Sep 3, 2009I've used the following script here: [URL] to upgrade Alsa to 1.0.21 in Ubuntu 8.04. Now whenever I run:
Code:
sudo shutdown -h <time> or sudo reboot from the terminal I get a rather annoying beep sound. What's even more annoying is if I use the shutdown command to specify a time I get a beep every 10 minutes or so.
I've tried disabling the terminal beep in the terminal profile, disabling the beep in System/Preferences/Sound, adding "blacklist pcspkr" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, and running gconf-editor from the terminal and setting /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/bell_mode to 'off' rather than 'on'.

Server :: Shutdown The Nodes From The Master Terminal Using "shutdown -h Now" Get Shutdown?
Dec 10, 2010I 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 ?

Dec 12, 2010 I'd like to run a program [URL] from the GUI menu (yes, I know I can run it from the command line). I've gotten this to work by using a menu entry (see attached screenshot).The command is:
Code:
gksu chkrootkit
with the option for Type: was selected as Application in Terminal However, when chkrootkit is finished, the terminal immediately snaps shut according to the profile selection: When Commands Exits: Close terminal What I'd like to do is create another profile that causes the terminal to be held open (see screenshot) when the command exits and be able to choose that profile from the GUI Menu entry. I believe the command when using the CLI is:
Code:
gnome-terminal --profile=<profile_name>
how do I incorporate this within the Command entry line of the launcher?

Apr 19, 2011Naturally i don't want to harm my system but I would like I shutdown via the terminal. I understand there are shutdown poweroff and halt commands. Which is the safe one (like as if I just did it using the GUI) at the moment I am just using shutdown now and that seems to work fine, I just want to check that it's not harming my system and that this command does everything it needs to ie closes all programs and shuts everything down in a safe way.

Mar 1, 2010Ever since I installed openSuse 11.2, my monitor wont turn off after I shutdown my computer.
The monitor light changes to orange, like its turning itself off. But then the light changes to green and the message "no signal detected" comes on - then the light turns orange. This cycle repeats untill I manually hit the power button to turn it off.
I booted to windows 7 (dual boot), shutdown, but it is still happening!
Like I said, this started happening immediately after I installed openSuse.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Bootup And Shutdown Screens Have Ugly Terminal Text
May 4, 2010My home desktop computer upgraded to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 without any problems. However, after all was said and done, the boot up and shut down screens look like crap. They are all in terminal text, and without any graphics. I have attached pictures of what they look like. This can't be right. Is there a way I can set the system to use the proper graphics when booting up and shutting down? I like my computer to be pretty.
This is what it does for most of the boot process:
boot1.jpg
It does this just before the screen where I enter my password.

This is how it looks when it shuts down:

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Freezing - Cannot Force Reboot - Shutdown - Run - Enter Terminal
Nov 5, 2010Two or three times on a daily basis it just freezes and I do not know why. For example, I am doing some minor coding, surfing the web and just some regular stuff and suddenly, out of nowhere, it just freezes. I cannot force reboot, cannot shutdown, cannot run, cannot enter terminal, nothing. Totally helpless. Only physical reboot do the work. Never had this issue before.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: "shutdown" In Terminal Vs "shutdown" In Desktop
Feb 26, 2010I'm new to Ubuntu and have spent several days trying to make a few simple alterations to my Myth 9.10 installation. My biggest task was to get the MCE "power" and "start" buttons working, which they now are - sort of.
The problem is with the shutdown command that the power button activates seems to be different to the shutdown command from the taskbar shutdown menu i.e. when I switch off the computer with the remote it restarts with the "recovery" menu as it wasn't shutdown properly. Same thing happens with the shutdown command from a terminal window. Shutting off from the desktop menu is fine.
Ubuntu :: Is Command Line Invocation Of Gnome-terminal To Run More Than One Command
Feb 17, 2010how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

Ubuntu :: Program To Monitor Changes To Files?
May 9, 2011Any program that can monitor changes to files? I've had an issue for a while now where files will simply disappear. Specifically, FLAC files that are loaded into Rhythmbox. Once I've found the files in the Trash bin, but I've just noticed several that appear to have been missing for some time, as they were not in the Trash. Basically, I'd like something that will log the non-read activities of a given directory or directories.
