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 have a Dell Latitude D610, installed Ubuntu 9.10 with wubi and Win XP professional. I had only one problem booting which was fixed immediately by meierfra, but now the Ubuntu won't shut down. The final message is "ubuntu 9.10 login", then the screen freezes.Oddly when I restart from Ubuntu it shuts down enough to reboot into either Windows or back into Ubuntu. To shut down from Ubuntu I'm now holding down the start switch until the machine stops. effective but inelegant.

Recently I built a new computer, making my old laptop redundant, so I thought I'd turn it into a portable studio computer with linux. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 with the low latency kernal and the ubuntustudio audio packages. And while the system still has many other kinks I need to work out, my main issue is heat. Even when I'm running the official Ubuntu kernal rather than real-time one, I'll use the laptop for basic browsing and messaging.
Suddenly Ubuntu crashes with a warning saying that my laptop is too hot and has to shut down. The only way I've found around this is to run the laptop from cold with an external fan blow right onto the computer. I can still hear the fan working and airflow is totally unrestricted. If it helps, the laptop is 4 years old and is a Acer Ferrari 4000. I never had these issues running XP on it for the past 3 1/2 years and I'm relatively new to running a Linux system.

I was so pleased with Ubuntu (9.10) on my desktop that I installed it on my laptop, too. However, on the laptop (but not on the desktop) I cannot shut down properly. I get a black screen with the following text:
Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) ttyl (my computer name) login: (flashing cursor)
On one occasion I got:
Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) ttyl (my computer name) login: init: usplash main process (10187) killed by TERM signal
In either case it hangs there and does not completely shut down.

And I can't find it on the panel apps list:
It was there when I logged on this morning, it's not there now, instead replaced by '15, 16:54' (no that's not the time, it's to the left of my clock right where the session button normally is). There's a shut down button in the apps list but it's not the same as the original that was there...
EDIT: and now it's back. And in fact it WAS the time, it was the 15 (date) and time. Dunno what made it crash. A log out and it's back on.

OK, so basically my problem is that I can't log out, shut down, or restart my computer through the GUI. The thing is, it used to work. Note: this started happening right after I put in the lock / logout widget, but it's really a pain to have to go through the Kickoff menu to lock the screen each time, and leaving my files, online accounts, and what's on my screen open to anyone who wants to snoop is not an option. I may have to just suck it up and lock the screen the old-fashioned way, but only as a last resort.
Configuration: An older Gateway (idk the exact specs) desktop machine with Windows XP and Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic (dual-boot)

Since a long time I have a problem when shutting down my computer. I have ubuntu 8.04 installed, and I do install regularly all the updates including new kernels, etc. Here are the symptoms: After pressing "shutdown" (or issuing a command in terminal) it happens (always) that the screen is still working at the end of shutdown process (ubuntu progress bar is at minimum and it stays visible). Also, CPU fan is still working. However, power and HDD lights go off.
The only possible way to shutdown computer at that moment is holding power button for 5 seconds. However, restart works OK. Now, I am sure that shutdown worked earlier fine, but unfortunately I cannot remember when the problems started: either when I installed 8.04 or after installing some of the kernel updates. Configuration: Asus 5pgl-mx motherboard, 1.5 GB ram, nvidia graphic card (sorry, not sure what model), etc.

When I shut my Ubuntu 10.04 (Dell B110) down, it immediately turns back on and boots up.The same thing happens when I shut the machine down via the terminal (sudo shutdown -h now)The machine also boots up into XP and Win 7. When I shut down the machine from those two OS's, it works fine.I have found a thread or two here in which users seem to be reporting a similar problem --- but they all seem to be able to shut down via the command line

I have an Asus Eee PC 1001HA netbook with a recent installation of Ubuntu 10.10. When I press the shut down button it freezes but with the following command there is no problem:sudo halt I have tried changing a line in /etc/default/grub as some threads said:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
With no success (updating grub, of course).

At the log in screen it said something like: The Gnome power manager settings have not been correctly installed. This prevented me from going beyond the log in screen, it just dropped back to it after I put in my password. I was able to log in by running Code:sudo apt-get remove gnome-power-managerToday upon starting this message is not there but after putting my password in it goes back to the log in screen. Also it's "old-school" theme (pure gnome) not ubuntu-style

I am having following problem: Next to everytime, when I try to shut my pc down, KDE crashes, which is pretty annoying, because I like to download stuff over night and therefore I want to shut this pc down automatically. This is obviously not working when kde crashes everytime. I know that kde is not very stable, but is it really that bad? Is this a common issue?

I have had an issue with the log out since yesterday. instead of shutting down the computer, the computer loaded the GDM. The only way to shut down is to click the log out on the GDM. What to do to resolve it?

I'm having an issue with a PC ( Gateway GT5220 ), with Ubuntu 64 bit 8.04 installed. There was Vista originally installed in it.
Now, every time I execute shutdown from GUI or command line, the PC reboots and never shuts down on its own, I have to keep pressed the power button for a few secs to power it off. It's very irritating and I don't know wether it's a Ubuntu or a BIOS issue.

In recent versions of Ubuntu, it is possible to click on the top right corner to choose to shut, down, log out, etc as opposed to having buttons that need to be clicked on followed by other buttons. Ubuntu's current utility works by clicking on the top right corner which shows a list without opening a new mini-window or anything allowing me to select however it is that I want to change the state of my computer if it wasn't obvious as to what I am referring to.

I use Mythbuntu 9.10 as HTPC and I got where I can turnoff the computer using remote. But how can I get a "beep" to be played during shutdown? by this I would know the computer is shutting off - it is behind a glas door so I don't see if the led's turns off.

I seem to get different options depending on the user. On my main, admin user, when I click on the `power button` icon on the right of my taskbar, I get a choice of:
shutdown
restart
suspend
hibernate
and if I want to log off I click on the start button.but when I log on as my `guest` user, who has next to no permissions, I get log off, switch user etc on the `power button` icon. It would be nice to have all these options on the `power button` icon on my admin user. Can this be achieved? Why are they different?

Since I upgraded to 10.04 Lucid the Shut Down applet puts up a window titled "Shut Down" that has two buttons "Cancel" and "Shut Down". In 9.04 this confirmation window didn't appear. How can I make "Shut Down" skip the confirmation and shut down directly? I've looked around for a preference item about that a couple of times but didn't find it.

Is there a handy program that wipes my RAM at each shut down to prevent RAM attacks and recovering passphrases? Is this even possible? I have a truecrypt volume and have read that it is vulnerable to these RAM attacks.

I'm going to guess this has to do with me updating yesterday, as there were no problems before that. Which kind of ticks me off, because I came back to ubuntu because I got tired of micromanaging updates in arch.
Audio is down. The volume can be changed, but it isn't reflected in the volume icon at the top of the screen. Sound preferences show the only output available is a dummy speaker. When I try to restart or shut down, it just logs me out of my profile and takes me to the login screen. As always, if you need more info, just tell me where to find it.
