Steam Shutdown After Download Complete WORK
Kimbra Koran
I'm sure i'm the the only one who will download large games during the night. I do this all the time, but I also don't want my computer running all night. Is there any way to auto-shutdown my PC after steam finished downloading the game queue?
If i am not completely wrong, downloaded games are not deleted when uninstalling steam.
So, as long as you stick with the default library path, steam will always find the library at first startup; in case you added a custom path, you just add this library path to your freshly installed client and the games are available.
Each year Facilities conducts a one-day complete steam system shutdown to safely perform necessary and routine maintenance. See below for details and impacts from the steam shutdown on June 1 (Thursday after Commencement), including limited hot water and cooler temperatures in some areas.
We recommend you have a sweater or jacket on hand Thursday, June 1 to stay comfortable with possible cooler inside temperatures. Since steam will not be available to re-heat cool, dehumidified air, a particularly humid day can cause even cooler inside air temperatures. Our annual steam shutdown happens the Thursday following commencement every year to minimize the impact on our campus community. Thank you for your cooperation and we apologize for any inconvenience this maintenance may cause.
The error occurs after I quit the game when running through steam, regardless of whether quitting the game from the main menu, or force quitting in task manager. After I quit, Steam still says it is running, even though no tasks related to the game are running in task manager.
Central Plant steam and chilled water will not be available during this shutdown. This means that there will be no building heating or cooling available anywhere on campus. Domestic hot water will be impacted in certain buildings as well.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause building occupants. Steam shutdown week provides Facility Services with a small window of time to perform steam and chilled water distribution repairs and maintenance on systems that otherwise operate continuously throughout the year.
This shutdown is necessary to facilitate needed repairs and maintenance to the campus steam system that cannot be performed during normal operations. Maintenance activities will be performed in mechanical spaces and will not be visible to most staff and visitors.
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is a permanently closed nuclear power plant located south of San Clemente, California, on the Pacific coast, in Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region IV. The plant was shut down in 2013 after defects were found in replacement steam generators; it is currently in the process of decommissioning. The 2.2 GW of electricity supply lost when the plant shut down was replaced with 1.8 GW of new natural-gas fired power plants and 250 MW of energy storage projects.[6]
The plant's first unit, Unit 1, operated from 1968 to 1992.[7] Unit 2 was started in 1983 and Unit 3 started in 1984. Upgrades designed to last 20 years were made to the reactor units in 2009 and 2010; however, both reactors were shut down in January 2012 after premature wear was found on more than 3,000 tubes in replacement steam generators that had been installed in 2010 and 2011. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission investigated the events that led to the closure. In May 2013, Senator Barbara Boxer, the then-chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the modifications had proved to be "unsafe and posed a danger to the eight million people living within 50 miles of the plant," and she called for a criminal investigation.[8]
In a ten-year project completed in 2011 and costing $671 million, Edison replaced the steam generators in both reactors with Mitsubishi steam generators of the modified design. Because of the reactors' two-loop design, uncommon for such large reactors of that era, the steam generators were among the largest in the industry.[14] A common shortcoming of these large steam generators was tube wear, requiring replacement earlier than their 40-year design life.[14] The steam generators being the largest components in the reactor required a temporary hole through the concrete containment shell. The Unit 2 replacement was completed in 2009 and Unit 3 in 2011. Edison estimated that the modernization would save customers $1 billion during the plant's license period, which at the time ran until 2022.[15][16]
SONGS-1 was a Westinghouse 3-loop pressurized water reactor constructed by Bechtel and rated at 1347 MWthermal . It began commercial operation on January 1, 1968, and ceased operation on November 30, 1992. Defueling was completed on March 6, 1993. On December 28, 1993, NRC approved the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications. On November 3, 1994, SCE submitted a Proposed Decommissioning Plan to place SONGS-1 in SAFSTOR until the shutdown of Units 2 and 3. On December 15, 1998, following a change in NRC decommissioning regulations, SCE submitted a post shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) for SONGS-1, to commence DECON in 2000. SCE actively decommissioned the facility, and most of the structures and equipment have been removed and sent to a disposal facility. The NRC issued a license amendment in February 2010 releasing the off-shore portions of the Unit 1 cooling intake and outlet pipes in place, under the Pacific Ocean seabed, for unrestricted use. The fuel from Unit 1 was transferred to Phase 1 of the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). In 2015, the ISFSI was expanded onto the area previously occupied by Unit 1 in order to store all Unit 2 and Unit 3 spent fuel. SCE completed transferring all of the nuclear fuel to dry storage in 2020.[12]
In July 2012, the NRC's final report identified ten issues that needed followup and stated "the plant will not be permitted to restart until the licensee has developed a plan to prevent further steam generator tube degradation and the NRC independently verifies that it can be operated safely."[59] As of July 2012[update], the cost related to the shutdown had reached $165 million, with $117 million of that being the purchasing of power from other sources to replace the output of the plant.[60] The Chairman of Edison International Ted Craver stated the possibility that reactor 3 might be scrapped as "It is not clear at this time whether Unit 3 will be able to restart without extensive additional repairs".[60]
In December 2013, the NRC cited SONGS for failing to properly check the steam generator design, which had caused the plant shutdown.[71] The finding did not carry any fine or penalty but complicated SCE's legal position that they did nothing wrong. The California Public Utilities Commission was considering whether to order a multimillion-dollar refund to SCE customers.[72]
In May 2013, Senator Barbara Boxer asked that the United States Justice Department investigate possible malfeasance by Edison officials, and released a 2004 letter by an Edison executive that expressed worries that the new steam generators, though similar, would not be "like for like" replacements and could lead to the same kind of potential "disastrous" issues that in fact led to the plant's shutdown in 2012. In making the request for a possible criminal investigation, Boxer stated "This correspondence leads me to believe that Edison intentionally misled the public and regulators in order to avoid a full safety review and public hearing in connection with its redesign of the plant." Edison denied any wrongdoing.[53][75] but reportedly signaled it might shut the plant down for good should the company not be allowed to restart one of the reactors at 70% of capacity.[75]
Facilities has been working with Metropolitan Mechanical (MMC) to develop a plan to repair the steam leaks on Riverside Avenue. After careful consideration, the recommended plan requires two campus-wide steam shutdowns. The first outage, scheduled for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, October 6, will be an inspection to determine where the leak is. The work will be completed during the second shutdown, scheduled for 6 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday, October 13.
The symptoms:
When i launch any Windows game, the small steam window "Preparing to launch XYZ ..." opens and stays (for ever). In htop i see that steam spawns a bunch of windows processes under "reaper". There is nothing that stands out, no process at 100% CPU or so. This stays forever.
What i can do to get at least some "progress" is killing (sigterm) explorer.exe. When doing so, the whole process tree under "reaper" is shutdown and everything is restarted. In the case of apex, there are now two "explorer.exe". At this point steam things that the game is running. Sometimes the game would start (that are the 5% from the first paragraph) - usually nothing happens.
When i now kill the new explorer.exe processes, everything exits and steam says that i've stop playing.
Here are a bunch of screenshots.
I've been waiting for a few days if any other people report something similar (so it might have been a packet problem) but it looks like this something completely local I'm running out of ideas, beside wiping everything steam/gaming related and starting at zero - but this isn't windows ....
You are my last hope, if you need anything else, let me know!
You can use it for a couple of things. First, you can configure uTorrent to quit when all downloads complete. This prevents further sharing. Another option that you have is to configure the program to shut down your entire PC after downloads completes. This is ideal if you need downloads to finish while you need to go to bed, work or school.
