Have you checked your power source, how old is the battery?

My laptop is plugged into a power strip. The TV is plugged in there, too. But the TV doesn't shut off randomly. But my laptop still randomly shuts off every hour or more. The laptop turns off and restarts itself, while it is plugged in. |
By shutting off, do you mean an actual reboot/shutdown, where it closes all your programs logs you out then turns off the power, or do you mean it just stops - screen goes blank, lights go out, no warning or shut-down sequence at all?
If the latter then it's probably your laptops power source, it might not be the power strip it's plugged into but something on the laptops side of things, or the power cord, or the AC adapter. |
Perhaps check the power settings in Ubuntu? I remember it had settings for power saving after a certain amount of time.

Some laptops (Toshiba, especially) don't properly control the fan(s) under Linux, and this can lead to spontaneous shutdown due to overheating.

It turns totally off in about two seconds or less. So it's not a proper reboot. It does reboot. So it might be a laptop or power cord problem, like you are saying. Quote:

Are there Ubuntu PC-temperature-programs I could get ? |
lm_sensors worked for me, but I am using Fedora. tell us if
Code:
sudo apt-get install lm_sensors |

For you, using ubuntu, it will be "lm-sensors" and not "lm_sensors" (Note the underscore). After you install it, run the following:
Code:
sudo sensors-detect Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart Cheers, Josh |

Unless I am completely misreading this, your last post just has the output of the last command to run. Are you having issues?

I think it just wants you to do (as root, probably):
Code:
service module-init-tools restart |
