Hi there. |
| 2 |
My new laptop (Toshiba A70) is seriously weirding me out. |
| 3 |
It seems to be turning off (randomly?) while in KDE. I cannot |
| 4 |
distinguish any patterns uptime-wise, nor is it an actual power |
| 5 |
failure. (Nothing else dies, battery prescence is confirmed with |
| 6 |
hardware lighting, and this lighting indicates a full charge. |
| 7 |
I also see no real connections between what I am doing when |
| 8 |
the computer turns off. Once, I was browsing the web in Firefox, |
| 9 |
and tonight, I was playing around with the XScreensaver settings. |
| 10 |
I have noticed, that it seems to only happen while in KDE, although |
| 11 |
Im not 100% sure. Also, I have the KDE laptop battery monitor set |
| 12 |
to do *nothing* if the battery should reach a warning or critical |
| 13 |
power value. This has happened to be about 6 times over the last |
| 14 |
few days. I also just got KDE emerged, so I can say its been happening |
| 15 |
probably since it has been up. I have left it on for extended amounts |
| 16 |
of time in the regular CLI though, without any problems. |
| 17 |
I can't really think of anything else to say, but I should mention that |
| 18 |
it **seems** to do a safe shutdown, but Im not sure. The power is |
| 19 |
cut rather instantly, and I am not swished off into a system reboot |
| 20 |
message. When I start it up again, ReiserFS claims the file system is |
| 21 |
clean, and goes on to replay the journal as usual. Do any of |
| 22 |
you have any thoughts on this? Thanks a lot! |
