Ubuntu :: Instability In Karmic \ Lock Up Every Time It Had A Period Of Extended Inactivity?
Jan 21, 2010
I skipped over Jaunty on my main desktop because Intrepid had been working perfectly for so long. Finally took the plunge to Karmic, and have had major instability problems. I cannot trace them to any particular program I am using. At first it seemed related to power management, since it would lock up every time it had a period of extended inactivity. I have disabled ACPI in my BIOS (I think), and any power management settings I could find in gnome to try to troubleshoot. That seems to have helped, but it still happens semi-regularly, sometimes when I am in the middle of using it. I have tried checking logs and googled anything that seemed important. ie a message in kern.log reads: Clocksource tsc unstable

I would like to allow the auto-log off feature either an extended inactivity time or to disable inactivity-logouts.
I use my PC strictly at home, and have no security issues. I've set my username to no-password so that I just click [twice] to log back on. But I must do that to see the screen display - say to see what's playing on Pandora.
Can I set the auto-logout-time somewhere or disable the function?

My power went out for an extended period of time and now my graphics are messed up. I started my computer up and I only can get 640x480, so I was trying to reinstall the drivers but the nvidia drivers on the repositroy do not make sense as far as what goes with what, or descriptions of them. I downloaded the driver off nvidias website instaled it. It went to my desktop same problem.

Please help me to resolve th problem stated underneath:My computer(P4, 512MB RAM) running Ubuntu 10.04 hangs unexpectedly after certain period of inactivity (4-5 minutes maybe). I checked power management settings and all power saving options are set to off.The screen says Checking battery state comes for a while... and then black screen with stripes comes. Monitor also goes off for say a sec or two.Then monitor goes 'on' on its own .This process of Black screen with stripes, monitor off and on goes on until I "Reboot"

I'm running Fedora 12 on an Acer Aspire One with KDE. The built-in wireless works without a problem EVERYWHERE except at work. It's a shared wireless connection using WPA/WPA2 security.I can connect but it's "hit-and-miss" if I can do anything with it. Somedays it works well for a few minutes then has a period of inactivity - then slow - randomly receives...It worked flawlessly when the computer was running Windows7 no one else has connectivity issues but I'm the only one using Linux.

I'm using Lucid and after a few minutes of inactivity the system goes into the Lock Screen status also available under the shut down icon. now I don't like the screen to be blocked mainly cause when I get back I've to type again my password everytime. Under Karmic the screen used to go into a sleep status but it only needed a touch of the mouse in order to come back....

I installed ubuntu 10.0.4 TLS version and my desktop freezes after a period of inactive time: the screen doesn't change and the apps do not response. It will resume after any key-stroke or mouse action. Is it a feature of 'power-saving' or something else? I need my ubuntu keep 'alive' all the time.

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and find that if I leave the machine for more than a couple minutes, it will automatically log me out. Instructions at other sites have indicated that session controls are to be found in System>Properties. But there is no Session in the list under Properties in Ubuntu 10.04. How can I control this feature so that I'm not having to constantly login every time I turn around? I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution.

I made a fresh installation of Debian.
Code: Select all[VOSTRO200@root]#uname --all
Linux VOSTRO200 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I changed to the kde desktop environment. I logged in as a normal user, and left the computer running for a few hours. when I came back the screen was turned off and the system does not respond to mouse movement, pressing the keyboard, or any combination thereof. I tried
Code: Select allCtr+Alt+F1,
CapsLock
First time i touched keyboard the led of numlock turned off, and never back. Blanking the screen itself does not cause a system crash, this occurs after several hours of inactivity.

I just reinstalled, and can't get the setting set right so that my display does not shut off after a certain period of time. It is shutting off after a while of inactivity, and I do not want it to.

I currently have fedora 15 installed along side windows 7 on my acer aspire d250. So far it runs great, however I was wondering if there is a way to make fedora 15 hibernate after being in suspend for a period of time, just like windows 7 does. This make sense to me as there is no point in wasting battery life if i can hibernate, but I don't want to hibernate all the time, just suspend for a period of time, like 2 hours, in case I need my netbook again i have quick access to it.

Im looking for an app pr line of code that could let me observe a process, save the info in a number of variable and then put the gathered info on a file.
Ive been trying with variations of top but no luck. I am running several CentOS virtual servers, VM is 2gb ram 2 processor.
Maybe a script that works over a specified amount of time while writing lines with the info on a text file so at the end i can have a sort of table with the data.
The thing is Im going to stress test the server and I would like to have the data to make some statistics.

I'm not sure if this belongs in the Server or Networking section of the forums. Anyway, last month I upgraded my server to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Since then, I've had a recurring problem wherein after a certain period of time, the server stops accepting network connections. Ubuntu 10 will continue to reject network connections until someone logs into the server locally, after which time network connectivity is restored and the cycle begins anew. Essentially, the server goes into a "half sleep mode". I say half because the computer is still on and the fans are running.
I've done some searching around various forms and initially figured this issue was related to problems with the Network Manager service (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lu...er/+bug/524454), so I removed the service altogether. However, this problem is still occurring.
I've poured over /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog, but have noticed no irregular behavior. Has anyone else experienced this issues? I'd rather not resort to downgrading back to Gusty Gibbon if I can help it.
I am happy to provide more information if its needed

I am running Karmic on my laptop, and I have three 1.5 TB external hard drives which I swap between frequently. My problem is that if I leave the drives in, and do not access them for a period of time, they become inaccessible, i.e. I will click on the icon on the desktop or in Places, and it will tell me there is no device mounted, even though I was using it fine just an hour before.
i have a feeling that it is because the USB drives spin down after a period, and Ubuntu detects them as being 'disconnected'. Would it help if I added individual entries for each in fstab?? Or do I need to adjust some settings elsewhere?
EDIT: If this information helps, the HD's are all Seagate Expansion drives, formatted to ext4.

I'm using centos 5, kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5I have occasional server network problems (the NIC driver will basically crash/restart causing no connectivity for a period of time) due to the marvell sky2 NIC driver being a problem, as discussed here: This essentially means the server is unreliable when under any kind of reasonable load, to put it mildly.Worse still, the driver problem has not been resolved in 2.6.18.x - but it seems to have been resolved in the latest Linux kernels.I really don't want to compile the kernel from source, etc, but it looks like I may have no choice.Is there a repo which has a pre-compiled 2.6.20+ or 2.6.30+ kernel which I can use,

I am running 10.04 (i686) inside kvm-qemu client. The host is a headless 10.04 (x64).The issue is that the screensaver does not activate after a certain period of idle time (1 min). I can successfully activate the screensaver by running gnome-screensaver-command -a. It appears, then, that idle time is not being registered correctly. There are some very sporadic logs in daemon.log:
Code:
./daemon.log.1:Dec 1 11:01:24 myserver gnome-session[2166]: WARNING: GSIdleMonitor: IDLETIME counter not found
./daemon.log.1:Dec 2 12:35:53 myserver gnome-session[19953]: WARNING: GSIdleMonitor:

Am being asked by karmic to login for a second time.
Tried installing startup manager and reinstalling gdm but no change.
Anyone else with this problem, or who had it and fixed it?
I set it to autologin for a few weeks, then reverted to standard login, and the problem has gone away

Is there a way to set Linux to automatically log in to a specific user account and at the same time lock the screen? I want to save time and trigger various software that always should start up on boot, while leaving the computer unattended during startup (extra important and practical for remote control boots), by enforcing a 'screen lock' so that no-one can see what happens behind the login screen without entering the login credentials.
