ubuntu has wake up issues in my computer. However I can login from tty1 as root. Is there a way to restart compiz from tty ? When I try "compiz --replace" from tty1, it gives "Can't open display". I know that I need to allow by "xhost +local:", but I cant since compiz is unusable.
View 4 RepliesI've recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop. I installed a bunch of compiz software from the software center. I used ..... to figure everything out. However, somethings didn't work; such as the cube wouldn't change to the sphere, and the windows animations wouldn't work. When I restarted my computer, the cube changed to what I had set. The windows animations, however, didn't. How can I get all of these effects to work, and to take effect without restarting the computer?

My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "

I have a suspend problem in my laptop. Sometimes, when resuming from suspend, the network adapter is down (that is, the network does not work and the light of the network adapter is off). Restarting the network service doesn't work, because I think that the system forgot about the hardware, and probably the driver should be reloaded.Does anyone knows how to do that?(ps. /etc/init.d/networking restart does not work, because the hardware driver is not being recognized anymore).

Whenever I choose "Restart" from the GDM screen, GDM appears to shutdown, and the first TTY is displayed with a login prompt at the bottom (assuming I haven't used that TTY). I am by no estimation a patient individual, but I waited a solid minute or two for something to happen, but nothing ever did. I end up logging in as root on that TTY and running "shutdown -r now" to get the job done. This is a shared computer, and ideally any user should be able to perform shutdown options graphically from GDM.The only mentioned workaround doesn't apply to me as I am using the nvidia driver, not intel.

whats the difference between restarting/stopping apache using 'service httpd restart/stop' and apachectl restart/stop. I know that using 'service httpd restart' is actually a script in /etc/init.d/httpd but what about apachectl?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how I can restart gnome from the command line without having to log in again(as in selecting a user and typing in the password)? I've tried using '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' and that tells me to use 'service gdm restart' but that forces me to log back in again.I wouldn't mind having to start gnome using startx, then logout of x and startx again but I need to automate the process. I can't figure it out because anything I launch withing gnome gets killed when gnome goes down so that the startx part doesn't get executed

View 1 Replies View RelatedSometimes, when I restart, Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't. My monitor just goes to sleep and I end up having to turn off the computer manually and turn it back on.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a recently new, less than 2 weeks old, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installl. It is a clean install since the prior install of 10.04 LTS decided it would no longer allow me to login.
My problem is that I cannot shutdown or restart my machine. And I have no idea why it happened.
I'm having problems trying to restart gdm from crontab and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Basically what I want to do is a 'logout' every morning before I get to work so that by the time I get to my computer I would just have to log back in and have a fresh gnome session.
The command I'm using to restart gdm is:
Code:
/usr/sbin/service gdm restart
If I run this command from a terminal as root it works.
To edit my crontab file I'm doing:
Code:
sudo crontab -u root -e
And adding the following line to it:
Code:
25 08 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/service gdm restart
My understanding is that this should restart gdm every day of the work week (Mon-Fri) at 08:25. But for some reason this is not happening.
I also checked that my cron deamon is running by:
Code:
~$ service gdm status
gdm start/running, process 27156
I don't remember when it started, my ubuntu hang when trying to shut down.I tried every possible way to shut down, by command, poweroff, reboot, halt and In verbose mode the last message is: Code: init: rc main process ((process id e.g. "26350")) killed by TERM single and only way I have, to turn off is "Alt + Ctrl + delete"... and when I press them this message appear for a while then restart.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is a new installation of Ubuntu, everything was working great after installing the programs and configuring settings until a system restart brought these errors down:It cannot connect to the internet, I've tried everything even restarting the network with the terminalThe windows do not have borders, I know this is a common problem but I've read through many different posts and nothing helps, this all happened at the exact same time and was working perfectly beforeWhen you logoff, shutdown, or end your session in any way it says there is an unknown program that won't quit, you have to end it because it will never end on it's own.I've restarted many times in the past but all this suddenly happens randomly, I have Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit and CompizFusion if that makes a difference.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just installed 11.04 on my Acer Z5610 and it won't shutdown or even restart noramally. I have to force shutdown every time. I installed the ati graphics drivers but still no change. What could be wrong?I have reinstalled 4 times, using usb and cd.
View 9 Replies View Relatedsince I've installed 11.04 I have been encountering a very work-disturbing fact.
When I start my laptop, from power off to on- everything goes fine, the login screen shows up, all works. If I turn it off, then start it up again- all is ok.
If from a turned on 11.04 I ask it to restart (reboot), the system goes power down, laptop powers up again, and as soon as the splash should be appearing- the herddrive led stops lighing up (which usually means that the system is loading) and two leds go up and start blinking endlessly (the Caps Lock icon and a led that looks like 2 arrows- one facing up and second facing down in a rectangle)- the only way out seems to be hard power off, and startup again- then all again works fine.
This situation never appeared on anly of my previous Ubuntu setups.
P.S. To clear out things I tried to do:
-install a pre-proposed kernel (didn't give positive results, switched back to 2.6.38-
-install x-org edgers PPA files (also nothing)
-tried the proprietary graphic driver (didn't help either)
I have assembled an Intel D915PDT Administration Intel Desktop motherboard with an Intel 651 Processor which has 3.40 GHz 800 MHz FSB 2MB L2 Cache and 1GB DDR1 400 MHz RAM also GeForce 8400GS 512 Graphics Cards. But this PC have a problem, if once I shut it down I cant restart it again, but the next day it works properly. I tried in various operating systems like Windows XP service pack 2, pack 1, Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate 32bit and I have checked several times the BIOS settings properly but the problem is still the same.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Linux so I have no idea what I'm really doing. Anyways after the latest update about an hour or so ago, my computer insisted I restart. When I did, it just loads to a desktop (Wallpaper picture), a mouse pointer and nothing else. The little circle (Windows Hourglass Equal) keeps loading repeatedly on and off and I presume processing something in a loop. But it never loads to anything past that.
