View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I log out or shut down Ubuntu with Transmission still open, the next time I start Transmission it will verify the local data, which take a very long time because I have lots of torrents. Does anyone knows how I can prevent this without having to explicitly close Transmission every time?
If I explicitly close Transmission before shutting down Ubuntu, it works fine.
I'm using Ubuntu and 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and Transmission 1.75
So I've got a backup server that has a daily cronjob to back up all my systems. My desktop PC is usually in sleep mode to save power. So my backup server has to wake up the desktop via wake-on-LAN to start the backup job. When the backup script is done, my backup server sends a shutdown command to the desktop to put it back in sleep mode.
The trouble is that SSH is timing out during the shutdown process and waits a ridiculous amount of time before giving up and allowing my backup server to move on to the next backup script. Here's the portion of my backup script for the desktop that does the shutdown stuff:
Code:
ssh user@host.lan '/usr/bin/shutdown -p +1'
Here's what cron sends me via e-mail:
Code:
Read from remote host host.lan: Connection timed out
real 164m46.280s
user 5m16.160s
sys 1m39.760s
Normally the entire backup job will only take about 5 minutes. But because of SSH timing out, it takes 164 minutes!
As a matter of detail, my backup server is running Ubuntu 9.10, and the desktop is Windows 7 x64 with Cygwin. The -p option for the shutdown command in Cygwin is for sleep mode.
Whenever I close Banshee by clicking the 'x' in the upper left-hand corner; the player moves to the next track and keeps on playing, just without a GUI. I had this problem in Rhythmbox as well. I'm also having the same problem with Software Center.It certainly looks like the UI/Window Manager is not always sending the application 'kill' signal to the running process. I'm currently using Gnome 2.x / Ubuntu Classic. I haven't tried this in Unity yet; but I suspect I will have the same problems there as well.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have no idea why I can not shut down my system properly. Every time I try to shut down, it just hangs and the only thing what I can see is my wallpaper. Then I am forced to do hard shut down, holding shut down button for a few seconds. Can someone help me with this? I have to mention that month ago everything was fine. No major system changes where done till that. My F11 is all up to date. Laptop: Acer Aspire One 751H.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just wounder why a ntfs partition need that my window xp shut down properly before i can mount it on my new Debian install.What happen it that when scanning window xp for virus i got a blue screen and window just crash repeatedly , so i tough i could just mount that partition with ntfs-3g, find the virus witch i identify to be in c:/window and delete it, but my ntfs partition would not mount and the boot message said something like (ntfs partition is still in use). Long story short, i finally managed to get a full window xp boot followed by a clean shut down, then my ntfs partition mounted and i was able to delete that virus.I could mount that partition with ntfs ro option in fstab, but not with ntfs-3g rw until i got a clean xp shutdown.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a weird problem, I have updated the BIOS for my motherboard (MSI K9A2 Platinum V2) to version 1.B which updates the CPU AGESA code. After the update I was unable to properly shut down linux (gentoo linux 64 bit, kernel 2.6.34, kde 4.4), when I try to do a shut down (tried it from kde and from the command line as well with the same result) the computer shuts down but then it starts up again, only this time the keyboard doesn't work. I think that somehow, the way the pc shuts down has changed (maybe linux is sending the wrong commands in order to shut down) because from windows 7 I can shut down the pc properly.
I have tried to recompile the kernel (I thought that maybe I forgot to add support for some ACPI, APM or CPU options that could affect the shut down procedure) but with no luck.
My ubuntu software center will as stated not work properly, i will click a categ0ry and it will just sit there searching, same with if I just search for something, is there something wrong with my Ubuntu installation or is the ubuntu software center server down or something?

However, Iḿ now triyng to install programs from the Ubuntu Software Center and it does not work properly. I just select the program I want to install and press the button, but I do not get a response. Net connection is ok, so the problem is somewhere else.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOfflate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu was working perfectly fine, then I used the Update Manager to update ubuntu, but my laptop randomly shut down during the installation (which my laptop has never done before and hasnt done since). When I turned the laptop back on, and booted Ubuntu, a white box appears in the middle of the screen but rather than asking for my login details, it just says what I named my computer. I am unable to move my mouse or type anything on my keyboard at this stage..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 11.04 (loving it so far) and just toying around with it a bit. However, whenever I try to shut it down or restart it takes an abnormally long time.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 10.04 yesterday and Firefox, or rather something I don't know that's replaced it called "Namoroku", worked fine. Today Firefox won't work and Thunderbird and Evolution won't work, either with wifi or with a direct Ethernet link. When I did the System Test, it claimed that the internet connection was fine, but I can't get anything in or out. This is on an Acer Aspire One that I have configured as dual boot with Windows 7. Under Windows Firefox works fine on the wifi. I haven't checked on the Ethernet connection, but assume it works if the wifi does.
Ubuntu also tells me that my battery is "broken", although that's a lesser problem. I can ignore that. Windows has no problem with the battery, either.

I have installed Linux Mint 10 on a HP Pro Book 4720s, see here: [URL]
After the installation I wanted to shut down the PC and used the button in the menu. Then appears the Linux Mint Screen and nothing happens.
I could just shut down the PC by pressing the power button for a few seconds, but that isn't a solution.
After so recent updates, I find the network connections has changed.
I see now that it connects to the network (dsl) by default. I unchecked the box 'connect automatically', yet it still is connected by the time the monitor turns on when awakened from sleep or hibernation.
How can I get the auto network connection turned off without physically pulling the plug?
I'm running 10.10 Ubuntu desktop edition
Last night I decided to upgrade to Natty Narwhal 11.04 from MM10.10. I tried to leave it to install overnight.
Some bright spark turned off the power supply to my computer.
I don't know exactly what stage the installation was at, but it must have been installing the upgrade at least, because I'm now locked out of my computer.
Boot up progresses until the ubuntu loading screen. At this point is says,
'Ubuntu 10.10'
The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present Continue to wait; or press s to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.
(If I press 'S', it says something like 'cannot find /tmp folder')
I don't know if the upgrade installation was completed, but I suspect not, because the power was turned off just an hour into the installation. Also it still tries to load Ubuntu 10.10.
Anything I can do besides formatting for a fresh 11.04 install? If only to save some files?
Ubuntu 9.10 on my dual boot HP laptop won't shut down completely (my screen goes blank but the laptop doesn't power off just hangs with no screen display showing anything). I never had this problem before. It appeared after the 2.6.31-19 update.
After I push the power/reboot button and then restart the laptop, I am able to shut down.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in a Raid 0. The install went fine. When I shut down my machine then boot it back up it shows no raid volumes defined and my hard drives as offline. Then the Disk boot error message. I am new to Unbuntu and I am sure the solution is simple I just need to know what to do.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 5610 and since installing Ubuntu 9.10, the computer tends to shutdown by itself while I'm using it. Does this happen to anyone else? I would like to know what's causing this so I can either fix/solve it. I never had this problem on Ubuntu 9.04, 8.10 or 8.04. Checking the system log file viewer hasn't given me any clues to what's causing this. I just know the issue started when I installed 9.10.

I've just set myself up with lucid - to anyone involved in the development of it, congratulations; it was the easiest install I have ever done, and it looks and feels great.
However, I am having a small problem - when I've tried to install some new programs (specifically sunbird), it's told me that I need to update the software catalogue, and I can't find a function in the GUI to do so. I went into a terminal and used apt-get update in the hope that that would fix it as well as trying the update manager, and then went to the help file/google but didn't have any luck. I know I could install it through the command line, but I'd rather deal with this issue. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
