praveenmarkandu Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 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.

praveenmarkandu Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 this time happened without azureus... this seems a pretty serious problem... sounds stupid, but i will try not closing the lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hmm.. have you tried this already? https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...&hl=suspend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praveenmarkandu Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 i dont really want to suspend or sleep anything. cause i want to keep processing and downloading in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praveenmarkandu Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 is there away to keep this suspend turned off? or is it hardcoded into the OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 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 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 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 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Did stopping this service sort all your probs out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
