Fedora X86/64bit :: Running F11 I586 On Laptop / System Shut Off (not A Normal OS Shut Down, But A Sudden Power Off Without Warning)?
Oct 13, 2009Offlate 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.

Feb 20, 2010I'm very new to Linux but when I first installed it, I downloaded the Start-Up Manager so I could change the boot order. I have a dual boot Windows-Linux, I set the default as Windows. Recently my computer started booting to the system memory test in the grub menu instead of Windows. When I try to open the Start-Up Manager now it asks me for the password as usual and then does not start. How I would change it back to windows for the default? I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

Mar 17, 2010OK, so basically my problem is that I can't log out, shut down, or restart my computer through the GUI. The thing is, it used to work. Note: this started happening right after I put in the lock / logout widget, but it's really a pain to have to go through the Kickoff menu to lock the screen each time, and leaving my files, online accounts, and what's on my screen open to anyone who wants to snoop is not an option. I may have to just suck it up and lock the screen the old-fashioned way, but only as a last resort.
Configuration: An older Gateway (idk the exact specs) desktop machine with Windows XP and Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic (dual-boot)
Ubuntu :: Computer Does Not Shut Down Normally
May 2, 2010Since a long time I have a problem when shutting down my computer. I have ubuntu 8.04 installed, and I do install regularly all the updates including new kernels, etc. Here are the symptoms: After pressing "shutdown" (or issuing a command in terminal) it happens (always) that the screen is still working at the end of shutdown process (ubuntu progress bar is at minimum and it stays visible). Also, CPU fan is still working. However, power and HDD lights go off.
The only possible way to shutdown computer at that moment is holding power button for 5 seconds. However, restart works OK. Now, I am sure that shutdown worked earlier fine, but unfortunately I cannot remember when the problems started: either when I installed 8.04 or after installing some of the kernel updates. Configuration: Asus 5pgl-mx motherboard, 1.5 GB ram, nvidia graphic card (sorry, not sure what model), etc.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 'shut Down Computer' Options
May 3, 2010I seem to get different options depending on the user. On my main, admin user, when I click on the `power button` icon on the right of my taskbar, I get a choice of:
shutdown
restart
suspend
hibernate
and if I want to log off I click on the start button.but when I log on as my `guest` user, who has next to no permissions, I get log off, switch user etc on the `power button` icon. It would be nice to have all these options on the `power button` icon on my admin user. Can this be achieved? Why are they different?
Ubuntu :: Audio Down And Computer Won't Shut Down?
Jun 11, 2010I'm going to guess this has to do with me updating yesterday, as there were no problems before that. Which kind of ticks me off, because I came back to ubuntu because I got tired of micromanaging updates in arch.
Audio is down. The volume can be changed, but it isn't reflected in the volume icon at the top of the screen. Sound preferences show the only output available is a dummy speaker. When I try to restart or shut down, it just logs me out of my profile and takes me to the login screen. As always, if you need more info, just tell me where to find it.

Sep 8, 2010Code:
sudo shutdown now
command does not shut the computer down
When the command is typed a, all the programs are closed and proceeds to shut down. But after some time, screen gets stuck(plymouth animation stops moving). But the computer is still working. Fan is running , Power LED is on. LED showing hard disk usage blinks at equal time interval. There is no problem in shutting down using the button on panel. So I suppose it is not a hardware problem. More over there is no problem in windows. The graphics card is Nvidia Geforce 7300GS. I am using proprietary Nvidia driver.
Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Doesn't Shut Down
Dec 28, 2010I 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.
Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Shut Off During Upgrade?
Aug 2, 2011Last 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 Networking :: B43 Inactive When Computer Shut Down And Restarted
Feb 22, 2011I have v 10.10 and I had to hook up with ethernet cord to download and activate both broadcom b43 and sta drivers. Once they were both downloaded and activated my wireless worked fine. (Also I have an hp mini 210-1000 if that helps.) After unplugging my laptop and using it, if it dies or if things are running really funky and it seems like it could use a restart, or on one of the many occasions where I am not going to be using it for a few days and just shut it down, as soon as I start it back up.
I find that sta driver still says activated under system - admin - additional drivers, however the b43 now says inactive, and my wireless wont connect to any router, even though it can detect them, until I connect with the ethernet cord and redo the whole driver activation for both, and then restart. This happens every time, and although I don't often take my laptop out of my room, my router is away from my desk, so this is a major inconvenience when i have work to do, or if I were to ever take it out somewhere with me.

Debian :: How To Exit Windows Mgr (Cannot Shut Down Computer)
Apr 22, 2010I could be wrong, but I swear that when I first considered switching to Linux a few years back the gnome windows manager's main menu had an option to exit said windows manager. There is obviously no such option now. Looking at some other forums, it seems that you can START gnome properly... but to exit the windows manager you have to kill processes? If I want to close down the Gnome WM without rebooting the computer - say, to just try TWM alone, or some other WM - there must be a 'legal' way to do it.

Mar 3, 2011My computer won't shut off unless I just hold down the power button. Everytime I try System > Shut Off it just turns off, then restarts. My computer screen will sometimes just 'turn black' and become unresponsive, and I have to shut it down and restart. (The longest I waited was a few minutes with no response. How do I get customized mouse pointers? When I download something and 'extract' it, how do I know which file I'm supposed to open after I click 'show the files'? I've downloaded a few things and extracted them but I'm assuming I must do more, since they are not on my applications. Which is the best browser to use on Fedora? I love Opera, but for some reason my internet is twice as slow on Opera as it is on Firefox or Chrome?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Shut Down Or Reboot While Another User Was Logged In?
Mar 30, 2010How come you can shut down or reboot from the gui w/o needing root privelages, but if I enter "shutdown -h now" on the command line I am met with "shutdown: Need to be root".
Also- somewhat unrelated to my first question- I recall when I first started Ubuntu-ing, if I wanted to shut down or reboot while another user was logged in, I'd need to enter my password- but it doesn't do that anymore. Two users can be logged in with multiple applications open, and if I reboot or shutdown, it just goes for it? (using 9.04, for now...)
Hardware :: Computer Automatically Shut Itself Down If It Overheats - Thermal Protection?
Jan 3, 2010I am considering trying out gentoo linux on my machine and wanted it to compile while I was gone (going to be gone for a week). I just want to make sure that my system will not MELT while I am not there to make sure everything is okay. I have a pentium 4 prescott. Will my computer automatically shut itself down if it overheats? I've heard its supposed to but sometimes is too late. Can I trust it?

Jan 15, 2011I have a problem with my 10.10 32bit installation. The shut down window repeated appears within a few seconds of use, and this is not user-invoked. The shut down screen just pops up within a few seconds after logging in. It even occurs at the login screen. Once it appears, it'll repeatedly close & reopen. I tried using 10.04 bit (which I normally use on my other computers), and have the same results. This is a new computer that I just bought
