hirohitosan Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hello. When I shut down my computer a lot of messages appear about shutting down different services. I saw for example that Stopping NFS locking: [FAILED] It means something important or not? Also there are some other long messages that I have no time to read. There is log file or something with this messages on halting the system? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 check what services are active in your system when your dekstop loads... then disable thus you dont need to. open a konsole then as root: chkconfig --list | grep 5:on or just go directly to this to disable thus not necessarily have to run drakxservices if you dont use nfs, then you can disable the ff: nfs nfslock portmap if you dont need an mta - (mail transfer agent), then disable posfix if you dont serve as a samba server then disable smb if you dont use snmp, then disable snmp you can also disable lisa - or click the info button on the drakxservices gui to know that particular service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohitosan Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I found another service: "laptop-mode" which gives me error when I shut down the computer. On the info: Starts and stops "laptop-mode" - tweaks system behavior to extent battery life I don't know if I need this. I don't know exactly what he's doing.

aioshin Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) you might have kpowersave or its equivalent if in gnome, try to disable that if you do have.. check also the power management options Edited August 16, 2006 by aioshin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Laptop mode is a service that extends the life of your battery, etc, for laptops. The errors are nothing to worry about, because they are relating to your CD drive and not your hard disk. Normally /dev/hdc. So, you can disable it, but expect your battery not to last as long.
