Ubuntu :: 10 Machine Won't Shut Down?
Jun 30, 2010
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 disabled autologin as one suggestion on how to get the machine to shut down.
But now, I cannot get to the system, except at a command prompt, and gdm will not give the display. I can login, but cannot do anything else, including getting to a desktop or to the administration section to recheck the autologin option.
How do I do this?

I recently got my laptop setup as an Ubuntu machine, but if I just leave it running, after a while I'll look over and see that it has shut down. I have gone through the power management options and I do not see anything there regarding this. So I was wondering if this is a feature in the 10.04 version?

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 have installed the guest OS on the redhat 5 with XEN. I found the guest OS can be started on host boot UP, but it cannot be shutdown on host shutdown. so,I need to creat the script to shut down the virtual machine
The script as following:
# Get the VM list
VMLIST=`xm list`
for VM in $VMLIST
do
xm shutdown $VM
# delay a bit the next sequence
sleep 3
done
run the script,the virtual machine can be shutdown, bu at the same time the error info will appear:
Error: Domain 'Name' does not exist.
[Code]...
So,all the strings in the line of the output regard as the Name of VM The script will run the command like "xm shutdown Time(s)" ,"xm shutdown State",and so on. How Can I get the guest OS name in the output of "xm list" I just nend to get the virtual machine name, the script to run the command "xm shutdown windows2003" and "xm shutdown windowsXP" how to find the strings "windows2003" and "windowsXP" when input the command "xm list"

I am using debian testing on my office pc, but i need to access it's desktop from time to time. So i need No machine/teamviewer software that can provide me with possibility to interact my desktop.

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 try to access my ubuntu machine via my Windows Machine (Samba Server on Ubuntu Machine). Anytime I try to access the machine it asks me for my password...I enter it but it says it is invalid....is there anyway to reset it? I have already tried to remove and purge everything Samba related and then tried reinstalling, but that still didn't do anything

I read once that you could use VMWare's converter to convert a physical machine into a virtual machine to run in VirtualBox. Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or just give me instructions on how to do this? I was very confused by the converter and how to get the image to work with virtualbox.

I have an ubuntu kk laptop connected via wireless to my mixed network (xp, win7, other ubuntu), but i can not ping said machine or connect via ssh. Internet and smb-browsing ON this machine work, as does pinging FROM it. If this was a windows machine, I'd say a firewall is in the way, but since it's a vanilla karmic install, this should not be the case (or should it?).

It seems whenever i create a folder it creates the folder as untitled folder, but i can't change the folder name it just says "you don't have permission to rename item" but yet i created the folder and it is there. One thing i have noticed is that once i enter a folder it won't even let me move the folder.

I remember it being really easy to add a printer attached to another computer using Ubuntu, but I don't remember exactly what made it so easy. All I know is that now that I have switched to Kubuntu the process has become much harder because now I have to find out some special locations, numbers etc. for it to connect to the printer. It's connected to a Windows XP machine on the other side of the house.
It says alot about 'contacting the network administrator' if I am unsure about what to put in. But I am more or less the network administrator. how to find out what numbers to put in so that my Linux machine can connect and print to the Windows machine? Or maybe someone knows a few commands to share? I go to Applications > Settings > System settings, Printer configuration, New Printer, New Network printer, and then there are a few options but I don't know which one to choose. Windows Printer via Samba, I guess? Then in the box that says smb://[enter stuff here] I need to put in info but I don't know how to find that info.

I have ubuntu-8.04.1-server installed on virtual machine. It works perfect. Now, I made copy of this virtual machine. I started that copied machine and it works fine, except one thing: network does not work!
I have several others VMs with freeBSD, openBSD or Windows on it, but only ubuntu machine hes network problem after coping. I tried some other VM with ubuntu on it - same problem! I downloaded VM with ubuntu - same problem.I take a look into /etc/network/interfaces file and it looks just as it should (same as before coping) but ifconfig command returns parameters for lo only (before coping there was eth0 and lo).

I am trying to establish the easiest way to share a folder from an Ubuntu machine to a Windows machine.In the past I have added things to smb.conf and that has all worked fine but what I am trying to do is to figure out what the "new user" way of doing this is so that when I am helping other people I know I am getting them to do the simplest thing.I completely removed samba and reinstalled it so that I didn't have any configuration. Right clicked on a folder and selected "Sharing Options" ticked the "Share this folder box" gave it a name and a comment and ticked the other two boxes.
When I went to the windows laptop then it kept asking for a username/password and nothing worked.Back on the ubuntu machine I did sudo smbpasswd -a [username] and created a blank password. Now from the windows machine I can access the shared folder.Is the smbpasswd step still required? It's very confusing for a new user as there is no suggestion that anything other than right clicking on the folder and choosing the options you want would be required. Is it something to do with the fact that this is an ubuntu machine that has gradually been upgraded through versions and this problem wouldn't have been there from a new install?

I have been trying to SCP a couple files from my Ubuntu 10.10 machine to a Fedora 12 machine. Before today, did it with out any problems, always worked. Today however; after the SCP is complete from my machine, the file on the other machine is zero bytes, an empty file. The only thing I can remember getting changed was the new kernel that was in the update I did today. But I don't think that would have changed the SCP works.

I can set-up an ssh tunnel from machine A to Machine B:-
fred@my-linux:~$ ssh -P myport fred@myserver.homelinux.com
I can successfully logon to machine A to Machine B.
what address and port will my tunnel 'appear' on machine B? I want to send a stream back from B to A up the encrypted tunnel, not over the open network.

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.

I have a ubuntu 9.04 machine i'm using as a file server. I'm able to see that machine from any XP machine, connect to it's shares play music, movies, work off of it NO problems. But i can't view the shares from a windows 7 home edition PC (garbage). AND, from the ubuntu PC, i can't see any of the other shares on network. I get "Fail to receive share list from server".
NOTE: Originally i had this machine connected with wireless card because of location. and I was able to see all shares then - both ways (still not from Windows 7 PCs though). However, when I moved to hard wire connection, the network disappeared. I've tried changing IP addresses, changing switches, but no network. I'd like to keep it hard wire. Can anyone point me in right direction or am i missing information?

I have a really weird one. This may be a putty issue, or it may be a config issue in Ubuntu. I've no idea who to blame. I have four machines involved in my little issue that has me scratching my head on where to even BEGIN to diagnose what is going on. The computer I'm attempting to connect to (For identification purposes, I'll call it the main machine) is running a relatively new install of KUbuntu 10.04, stock install of openssh daemon. ufw is disabled, firewalls are off, etc, and I can prove that later.
The machine acting odd is a Win XP 32 bit running Putty. Haven't had a problem until this reload of the previously mentioned machine. A Work machine that is running RedHad of some flavour. A Virtual Machine running a headless setup of Ubunto 8.04. Now that the introductions are over, here is a quick map of the machines that can successfully connect with. My major problem is that I cannot get SSH (And ONLY SSH) to work between the XP machine and the main machine.
Work -> Main = Works
Work -> VM = Works
XP -> VM = Works
XP -> Main = Fails
XP -> VM -> Main = Works
Main -> Main = Works (IE: "ssh localhost")
VM -> Main = Works
When I try to get the XP machine to connect to the Main machine, I get an error with Putty saying:
"Server sent disconnect message
type 2(protocol error):
baad service request ssh-connection"
I've changed Putty to try using SSH Protocol 1 only, but it says the protocol isn't installed on the Main machine, which is true. I've tried setting just 1, and it gives me the error, and I've tried setting it to "2 only" and it again comes up with the error. I went into /var/log as root on the Main machine, and did a "tail -n0 -f *" and then tried to connect, but nothing relevant shows up.
As for the proof that the firewall is disabled, three of the machines are working with Synergy, I am able to swap between all three of the machines without a problem, I can get to WebAdmin from the XP machine to the Main machine, and I can open a Samba share from the XP machine to the Main machine without a problem. This sounds like a protocol issue, but I can't see anything in WebAdmin that'll put me in the right direction.

I have an issue with the manner in which Network Manager is configuring the network and short of ditching Network Manager I can see no solution.The issue : Getting a machine to update its machine name in the DNS serverSounds simple doesn't it I operate a FreeBSD based firewall / DHCP / DNS server, using a default Network Manager DHCP configuration the Fedora clients do not register their names with the DNS server when they obtain an address.
I have traced the communications with Wireshark and the Fedora clients are NOT supplying the PC's hostname as part of the exchange so this is NOT a DNS server configuration issue. If I uncheck the option 'Automatically obtain DNS information from provider' under the DHCP settings the Fedora clients DO register the hostname that is put into the Hostname (optional) databox. They do NOT however store the DNS server IP address or any other records defined by the DNS server.
Is there some hidden settings or is this a bug because it isn't acceptable 'DHCP' behaviour if it isn't possible to automatically set DNS server IP addresses and at the same time register the hostname during the DHCP negotiation. Before it is said I know I can use a fixed DNS IP address but am not prepared to long term, I am also not prepared to define the Fedora clients with a 'static' IP. I am similarly not interested in playing around with scripts or any other such 'frigs' to achieve what should be a standard activity - registering a host with DNS during the DHCP negotiation.

I have some file tools on a mint machine that I would rather not install on my mac laptop. Mainly because of the vastness of apt-get and the low risk of installation failure. Anyway, every so often I have a file that I want to process in place using some remote tool. Both machines can ssh right in to each other so I was figuring there must be some script or tool out there that would allow me to type out something like remote [file] [tool & args] to send my file to the other machine, get it processed, then get it back.
