i'm having a problem shutingdown my ubuntu 9.10. When I shutdown, it hangs after "Deactivating swap". It doesn't say fail or ok, just hangs there. Keyboard is still working.
View 1 RepliesLast night I shut down my computer and left, since it goes automatically after I tell it to shut down. This morning, my computer was still on, with some shutdown messages like "Stopping MySQL server mysqld" and such.
The last line said "deactivating swap..." and didn't appear to be doing anything. code...
When I try to shutdown Ubuntu 9.10 it just stops at deactivating swap... Pressing Ctrl Alt Delete will restart the computer at that point
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 9.10 otherwise flawlessly on a 2007 core 2 duo Macbook. Right now its set up to triple boot with OS X Snowleopard, Windows 7 Ultimate, as the other operating systems. I'm asking because I'm frequently having to force my system to power down after shutting down from Ubuntu, and I'm concerned that I could be corrupting files and damaging my hardware.

I can get someone to start it up, and get as much as I can before it crashes.From looking at the messages, it seems like it could be something going on with the swap, but I'm not sure.The messages are below.(The box is on the other side of the country from me, so I don't have a ton of info, and it's hard for me to get someone to physically restart it for me...so it's kind of a pain.)(You'll see a lot of errors related to SSHD. I don't know if that's because SSHD is the culprit, or if it's because I was connected using SSH. For some reason I'm leaning towards it being something other than SSHD.)

So my Ubuntu 9.10 install has been hanging on boot lately. At first I thought it was a problem with the 2.6.31-20 kernel, because that is the default boot option in GRUB2. It seemed things worked fine if I instead chose the 2.6.31-19 kernel, but I had that hang yesterday too.I also had 2.6.31-20 boot just fine yesterday. Once. Next time I tried it - system hang.
What I mean by "hang" is,I would see the GRUB OS selection screen (I have 2 versions of Windows and 2 versions of Ubuntu on this machine),select the first choice (Ubuntu with the 2.6.31-20 kernel),see the "pulsating white Ubuntu logo" briefly,then a bunch of scrolling text, then...blank screen.Then nothing.I let it sit for a few minutes to a few hours when it did this, but nothing further happened.Then yesterday, I decided to let it sit the whole time I was at work, approximately 9 hours.I came home to a screen with the white Ubuntu logo and the following error message:
Code:
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
swap: waiting for UUID=3fba81a3-de14-4f56-9e7b-ace95d933a0e
/proc/bus/usb: waiting for none[code]....
So it looks like I have a disk partition that refuses to mount sometimes.Gparted for some reason wouldn't tell me the UUIDs of swap partitions.They also don't show up in /dev/disk/by-uuid. Using the bootinfo script, I found out that 3fba81a3-de14-4f56-9e7b-ace95d933a0e is the 4 GB swap partition associated with my Ubuntu 9.10 install.The disk that partition is on is rated "healthy" by Disk Utility, with only a few bad sectors. The HDD is about 7 years old, so it's in remarkably good shape.What could cause this swap partition to not mount during boot, and how do I fix it?
I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my PC with 1GB of RAM and 3GB of Swap partition. But the machine gets hung or reboots itself when the usage is even marginally higher. This is the output of "free -m" for Swap:
Swap: 2908 11 2897
I have tried increasing the swappiness to 80, and this not made any difference. I believe the RAM is taking up all the load and none of the pages are going in to the swap. Hence the slow response and the frequent hung system. I know this is an old PC but Windows XP (installed on another HDD) runs way better on the same configuration.
if I dont use the oracle script written below, then system start fine, but if I use the following script, then system hangs up at startup at message 'Enabling swap space'. I am using Redhat ES 4, with Oracle 10g R2.
vi /etc/init.d/oracle
#!/bin/bash
#
# Run-level Startup script for the Oracle Instance and Listener

I installed selinux and it caused ubuntu to stall/hang on shutdown, so I got rid of it, and it is still hanging. The splash stops at the third/fourth progress dot and just sits there.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu hangs on splash screen when shutting down and restarting after creating startup scrip.
I created the upstart script using the following method:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/local.autostart "Edit local.autostart"
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/local.autostart And sudo update-rc.d local.autostart defaults 80. After this ubuntu hangs on the splash screen during shut down. If I remove the script by doing: sudo update-rc.d -f local.autostart remove
Then ubuntu can restart once again.
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 ?)"
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm shutting it down it hangs on the splash screen. The screen then fills with white in a weird way; it's hard to describe but it's like watching film become exposed to air. It almost looks like there's something wrong with the screen but there isn't. I have no idea why it could be doing this.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A305D.
Shutting down sometimes hangs during the purple ubuntu shutdown screen. This especially happens when shutting down via ssh.
For example, sometimes I need to leave and wait for some operations to finish. Later, I ssh into the machine to sudo shutdown now. It tells me it's going down and disconnects me and all, but when I get home the shutdown screen is still on with a few white and red dots (those that are animated during shutdown).
When this happens, I do a slow Alt + SysRQ + R, E, I, S and U before I manually power down in order to keep my file systems happy.
Also, shutting down sometimes leaves me with a black unresponsive desktop. I can login through ssh and do a /etc/init.d/gdm restart and my desktop (or login screen) comes back.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64. I was running X86 before and I had the same issues with the shutdown hang. After a clean install of x64 it took a few weeks before I got the same symptoms again. The black desktop thing is new with x64.
what to do the next time this happens in order to find out why it's happening?
I'm not 100% certain, but I'm fairly sure that fglrx is preventing clean shut downsHardware is an ASUS E-35M1-I Deluxe, so fairly new, and I'm running Ubuntu natty.I couldn't find anything damning in the logs under /var/log, so I'm not sure where I can look to find the specific errors. All I know is that when I'm running with fglrx shutdown takes forever, as if it's waiting for the X server, and it just never shuts down cleanly, but when I run with the standard radeon driver everything shuts down quickly and cleanly.Sometimes when I tried to execute a "service slim stop" or "service gdm stop", the whole system would hang, and needed a hard reset.

recently a weird error occured on my Ubuntu Karmic. When I shutdown (or reboot) the os, the flashing logo shows and then the whole process hangs with last few lines of shutdown log displayed. The last line then says this error:
Code:
init: rc main process (pid) killed by TERM signal where pid is actual pid of that process.
Then I have to shutdown the computer manually with hardware button. It's no big deal, it's just not that comfortable and I'd really like to know why this is happening.
Completely new Gateway dx4850-45, installed 11.04 64 bit.
Symptoms:
- Both restart and shutdown hangs, have to hold the power button to kill it.
- Once the screen saver kicks in it hangs,
- Try to reinstall using 11.04 and 9.10 and they both hang. On the screen there is briefly some ascii text talking about "... found 2 index files ..."
the (almost) last message I see is"shutting down (remotefs) network nterfaceIf I then press Ctrl-Alt-Del the system goes on until:shutting down (localfs)network interface: eth0... and that's it - further go on possible,by any means.No complete shutdown possible.Until present I did at least get nojournal replay at the next startup

I'm using Debian Sid xfce on my lenovo laptop. When i try to shutdown, the screen always stays on (the fans turn off). It says "reached target shutdown", then this happens: [URL] .... and then it hangs. I have to press the power button to shut it down. (I have the same problem with reboot).

I found out that i can normally reboot with the Alt + sysrq + REISUB key combination.
I have just made a clean installation of FC12. The only change I have made for now is to disable the NetworkManager and set a static ip address. My problem is that when I click "shutdown" it doesn't complete the shutdown and hangs due to some kind of kernel error. Then I have to use the power-switch to shut it down. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often (every 3rd shutdown or so).
I get this error-messages on the screen:

12.2 is up to date and am running the Firefox from Slackbuilds. There was an update to FF a few months ago. Since then FF "hangs" when I close it out. It does seem to shut down better from the home page instead of whatever site I happen to be on at the time of shutting down. I do have a few addons to FF but they were there before the update with no issues. The addons are Gmarks [disabled], Rankchecker, Scribefire, SEO for FF [disabled], SEO Toolbar, Weatherbug and Web Developer. I haven't done any "fixes" so I'm fairly certain I didn't create my own problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a SMB share being mounted during boot using a /etc/fstab entry.All that seems to work fine, but on shutdown or reboot I found that the system hangs for a variable period trying to unmount the share. It appears from the log that the unmount is happening after the network connections are closed.Is there someway around this, or is there some other way I should be mounting the share so that it is closes successfully at restart or shutdown?

Setup: Debian 8 minimal server configuration (SSH only) using net install as virtual machine on Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V (Gen 2).
1024 MB RAM, 20 GB VHDX, and 1 Processor, EFI boot
Packages installed: openssh-server, sudo, unattended-upgrades, bsd-mailx postfix
Application: IPv6 gateway using 6in4 tunnel
Symptoms: When shutting down the operating system (poweroff or reboot), the message
A start job is running for Unattended-Upgrades ( xx seconds / no limit ).is displayed on the console and will persist for several minutes before eventually timing out and shutting down.I've tried several different configurations. Any configuration that creates /tmp automatically (whole disk with single partition, or disk with separate /home, /var, and /tmp partitions) works fine and shuts down promptly. When I partition the disk manually (512 MB EFI Boot, 17 GB /, 3 GB /var, 512 MB /tmp, and 512+ swap) the problem occurs. I've narrowed it down to just the /tmp partition by testing and comparing various configurations (including/excluding partitions, placing partitions on a separate disk, changing the partition sizes, matching against automatic configurations, etc.).
I have also compared the /etc/fstab and /etc/default/tmpfs configuration file between working and non-working systems and cannot see any meaningful difference.
I recently installed Karmic Koala (desktop edition) on an old PC. Most of the time, the PC is expected to be running in locked screen (i.e. blank screensaver),unless I need to fiddle with something.However, I keep hitting the mouse accidentally.Therefore, I would like to prevent the mouse from deactivating the locked screen and presenting the unlocking dialog. I.e. only direct keyboard press should invoke this action
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a HP Pavillion DV7 laptop running Ubuntu 10.04, and I am having some problems with Ubuntu handling a network connection. Every so often, I leave my computer in locked mode overnight to download something. But, when I do this, the network just deactivates early on [there is a symbol of a blank wireless symbol with a red "?" by it]. Both the wireless and wired network connections are deactivated, and I am using a wired connection. This also sometimes happens in suspend mode, too, but less often. I have to restart my computer before it will connect again, as logging out and back in again does not suffice.
