Can not start X when the laptop boots from battery

Hi,
I have just found out recently that X doesn't start when i boot my laptop from battery. After the daemons are run, X is started and then shows me a blank black screen. Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace don't work. And i can't change tty like Ctrl-Alt-F1 to escape to the console. It just hangs.
When power cable is plugged then the laptop works just fine. Even if i pull the cable out afterwards, it continues working on battery mode.
What can be the reason ? Has anyone the same problem ?

  • No license when the laptop is in battery operation

    Hello
    I have got a problem with the new license since LabVIEW 8.0. I activated the license when the laptop was in mains operation. When I try to start LabVIEW when the laptop is in battery operation, there is an error because of changed hardware. When I put in the power cord and restart LabVIEW, LabVIEW starts normally. Does anybody else know this problem? How can i start LabVIEW when there is no power outlet?
    My laptop is from HP, the model Compaq nc8430. The processor is an Intel Centrino Duo.
    Thanks
    shb
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello
    The reason you are receiving this message is that the computer ID used to
    generate an activation code for LabVIEW is based, in part, on your ethernet
    card's MAC address. It sounds like when you change to battery mode that Windows
    is reporting a different MAC address to the license manager.
    I can generate a computer ID for you based on your hard drive's disk volume
    serial number which you could use to activate LabVIEW again. This would prevent
    this issue happening again in the future (well at least until you changed your
    hard drive but I guess you'd be reinstalling LabVIEW at that point anyway).
    In order to get that computer ID to you I need to know what your Volume Serial
    Number is, this is how to get that:
    1. Open a command prompt. Go to Start»Run
    2. Type "cmd" (without the quotes) and click OK
    3. At the command prompt, type "C:" (without the quotes) to change
    the active directory to your C: drive
    4. Type "vol" (without the quotes) to get your Volume Serial Number.
    Once I get that from you with your Labview Development System (Base, Full,
    Professional). I will reply with a computer ID number you can use to activate
    LabVIEW at http://ni.com/activate/

  • TS1717 itunes will not start automatically when the phone is plugged in

    My iTunes will not start on my pc when I plug the phone in and the box to check is greyed out

    iTunes=10.6.1.7
    Windows 7 OS
    iphone 4S=5.1.1
    When I plug the device in it is recognized by the PC, and if I start iTunes is finds it and I can do all functions.
    It seems to me that I used to be able to auto-start iTunes when I first installed it, but now I am not sure if this problem is because I changed phones from a 3g to the 4s....
    I don't know enough about it to try anything......................

  • DefaultCellEditor in JTable can not update itself when the value changes

    Hi,
    I have a JTable which has 4 columns. The 3rd column has a comboBox. whenever I select an item from the first row, the cell at (currentrow, 4thcolumn) will be updated according to the item selected.
    Now the problem is, after selecting the item in any cell with 3rd column, the row is updated correctly, but then all comboBox in column 3 are gone! I cannot figure out what causes this. Please help! Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
    Jing

    Thanks! Could you give more details on how to use the second approach?
    I have a table with two columns, one called ID and the other called Value. I'm using JComboBox for the Value column. Whenever I select an item from the comboBox, I want the value in the cell under the ID column to change value to the value selected in the comboBox.
    The problem I'm having now is although I can change the value in the comboBox and which triggers the event to change the value under the ID column, when I click the comboBox of another row, the cell under ID of the previous row changed also, before the value under ID of the current selected row.
    I think the problem is there is no distinct comboBox for each row of the table. Seems like when one box change and trigger an event, that event performed in every other rows in the table.
    Following is the code:
    public class Test extends JPanel{
         DefaultTableModel tm;
         JTable table;
         JScrollPane nscrollPane;
         public int total=4;
         public Vector datavec, thvec;
         public Test(Vector datavec, Vector thvec){
              this.datavec=datavec;
              this.thvec=thvec;
         tm = new DefaultTableModel(datavec,thvec);
              table = new JTable(tm);
              table.addMouseListener(new PopupListener(table));
    // table.addMouseListener(new PopupListener(table));
    //tm.setTableHeader(table.getTableHeader()); //ADDED THIS
    int height = table.getRowHeight()*table.getRowCount();
    table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(500, height));
    //Create the scroll pane and add the table to it.
    nscrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
    setUpNNColumn(table, table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1));
    //Add the scroll pane to this panel.
    add(nscrollPane);
    public void updateLabel(Integer size)
         int r=table.getSelectedRow();
         if(r!=-1)
         ((Vector)datavec.elementAt(r)).setElementAt(size, 0);
         repaint();
    public void setUpNNColumn(JTable table, TableColumn nnColumn) {
              //Set up the editor for the sport cells
              JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox();
              comboBox.addActionListener(new ComboBoxListener());
              int num=total/2;
              for(int i=0; i<2; i++){
                   comboBox.addItem(new Integer(num*(i+1)));
              comboBox.setSelectedIndex(1);
              nnColumn.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox));
    private class ComboBoxListener implements ActionListener{
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
              JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)e.getSource();
    Integer size = (Integer)cb.getSelectedItem();
         updateLabel(size);
    private static void createAndShowGUI(Vector a, Vector b) {
    \ JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    //Create and set up the window.
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Nearest Neighbor Fact Table");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    //Create and set up the content pane.
    Test newContentPane = new Test(a, b);
    newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
    frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
    //Display the window.
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         int patidx, hitnum=2;
         Vector a=new Vector();
         Vector a1=new Vector();
         Vector a2=new Vector();
         a1.add(new Integer(1));
         a1.add(new Integer(4));
         a.add(a1);
         a2.add(new Integer(2));
         a2.add(new Integer(4));
         a.add(a2);
         Vector b=new Vector();
         b.add("ID");
         b.add("Value");
         //StatTableGUI.createAndShowGUI(gd);
         Test.createAndShowGUI(a,b);
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    The error message isn't very helpful, it says

    Does anyone who has some idea about this situation?
    Thanks in advance!

    HI,Juan Reyes 
      Thank you very much for your directions. I check the std_dispatcher.out, and found the following error:
    --- Unicode interface -
    End of message -
    Could not open libsapu16vc71.dll [nlsui0.c 2458] pid = 2184
    Could not open libsapu16vc71.dll [nlsui0.c 2458] pid = 2184

    So I copy one libsapu16vc71.dll to the \usr\sap\sid\JC01\j2ee\os_libs, and the dispatcher started successfully.

  • I put pictures on  my iphone when i first got it and i can not see them when i look for them now

    I need to get ride of photos that are on my phone but I can not find them when the phone is hooked up. How can I find them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

    After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • When i plug in my Ipod i get a strange message "this device can not be used because the apple mobile device service is not started."

    What does "This ipod can not be used because the apple mobile device service is not started" mean.  After I updated my Itunes I get this message when I plug in my Ipod and it doesn't come up in Itunes.

    If you are using Windows 7, go to:
    Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features
    Look for a program called 'Apple Mobile Device Support'
    Right-click on it
    Click 'repair'
    Wait until the repair operation is complete, and voila, your problem should be solved, itunes will recognise your iphone/ipod once more. This worked for me.

    Hello, bradhannan.
    This sounds like a possible permissions issue.  Try these steps.  Uninstall iTunes and all of it's components.  Next, download the newest version of iTunes and save it to your desktop rather than selecting run.  Right click on the installer package and run as administrator.  I have included a couple articles that covers how to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components.
