have mentioned this just now on the hardware thread but I don't see how its a hardware problem so I thought I should put it here.I also have a problem with the wireless/Internet becoming disabled after it goes to sleep. Only way to solve it is to restart it. I have checked the options in my inexpert way but have found no command to provoke such behavior. Has anyone tried re-booting when their "battery dies" after charger removed?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running a Debian on a laptop (actually a netbook: Asus EEE 1001PX) as a cheap homeserver. However I'd like it to automatically "shutdown -h NOW" when I remove the AC plug (switch it off at the wall). Otherwise I have to ssh to it and call it myself, and that just sucks Can I somehow detect the removal of AC power and upon that run a script ?

Never happen before,I don't know what happen. This laptop only support 2D,there's no 3D graphic driver,so no visual effect apply.

* Before it auto shutdown,I place my laptop on desk with a simple rack to lift the rear from desk about 5cm,without cooling pad,and no direct wind flow from my desk fan as I always did.
My Toshiba A300 laptop turns itself on after about 4 minutes from the shutdown. This doesn't happen with Win7. When it turns on, I shutdown using the power off button and it doesn't turn on again. I disabled all the wake options in the BIOS, also I uninstalled the ACPI, but this did not help. I also disabled the WOL in Ubuntu with "sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol d" before the shutdown, but this didn't helped too.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make my system automatically shutdown once the battery level is low, but still without success. I've tried kpowersave, gnome-power-manager, kpower, klaptop but none of these worked for me. Well, I can't imagine I would be that stupid, but simply it doesn't work. In all cases mentioned above (kpower, klaptop, gnome-power-manager) I've tried to setup the laptop to shutdown once the defined level is reached, but the laptop never actually switched off unless all the battery was drained.
Btw. I think all the above mentioned apps only work once the user is logged in. But I'd like the solution to work also when the PC is on without anyone logged in. I thought I could write a bash script based on parsing of acpitools output and define it as a service, which would monitor the battery level, but I simply don't believe there isn't any functional solution to this.
I have a weird problem, i have an LG LCD screen that i connect to my laptop via HDMI through nVidia. I was watching full length movies and everything worked perfectly. So, i got myself a new, slightly bigger LG LCD, and now, when I play a movie, about 20-60 minutes into the movie, my machine just turns off. doesnt even shutdown properly, just turns itself off, as if the power ran out (which it didnt..)
I thought maybe i had too many things installed, or mabe i should wait for a new version.. so i waited till i reinstalled a fresh 10.4 on a new partition, played a movie, and again, the machine just suddenly turned itself off.
i tried looking in the system log viewer, but between shutdown and startup, i see nothing special (besides ALOT of "rt_ioctl_giwscan. 1(1) BSS returned, data->length = 105")..
i tried running 64bit & 32bit and it has the same error.
I installed Tweetdeck. I stick the icon on the launcher. However, when I restart/shutdown my laptop, the icon is no longer in the launcher. So I have to go to opt/tweetdeck/bin to start the application. regarding the issue? Why does the Tweetdeck icon keeps on missing on the launcher everytime I start my Ubuntu. By the way I am using Ubuntu 11.04.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy computer, a four year old HP Pavilion dv2000 running with Ubuntu 9.10 since half a year ago, sometimes shut downs and sometimes gets me to a black screen where I can read in the first line: �Ubuntu 9.10 pablo-laptop tty1� and in the second line: �login pablo-laptop:�. Sometimes (only) it allows me to log in, taking me to the login screen that appears after switching on the computer. After logging in on that screen it initiates the computer but all the programs I had opened are closed and I have lost the information. This has been happening to me since long ago but never asked in forums. It is quite annoying and I would be happy to solve it.
Do you think it ca be the CMOS battery? This other thing (check the link below) happened to me not long ago and some people suggested it could be the CMOS battery: [URL]

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to try making my desktop into a functioning web server on the web, if this is possible. The plan is to have web pages attached to a database where data provided by the users will be stored and to have programs that will process this data to generate new pages or PDF reports. I plan to user FireBird as the database manager and build the front end with Lazarus, if possible. My desktop is a small Acer with a 1TB hard disk. At the moment it has 1 partition containing Windows 7 which I would like to keep, for now. My internet connection is a phone company supplied standard residential high speed. Here are my questions, if this idea is actually possible:How should I partition the disk or is a root and home partition OK? When I install Slackware, is there anything special that I must do? How do I actually let the web know that this server exists? Are there any Slackware specific sites where I can learn how to do this type of stuff?

I noticed a few days ago that my asus g60vx-rbbx05 beeps. It doesn't however while the POST. It never beeped during POST so I guess not beeping is the way it tells me it is alright. It beeps while the software is working, after it is booted. I use fedora 14. I have no idea why though because it seems to do it randomly. I first thought that it did it when the CPU was running at high frequencies but that's not the case. It even beeped while I was writing this post and I don't have anything else running except Firefox.
