I have installed tlp using the following commands
sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw
and sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-dkms
in ubuntu 14.04. But after that , I can't shutdown or restart my pc. Whenever I try to shutdown/restart it hangs in a black screen with a static cursor in the top left corner.
I have to shutdown holding the power button.
I have removed the above softwares using apt-get remove --purge , but the problem still remains. Any help ?
Edit: Here are some logs from my PC the time it was shutting down http://pastebin.com/anhg0rtz
Edit2: I uninstalled bbswitch-dkms , now the pc goes to blank screen , I then set nomodeset in /etc/default/grub , now in the login loop . But the shutdown works now ..
Edit3: Well , Finally I was able to work it again. The problem was I think after installing sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-dkms
somehow bbswitch-dkms got installed. Which in turn broke the nvidia propriety driver. So What worked for me was
- Removing everything installed
- Purging and reinstalling the nvidia driver.
I don't know if not removing tlp , instead just purge and reinstall nvidia driver would work. If someone have knowledge please let me know.
