Mandriva Hanging [solved]

[praveenmarkandu]

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.

 

TIA

Have a look at /var/log/messages for errors

[arctic]

Check there e.g. for ACPI errors.

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

[arctic]

Hmm.. have you tried this already? https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...&hl=suspend

[praveenmarkandu]

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

[ianw1974]

I would suggest not closing the lid. When you do this, you initiate suspend. So if you want it to continue processing, leave it open.

[praveenmarkandu]

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

[ianw1974]

You could disable the laptop-mode service to see if this stops it. Do:

 

service laptop-mode stop

 

and then close the lid. If it's still doing it go into System/Configuration/Configure Your Desktop/Power or something like that, and make sure the options aren't enabled here. Chances are they are not, because normally you need to enable them.

 

It could however be the laptop-mode service, otherwise it's your BIOS that's doing it all.

[praveenmarkandu]

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.

[praveenmarkandu]

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

[ianw1974]

Did stopping this service sort all your probs out?

[praveenmarkandu]
