[Bug 762203] Re: Computer is not turned off at shutdown

2011-09-30 Thread Bruce Hohl
Update regarding Lenovo B575 AND Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 using kernel 3.0.0-11
With x86_64 (64 bit) version shutdown fails.
With i686 (32 bit) version shutdown and suspend WORKS !!!

So the problem (at least on the B575) is related to some difference
between the 64 and 32 bit Ubuntu versions.  (I would just use the 64 bit
version but I also want to use KVM.)

Perhaps a few others can check the 64 bit versus 32 bit versions on
their systems and report back.  I checked the 32 bit version by using a
bootable USB prepared with the "Startup Disk Creator".

[Bug 762203] Re: Computer is not turned off at shutdown

2011-09-27 Thread Bruce Hohl
For the Lenova B575 this problem also occurs with Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2
using kernel 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64.  Booting with live CD is OK except
that grub menu is unreadable (like with 11.04).  Upon shutdown the
computer continues apparently without error until the message: "Please
remove installation media and close the try then press ENTER:"

At this point it is possible to switch among the virtual terminals but
no virtual terminal is responsive.  Once enter is pressed the system
becomes totally unresponsive and does NOT poweroff.

rajeshkunnoth, this is your post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1754383

I have been collecting my various attempts to solve this problem in this post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1838460&highlight=poweroff

A variety of different solutions have worked for many yet many others
can find no solution.  Is there no way other than trial & error to
trouble shoot this problem?  It seems like there should be some way to
determine what blocks a computer from carrying out a power off command!
For many of us this also makes it impossible to use Suspend and
Hibernate.  This is a significant annoyance for laptop users.

[Bug 615077] Re: [Maverick] SDL local window broken in last update

2010-11-10 Thread Bruce Hohl
This is in reference to comments made for bug 643583 which was marked as
a duplicate of this bug:

(1) libvirt + sdl does work if the lxdm is used as lxdm writes
.Xauthority into the users home directory as expected by libvirt.

(2) A script like the following run with sudo might provide a work-
around if gdm is used.  Might be possible to add to "System >
Preferences > Startup Applications" with some permissions adjustments.

xauth_virt_sudo.sh
   #!/bin/sh
   # Create .Xauthority link for libvirt 0.8.3 on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10
   user=admin1
   auth=`exec ls /var/run/gdm | grep auth-for-$user`
   if [ -h "/home/$user/.Xauthority" ]
   then rm /home/$user/.Xauthority
   fi
   ln -s /var/run/gdm/$auth/database /home/$user/.Xauthority
