Ubuntu :: Opening Certain Software Apps Causing 10.04 To Shutdown
Dec 28, 2010
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I installed VirtualBox ( AMD64 bit version) from here [URL] however whenever I went to run it, it would cause the system to log out (not shut down, just drop out) and return to the login screen. I thought this could be an issue with that version of VirtualBox so I uninstalled and and then installed the version through the Software Centre, however unfortunately it was causing the same problem. I thought this may be a VirtualBox specific issue, however the same thing is now happening since I installed skype (again only when I run Skype).
I understand the description I am giving is very vague, and as such my first question would be : how am I able to produce an error report (of such) that would better suffice in describing the problem? Obviously, if anyone has come across this problem, do they know how to fix it? Sorry, one last thing, and I'm not sure if this matters at all, but I'm running three monitors over two video cards using the Nvidia driver with Xinerema. I only bring this up, because a while back I was running 10.04 with two monitors in Twinview and had no problems.

I had this problem in 10.04 and hoped it would go away in 10.10, but it did not. My computer crashes on shutdown. When the system is shutting down, the screen goes black (sometimes with a bunch of grey lines), and just hangs. I have waited for a long time but nothing happens. I have to shut it down manually, with file losses as a result. How should I go about fixing this? I have looked a bit in /var/log but do not know where to look for. Where can I find what is causing this?

i just wanted to check if its something silly ive overseen and if anyone else is having this problem...im running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS with latest version of squid 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.2. now when i shutdown or reboot the system, it says something along this lines of umount: /var is busy (check using lsof...). this is followed by text in red: [fail].when the system starts up again, i can see /var journal is recovering, so the /var partition was not cleanly unmounted during shutdown. obviously, there is a risk of filesystem corruption here. FYI, i have /var and other important mountpoints as separate partitions (LVM; ext4).
to confirm my suspicions of squid still running during shutdown, i checked /var/log/squid/cache.log and there is no indication that it received the signal to terminate. if i manually run "stop squid", then cache.log would show that squid has stopped successfully (or words to that effect).to confirm that /var is locked by squid during shutdown, ive added a script to run "lsof | grep var" before filesystems are unmounted. and voila! it indicates that various files used by squid in /var such as swap.state are still open. hence, the next system startup would result in /var recovering journal again.finally, i tried running "stop squid" before issuing the shutdown command and it successfully unmounts /var and i do not get /var recovering journal on the next system startup.

I have been looking for a lightweight bandwidth monitoring app and came across bmon. It does what I need. However it has an interesting way of exiting.
when it is running and you close it down it ask you 'Really quit (y/n)' and does not shut down. I am used to just right clicking on my desktop and selecting 'leave' when it comes to shutdown time.
A few times now the laptop hangs on shutdown if bmon is open. I guess it is due to the app asking if it should shutdown. Is there a way to disable the app asking or alternatively nuke it for sure with some script on shutdown.
I could search the relevant konsole running the app and go thru the steps to shut it down but sometimes I am in a hurry and it doesn't feel like the way to go anyhow?

I have a 2 monitor configuration, with the second monitor uses exclusively for mythtv. When I'm not actually watching tv or a muvie or watching visualizations with music playing, I actually use the machine for more productive uses. As the result the second monitor is typically not turned on, might have something to do the the fact it's a crt design, consumes a fair bit of power and does a good job keeping the media room overly warm.
The question is, does Fedora 11 or newer have a means to prevent applications from opening on the second monitor? I've checked the obvious places and nothing jumps out .
btw: According to the nvidia x server settings control panel the second monitor is set up as in twinview mode. This mode was chosen to allow the gpu to do most of the video decoding tasks using vdupau or something as I recall.

I recently installed KDE and began using that instead of Unity (less buggy, IMHO) and it was running smoothly until I began configuring my GTK applications for transition in that. I installed the Oxygen-GTK them from gnome-look.org and set that as my default theme for GTK applications under the KDE appearance preferences.
When I log in, however, GTK applications just use the stock Xorg theme until I run "gnome-appearance-properties" in my terminal.I believe that a fix involving .gtkrc would suffice, but I honestly cannot configure it no matter how hard I try.

This is my first post here. I hope someone can help because I'm quite frustrated by now. I'm trying to write a bash script which will start a graphical app on our Ubuntu compute servers via X. I'm using a loop like:

I have openSUSE 11.2 KDE with NVIDIA drivers. I have a TV on the left and a monitor on the right. In the Nvidia drivers this has also been setup as stated. The TV is on position 0:0 and the monitor is in position 1920:0. The monitor has been ticked in the drivers as the primary screen.
My problem is that all application open on the secondary screen and not the primary screen (monitor) as I expect. How to the OS/drivers that will ensure that application always open on the monitor situated on the right are welcome.

I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?

Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.

Ubuntu will randomly pop up the shutdown menu and then shutdown.It seems to happen when im in firefox and typing and it has been difficult to replicate. I dont think it is a temp issue since watch sensors shows temmp of 40-50C. Someimtes it happens every minute someimtes i can go 10min without it happening.

I cannot locate shutdown log for Linux shutdown to check various activities carried out during shutdown. I can view Startup Log which is availble on console>Applications>System Tools>System Logs.
I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.
I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.
That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.

i recently switched from windows vista to ubuntu 10.04, so i am a complete noob at this stuff... i enabled the ufw a few days ago and ever since then my Internet connection has been pretty spotty. i connect to the wireless network fine, and there is nothing wrong with the actual Internet connection (other computers in the house are using it fine) it is very frustrating and i was wondering if there is a way to stop this, do i need to forward some ports, or do i really even need the firewall at all... i don't really do many things that would allow me to get hacked in the first place..

I'll navigate to a page in Chromium and X will crash and restart, bumping me back to the login screen. Any idea how to start troubleshooting this?
Nothing obvious in the X logs.

Is anyone else having trouble with frequent kernel panics whenever the Transmission bittorrent client is running? I get them after about 1-2 minutes of having transmission running, and need to do a hard reset. I didn't restart transmission this last time and it has been almost 10 minutes with no problems. I've been having problems left and right with KPs since around 8.04 but previously they were infrequent enough that it was still more convenient than using windows...Every 2 minutes is ridiculous though, if I can't fix it I'm going to need to get another torrent client!

I'm only relatively new to ubuntu and am having a problem with firefox. There was an update waiting for me this morning to install some dummy package and since I've done that firefox falls down whenever I try to go to a page that requires flash. The screen turns grey and nothing happens.
With my limited knowledge (and inability to use any page that requires flash) I've tried to remove and re-install flash but nothing I do seems to work

I recently upgraded to 10.04 and now netbeans is not working. It worked fine the first restart after i upgraded so i thought all was good. This morning i ran it and it said something about not being able to load some modules. Since then, i've tried uninstalling it, re-installing it, and numerous restarts, all to no avail. I'm gonna try downloading the package from their website and running it from a separate install and see if that helps, but after that, I'm out of ideas.
When i run it either from the terminal or by clicking on it, it shows the loading screen, then the loading screen dissapears, then nothing else happens. In the terminal, it waits about ten seconds after the screen dissapears and the program seems to exit, since the terminal begins accepting commands once again.

I'm running firefox 3.6.12 with the following add ons installed: Windows Media Player 10, Div X web player 1.4.0.233 and Flash 10.1 r102. Ubuntu is 32 bit as is the Flash plugin. Quicktime, VLC and iTunes application detector are installed but disabled. I get recurrent episodes whilst using firefox where the entire screen goes grey/black and after a minute or so the login screen appears and I have to enter my password get back to the desktop. I suspect that this is flash related as it normally occurs after watching a few minutes of video. Disabling flash reduces the frequency of the problem but does not eliminate it.

Running a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 under VMWare Player on a Thinkpad with Win7. Have previously used Perl/TK for GUI apps to run under both Windows & Linux. Latest Activestate Perl (Windows) does not support Perl/Tk, recommends Tkx, so I wanted to see if Tkx would work under Ubuntu. Tried to install Tkx using cpan, got obscure failure indicating dependency problem. Found a recommendation to apt-get install tcl8.5-dev, and then cpan installed Tkx.
Note, perl 5.10.1 is installed in Maverick by default. apt-get upgrade says I have the latest perl, Tcl and TK. I installed Tkx version 1.09 (using cpan). Couldn't find any info on what perl / Tkx versions are compatible. Now Tkx is installed, but any attempt to run a script that uses Tkx causes a segmentation fault. apt-get installed pmtools to investigate. Even examining Tkx with pmtools can cause a seg fault, for example:
$ pmvers Tkx
Segmentation fault
Is Tkx known to work (or not work) under Ubuntu,version 10.10 or other versions? Any suggestions about what to try next?It's hard to find info about Perl Tkx because so many people put "Can u help, tkx in advance" or similar in postings about anything under the sun. I've read a lot of them.

i've noticed lately that when scrolling, the video "tears" and moves along with my scrolling on sites such as videos, when it should be fixed in position. note that it doesn't actually move perfectly and is flickery/cropped while scrolling. i have all the latest updates (10.10) and notice it in both chromium and firefox, so it's either the window manager or ati driver.
