My RHEL Machine is a Build server and always gets shutdown / rebooted at around 5:30 every evening. No idea whats going on as developers were unable to connect to the machine since three days. When I am visiting the physical server probably next morning (since last 3 days)its doesn't show anything and all i reboot the machine and it comes up without any issue. how to troubleshoot?

when my pc boots and shuts down my monitor goes into 'input out of range' mode for a bit between the gui and the text only phases of boot/shutdown.is there a way to fix this? or where to start troubleshooting?also, when it shuts down it hangs after coming back to the text only part
I've been googling my brains out looking for a solution to this. So far, nothing.
As the title suggests, every time I attempt to shut the computer down it instantly reboots the moment the internal fans stop whirring.
So far I've tried:
-shutting down via the terminal (this actually makes the reboot happen instantly rather than waiting for the fans to stop)
-looking in the BIOS for any obvious settings which may be causing this
-performing a dpkg repair
-Allowing "Proposed" updates in the Updater
-installing (slightly) older Kernel (2.6.35-22 as opposed to 2.6.35-23)
-installing newer (2.6.36) kernel
I know others are having this issue, but other threads I've read seem to have fizzled out with no conclusion. Has anyone managed to find a way to make this work if they've had the bug?
Any advice at all? Is it worth trying an even older kernel? Or an even older version of Linux?
I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?
I am trying to setup a ventrilo server. I want it to load the server automatically on system boot so it is running at all times. I have downloaded the server files and can manually start it, but I do not know where/how to make it start automatically.
I'm wondering how I start it automatically when I boot up the ubuntu 10.04? especially, when I created the user "postgres", I set a password to it. every time I issued "su - postgres" command, I need to give it a password.
I have configured heartbeat+DRBD on a SLES10 SP3 cluster and that's working fine except when both nodes are down and I turn on only one node. When this happens, the heartbeat don't starts automatically (the service status says it's unused, so the services, IP address and partition don't start automatically too). I can turn on the heartbeat manually (service heartbeat start) and get the services, ip address and partition initialized too, but I'd like to make it starts automatically because it's possible to have one node broken and the person that will turn on the other node can forget to manually starts the service.
-When the heartbeat is unused on the first node and I turn on the second node, the heartbeat on the first node starts automatically and everything is fine. -The command "chkconfig heartbeat on" was executed.
I am having trouble getting grub to automatically boot into ubuntu server. When I turn on my server the grub menu shows up and shows me the choices. They all work fine except that grub wont automatically select one. This wouldn't be too much of a problem but this is a headless server and I can't boot into ubuntu without a keyboard. I tried looking through the grub 2 documentation but nothing seemed to work when I edited the conf file.
i have a RAMdisk set up on my desktop with a hidden folder of stuff in it; but i want to know is it possible for me to set ubuntu to copy the files to another directory on shutdown, and copy back again on startup?
I'm looking for a program or script that will automatically shut down my computer at specified times. The thing is, if I happen to be using the computer at those times, I want it to ask me if I want to shut down before it does it.
Something like I want the computer to shut down at 9 am every day. When it's 9am, a prompt pops up and says, "Do you want to shut down or continue running? If you do not answer, the computer will automatically shut down in 10 seconds." Not sure if something like this is out there or not.
It seems to me that the /tmp folder is currently crowded with old stuff. How can I tell CentOS to always automatically delete all /tmp folder content just before shutdown?
I would like to develop a shell script that would automatically run a backup program and then shutdown the computers, but I do not know the first thing about script development or even writing scripting.
I have installed Oracle 11g on 5.3. Now, I am trying to START and STOP oracle automatically on system startup and shutdown. I am following this link To have this effect, I have created /etc/init.d/dbora
I am new to Linux and wow, it did not take me long to run into a huge snag. I am running Suse Linux Enterprise 10 on a laptop and by some strange reason the computer froze from overheating and I was forced to shutdown improperly. Once I restarted it booted right to the command prompt when it usually instead boots to the default user. I managed to get gnome running using the "startx gnome" command. But when gnome loads, none of my normal extentions load like my wireless driver, the sound driver, etc. how to restore gnome to automatically load the default user on start up or fix any other damage I might have done? lol
I just recently installed ubuntu 10.04 and it works great! I got it to work with both of my printers, scanner, and zune! The problem is occasionally when I boot up ubuntu it stops and displays "[drm:rs400_gart_adjust_size] *ERROR* Forcing to 32M GART size (because of ASIC bug ?)"
Strange problems and I don't know if they are related. This is Ubuntu 10.4 32 bit on a Toshiba Qosmio x505-q875 laptop dual boot with Winblows 7. One drive bay is a 64GB SSD with windows, my root, usr, and swap partitions on it. The other is a 1TB drive with the home partition.
First Problem: After the Grub menu disappears (defaulting to Ubuntu) about 25% of the time nothing happens. No harddrive light blinking, no cursor, nothing. Everything just stops. I have to use the power button to reset it. Happens several times in a row occasionally. I've never had this happen with Windows.
Second Problem: Sometimes Ubuntu doesn't see the sound card at all. The speaker icon is grehyed out and when I go into sound preferences, it doesn't list any sound device at all. Rebooting fixes it. This happens maybe half the time.
Last Problem: This one happens when the sound doesn't work. When i go to shut down the system, the hibernate and suspend options are not in the shutdown menu, and when I do shut down, it only logs me off. Even at the log on screen, if I tell the system to shut down again, nothing happens. I can log back on it that means anything, but shutting down again has the same effect.
My system sometimes crashes on startup/shutdown. No idea what causes it This is my info:Kernel: Linux Mewtwo 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/LinuxUbuntu version: Ubuntu 11.04 (Note: This also happened BEFORE upgrading to 11.04)All the info i could get is in those pics (This happened on boot but I also have crashes on shutdown):[URL]I couldn't find those logs anywhere else in /var/log so I guess it happens before the log files are opened
I cant get a bootsplash image at all during boot/shutdown. Anyways I tried some solutions and kinda realized I dont have /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash. Could that possibly be it? And if so, how do I fix this. 10.04 Nvidia graphics Is there another solution to plymouth? I tried splashy and usplash wont install. So anyone else know a way.
We may edit some values for GRUB from /etc/default/grub to modify the way that computers boot up and shutdown.My question is how to make such modifications for boot and shutdown. For example, suppose I want to display two splashes one during booting and the other during shutdown or I would like to acpi=off during booting and then acpi=force during shutdown.
For the past few days, my Ubuntu server (it is a desktop that functions as a server, Desktop installed) have been very slow. Today, it stopped responding to ping, I could not SSH into it (once, I managed to come so far that it asked for my password, but I got timed out) and I could not connect via VNC.
I switched it off, to boot it up again. Post completed, and the screen went black, before the white text "Read Error" appeared on the screen. I shut it down again, waited a minute or so, before switching it back on. This time, the "read error" did not show up. The "text only" startup for Ubuntu showed up, so I hoped it was all okay. It turned out it wasnt. I have some pictures: http://yfrog.com/4pimag0127xj http://yfrog.com/jnimag0128bj The top lines are code...
Any ideas on what could be the issue here, and how to fix it?
I have a small but annoying problem... I have two scripts that I want to run automatically one at boot and one at shutdown. For the one at boot I tried to put it in rc.local or to create a file in /etc/init.d/ based on the others files in the folder but nothing worked... I need it to run system-wide and not once a specific user is logged in.
For the script at shutdown I don't know how to do it but it can be user specific or system-wide I don't really care. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64bits with kernel 2.6.35-24-generic
PS. I should add that when executed manually both scripts works perfectly well and I don't need those script to run continuously in the background, just run and quit.
I was stupidly compiling code on my netbook with 10% battery left. The CPU ate up my battery reeaally quickly and it did a hard shutdown while still compiling.When I boot up, the Ubuntu loading screen shows up for about two seconds and then it goes to a completely black unresponsive screen. I have a live install on my thumb drive, but I don't actually know what I need to do to fix whatever broke.Edit:Oo, something happened. When I pressed a key the screen filled up with a bunch of stuff I don't understand. But the last two messages are: [ 450.807328] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth
I had to shutdown the computer while upgrading from Lucid to Maverick as it froze(bug in X11) and then when I start the computer I get kernel panic messages. I used a LiveCD to backup my files and I was wondering if there is a way to log in or reupgrade the Ubuntu in some way from the liveCD.
I don't want to do a fresh install as there are a dozen things I had installed and configured in my system the last 1-2 years.
