Slackware :: Turn Off Or Reboot Machine By Command Failed
Nov 4, 2010
I am using Slackware 13.1 on my Asus K40IN, I also use dual boot by LILO with Windows XP. In Windows XP I can reboot or shutdown by select Start -> Turn off Computer, or just physically push the power button, then the machine will shutdown. In my Slackware 13.1, I can physically push the power button, the machine show that it is switching to run level 0, and then it will power off. However, I can not turn it off or restart my machine by the command (run "halt" or "reboot" as root), it show identical things like when I physically push button, but when it turn to status "Restarting machine" or "Turning off machine", my computer hang there, it does not power off machine or restart it. Is there any one experienced this situation? What should I do to fix it?

I have had a notebook with an ethernet plugged in cable before, sent a signal through the cable by resetting my router, and it switched my notebook on from cold. My question is, is there a way of doing this using a remote desktop client. Ideally, I would like a machine switched off at home running suse linux/windows, then have a client computer sent the remote request, this in turn activates the machine, which boots and then gives the rmote client control.

My card Wifi network doesn't turn on, even at loading configuration of the system is failed. I have to wait a long time until the system itself to load.
And when I write ifconfig or iwconfig is displayed in the console interface wireless card.
And when I come in the panel on the network card, it immediately pops up a window that you can not load the network card modules.
I don't know what could have happened, I do not recall that I recently messed with the system.
Here are the pictures: [URL]....
And here I join dmesg.log file, at the end of a failed: [URL] ....
I have linux mint 17 quiana cinnamon

we've just bought 30 newest nettops ACER Aspire R3700 with ION 2. I've tried ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu. Everything works as expected, but... the first one freezes when trying to reboot, shutdown or enter sleep mode. Checked on several hardware units. The desktop just freezes and nothing happens (ubuntu 10.10, both x32 and amd64). Also no one installs the wi-fi drivers, only ethernet

It took me a while..But I finally got samba to be a pdc. I was able to join a test xp machine to the new domain samba made. That part worked well. In my Swat I added a samba new user and password. restarted samba etc.. Then tried to log in from the xp with the new user name as the password. As I hit enter im waiting for it to log in..the XP machine reboots. It seems to do that ever time I try. Im sure theres something not qit right in samba.conf or is it something else.

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine networked with my Lucid machine. When I reboot my Windows machine, the only way I can access the shared drives is to also reboot the Lucid machine. Can anyone tell me why this is, and, more importantly, how to make it stop that?

I have an ACER Travelmate 32600-4542. The original OS was windows XP. I installed Linux Mint 10.0. I ran that a little while and for some reason it wasslow and would occasionally freeze for a few seconds at a time. I got sick of that andid a clean install of Slackware 13.1. The problem I am having now is the wireless won't come onI try to switch the power switch and it will not turn on. I am fairly new to Linux and don't even know where to start to find out why it isn't turning on. I didn't have any problems with it turning on with Mint.

If you're running samba server on your Slackware box on a windows network / domain, and you don't want it showing up on the windows computers network neighborhood browser, there's a couple of things you have to do. First, add the line:
disable netbios = yes to the global section of smb.conf. This didn't work for me so I also figured out the next step:
Second, edit the rc.samba script and remove the references to starting or restarting nmbd.
In this line: if [ -x /usr/sbin/smbd -a -x /usr/sbin/nmbd -a -r /etc/samba/smb.conf ]; then
Remove the reference to nmbd (underlined above) so it looks like this:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/smbd -a -r /etc/samba/smb.conf ]; then
Then comment out with a # this part: #echo " /usr/sbin/nmbd -D" # /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
and add a comment # mark here (right before nmbd)
samba_stop() {
killall smbd # nmbd
underlined above, then restart samba or reboot. The first step may not be necessary if you make the changes to rc.samba but I did both and that took care of it.

Few days ago we had a server maintenance. The system was shutdown, we fix the CPU fan, and start the system again. But somehow when the system starts, our IMAP server - dovecot is not running. It just sit like a rock. Because the machine had a CPanel/WHM, I tried to restart dovecot using cpanel and got a message:
Code:
That was not really useful....
When I tried to restart dovecot using command line, I got nothing. really nothing.
Code:
How to find out what happens to my IMAP/dovecot? And anyway to make it run again?
I'm using CentOS 5.5 X64 with dovecot 1.2.16

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'm trying to turn on the system bell (pc speaker) in xterm. I have the bell working in console (text mode, not under X), and with X running, even firefox can use the pc speaker (it beeps, when I enter a search term which is not found). Only xterm doesn't seem to work.
Here is my xterm config, and the xset command I'm trying to use to turn the bell on:
-------###--------
xterm*renderFont: true
xterm*faceName: Terminus
xterm*faceSize: 12
xterm*loginShell: true
!xterm*Geometry: 102x48+0+0
xterm*Geometry: 102x48
xterm*scrollBar: false
xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: white
!xterm*highlightColor: red
xterm*charClass: 46-47:48
xterm*visualBell: false
-------###--------
xset b on
xset bell 100 1000 1000
-------###--------
If I run xterm with the +vb option, it doesn't help either (I'm testing it with printf "a"). What am I missing? How can I make xterm use my pc speaker as bell?

I once had wicd running at KDE startup as I was just playing around with it. The problem is I now have turned off rc.wicd and don't want to use wicd any more. Every time I start KDE it still asks for the root password which I cancel and it then tells me it can't connect to wicd's dbus. This is getting really annoying as I have been trawling through my ~ looking for the setting that starts this up. I just want wicd turning off completely and this message to go away.

I am experiencing serious trouble with my nfs server at office. That server contains the home directory which is exported to all our desktops. Since a few days now, it gets freezed and thus our desktops as well. I found a way to unfreeze it by pushing the power button, the server does not reboot but instead open the boot popup, i then click on cancel. I checked the dmesg file and found these messages:

As I walked in my office this morning, before getting withing 5 feet of my computer, the computer started an unscheduled auto reboot but failed. After hard reset, unplugging, etc., it will still not boot off of primary system. Used Live disk of previous Ubuntu to gain access to system. Found bug#407862 regarding 'rsyslogd was HUPed' but don't know what that has to do with this specific problem. [URL]. The initial error message on screen was something like "no system disk. Insert system disk and press enter", as if I had a non-bootable CDROM inserted, but there was nothing like that.
/var/log/syslog says this:
Nov 30 07:59:05 my-computer-name rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="908" x-info= URL] rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'.
Nov 30 07:59:05 my-computer-name anacron[5755]: Job `cron.daily' terminated
Nov 30 07:59:05 my-computer-name anacron[5755]: Normal exit (1 job run)

Hundreds of previous syslog entries contain the following line:

I recently upgraded the hard drive on my Fujitsu N3530 notebook to WD Scorpio Blue 500 MB, and created a dual-boot configuration with WinXP, installing 32-bit Slackware 13.1 from DVD. Grub 0.97 bootloader is installed on superblock of root partition. Running KDE. Using the generic kernel with appropriate initrd for ext4 filesystem on root partition.
Everything runs fine so far, except the computer won't power off the computer. I've tried using the KDE shutdown, and shutting down from command line - same result. Also same result if I use the huge kernel or the generic kernel.
The last message I see is:
Remounting root filesystem read-only.
/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (ro)
Power down.
... and then the shutdown process stalls and I have to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.
This is the first time I've installed any Linux OS on this notebook. I have Slackware 13.0 running fine on a Thinkpad T61 with no poweroff issue.
From reading various posts, this looks to be related to ACPI. I tried adding "acpi=force" to the kernel line in menu.lst, but it made no difference.
/var/log/messages shows "acpid exiting" and then "exiting on signal 15" as last entries during shutdown.s.

For now I've worked around it by disabling desktop effects.
