Software :: Clean Way To Shut Down X Server
Apr 14, 2010
I like to end my X session in Arch on a regular basis. I always use'killall xinit'..This gives a lot of WARNING's and ERROR's. Among the messages are some lines about syntax errors in my config files, I think. But mostly it's about a "Fatal IO error" and gnome-settings-daemon not knowing what session it is in.Is there a gentler way to put X down? Or is this how it should be?I tried killing some of the processes that claim to be interrupted, before killing X, to no avail.

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

I've just installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 on an old laptop. I would like the screen to automatically shut off after, say, a minute of inactivity.
- After some time, the monitor blanks but the backlight does not power down.
- I do not have a gui installed, and do not want to install one since this is a server. Most of the solutions I've found involve running X or KDE.
- It's an old laptop and the lid switch is broken, so closing the lid won't work.

There is a server which was installed 3 days back. It got Cent OS 5.4 64 Bit with 4 GB RAM. Apache, MySQL, PHP and vsFTPd were installed using yum.Server was on the network and approx 100 visitors were on the website. All of sudden server got down. It stopping responding ping. Server guys told that server got down and after a request submission, they restarted server. However reason of the problem is still unknown. I logged in to shell via SSH and checked /var/log/messages file, but didn't find any record which indicate cause of system shutdown. However dates in this file aren't in chronological order.
Is there any way or log file to check for the exact reason, why system got down. One reason could be hardware fault (for that I am going to ask hosting company to run diagnostics). Other reason could be a software/os bug. Is there any tool / log file to check and diagnose the cause.

Is there any difference between apt-get clean and aptitude clean? Do they both remove the same caches? Should I know any other commands for cleaning up wasted space on my ubuntu laptop?

I am running a local webserver mainly for development. I have everything set up. The issue I currently have is that I cannot shut down the machine from the command line. I can issue the command but the machine remains on. I also cannot get to the desktop via VNC.The reason for this, is that there is no monitor attached so Ubuntu says that it is trying to run in Low Graphics Mode. I found this out as I plugged the monitor in to my server.So question is, how do I get around this? How can I set up Ubuntu to get past this, or do I need to install Ubuntu Server?

I just installed LXDE and configured the .xinitrc file and when I gave the command "startx" and it tried to start, but stopped with this error message
Waiting for X server to shut down error setting MTRR
(base = 0xf0000000, size = 0x04000000, type = 1) Inappropriate ioctl for device (25)
I am not sure if I configured the .xinitrc file correctly, so that may be the problem.

The /var directory is 97% full on my dedicated server:
I would like to know if it is safe to clear it and how to clear it (assuming it will not disrupt/kill server services to do so).
I have Matrix control panel so i can view the storage etc but it does not have an way of clearing the /Var directory.
I have Putty Access to root but do not know which command to use.
I found a few threads but the information is not clear to me as there seems to be an assumption of basic knowledge I don't yet have.
My linux/ubuntu support that usually does this kind of thing for me is away and not contactable and my server is grinding to a halt and unable to store/send email.
I have only a very basic understanding of command line but really need to get this sorted ASAP.

I have installed Ubuntu Server three times now. It "NEVER" asks for a "USERNAME". I can't log in to the clean install. Guess what? I never entered a username, so I don't know what it is. I have never logged in. Don't ask me to go to /etc/, I can't log in. It is NOT a video proplem, Ubunto Server is command line OS.
Login incorrect: [system-name] login: Login time out after 60 seconds.
I'm asked to enter a network system name during install. I'm asked for a password, then repeat it during install. but never asks for a "UserName" during install. So, what is it? root? ubuntu? default? Nope, I've tried many many many of them, even admin, nothing works.

I have been running a web server from my fedora box for ~ 2 years now, though I have done terrible things to it by way of configuration settings. It seemingly works fine now, but i suspect that I have done some things in an innapropriate way. I would like to remove all of my current settings and web accessable info, and start fresh. What is the cleanest way to set my server's configuration files back to basics (not conserned about system settings related to firewalls).

I have a clean installation of Ubuntu Server 10.04 x64 on an HP Proliant DL380 G3. It has two Broadcom NICs in addition to its ILO. During the installation, both NICs were listed... but neither was able to pull DHCP, nor did they function with manual settings. The first NIC is currently connected and is known good. So I left it alone and figured I'd troubleshoot it later (which is now). This server is going to be a VMware Server host. I wanted to install ESXi on it, but it doesn't like the old server's cheap ICH RAID controller.
[Code]...
I noticed here it says they're disabled. so I thought perhaps this was a 64-bit driver issue. So, I booted my trusty Ubuntu desktop 10.04 32-bit live cd, and the NIC works fine. Now, here's where it gets weird. Seeing that, I booted it to Ubuntu server 10.04 32-bit installation from a flash drive, expecting to see the NICs working fine during the installation.

Ok so I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Server Edition. On the very first boot, everything seems to run perfectly. I can SSH into it from any remote computer with no problems. However, the installation of certain things calls for a system reboot, which 2 days ago never would have been a problem. But now for some reason, the SSH server only wants to work on the very first boot of a clean install. After I reboot it, I get the ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.180 port 22: No route to host error. The absurd part is sshd is running! I've even tried restarting sshd, restarting the server, and using both 64 and 32 bit installs. The only way I can get anything to connect to it is by using ssh localhost. It won't even let me connect using the IP on the local machine!

I messed up the first installation of Fedora on my server. My setup is as follows: Fedora and Gnome - NFS system, No dual boot (Windows or anything) Fedora ISO DVD downloaded No kickstart or other tools. how to set this up, from the time I insert the disk and have it boot up (configged already to boot from it). I know how to wipe it clean at intall time. Is that the root directory? And, is /boot the actual boot directory? I'm just having a hard time uderstanding that. As I said, I just want a quick itemized list, step 1, step 2, etc, from partitioning, creating file system, mounting, etc. in the right order.

I powered down my file server this morning and started it back up a little while ago. One of the drive in a raid 6 array hung the system if it's inserted so after a little tomfoolery to identify the trouble drive. After removing it I finally have it booting but the raid array come up as inactive and all spares.I've "mdadm --examined" all the remaining drive in the drive in the raid6 array and the "events" are all the same, "2085124".When I assemble the array I get
Code:
mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdj1 /dev/sdg1

Recently I've gotten myself a VPS and tried to begin small - 512 MB Memory, 10gb HD.
Ubuntu 10.04 got installed on it and decided to make a user for myself besides root, installed a lamp enviroment and let that extra user own /var/www, since im the only one developing on the vps.
Then I ran the free -m command... shockingly it had 450 mb in use, and around 40-60 mb free (varieing around a bit).
Is this normal? If so - why are company's selling vps'es with 256 mb ram... thats just ... not logical ;x
Ran the free -m command again after letting it idle for about 5 mins. Same results.
the 'top' command tells me that the cpu is boring itself with around 1% use.. not a suprise with only lamp on it and 0 visitors yet =P
So ... why does ubuntu take up nearly all my precious memory? should I upgrade to 1 GB of memory to be completely safe I dont run out of resources or is something else going on here?
Discovered I was miss-reading the free -m command. To avoid confusion in the future I install htop, which is configurable to show a... nicer view of what's being used by what. Turns out I was using 50 mb.. >.>
