As hwd doesn't work anymore... [SOLVED]

As hwd doesn't work anymore, I have a problem with installing and maintaining Xorg on my Arch machine. I recently reinstalled Archlinux on my desktop machine, and was unaware that Xorg had been updated.
So when I tried to do my normal installation routine of installing all the necessary drivers, xorg and hwd, I ran into a problem. When I ran hwd -u + -xa, it said No X server installed. I searched around and found out that hwd was not supported any longer.
So I figured i'd just do the manual configuration of Xorg. So I ran X -configure, and then ran the server. Everytime I did this, the computer would freeze up upon entering the environment.
So I tried doing nvidia-xconfig, and ended up actually getting into the environment, but after all the xterm windows had popped up, it froze again everytime.
After reading abit articles on the subject, I tried letting Xorg simply use HAL for it's hardware recognization. This time it worked, and I was able to enter the environment with no problem. So I went with this alternative, and installed Openbox.
Now, the problem shows up when I enter the environment. I can clearly see that there's somewhat of a problem with the graphics. So I tried configuring a minimal xorg.conf to run along side HAL. This still didn't fix the problem. The problem is, there are areas of the screen that are SLIGHTLY blurry. For example, if I write something in xterm, then move it to certain parts of the screen, the text becomes mildly blurry. It's not a big problem, just irritating. But this little problem may be an indication of a bigger problem. I'm sensing I don't have 3D capabilities, but haven't tested yet.
Another thing is; When I write something in xterm while in the environment, and I hold down the backspace button... Xorg simply crashes without any particular error.
Anyway, my point is; I had an idea that, is there some way to make hwd recognize the xorg server as a older version, making it configure a file for it? I've never had any problem with xorg up until this new update, which irritates me alot, making me want to find some other distrobution of linux.
I hope someone can help me fix this.

you could roll back your Xorg version to continue using hwd in the meantime...
I'm assuming you've followed http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … _xorg.conf to try without xorg / with minimal xorg. Have you ensured that your drivers are up to date? I would attempt reinstalling video drivers, trying HAL again with NO xorg file, and if that fails, try it with minimal xorg.
Hopefully someone comes along with a more concrete solution...I'm just hoping to steer you down a path of some new ideas (if you havent already tried this...)
I had some trouble with the latest version. Reinstalling video drivers and running with no xorg.conf was the fix...I know you said you tried this same thing, but you havent specified how new your drivers are or anything... Good luck and free bump!

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues. I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck!

[solved] Volume control in amarok doesn't work anymore

Hi,
since today in amarok (2.4.1) the volume control doesn't work anymore. I can change the level on the switch on the top right but it doesn't change the actual volume.
The volume control in my KDE tray works as usual.

I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymore. My computer doesn't want to read it anymore. I want to mention that I also tried on some other computers and still the problems continues. How can I solve this? On the Adobe webpage I can't find anymore the download for Adobe CS4. Thanks.

You can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html and can serialize it with the serial number you have.

Tethering doesn´t work anymore since I updated to IOS 7.1

Since I updated to IOS 7.1 the tethering function doesn´t work anymore on my Iphone 4.
I have recently purchased an IPAD Mini, as the iphone has become so incredibly slow after update to IOS 7.0. I am travelling a lot and use the tethering function to access the internet. And now, after update to IOS 7.1 I can´t even use my IPAD anymore when travelling.
I must say, enough is enough. My patience is at it´s end. A professional company doesn´t work like this !
Apple, please react and get this problem solved.
regards
Richard

What Apple wants from his customers?
1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;
2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;
3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year
and, like me, millions of customers around the world!
and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declsre from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!
If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!
This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!
I'm disgusted
thank you

Internet links doesn't work anymore within my Outlook

My internet links within my Outlook doesn't work anymore when I click on the link (I got a system problem). Anyone who knows what settings I need to do?
Thanks

That being the case, I think the default setting must be corrupted. See here on how to reset: http://www.msoutlook.info/question/706
Or open control panel, go to Default Programs, and then Default settings. Change the file association for Interner Explorer. See if that works

After instaling mavericks terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore

after instaling mavericks the terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore...
What have to do to solve this problem?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

Licensing of my Adobe products "doesn't work anymore"; errorcode 150:30

Is this the technical support of Adobe? If so, I have a question (if not: where and how can I find it?): I use the German version of the Creative Suite 4 on a Mac OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2). After regenerating a Time Machine backup I couldn't open the suite's programs anymore.
The first days an error message kept telling me I needed to install a Java SE 6-Runtime-version, but unfortunately I didn't have Internet so couldn't do anything but wait to get my new internet contract. When I had internet again, a newer Java update (version 1.6.0_43 instead of SE 6; I can't find SE 6 to download, if this should be necessary) obviously was installed automaticly, but instead of the first error message I now always get a window telling me the licensing of the product doesn't work anymore. It tells me to relaunch the computer and if this doesn't solve the problem (which it doesn't), I shall consult the technical support of Adobe and indicate the errorcode 150:30. Can you tell me what do do? Thanks in advance!
Theo

Hi verwirrt,
Error 150:30 usually comes up if you use timeline or any other software to migrate the files from the older Mac to the newer one or in case of licensing issues.
If you have used a migration software to transfer the files then it's not recommended.
Please remove the files and reinstall CS4 from the disk.
Moreover Photoshop CS4 has not been tested on Mac 10.8.2 and you might face compatibility issues.
Further if you have installed the software from the disk and did not transfer the files from the older mac to the new please refer to the steps mentioned in the Kb doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac- os.html
And if you do not have the disk to reinstall the software, then please download from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here. html
But make sure you follow the important instructions on the page before initiating the download.

M-audio fast track pro doesn't work anymore

Today I plugged in my M-Audio Fast Track Pro which worked fine few weeks before, but now it doesn't work anymore. It shows up everywhere fine but I can't play any music. The videos on Youtube can't be played at all when I have selected this soundcard as output. Same every other application like iTunes. I have reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my mac but nothing helped so far. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

I had the same problem (Fast Track Pro + Mavericks 10.9.2 > no output sound).
After trying several combinations, I found out an non logical solution, but it did work
What I did:
1) Download the most recent driver update 1.9.4 (http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Pro-Drivers)
2) Uninstall Fast Track Pro Drive and restart computer
3) After restar, do NOT install again. Just go to the System Preferences/Sound and set Fast Track as your in/output port
Hope it helps!

Networkmanager: mobile broadband doesn't work anymore

Hi,
I had setup a mobile broadband connection for my Nokia N900, connected via USB, with the NetworkManager (Gmome 3) two or three weeks ago. It worked perfect. Yeserday I tried the internet connection again - after a couple of rolling updates (e.g. actual NetworkManager 0.8.999-1). Now, the internet connection doesn't work anymore.
NetworkManager --no-daemon prints out the following:
NetworkManager[2944]: <info> Activation (ttyACM0) starting connection 'n900'
NetworkManager[2944]: <info> (ttyACM0): device state change: disconnected -> prepare (reason 'none') [30 40 0]

NetworkManager[2944]: <info> Activation (ttyACM0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) started...
NetworkManager[2944]: <info> Activation (ttyACM0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) complete.
NetworkManager[2944]: <warn> GSM modem enable failed: (32) Serial command timed out
NetworkManager[2944]: <info> (ttyACM0): device state change: prepare -> failed (reason 'modem-init-failed') [40 120 28]
NetworkManager[2944]: <warn> Activation (ttyACM0) failed.

NetworkManager[2944]: <info> (ttyACM0): deactivating device (reason: 0).
It seems, the modem cannot be initialized
Using wvdial with the N900, the internet connection works still fine.
What is the problem? Any ideas?

Hi,
I managed to solve. Only the downgrade did not work. My solution:
1-Create the directory (if not existing)
/var/lock
2-Do not use package:
kdeplama-network-management
3-Use the package (downgrade)
extra/modemmanager 0.4-1 [instalado: 0.4-1]
http://arm.konnichi.com/2011/04/30/extr … pkg.tar.xz
4-Use the pachage (gnome)
network-manager-applet
5-Add dbus policy (If the file nm-applet.conf does not exist, create!)

Flash doesn't work suddenly [SOLVED]

Today flash doesn't work anymore, I do not remember any modifications. In Firefox the browser segfaults after a few seconds of flash content. In Opera the flash area is replaced with weird graphics http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/5845 … 0x800s.png like this. I reinstalled flash10, no help. I installed flash9, no help, same problems.
Also, gnash plugin works for most flash content, but not for youtube though (on youtube I'll just get a blueish empty screen). Viewing flash videos is a must for my PC use..
EDIT:
I discovered that my sound didn't work, and I remember removing dbus from my modules since somebody says HAL starts it.
I solved it by adding dbus after hal in modules. I know that people say you shouldn't do that, and it creates this error text at bootup, but that did fix my sound, and my flash issues. Weird.
Last edited by nawitus (2009-05-19 10:03:38)

that didnt do the trick either.
I decided to reinstall flashplugin, and then i noticed a warning that said "warning: directory permissions differ on usr/lib/mozilla. filesystem: 700 package: 755."
should i just try to chmod /usr/lib/mozilla, and then reinstall Flash?
EDIT: Yep, i just ran sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla, and reinstalled flash. Works well

Updating to ios5 recorder doesn't work anymore

[/code]
the result is that recorder record silence, no peak power, no avarage power.
i use xcode4 (ios inxcode4 is till 4.3, i have not downloaded the latest xcode)
why in ios5 doesn't work anymore?
is not compatible?
thanks

i have downloaded the latest xcode, tryed
Documents or Cache instead of /dev/null but no luck
i have solved but don't know why it stopped working.
the code above was putted in a singleton class loaded and initialized once at start of the app.
seems that records only one voice power then stops (even if i have controlled that recording=true, metering enabled=true ecc...in logs)
now i have putted the same code in a method of the singleton class and called that method from the file of the screen "ingame" and works...
mmm.......any ideas why it happens?
