For the past 3 days skype has been giving me problems for some reason. I start it, the sign in screen shows up and like 5 seconds later it closes, I check if the process is still running but it's not so it just shuts down. I've tried uninstalling it from synaptic package manager, then installing it again and it's still doing me this.
View 6 RepliesI was using my Skype yesterday and it started to shut down when I was trying to log in. I have re-installed it and it still not working.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny time i try to open skype it closes out fully in 5 seconds (not even in the processes anymore). I don't know why or how OR how to make it stop being so mean to me! i'm running ubuntu 10.4 32bit . I tried to boot it in safe mode and umm.. it froze? or crashed? well it was on the black screen with the blinking dot for like 20 mins before i gave up on it (Hiting enter or esc or anything didn't work). There was a key symbol on my panel before skype acted up(It closed and disabled something.. i've never seen it before). Adobe also crashed, and linux did a small update (nothing with skype).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a IOgear USB bluetooth adapter and a Sony DRBT101/BLK bluetooth headphones to use with my computer.Whenever I try to make a call using these headphones with skype, I can speak for say 10 seconds and then the headset disconnects completely from the system. I then have to reconnect the headset by switching it off and on. I do not have this problem listening to music using A2DP. It works fine with my mobile phone.When I change the profile to Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP), it shows up as hands free, I thought it should be headset in blueman manager. My friend uses Plantronics headset with is Dell laptop with built in bluetooth and he says his comes up as headset not hands free. Could this be causing the problem?

I cant seem to text via skype, it doesnt go through. I testet the skype test call service and voice works fine, audio and mic. I have tried to google and search forums but no luck. I have before used skype on my netbook with my cellphone as a hot spot and it worked without problem but it doesnt have the same provider - different sim cards in phone and dongle.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed VMware server 2.x on my windows XP SP2 and installed Ubuntu 9.10 on the VMWare. I have noticed several times that the ubuntu machines shuts it down (not sure the time pattern but it could be that it shuts down after a certain minutes idle). As a result of that, I always have to restart it.
I checked the event log viewer, it looks like there's always a segfault just before it shuts down. I've pasted the last few lines of event log below.

I've been using Ubuntu on my desktop for a while and it worked like a charm. Three months ago, I decided to put a new cpu fan because the old one was gathering dust and I wanted to have lower cpu temps. I decided to buy an Scythe Kabuto, nd installed it with no problems. Windows XP works perfect, but the problems come when I try to start Ubuntu, both from a Live CD or from the HD. Ubuntu starts normally, but in a short period of time (2~15 minutes) the PC randomly shuts down. I've seen some errors when I restart and try to start Ubuntu again mentioning high CPU tempetatures. The fact is that the CPU temperature never reaches more than 65, so my guess is that there is some problems with the ACPI and temp reading.

Sounds like you need an xorg.conf file to define the display a little better as udev is not detecting. Here is a sample file you can start with: (Refers to a URL that led me to this forum)

I just had my laptop in the shop for a month or so now (through Staples warrenty) I sent it in because my LCD monitor wasn't lighting up after a bit of use.
Got it back and they said my issue could not be replicated, so they just cleaned it and such and gave it back. Well so far it's been going pretty good, monitor stays on except when i turn on Heroes of Newerth.
What kind of problem is this and is it easily fixable?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed ubuntu 10 yesterday and I have a real frustrating problem. It shuts down for no reason at all, at first I thought it was because I was not using it (power management or maybe because of the screensaver) so configured it to never put it to sleep or shut down, and disabled the screensaver but it keeps happening. This is actually the second time I'm writing this post, because it suddenly shut down again while I was writing this before submitting it. I used to never have this problem before when I was using windows, so the problem must be something with Ubuntu.
Could it be something with my gfx driver? I tried configuring Fluxbox to use my second screen as an extended desktop but couldn't get it to work except with Gnome. If I do "fglrxinfo" I get a segmentation fault, so I messed that up but I'm okay with that because everything is working like I want it with Gnome. One weird thing I've noticed is that ubuntu once said (when booting) that it couldn't find /dev/null...? Should I just try a reinstall? I'm on a quad core with 2GB ram and an ATI HD 4870 2gb graphics card.
Ubuntu keeps shutting down my comp randomly for no reason at all. It doesn't even display any message, it just goes down without warning.
I'm sure it's not a heat issue. My computer never gets very hot and even when it does it still is very reliable.
Can someone please help me fix this? I'm very new to Ubuntu so i'm sorry if this question has already been answered somewhere else.
I've been using Ubuntu for about one year. Recently upgraded to 10.04. The PC tries to boot, comes to the "Booting from device hd..." screen and then shuts down. It shuts down or halts but doesn't power off. The CPU is still powered. This happens for about 2 in 4 boots. The recovery mode runs just fine. It says no damaged partitions. Only the 'booting from device' is the problem point.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, recently I tried getting Ubuntu on my desktop. First, I got the CD, inserted it, and it seemed to boot fine to this orange screen, with a texture, and at the bottom what seemed to be a video roll and a man with his arms open. Right after that my system's monitor seemed to shut down, completely, and I was unable to turn it back on. I restarted my computer and went through the same process until I took out the CD. So then I tried installing it into Windows, but that didn't work either. It had the Ubuntu boot option, and I selected it where I was shown The installation is completing
5-4-3-2-1-0
With a counter, and when it went to 0 my screen shut down and my computer went into a weird half-off state.
After using Ubuntu 10.4 for months, my computer has started turning itself on without my pressing the on button. Sometimes it gets halfway through the boot process and shuts itself down. Sometimes it gets all the way to the desktop and a window pops up saying shutdown in 60 seconds however it never waits but shuts down immediately. Probably the second time this happened, I had time enough to get to the Power Manager and made sure it was set to 'never' power down. Currently the on/off cycling is happening so quickly I can't check the BIOS or grup. My only control is the master power switch on the back

View 4 Replies View RelatedSometimes, when I leave my Ubuntu's X Server on, I'll come back after several minutes and see that my machine is powered off. Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't, but I don't think it's because of hardware failure rather than my lack of measurement.
It used to power off in terminal mode (CTRL+ALT+F1) but then I added this to ~/.bashrc and it went away:
Code:
if [ "${USER}" == "root" ]
then
export TMOUT = 3600
fi
Also, I checked my logs and I see this:
Code:
Feb 2 00:00:09 l1nux AptDaemon: INFO: Quiting due to inactivity
Feb 2 00:00:09 l1nux AptDaemon: INFO: Shutdown was requested
Since it's not a CRITICAL message, but an INFO, it seems like its a planned shutdown.
Does anyone know how I can turn this feature off?
For some reason,Ubuntu tends to use my CPU quite a lot.This cause my laptop to get really hot.Sometimes it even gets to the point when it automatically shuts down because of the CPU's temperature.Is there some sort of program or application to fix this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've only recently switched to Ubuntu and overall I'm loving it. When i first installed it shut down perfectly from the GUI. After updating from the Update Manager, I've had problems. Now it shuts down but my PC doesn't power down.
I can manually make it shut and power down from the terminal with the command:
sudo shutdown -h -P now
or:
sudo poweroff
The fact that it works from the Terminal but not from the GUI suggests there might be a coding problem with the GUI but discovering and fixing that is way beyond my capabilties.
Trying to install Natty 11.04 via PXE. The ethernet is a Realtek RTL8168d/8111d gigabit. It DHCPs and configures just fine. Then it downloads what it needs for partitioning and does that. After partitioning, it runs net/hw-detect.hotplug which discovers the interface as new, then strips it of any configuration so it can not proceed further. Is there any way to disable this secondary hotplug detection of the ethernet interface?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just started using Ubuntu at the advice of a friend. I am running it from a flash drive.I have a wired network that always works fine with Windows on this computer.After starting up Ubuntu it connected right up and I was able to use it. Then, out of the blue the machine shut off. Upon restart, I was unable to connect to the internet.I reinstalled Ubuntu to a different flash drive and it worked fine once again.I left the computer running while I went out for supper, returned and the computer was "asleep" and would not wake back up.I shut off the computer and restarted Ubuntu.No internet again. As always, it works fine in Windows.Also, BOTH times this has happened, the OS says I am connected to the internet, and I can turn the connection on and off, but it is not connected. This happens even if I reboot the computer. (I have a cable connection.)
