Ubuntu :: Everytime Reboot The Sound Is Muted

Nov 27, 2010

I've been having some issues with my sound for a few weeks. Every time I reboot, my sound is muted. I have to open up alsamixer every time and unmute it manually. It is not the "master volume" that is muted but instead the "speaker" volume is the one that is muted. This started when i started up my computer and the ubuntu log-in sound started playing extremely loud. I quickly tried to turn down the volume while it was still booting and ever since then, i have been having this issue. Also, the volume control on my laptop no longer works, even after i adjust the volume with alsamixer. It still shows on the screen that the volume is being adjusted, but it does nothing. I hoped i explained this well enough for someone to be able to help me with this issue. Also, sorry if this issue has been posted before.

Ubuntu :: 11.0.4 System Crash And Shutdown Everytime Use Software Center

Aug 1, 2011

I just installed Ubuntu 11.0.4 on an Asus 1005AH Eepc for a friend. The only changes I made after default install were to add French as primary language. Whenever I attempt to install a downloaded .deb or a package found through the Software Center, after asking for the password and a little delay the OS crashes and the system shuts down. There is no visual indication of what might be going wrong.

General :: [FYI] "last -f <old Wtmp> -x Reboot Shutdown" Incorrect For Last Reboot And Shutdown?

Mar 25, 2010

Further to this LQ thread which Tinkster solved by suggesting the last command (thanks Tinkster) I have been exploring last -x reboot and have found that the reported duration is incorrect for the last reboot and shutdown when a old wtmp file is used. Not having a record for the following shutdown, last assumes that the system has been up until the current time and similarly for the shutdown.

The output comes in time order, latest first, each line showing the time of the reboot and the uptime from then to shutdown. Using last -x reboot shutdown to show the shutdown time, here's an illustration

Code:

shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Sun Mar 7 15:35 - 03:02 (11:27)
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Sun Mar 7 09:35 (05:59)
09:35 until 15:35 is 05:59.

When the uptime exceeds 24 hours it is shown as (<days>+<hours:minutes) like this
Code:
shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Sun Feb 21 12:39 - 13:20 (00:40)
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Sat Feb 20 09:39 (1+02:59)
09:39 until 12:39 the next day is 1 day 02:59.

The time in parentheses at the end of the shutdown lines is normally the time until the next shutdown.

So far so good. The incorrect output is for the last reboot and shutdown of an old wtmp file. Here's the output of last /var/log/wtmp -x reboot shutdown; last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 -x reboot shutdown

Code:

[snip]
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Fri Mar 12 07:42 (01:54)
shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Fri Mar 12 01:31 - 09:37 (08:05)
wtmp begins Thu Mar 11 08:25:26 2010
[snip]
reboot system boot 2.6.29.6-smp Wed Mar 10 14:12 (15+01:42)
shutdown system down 2.6.29.6-smp Wed Mar 10 12:41 - 15:54 (15+03:13)
[snip]

The boot started at "Wed Mar 10 14:12" which had an actual uptime of 1 day 11:20 is reported as 15 days 03:13 which is the time from then until the last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 -x reboot shutdown command was issued. The time from shutdown to shutdown is similarly affected.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installation Finished - Click OK To Reboot It Never Does - Forcing A Shutdown

Sep 20, 2010

I'm having is trying to install ubuntu 10.04, when i get to the end and it asks you to click OK to reboot it never does, it sits there and never reboots (left for an hour!), forcing a shutdown and starting up then results in no GRUB coming up to dual boot (windows 7, installed on a seperate HDD)

This previously worked fine but I got rid of ubuntu to try a different flavour (which didn't install successfully, couldn't find the disk drive I wanted to install it on but I had already wiped ubuntu off for a fresh install)

I have formatted the partition i made (30gb partition) and manually created space for root and a partition from that for a swap file but this made no difference. I have used a partition manager and completely got rid of the partition (resizing the drive back up to full amount) and let the ubuntu installer do the partition itself but again the same problem.

I'm not sure what it is doing at this stage when going to reboot, i'm guessing installing GRUB and terminating the processes for the reboot, which never completes. I have also tried installing GRUB on the partition which said "Windows 7 loader" but that made no difference. I will try fixboot and fixmbr commands in windows recovery console in case it can't overwrite the boot sector for any particular reason tonight.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: IVTV And (pvr-350) - Permissions Get Reset Everytime When Reboot

Oct 22, 2010

I have hauppauge pvr-350 which has an mpeg2 decoder with an RGB and s-video out to let me send video to my tv. I'm using the ivtv drivers which work well. To test the card I ran

Code:
cat test.mpeg > /dev/video16
-bash: /dev/video16: Permission denied
So then I did
Code:
ls -l /dev/video16
crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 5 2010-10-22 12:21 /dev/video16
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/video16
[sudo] password for patrick:
cat test.mpeg > /dev/video16

However the permissions get reset everytime I reboot. Is there any way to pass an argument to the ivtv driver to change the default permissions?

Fedora Installation :: Adding A Reboot And A Shutdown?

Jun 1, 2011

I don't follow why the Suspend option is there and the Reboot and Shutdown is not. Can anyone guide me to the code needed to add the selections. I know I can use a Terminal to shutdown or reboot but a simpler solution would be nice. I expect there are methods to fix most of what I don't like about Gnome 3 but I haven't found them yet. Is there a central place for the solutions needed to deminimalize Gnome 3? I really prefer one click control.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Reboot / Shutdown

Mar 9, 2010

I have recently upgraded to the 10.04 Alpha and have been unable to reboot or shutdown. I know it's just an alpha and therefore problems are bound to exist, so I tried reinstalling from a live cd of Alpha 3. But I am still unable to reboot or shutdown.To clarify what happens, I click on shutdown or reboot, the pop-up appears, I click on the shutdown/reboot button and it seems to complete it. It says that processes have been killed and something has exited with 255. But my computer is still on. I am guessing that Ubuntu is shutting down, it's just not actually shutting my computer down or restarting it.

Ubuntu :: Cannot SIGKILL - Can't Reboot - Shutdown?

Jul 15, 2010

I have a remote server (Xubuntu 10.04) which suffered an electricity brownout yesterday. The server itself is backed with an ups, but it is connected to a external firewire disk, which is not, and this disk malfunctioned as a result of the brownout.

The problem: Now, any process trying to access the external disk freezes and ends up in eternal D state in the process list, including ls and umount. Even trying to ls a directory which contains a symbolic link to a file in that drive just causes ls to freeze. These processes cannot be killed even with SIGKILL, so I proceeded to reboot but...

None of the reboot commands work. Instead they just get added to the ever increasing list of D state processes. I tried (sudo) shutdown -r now, reboot -f now and finally plain shutdown -h now. Is there anything else to try other than ask somebody to actually go to the server and pull the plug (which is not at all trivial)? Some way to tell kernel not to worry about messing stuff up, and just reboot?

Ubuntu :: Failed Shutdown/reboot In 10.10?

Ubuntu :: Shutdown Or Reboot Only Logs Out?

Jun 26, 2011

From a 11.04 Ubuntu, I installed the meta-package xfce4 (*). Now, in the xfce4 session, "suspend" and "logout" (from the xfce4-panel button) works, but "shutdowmn" and "reboot" not, they only lead to GDM. (the shutdowm option there works.)

I tried to solve that by installing the meta-package "xubuntu-desktop" (maybe there are some necessary settings included?), and in fact, the login-screen changed (it's still GDM, I suppose) and there is now a "xubuntu" session, but in that, the probem is just the same: shutdown only leads to the login screen.

In Gnome Classic or Unity, shutdowmn works as it shoulds, so it's not a general problem with my computer.

In Detail, in forst tried to install xfce4 with ubuntu-software-center, but although it seemed to succeed, there was no xfce session. In Synaptic, installing the xfce3 metapackage worked. In fact, software-center seemed to have overlooked some dependencies...

Ubuntu :: Random Reboot Shutdown In Karmic 9.10?

Jan 19, 2010

I recently migrated from Hardy 8.04 LTS (32) to Karmic 9.10 (32) so that the restricted ATI drivers and CCC would work correctly - that part is basically fine.

The problem for the past couple of weeks has been Karmic randomly shutting down, and rebooting the system after 1 or 2 hours up-time.

Why would this be happening, it was fine for the first few weeks after installing Karmic.

My system currently consists of the following;
Gigabyte MA790FX-DS5 mainboard - Jan '08
AMD 3.0Ghz Phenom II X4 945 CPU - Oct '09
4GB DDR2 Kingston HyperX RAM (1066 MHz) - Jul '09
Sapphire ATI HD5770 1GB GDDR5 video - Dec '09
Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 640 watt power supply - Nov '09
Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05 case - Jan '08
1 pata 500 GB, 3 sata 500 GB & 1 sata 640 GB drives
2 DVD burners (Pioneer and LG)
2 x 19" (4:3) Samsung SyncMaster 943N LCD monitors


I used to have lmsensors working with the Athlon 2.8GHz dual core in Hardy, but they wouldn't work with the new Phenom 3.0 GHz 945 CPU in Hardy (and they still won't work in Karmic).

Th upshot is that I don't have cpu, system, or graphics temps; nor do I have any fan speeds, so I don't know what temps or fan speeds my system is running without rebooting into BIOS (which isn't much good as I really need to know what's happening when I'm using the OS itself).

Does anyone know what could be causing this random shut-down/reboot problem?

Ubuntu :: Prevent Nomal User To Reboot/shutdown?

i searched the forum about this subject, i found many post but nothing useful. i also wonder why a normal user is not prompted to authenticate as root to perform these tasks. i thought the file /etc/sudoers but i don't think this is the point. i tried the group "shutdown" but does not exist. i read that this is expected in ubuntu server so it should exist even in the desktop version, i guess.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Not Shutting Down Mysql Properly During Reboot/shutdown?

Dec 9, 2010

I have an mysql innodb ~ 20gigs. Normally shutting down mysql (service mysql stop) takes a few seconds. When I reboot Ubuntu with the reboot or shutdown command it just reboots it super fast without mysql logging (/usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete) Also during this shutdown the following is failed: umount2: device or resource busy /data: device is busy.

mysql is setup to read from /data . Why is ubuntu not waiting for mysql to properly shutdown before unmounting the filesystem and rebooting?

Fedora :: F13 Extra Long Reboot And Shutdown?

May 30, 2010

I hoping someone can point me in a direction. I installed F13 KDE from the live cd and now when I Shutdown or Reboot, it takes 2 minutes and 8 seconds for the machine to power off. Yes, I timed it.Happens everytime like that. Even when booting from both "mainstream" live cd and the KDE spin live cd. When I hit the Shutdown or Reboot, it goes through the daemons/services shutdown the flashes up the Halting System or Please wait while the system reboots messages (respectivley), turns off the LCD and then just... sits with the power light on and hard drive activity light on. I should mention this is on a Toshiba Laptop about 2 years old now. Intel Chipsets. (Satellite Pro S300M-S2142 if anyone is really curious). The hard drive light stays on for about 1:03 minutes and then it turns off, at 2:08 minutes - the Power light finally turns off and the thing finally shuts down or reboots. If this sounds familiar, it's because it is and I've posted about it with F12 and it's still there with F13. Running kernel-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64

Fedora Servers :: Can't Reboot Or Shutdown Server

After an hard reboot, some files are not here anymore or the log files are not filled anymore until I restart.My disk are behind the RAID controller i6 and are configure in RAID 1. The disks are two HP SCSI 72,8GB 10k RPM.Maybe I am totally wrong to check the disk access side, so I am open to other explanation.I can also add that my CPU is running under 1% et my RAM under 10%.

OpenSUSE :: KDE4.6 Minor - Reboot And Shutdown Do Nothing

Feb 4, 2011

A couple of little niggles seen with KDE4.6. On 32bit install, (openSUSE11.3 was clean install)

-- reboot and shut down do nothing but hibernate and sleep are ok, can only powerdown with su privileges,
-- order of applications in plasma bar change after reboot.

On 64bit install, (openSUSE11.3 was update of openSUSE11.2)

-- slow poweroff overcome with new user profile, (no longer a problem with latest update)
-- inconsistent mouse curser theme, over desktop theme is Oxygen White, over application windows its DMZ
(resolved mouse cursor theme issue on 64bit install.
-- /etc/sysconfig, parameter X_MOUSE_CURSOR="DMZ"
-- and
-- /usr/share/icons/default was a link to DMZ
-- /usr/share/icons/default.kde4 was a link to oxygen
-- changed so that both were linked to DMZ
-- mouse cursor now consistent within windows and across desktop.
