Kali Linux 1.1.0 Debian Stuck At Shutting Down.

Hi,

I am new to the Ubuntu OS and really enjoying it but currently have an issue with my Acer Aspire ES1 512 laptop with regards to getting the machine to completely shutdown or restart.

It is not a dual boot setup, 100 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install but when I attempt to press the "Shutdown" option at the top right, it looks like the machine is shutting down, shows the Ubuntu logo with dots but does not physically turn off the machine.

At the moment, I have to physically press and hold the power button.

FYI, I have also tried sudo shutdown -h now

Any ides/help would be great as it's the only issue I am currently experiencing.

Thanks.

I have been using an old computer to download my torrents and this has been my usual routine:

1. Press the power button.
2. Connect to the computer through Putty
3. Log in
4. Gain su privileges

Startup Commands:
Code:

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
apt-get update
mount -t ext4 /dev/vgTransmission/lvTransmission /mnt/transmissionVault
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start

Shutdown Commands:
Code:

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
umount /dev/vgTransmission/lvTransmission
shutdown -h now

I was wondering if there is a way to configure a computer to automatically mount a logical volume “before” the transmission-daemon starts at boot up (note my first Startup Command).

I think the instructions here are related to what I want to do, but I want to get some advice before I attempt to do anything dangerous:

My perfect scenario would be:

Startup Routine:
1. Send WakeOnLan magic packet to computer to turn it on.
2. Computer boots up, mounts the transmissionVault logical volume
3. Wait 10 seconds to ensure that the logical volume has finished mounting
4. Start transmission-daemon

Shutdown Routine:
Send WakeOnLan magic packet to turn off computer, i.e.: Execute “shutdown -h now”
The shutdown command should include:
1. Stop transmission-daemon
2. Wait 10 seconds to ensure that transmission-daemon has finished shutting down
3. Umount transmissionVault logical volume




Recently the Ethernet port of my transmission box has stopped working, so I went ahead and swapped the motherboard with another old motherboard, added a few hard drives, installed a fresh copy of Debian, and re-created the LVM logical volume for transmissionVault. I pretty much have a fairly stock system running at the moment.

Dear Friends,

I am new to scripting. I want a help on script to schedule the shutdown and start up . I am using SUSE Linux system. Can some one guide me please

every night shutdown at 7pm & start it at 7am the next day during the weekdays. On the weekends, the server only needs to restart at 7am on Mondays.

Looking forward for help

Thank you

how to shutdown linux system as regular user using command line?

Hi,
This may be silly but (paranoid as I am) I do find this strange, my laptop (Xubuntu) had an update earlier, and as I wanted to shutdown, the system wanted an authentication, I hit cancel and the system logged me out, I logged back in and did not have to authenticate anymore to shutdown...glitch or..."trouble"?
Thanks
Thor
PS - I ran RKhunter and it found nothing...

OK, I fixed the issue with the download. I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon "Rebecca" 17.1 on the computer. It said it was installed successfully, but when I rebooted all I got was a black screen with the cursor stuck in the upper left corner of the screen. I let it sit for a long time (maybe 45 minutes), did a control alt delete but nothing happened. I had to shut down the computer manually.

Hi,
Im running a dual boot of kali linux 1.1.0 on a mid 2009 macbook pro.
I first opened terminal, navigated to file using #cd /usr/share/wordlists
Then after finding the file, extracted it using #gzip -d rockyou.txt.gz
Navigated to file in filesystem,Double clicked it and 90% into loading rocky.txt from /usr/share/wordlists, the computer freezes and i can not do anything at all. I do not want to revert to doing a hard shutdown. Although I already have and after going through those steps again I get the same result.

I would 1st like to know if anyone knows why this is happening and what i can do to fix this issue? As well as, what I can do in general if my computer ever freezes up. Thank You.

Kali on VMware resets after reboot or shutdown and never saves any changes: no new downloads, files, no changes at all

An answer was posted for linuxmint 11 but,in mint 17 the advanced option does not exist in accessories menu. It also is not in apps/nautilus/desktop via gconf-editor all options are checked here but still no trashcan?
Right click does show "Move to Trash" option but I want trashcan icon on desktop for simple drag and drop. It was around in Linux mint 17 but not in 17.1?

If I do a
shutdown -r 03:15 &
will this only broadcast the shutdown warning messages to people logged into the server directly, or will this also warn users who are connected to samba shares on this server?
