PC wont shutdown after downloading

Post by Digidoom »

Hi,

I upgraded to this version last week but this is the second time
that computer was still running when I woke up.
I did not have this issue with prior version. (0.38 I believe)
I selected shutdown, refreshed page and it stayed checked.
BUG?

There have been some reports from other people.
So far, we don't have a clue.
In our tests, it never fails.

Check the logging. Does SAbnzbd log that it wants to shutdown?
We have seen cases where the shutdown of Windows does not work
due to some Windows problem.

It doesnt seem to remember the settings.
Also when I change the download que it does not work.
It keeps changing back to original que.
I did not have this problem with the prior version so I dont think
it is a windows vista problem?

I am trying to change que too.
I clicked pause, changed the download que, download 3 to 0 for example,
pressed resume again and it jumped right back to original settings.
Any thought on this?

Not sure what you mean by "que".
There's no need to pause. Just set the end-of-queue box on the Queue page to "shutdown".
If the UI acts funny, try to clear the browser cache (Control-F5 for Firefox).

Which skin are you using (Default, Smpl or Plush) ?

He is talking about a separate issue now, saying he cannot change the order of items in the queue.

Make sure you have javascript enabled.

Yes, the que or the order in the list.
When I change that and press resume (I start sabnzbd in PAUSED)
it jumps right back to original order.
Java is enabled. I did not have this problem with 0.34 or 0.38.
Same Firefox, just updated sabnzbd.
I will try to unintstall sabnzbd and try the older version again
to see if it still works there.
I think changing the order in te list and checking the shutdown option are related ?

Are you sure you don't have the auto-sort option on in Config->Switches?

Yes, I am sure.
I now know it is Firefox that is blocking the program.
In IE7 I dont have any problems.
Switching the que list 0, 1, 2 immediately changes order.
I will try if the shutdown option works in IE later.
I checked Firefox 3 again but java IS enabled.
Any other option I am missing here ?


lol, after going through about:config i found the problem
It is called NO SCRIPT !
It was the plugin that was interferring.

Now all works well again. :-)
Boy, suddenly I feel dumb...

Heh, I had thought about asking if you had noscript, but decided you wouldn't be running it :) Glad you got the issue sorted.
