How To Shutdown X Server?

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?

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

Regards

Is it possible to do a remote shutdown on a windows pc from a suse server and if so how?

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...

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.

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

Hey guys. So I just went out and bought a Sager 8268-s (clevo p150sm-a) With an i7 4910mq and a Nvidia 980m gt. As I am a computer tech by trade, every time i see Windows i get horrible PTSD so i decided to try Linux instead. After many hours of trying to get a dual boot working finally got Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon installed on my computer, but when I went to install the Nvidia driver it landed me in fallback mode which I could not escape. So then I tried Ubuntu 14.04 LTS thinking maybe Mint was incompatible with the driver and the same thing happened.

So here is my method:

(sorry i don't know how to make a code box :/ )

First I log in to get root access:

$ su

Then I Update the xorg:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

Then update my system:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then i go into Virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and disable the display manager:

$ sudo service mdm (or lightdm for Ubuntu) stop

Then i install the drivers which i have done multiple ways:

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

or

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-343 nvidia-settings

or by downloading the driver from Nvidia (first designating the file as executable)

$ sudo sh nvidia.run && sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

Then after install, I create the config file:

$ sudo nvidia-xconfig

Then I reboot. After I get the low res mode in Ubuntu or fallback mode in Mint and Driver manager doesn't detect any proprietary drivers and I have to reinstall to get the OS working again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
This has never happened before. My system has been stuck while shutting down for almost 6 hours now. After clicking the shutdown button, the top bar and bottom bar on the screen disappeared and now all i can see is my wallpaper, the computer icon and my pointer, cant move anything. What can I do to avoid doing a hard shutdown?

Hi everybody!

I have visited this forum a lot in the last years to learn information about Linux, so above all thank you very much to the linuxquestions.org community for building this valuable resource!

Now my question:

I have a brand new Nvidia GTX750 graphics card. Nouveau does not work correctly with this card (very low resolution and red dots all around the screen appear), so I need to install propietary drivers.

I have coped with this when installing distros in my hard drive, I just install the propietary drivers following the reccomended user guidelines and that's all, but I'm now starting to work with Tails (amnesic Linux distribution) and 'unfortunately' as it's an amnesic system I'll have to install them everytime I boot.

I was wondering if there's a way to install them permanently on my Live CD/USB so I am ready to work as soon as I boot. I have not really any clue on how a LiveUSB is composed, and as far as I have searched on the Internet I have not found any information about this matter.

Sorry for the bad grammatics, I have a pretty bad level of English

TL;DR: How can I permanently install Nvidia propietary drivers on an amnesic Linux Live CD/USB?

Hi,
These NVIDIA products are real nightmares. I recently downloaded a copy a sabayon linux for my desktop.
The live dvd booted with the following error message throughout the screen

However after a long time it started up properly. After installing the os I found that the problem still persists. Firtsly it took about 10 mins or so to boot. And then apart from terminal 7 (which is the graphical terminal) all other terminals shows the above output. It seems like it has fallen through an infinite loop. I tried downloading some drivers from the nvidia site but simply could not install them because it mandates the X to stop working. If I do so I won't be able to install it from other terminals.

I have attached the output of "dmesg".
Any help is appreciated.
