[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --list netplugd netplugd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off its alredy not running

i am really confused. it now crashes less frequently, when i leave the computer for long periods of time. sometimes when i go to sleep. my laptop is pretty much on 24/7. at first i thought it was a heat problem as i switched of ACPI and Laptop Mode but then i raised the laptop to give it extra airflow. these are the last few lines of my log. please help. TIA

another tool if u choose to use it is Gparter. its a non distructive NTFS resizer that runs on Linux, and is on a Live Boot CD. uses gnome interface. very handy

standard mac background

what a simple solution, laptop-mode solved it. thank you ALL! [solved]

something new i found out: by doing what i did above(commenting the action) i lost the ability to log out after i logged into an account. so i did away with the commenting and now im just stopped using laptop-mode

i did some searching through mandrivaclub forum...which is not that great a forum but found someones "solution" went into /etc/acpi/events/lm_lid.txt which was this event=button[ /]lid action=/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh %e and commented the action by putting # infront of it. AND IT WORKS! no more hanging. however, my wireless dies after awhile when i close the lid. so im going to try to stop the laptop service and see what happens then.

is there away to keep this suspend turned off? or is it hardcoded into the OS?

i dont really want to suspend or sleep anything. cause i want to keep processing and downloading in the background.

this time happened without azureus... this seems a pretty serious problem... sounds stupid, but i will try not closing the lid

this was exactly what happened. was running kopete and azureus. closed the lid.went away... and it hung Aug 6 21:53:12 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x01 { Error } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } Aug 6 21:53:13 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec please help me

thanks ianw1974 .....this deserves a [solved]

more problems strike me. this has been going on for awhile. mandriva hangs.... and it does it when im not around at my computer. i close my laptop lid and walk away and when i come back maybe an hour or so later it would have hung.... or it could be a few hours. im not an expert but i was thinking it would have to do with my Laptop battery monitor that doesnt work (cause it doesnt tell me when i have no battery left) or maybe azureus. mandriva generates a crash file... but how do i read it? please advise.
