What happened to the "Do nothing" option for "When the suspend button is pressed" in Lynx? It would also be useful to have a "Do nothing" option for "When the power button is pressed".
View 2 RepliesI have a dell zino inspiron media pc with Ubuntu 10.04 installed. I am able to shutdown using the power button on machine i.e. System->Preferences->Power Management option 'when power button is pressed': choose 'Shutdown'.But for option 'when suspend button is pressed', I only get 'Suspend' or 'Hibernate' in the drop-down. Where is my 'Shutdown' option?I really want to be able to shutdown my machine from my wireless keyboard!
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot, apparently any Linux (Ubuntu and CloneZilla), I see the letters Code: ^]]B scroll pass, over and over again. This represents the down key as when I try to do anything the down key is held down. This occurs during boot on Ubuntu (once I get to the login screen it stops and does not happen). This does not happen at the GRUB screen or in Windows. It also occurs during the entire CloneZilla process and Ubuntu alternative install process (making both of these impossible)
I can't find any reason for this to happen and have been using both CloneZilla and Ubuntu for a long time before this happened. Does anyone know what I could try to fix this.
Ubuntu no longer boots.
A friend of mine has an old emachines with XP on it and at first it would complain it had to test the disk and turn off in less then a minute. Now it won't do anything except run the power supply and cpu fans while the start button is pressed. I checked for power on the blue , purple ,red and orange wires while 14 and 15 were jumped on the power supply. There are no lEDs on the board and no beeps. I disconnected all the peripherals also

When I press the power button, I see a dialogue box which asks for confirmation and if nothing is confirmed system automatically shuts down in 60 seconds.
I want to change this time of 60 seconds to say 30 seconds. Is it possible? Also is there a way to hide that dialogue box...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 (Wireless Keyboard 3000 + Wireless Mouse 5000), actually, I have two of them, one in this computer, running Ubuntu 10.10 and another one in a box running Ubuntu 10.04.In the box running 10.04 I can perfectly use 70% of the hotkeys the keyboard has, the 30% left I guess they're not compatible, but that's not a problem.In the one running 10.10 whenever I use a hotkey,t works, but,sametimet "blocks" the mouse left button in the 'pressed' state. Let me be more clear, it's like I'm holding down the left click all the time and I don't ever release it. Unless I restart the system, I can't recover the left click.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter a lot of updates yesterday I have found that Lucid will no longer boot, I just get a blank screen that has a cursor flashing in the top left corner. I can't boot into recovery mode to see what the issue(s) might be because I took that option out when I ran update-grub.My question is this, is there a way to run update-grub -either from a live-cd or grub-rescue mode- that would put the recovery boot option back in? I have already edited the /etc/default/grub file to comment out the field.

I recently installed 10.04 LTS and I have no option to suspend my desktop. I have always had the option before. I have Ubuntu installed on two other machines that can all suspend. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be hardware or would a re-install fix the issue?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with the suspend button (fn+f5) on my hp pavilion dv2000 laptop. It is working but only after an intervention. So, every I boot up my system the short-cut/button is not functioning. In order to make it work I have to open the Power Management Preferences and close them. I don't even need to change anything there. Now the button will be working just fine until the next restart. It's pretty annoying to visit the Power Management after each restart, isn't it. Any ideas how could I fix this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe other day somebody sat next to me whom I don't feel like entering in my password around, and I wanted to take my computer elsewhere. If I put my computer in my backpack while it's running, my computer will get hot, and the batteries will drain. So I'd like to put my computer in hibernate, or suspend mode, but my computer was already locked, and I couldn't hibernate or suspend without logging in, but I didn't want to enter my password around this guy so I could hibernate or suspend, so I was stuck.
I know there are reasons to keep things the way they are, (like maybe a server environment, etc...) and maybe it should default the way it is now, but I'd like the option to add the ability to hibernate and/or suspend when logged out, at the log in screen and/or a locked screen, without having to use a password.

I recently converted an ageing Toshiba 2410-303 laptop (Intel 1.7 GHz, 512 MB, 28 GB HD) from Windows XP to Xubuntu. Everything was running fine & dandy until yesterday I had the (unfortunate it seems) idea to use the "Suspend" button at the end of a working session (until that day I had only used "shut down" or "restart" (the anglosaxon words may be different since I run a dutch language version)). Anyway, my laptop immediately went into the standby/suspend modus and several hours later I was unable to resume normal operation with the usual mouse movement or enter key. Nothing happened.
I've tried the following:
- press the power button for 2 sec, result: the ventilator starts up, I hear the HD spinning and the power led starts blinking orange (the Toshiba manual tells me this means the laptop is in standby) and I hear a regular system beep. But ... Xubuntu does not start at all. If I continue pressing the power button, the laptop shuts down completely.
- I removed the battery temporarily, reinserted it and repeated the above procedure but still ... no luck.
I cannot open the cd tray, so reinstalling is not an option either.
I have tried various other key combinations such as ctrl+alt+del etc. but to no avail. It seems that I'm stuck with a useless laptop now.
I'm reasonably convinced my laptop is not dead yet but it cannot be approached for the time being.
I am a newbie in Linux. Recently installed Mandriva 2010 KDE 4 in my system.Now, when we right click in windows XP window, we can see the "Refresh" option (which on clicking will refresh the page or window). But this facility is not there by default in Linux.
So, I wonder if anyone of you can please help me with that problem
If I suspend this toshiba satellite, and the battery is or gets low it will wake from suspend to tell me that it will need to suspend due to a critical low battery. Which is pretty dumb. I've experimented with this by plugging and unplugging the ac adapter.
