Ubuntu :: Rhythmbox Fills Screen - Won't Shutdown?
Feb 3, 2010
Being a noob to gnome. i was playing around with rhythmbox and suddenly found i could not close it. I had lost the title bar and the quit selection in the file menu was grayed out. Alt-tab seemed to work but rythmbox stayed on top (so it essentially didn't work). I finally had to go to cl and kill -9. Not the optimal way to shut down an app.So, to recap... rythmbox fills screen with it's menubar at top and it's status bar at bottom

I just got Ubuntu to install, which is great. However, during the part of the installation that involved setting up software, something went wrong. I used the alternate installer and toward the end of that step, it told me the step failed. I simply skipped the step because of this. The result: I've got Ubuntu going, but it's only the command line. I need some help getting GNOME installed from here. I searched and saw people saying to use sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but that just fills my screen with messages about missing files.

I have recently installed 11.04 natty on Intel Core i3-2100 3.1 GHZ using its own graphic accelerator. When the screen is idle for a long time, more than 1 hour, I get a black screen with the mouse arrow but nothing else. the mouse moves the cursor and Ctl+Alt+F1 does work. How to fix this problem?

I am using Xubuntu 10.10 64bit . When I press the quit or logoff buttons on the desktop it takes me to the logon screen and then at the bottom right corner it allows me to shutdown or reboot. I would like to bypass this screen entirely,and just shutdown reboot from the desktop. Only I use this machine at home ,no none else needs to log on. Is there any way to do this?

System:Thunderbird v3.0.5Ubuntu Lucid LynxEverything works fine with Thunderbird until I view the Inbox.When I start thunderbird the "Whats New in Thunderbird" tab is shown. As soon as I click on the Inbox tab the RAM is filled to 97% and the system slows down immediately. After killing thunderbird everything works fine.

I have the strangest issue where my HDD reports full, but I can only account for about a tenth of the data.
Specs:
Ubuntu 10.4
laptop Toshiba Tecra A11
HDD 250GB
4Gb RAM
/home 20.3GB
/usr 2.4GB
/var 742MB
/lib 132.9MB
/opt 71.3 MB
/boot 15.4MB
/etc 14.2MB
sbin 7.4MB
bin 6.4MB
The rest are below a MB. This system is not a dual boot so 241Gb is ext4 and 8.9Gb is Extended and 8.9GB is Swap. This system has been loaded for about a month, when I initially loaded it there was 230GB free.

I'm having the oddest problem. I use Ubuntu 10 LTS on 3 Amazon EC2 "large" instances, for Drupal hosting. All three servers are seeing the same issue, where root gradually fills up with files that I cannot see by any means. ls -a , du , nothing seems to see these files except for df. And when the drive gets full (after about a week), the server behaves as if the disk is full... so I believe that df is correct here. The moment I restart mysql, all that invisible data disappears, and everything is fine again.
The MySQL datadir is on a separate device (600GB EBS mounted at /ebs ), so it's definitely not MySQL data. And /tmp doesn't have anything visible going on; certainly not something that would take up 9gb.
I suspect that something is causing the kernel to not release file handlers correctly. For all I know this could be happening with all programs, but MySQL is the only thing running that would use enough temp space to be noticed. Each server has some applications that happen on it uniquely, but since it's happening on all of them I figure it's the common elements that count. The servers are a clean install, running Apache2 (PHP 5.3), MySQL, and SSHD. All three servers were installed from the official AMI.

I was curious about the constantly blinking HDD led on my netbook, and I found out, that the modem-manager daemon constantly spamming my logs.The affected logs are syslog, daemon.log and debug.he modem-manager service drops a line every 2 second (actual time) to these 3 logfile.It is just a conncetion information, like this:
Nov 19 12:11:04 zwbnoti modem-manager: Duration: 3012 Up: 0 Kbps Down: 0 Kbps Total: 6454 Total: 15560
Nov 19 12:11:06 zwbnoti modem-manager: Duration: 3014 Up: 11 Kbps Down: 3 Kbps Total: 6456

What I am looking for is a dashboard type plugin for Rhythmbox which will show on the main screen ...then (because of the small size) I can use VNC on my Android Phone to see what is playing and to change songs etc.

I was just copying a large (50GB) file from one mounted partition to another mounted partition (a USB drive), but before the operation completed, my root filesystem, on a separate partition, filled up.Because it filled up I also couldn't get past the login when I rebooted. I think this is because there is no room to load temporary files. I'm expanding the root partition to temporarily fix this. how can I avoid my root file system filling up when copying a massive file between mounted partitions? the file is being cached in root during the transfer.

fc10 86_64Every time I login and do not run any programs, the swap space used goes from 300 MB to 6GB. Memory stays at about 320 MB (out of 4 GB). I takes several minutes to fill the swap space, and when it gets full, it then goes back to 300 MB. Then the system runs ok.The system monitor shows no processes (other than itself) running, but cpu usage is about 20% on 1 of the 2 cpus

I was messing around with the screen orientation and thought it would be funny to orient it sideways. Big mistake The screen went black.I can force a shutdown, login and I get the same black screen. I tried hooking up an external monitor and the monitor showed no input so I'm guessing my laptop doesn't have that capability with Fedora.This is my main computer.

Starting today, when I click on shutdown, it takes me back to login scree instead of shutting down the computer.
From the login screen, if I press on shutdown on the bottom right, it will indeed shutdown !

This last time i managed to get it to install but it starts to load and the little Fedora hourglass fills up to the top and then it hard locks the machine. So.. I trashed the install and but ubuntu on.. but i wanted to give it another go, this time downloading the live CD rather then the DVD and see if i have better luck with it. My system is:
I7 920 with ASUS Mainboard :Asus P6T DELUXE V2
Physical Memory :12288MB (6 x 2048 DDR3-SDRAM )
Hard Disk :Seagate ST95005620AS (500GB) (clean drive not raid)
Video Card 1 :NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
Video Card 2 :NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
I have no logs at this time since, i wiped the original install out, i am just finishing out the download of the live CD and will try again. The qustion is is something i have an ovious issue, like the 2 video cards or something incompatable etc?

I've just checked my apache error log and it's filled with this:
Code:
[error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /srv/www/htdocs/announce
Every 8 minutes or so.
I'm running rTorrent as daemon on same machine, and I suspect it's trying to access something like http://localhost/announce. But that's just my guess, is it some misconfiguration of rTorrent, and how do I fix that? Or should I just ignore all those errors.

we were watching Clint Eastwood in Pink Cadillac on DVD. Earlier, I had been checking out the streaming internet radio on my roommates Mint laptop using Rhythmbox, and found it to be pretty cool. Usually, if I stream any music, it's just from the CBC (like the U.S.'s NPR), so I just stream it directly from them, but all the stations on rhythmbox (there's a whack of them) got me interested. At the start of Pink Cadillac, I proposed myself a challenge: Could I manage to get rhythmbox (a GNOME application) to work on my Slack64 -current box, before the movie ended? There's probably (maybe?) a similar app that installs and works more natively on Slack, but that's not the point; I wanted to try installing rhythmbox in < 2 hrs. Well, I got it installed finally, *just* at the end of the movie credits, but it won't play! And sometimes it segfaults. So, I wonder if anyone has any tips about what I might be missing or whatever.
Here's what I typically get when I first start it up (though it starts & runs OK):
Code:
sasha@reactor: rhythmbox
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
(rhythmbox:15745): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(rhythmbox:15745): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
[code].....
Seems even on systems with some sort of 'natural' support for installing this thing, a lot of people are getting the same or very similar errors, but I haven't found a solution (obviously - I wouldn't be posting otherwise ) but people, myself included, have discovered that there doesn't seem to be a 100% accurate list of *required* dependencies for rhythmbox; it needs stuff that it doesn't tell you it needs.
EDIT: Disclaimer (just to cut the 'dependency-hell' arguments off at the pass, so to speak): This is just a fun experiment for me. I don't suggest Slackware newbies start trying to install <xyz Gnome application> into their Slackware boxes unless you want to spend HOURS fixing stuff like this, and you want to have fun doing it, and have it maybe bork your box up. And if you *do* decide to try it anyways, don't blame Slackware for giving you dependency hell. Gnome doesn't come with Slackware (here's the ChangeLog). I like Slackware exactly the way it is - it comes with more than enough apps to satisfy most people, all nicely working out of the box, so installing stuff like this is not really necessary - but I'm choosing to do this one anyway, and am not deterred by this "mess" of stuff.If this dependency stuff isn't your 'cup of tea', an 'automatically-dependency-resolving' distro might be better for you; I prefer to mess my machine up on my own, rather than let my package manager do it for me.

There are two users on my Ubuntu 10.4 PC: myself and my wife - I'm the administrator/super user. For some strange reason, the lockscreen... shutdown button has suddenly disappeared from the top right of my wife's desktop - it's a circle with a short vertical line at the top. I've found a Shut Down button via 'Add to Panel', but it doesn't have quite the same functionality, e.g. it doesn't support switching to another user. Any idea how to get the lost button back?

I have an 80GB HDD where I installed Windows XP first and then Ubuntu. The thing is that whenever I shut down my computer and then turn it back on (wether it's right away or a few hours later, or the next day), I get the GRUB screen where you have to choose Ubuntu, but after that just a completely black screen. I then have to force a shutdown, then turn it back on, and it works. Whenever I restart it works too, this seems to happen only after a shutdown.
Specs:
Dell Dimension 4600
P4 2.8 GHz procesor
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon x1650 video card

I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite L355-S7905 Intel Celeron Processor 585 @ 2.16 Ghz, Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset. 4GB of Memory, 160 GB HD. Tri-boot: Windows 7, Unbutu 10.04 and Fedora 12.
Here is what happened: I had a hard/forced shutdown while using Ubuntu 10.04. Some warning text flashed on the screen before it went blank and I could not read it. Now when I turn on my laptop it freezes on the Toshiba set up screen. I can not go to the F2 setup, I can not go to the F12 boot seqence and I can not use F8 safe mode. Also the ESC button had no effect.
I have tried turning it on with the Win 7 cd in the drive but nothing. The same when I put my Ubuntu 10.04 cd in the drive, nothing. My guess is that the forced shutdown messed up the bootfile/grub order. The harddrive runs for a few seconds then stops. Should I attack the problem from a Windows view point or a Ubuntu view point?

Everytime I shut down my netbook the blue Kubuntu Screen comes instead of the Red Ubuntu Screen. I don't want the Blue Kubuntu Screen, I want the RED Ubuntu Screen. How do I do this? I tried installing KDE and KDE for netbooks, and KDE default settings (all from software center). What else do I need to do to get rid of this blue screen?

I remember that in previous Ubuntu releases, it was possible to restart/shutdown at the logon screen via the keyboard. I think it was via the F10 key. Can this function be brought back?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (and, on another server, 10.10) and can't seem to figure out how to remove the Shutdown and Restart options from the menu on the bottom right of the login screen.
I've tried
Code: gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor and checking the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons, but it doesn't do anything even after a reboot. I've also tried the above command as root (without the "-u gdm").
I have also tried adding the following lines to /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
Code: RebootCommand= ShutdownCommand= These seem to have no effect either. Is this a Gnome bug, or am I doing something wrong?

A while ago, I was applying the new kernel updates (I guess 2.6.32-24, or the one after it.. well, the latest generic update) and accidentally powered off my laptop. And now it wont come up. It comes to the logon page, and neither the keyboard, nor the mouse work. Cant even switch to the TTYs. When I boot with the recovery mode, I just see a black screen (probably the TTYs dont work) but after "processing" some time, nothing happens. Not sure if the keyboard works, as I cannot turn on/off the capslock switch, but ctrl+alt+del works

I have a netbook, on which I installed the netbook remix. It had ran fine until one day, I shut it down while it was updating. Now, on bootup, it will take me to the login screen and then basically freezes. The keyboard and mouse do not work and I cannot login to any profile. I tried a clean reinstall, but it only finds the preferences I have and sends me right back to the login screen.

I'm using Debian Sid xfce on my lenovo laptop. When i try to shutdown, the screen always stays on (the fans turn off). It says "reached target shutdown", then this happens: [URL] .... and then it hangs. I have to press the power button to shut it down. (I have the same problem with reboot). I had the same issues with Jessie.
Things i tried so far and didn't work:
Code: Select allshutdown -h now
shutdown -p now
halt
poweroff
systemctl poweroff
init 0
I edited /etc/default/grub and added the following options at "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT":
acpi=force, acpi=off*, acpi=noirq
*acpi=off: shutdown (not reboot) worked a few times but i didn't have wifi and power manager didn't seem to work
none of them worked..
I have no energy or wake up options at my BIOS.
I found out that i can normally reboot with the Alt + sysrq + REISUB key combination.
