I may be wrong but I remember when I would go to restart my computer, a window would appear with a coundown clock starting at I think 60 seconds. I don't see this in Ubuntu 10.04. How can I get this back? Is there a setting in the Configuration editor or something similar?
View 8 RepliesIs there a way to disable the window that pops up after you hit shutdown or restart so that Ubuntu restarts and shutdowns after one click?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just installed kubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) on a moderately new Lenovo R500 laptop (dual-booting with Windows XP).
Problem: several times per working day the screen goes blank. It remains backlit, and I can still hear music or games if they were running beforehand. The only way I have found out of the situation is a full restart.
The problem occurs somewhat randomly, but is usually associated with movement of the mouse. Switching to a new user often causes the problem. Sometimes the screen freezes for 1 second before going blank. I have tried messing with the screensaver settings and the permissions for libusb (which are flagged in the mouse system settings page) without luck.
I use firefox3.6.x, and i play online video (sockwave flash) often, but while opening the page (often has swf), the whole X restart, and back to login window of gdm. The problem not accured everytime i open the page, but very often. I met this problem both in ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, and also lubuntu 10.04. So, i fall back to use firefox 3.5.9, and evrything seems fine.

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've installed Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my computer, and the Dual-booting shows after starting the computer
But what I need to know is how do you set the timer so that if I don't press "Enter"...that it choses my preferred operating system in a certain period of time (seconds or minutes...etc) by itself?
How do I set the user inactivity timer to a different value in 10.04? It seems to be set by default to a very short time.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that will provide a large (full screen and clear) display countdown clock, basically so I can use my laptop in public to show how much time remains in a basketball quarter. I'm the official timer.If it counts up like in soccer rather than down, that's fine too. If the app can also show the score, that would be great, but it is not a requirement. We don't use a shot clock, so that is not required either.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently started coding in bash and I'm making a diagnostic check CD for rackmounted computers to print out to an LCD screen. So far it works but what i want it to do is, when it checks what ethernet ports are unplugged, it stays there for 30 minutes or so and proceeds through the script. I've looked up cron and that seems to be useful for making timers on permanent systems but I just want the cd to boot, do the check and then eject it and let the real OS take over and I've also tried using:
while [ `sleep 30m` ];
do
<script>
with no luck. Is there any command I can use to do this? I've noticed a few examples where people have captured the time and then used a while less than/greater than statement but I'm not sure how to do this. Is it possible to do a concept like:
while [ %current time -lt %current time+30 min ];
do
<script>

I'm trying to understand how interrupts work. Is there a way to generate timer interrupts in C. Also can we enter into the protected mode of the CPU. Does OS (specifically, linux) place any restrictions on user programs entering protected mode. If it does not, do we just have an assembly language program which changed the mode, followed by the C code... I'm just trying to understand how things work at the lowest level. So I'm trying to write few snippets to test my understanding.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have Banshee's alarm plugin installed. From Banshee's menu, I click on Tools → Alarm Clock → Sleep Timer. The timer looks like it should be set according to 24-hour time, so I set it for 2 minutes past the current time and click "Okay". The timer doesn't turn off the music when the designated time comes and goes. Thinking that maybe it's a countdown timer, I just set the thing to 2 minutes, but 2 minutes later the music keeps playing on and on. I go Tools → Alarm Clock → Alarm and put a check mark in "Enable Alarm" and try the sleep timer again, but still it doesn't work. I'm running 10.04 64-bit.

But now it has died silently: though the process itself was running, the service become unavailable. Entries like this were found in the logs:

I'm implementing a TCP protocol. TCP implementation requires to send packets continuously and if the receiver doesnt respond after a particular interval of time it should resend the packet again. I need some method to implement a timer expiry function. How can I implement it? Should i implement threads (If yes can you please give a sample)? or is there any better method?
