Occasionally when I suspend my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) it begins the suspend process, but then the fan goes to full speed and my laptop remains in that state until I press and hold the power button to turn it off. The end of the messages log is:
[code]....
I just wanted to check, I'm using nouveau on Fedora 12 with the latest updates and each time I wake the machine from suspend, the fan on my XFX 8800GT goes to full speed and stays there. I've read some nouveau stuff and they say that nouveau doesn't control the fan speed, so I think the card is running in a safety mode after wake up where it runs the fan at full speed to be safe. The only suggestion I saw for fan speed and nouveau was to use nvclock to manually adjust the fan but that sounds dangerous to me. I think I'll just go to the closed rpmfusion driver then if this is the case.

1st Floppy
2nd CDROM
3rd HD or PenDrive
as this machine I inherited since a few days dates back to 2006 and has no burner only CD-DVD reader and Floppy is disabled in BIOS.After Ubuntu install the machine stopped for a long time on a black screen with white reading about errors during install,then I reset it and it seemed like a good install anyway.Apart from checking if the HD is still ok,what can I do or try in such a situation?
When I put my computer running Ubuntu 9.10 into suspend or hibernate the screen goes black with a little flashing underscore in the corner and when I try to bring the computer out of suspend or hibernate nothing happens and I am forced to manually reboot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone noticing intermittent problems with the screensaver not kicking in or the display not sleeping? This is in gnome under F11.I have the Power Management Preferences set to put the display to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity and gnome screensaver is configured for 5 minutes idle time.On a regular basis, I'll leave my computer come back anda) the screensaver hasn't kicked inorb) the screensaver kicked in, but the power management features didn't kick in to put the display to sleep.It seems to be an intermittent problem and usually it goes away after I restart X, but then at some point it comes back. In the past, I've gotten in the habit of being logged in for weeks/months at a time but I find that I can't go more than a few hours without logging out and back in or else the screen won't go to sleep.
View 14 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post here, so I'm not really sure about what sort of responses I'll get. I'm actually sort of regretting the name I chose cause someone else uses it on another website and I can't seem to change it. But that isn't the real issue, so I'll get to the point.
I've had a problem with my Toshiba L355D running Karmic, and now Lynx, overheating for a while. It doesn't heat up as much as other peoples PC's that I've read about, where I've seen numbers like 100c, but it still is significant. When the computer comes out of suspend the fan setting is at its extreme lowest, and the computer, which has had it's bios updates and the kernel modules set to come on when it loads, don't seem to affect it.
The PC will continue to warm up until it reaches its emergency override when the fan comes on, about 80c, and then the temperature will drop, usually at a low of 50 to 60 if given space to cool and 62 to 72 if it sits on a bed. In windows it runs cool no matter what.
Now I love Linux so far since I converted a year ago, but I'm not happy about this. I can ignore other small things, cause Ubuntu hasn't failed me like how Vista did when it erased itself with disk cleanup or with updates causing it to be unable to start up. I can ignore the netflix problem, and WINE has made things easier in other ways, but this issue is the only one preventing my Ubuntu experience from being great. I've read about suspend bugs where Lynx doesn't suspend, but this isn't that, its that the fan controls don't work until the bios has to step in. I've tried to work with Toshiba Utils and still wasn't able to change it.
Is there a way to force the fan to come back on automatically after suspend? I don't mind it running loud if it protects the machine, I would prefer that it works at all.
The OS is Lucid 64-bit . Before I begin I must say suspend/hibernate works fine with 3 other machines, so I'm trying to find out what's wrong with this one. I tried [URL].. and also I tried changing acpi-support. It currently is as this:

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a HP Pavillion Elite HPE-515sc. Product information is here: [URL]
After I installed I could shut down the computer. Then I tried hibernating and it hanged. I tried also suspending, it hanged as well. After that, I could not shut down computer with software, I have to use the power off button.
how to fix these problems (shutting down, hibernating and suspending)?
I've tried to look this problem up on Google but I haven't found much consensus on what to do. I have the HP g6-1070us
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I close the lid on my Macbook Pro 5,2 running Ubuntu 10.04 nothing happens.. it doesn't turn off the screen, suspend, hibernate or anything. Everything that i've looked at says to change the setting in power management but there's no option there for what to do when the lid closes. I've also checked out gconf-editor and the setting appear to be right in that... so I don't know what the issue could be.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMany times it happens that when i shut down ubuntu 10.04 at that time it keeps on showing that screen which displays "Ubuntu" written & below it 5 dots. I waited for 15 minutes than also it keeps on showing that.I have to use hardware restart button in such case.What should i do?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 Worked fined, but suspend doesn't work anymore. When I click suspend, a tty1 terminal screen appears, exactly as you would hit ctrl+alt+F1, with the exception that no input is possible. I'm a newbie and an Ubuntu fan but I absolutely have no idea how to solve this...
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn 13.1 I had my laptop set to suspend when the lid is closed and have installed 13.37 now and even though its set to suspend when lid is closed it never does. I am in the power group and if I click on the battery in and choose suspend it will so I have to suspend manually.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu 9.10 64-Bit. sometimes when i boot the computer, right after the grub loads, a black screen is displayed. It just says my computer's name and "tty1".It lets me enter my username and password. The system takes my password but the black screen remains.For some reason the word "ubuntu" with the loading bar does not appear like it is supposed to in this case. The system does not boot into my destop like it should.
This usually happens 1/4 times when i boot so i didnt pay much attention and would just restart the computer. However just 5 minutes ago i had to boot my computer 12 times to get it to boot into the desktop.
Whenever i close LMMS, it's still running in the background until i kill the process. How can i get it to exit normally?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSometimes when I log on, I find that the theme (specifically the window borders and icons) didn't load properly, and that I instead get a set of grayish window borders (Raleigh, I believe) and the gray GNOME icons. Sometimes the window borders corrects itself, but the icons stay the same. Reloading compiz doesn't help, and the only solution I found was to logoff/logon.

Once I updated to 10.04 I had some problems with my themes, but updated it and it works fine now. BUT, in firefox, 3.6.3 it looks like this:
I can only see the personas image at the tabs and the statusbar. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am trying to install some packages in a ubuntu 8.10 server, however, apt-get doesn't work (I get several 'not found' errors). Is there any way to do that? I know this version is probably not supported anymore but I can't just format a customer server because it's OS is outdated...I just can't put my sources.list on it because I am on ubuntu 10.10 and it would download updates for the wrong OS probably causing a huge damage on the old one.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI tried to put Avast on my 11.04 machine, it didn't work, what's worse is that now only one kernel will work properly. any time i try any kernel other than 2.6.38-9-generic(it came with the install CD)the boot process stops at different points but it's during the time that it is starting and stopping processes. oh yeah, i've tried install different linux systems and they all work with what comes with the install cd but when i try to change the kernel same problem.

I am using Asus X51RL laptop (made in 2007) and it is NOT a hardware problem, suspend works fine in Windows.
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Rasheed and i am from UAE, after not having any reply from a week in Fedora's official forum i came across the linuxquestions through google and hoping to help others and resolve my issues as well with the help of experts here. So here is my problem what i am currently having. I am going through a serious issue right now. My laptop crashes when SUSPEND/HIBERNATE or unplugging the laptop's charger.

I drag and drop the pointer themes to the appearance window found from System>Prefrences>Appearances. When i click customize i see that the pointers i instatlled are there, however when i choose them it doesn't work properly, if i go over text or resize a window i see the new pointers but the main pointer always stays the default white.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had many problems with Linux so far. Here's just one: I love Warcraft 3. So I bought Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne today. I installed them correctly with WINE and tried to open. It starts to open like it does at internet cafes, so I think its fine. But then the screen resolution keeps changing and it doesn't get anywhere.
Next problem:I ask my friend who has warcraft 3 on Linux. He says you don't have the right drivers. I go to System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers and as he said the applet said: "No proprietary drivers installed". My friend says to check the Video graphics card. But I don't see where i can find what model it is. My computer is Compaq presario CQ60 with the default video/graphics cards. I know nothing about drivers, If I can't find a solution ill probably reformat my computer to Windows 7.
The web cam on my Dell Inspiron mini 10 doesn't work properly. Cheese only takes very dark pictures but no video and the main screen stays dark all the time. Skype transmits a very dark image, too. How can that be tweaked.

It seems that I have been running Firefox unbeknownst to me with a broken configuration. It seems that if I enable the Quote: Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above in Edit->Preferences->Content->Fonts&Colors->Advanced, pages will no longer be render properly -- they are mostly blank.When running on the command line, I notice that I get errors from Pango (whatever that is) and think there may be a connection.
I tried doing sudo aptitude reinstall libpango-perl libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common libpangomm-1.4-1 but it didn't fix the problems. (I haven't yet tried uninstalling pango since it looks like it removes some crucial components.)I also tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and it didn't help.I'm guessing that the fonts cannot be scaled.This otherwise wouldn't be an issue, but it seems that some Firefox addons forcibly ignore the configured fonts and those pop-up windows are mostly blank/empty and therefore useless.
I have an Apple iBook (ancient I know) and whenever I boot from the Live CD (Kubuntu 10.10) it boots up in 800x600 (as far as I can tell that's what it is). This would be a problem however it simplely leaves a huge black column on the right side and has a partially duplicated desktop below it.
When I go to display settings it won't let me change to a higher resolution (1024x768 is what the iBook natively runs at).
This is an iBook G3.
Im on an inspiron 5100 laptop and i wanted to try out the new GNOME shell and every time i launch it it takes a long time then does not display correctly at all. forcing me to restart.
