Automate Drivers install that Update retriever doesn't pick up

OK - I have implemented Thininstaller in our enterprise environment for new lenovo builds. The problem is some drivers need to be installed manually due to issues with thininstaller/update retriever. My question is - to do silent installs on these machines would I need to expand the .exe's then and run the silent comamands or can I do it straight fromt he EXE downloaded from the Lenovo site. I plan on just creating a batch file to do silent installs.

I have 2 Apple ID's. I bought all my music on first one. Now, update/sync doesn't pick up musiuc bc using a new Apple ID.... can i merge them onto my iPhone?

I have 2 Apple ID's (the old one and my newer one - attached to a new email address).

No.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
All content is forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.

L530, E31 drivers missing in Update Retriever

Hi,
we use the TV update retriever in combination with ThinInstaller so do our driver installations.
Unfortunately two drivers are missing/not listed in the update retriever repository:
For the ThinkPad L530 (2479) the STElectronics TPM Driver (G3Z101WW) isn't listed at all.
For the ThinkStation E31 (2553) the Nuvoton TPM Driver (Q1TPM08US13) isnt' listed for that model.
Can you please add these drivers to the repository?
thanks & greetings

Sorry for these issues, the updates team is still working on getting all the updates published for the new systems like X230...
Bluetooth should be there starting from today.
I recommend not installing RapidBoot Shield unless you have personally tested it and determined that it makes your image boot faster and doesn't cause side-effects.
Intel USB 3.0 has a wrong dependency on RapidBoot Shield, the team is working on removing the dependency. If you are using ThinInstaller you may be able to figure out how to remove the dependency from the XML file yourself...

Update Retriever doesn't run on Windows 8

Hi - I have started working with Microsoft's MDT 2012 update 1 to prepare for deployment of Windows 8 in our organization. I'd like to use "Update Retriever" so I can easily import a large number of Lenovo Thinkpad drivers.
However when I launch Update Retriever 4.03 (the most current version I see available for download) on a Windows 8 Enterprise machine, I receive the error:
"Update Retriever could not start properly".
Is there a solution?
Thanks!

We are in the process of final qualification tests for Update Retriever v5.0. This version will provide the support for Windows 8 searches.
Just curious, are you deploying Windows 8 in your environment or are you just looking to have UR run on your Win8 workstation?
Also, with MDT you may want to also check out our SCCM driver packs.

How about an update install that updates Adobe Air first?

It's exasperating to deal with all the annoyances of managing CC updates. Yesterday I had to confirm my login three different times for CC applications, and that's a particular hassle since I use a strong password that I have to look up. Adobe Muse updates are very annoying since they trigger a separate install dialog for Adobe Air and that frequently means shutting down not only the file I opened that triggered the update notification, but also shutting down a Muse update in progress. Can't you sequence the notices so that Adobe Air updates get installed first? Sometimes the Adobe Air update does show up first, but frequently not. Or I get two competing dialogs to install Adobe Air.

Thanks for your feedback! We are aware of these conflicts caused with the CC Application Manager due to the fact that Muse is an Air application. Please refer to the following thread - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1253307.
We do have plans to address these inconsistencies in one of our upcoming Muse releases. Sorry about the inconvenience!
Thanks,
Vinayak

Update retriever not always latest driver

I have noticed lately that Update Retriever is not pulling the latest driver from the Lenovo website.
I specifically noticed this with the query 3437/win8 updates. It doesn't pull the RealTek High Definition Audio Driver version 6.0.1.7040. Is there a delay or should it pull the latest available as soon as it is available on the support website?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is a delay. Content available through Update Retriever is the same content available through System Update. There is additional work that has to be done to create a package descriptor so System Update or ThinInstaller know how to install the update and detect when it is applicable. Then various scenarios have to be tested across various supported devices. Usually there is at least 2 weeks delay. We sometimes find issues with installing the update using System Update or Thin Installer and the delay is longer.

Why does Software Update want to install ProKit Update when I don't have any of the listed apps?

Software Update just prompted me to install ProKit Update 7.0. I don't have any of the applications listed in the description. I searched for each with Spotlight just to make sure. My Macbook has only a clean install of Snow Leopard, Microsoft Office 2008, and Xcode 4.0.2. Why am I being prompted to install this update?
Extracted from the description: This update is recommended for users of Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Final Cut Express, Logic Pro, MainStage, Logic Express and iAd Producer.

It doesn't check whether any of those applications are installed. All Macs come with iPhoto. You may have removed it, but SU doesn't know that.
I do not have iPhoto installed and it was never installed. iPhoto is part of iLife, which is on disc #2. I slicked the disk and did a clean install of Snow Leopard using only disc #1. I am surprised that Software Update doesn't check what is installed so it knows what update to install, I thought that was the whole point of Software Update. It seems to know what hardware drivers are installed and will only install updates for those specific drivers. But fine with me, I will install that update.

Moving the update retriever to another machine

If I move the update retirever install to another machine (but keep the repository the same server location) - Do I need to move across any files ? are all the settings concerned contained in the repository ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi joebhoy,
I just did a fresh install of Update Retriever on a T530 and there is an option for Repository path. You'll be able to select the server location and you'll be all set; you shouldn't have to move any files. I hope that helps!

Update Retriever fails to download Intel Chipset Support update

When I ran Update Retriever (version 4.03.0006) on my R500 that is running Windows XP/SP3, and specify machine type = 2714, and operating system = Windows XP and language = English, in the search criteria, I am presented with the following available package:
Intel Chipset Support for Widows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8
It is interesting to note that Update Retriever says that no previous version of this driver exists, yet version 9.3.0.1020 of this driver is installed on that machine.
I selected the package and the download appeared to proceed, but at the end, I was informed that “1 update failed to be downloaded.” Selecting that link displays a box with the following information:
The following updates fail to be downloaded
Title                                                                                       Version       Name
Intel Chipset Support for Widows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8   9.3.0.1021 CHIPSET_G1IC
When I then selected the “View history” option followed by selecting the link to “View download history”, I am informed that the following updates were downloaded successfully
Title                       Version        Name
CHIPSET_G1IC   9.3.0.1021   Intel Chipset Support for Widows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8
If I now select “Manage Repository”, and select “Update view”, the package is not visible. It is also not visible if I browse the repository directly. This package is not presented to me when I run Thinkvantage System Update.
This also happened when I ran Update Retriever (version 4.03.0006) on my R61 that is running Windows XP/SP3, and specified machine type = 8932, and operating system = Windows XP and language = English, in the search criteria.
Please fix. Thanks.

Ever since I reported this problem, I have logged on almost every day and again tried to download this update using Update Retriever. Today, I am happy to say, the download was successful on both my R61 as well as my R500 machines. So thank-you Lenovo. The problem is resolved.
It is interesting to note, that after downloading the package, I then tried System Update and was surprised to note that the recently downloaded package was not presented to me as available for update. So back to Update Retriever to modify the status of the package from TEST to ACTIVE. Then back to System Update. No change. The package was still not available for update. If anybody has any ideas on why this is happening, I would appreciate their input. Maybe I will open a new post to help find a solution.

T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE to the point of updating - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?) there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60 e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
(contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature
szAppName: AcSvc.exe szAppVer: 5.6.1.33 szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
szModVer : 13.0.0.2 offset: 000d4912
and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
start AccessConnections.
U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
automagically...;-(((
And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
(I could not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the
time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and NEVER
experienced problems like this in many years!
cheers

gal9000, welcome to the forum,
have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] Xorg doesn't pick up any input devices from udev

My laptop is an Acer Aspire One D255. With a fresh install of Arch, Xorg doesn't pick up any input devices from udev. The keyboard and trackpad both work in the linux console. Killing gpm has no effect. I would post my xorg log, but it's terribly uninformative. There is no mention of anything evdev or input related other than the standard message:
[222367.704] (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.
I've tried various tweaks to xorg.conf and udev rules, but nothing seems to have any effects. I don't know if this is related, but xinput refuses to connect to the xserver, so `xinput list` doesn't provide anything useful either.
Has anyone seen this before?
Last edited by redden0t8 (2011-03-11 18:16:58)

Xorg package versions:
http://pastebin.com/Fu2gpdYD
udev is 166-2
Keyboard info:
http://pastebin.com/zkZdFTmW
Trackpad info:
http://pastebin.com/X9sPXcau
Let me know if there is any other info that could be helpful.
EDIT: thought I'd add:
My xorg.conf and udev rules are all stock. I've tried playing around with them to no avail so I'm back to stock settings.
`xorg -configure` produces a broken configuration. It tries to statically configure the keyboard and mouse, but doesn't set "AllowEmptyInput" "false" so I end up with the same problem.
Video works flawlessly out of the box so that's not an issue.

Change Account Workflow in CUP - Doesn't pick up existing values for an Acc

Hi,
When using the change account option available in the CUP(5.3 SP 7), I expected the system to populate the user details as they exist in the provisioning system once I enter the account details that need a change. We have the 'Search' and 'User Details' Data source configured to the same SAP R/3 system.
For eg, when requesting for a new account, I've chosen an Employee Type attribute as 'Non-Employee' (SAP delivered request attribute) and entered some values for my custom attributes .
And when I chose to change the same user account, I notice that the system doesn't pick up the existing values for any of the attributes and render them. For the Employee Type attribute, it shows the default value and for the custom fields, they are shown blank!!!!
It does seem like the user attribute values from R/3 are being picked up and displayed correctly, but the ones from GRC Database are left out.
I believe this to be a bug and does anyone experienced this issue and found a fix????
Thanks,
Anil

Hi Alpesh,
Thanks for your response.
This brings up a basic question on the repository for saving user attribs...ie. does all these need to be saved on R/3? Assuming yes depending on our current configuration(We have the 'Search' and 'User Details' Data source configured to the same SAP R/3 system), do we have a standard field for saving the 'Employee Type' attrib in SAP?. I did perform a field mapping of a custom attirb to one of the SAP fields in the user master, and get it saved during user provisioning. But it doesn't pick it up from there when I perform a change account. Seems it's missing that reverse mapping. And I've chosen the 'Field Type' of the custom filed to Text as to enable free text during new account request.
Hope you may find something more.
Regards,
Anil

HT5639 When I start up in Boot Camp it says that updates weren't properly installed and the system is reloading. It then automatically restarts in Mountain Lion. What is wrong?

I am currently using Windows 8 and also have Microsoft office installed but those are the only thing on my partitioned space. I don't know if I installed 32 or 64 version of Windows 8. Could that be the problem?

Can you deal with XP not being supported by Apple and Microsoft? no security etc?
Can you use Windows in a VM instead of natively?
All the drives other than the one with XP will need to be pulled.
Always have backups of your system, clone that you can boot from.
Boot Camp 3.0 was the last supported. You don't need OEM 10.4.6 DVD and your system with EFI and SMC updates (Aug/Sept 2007) may not like it.
32-bit version of Windows on EFI-32 will only get 1.9GB RAM.
Installing 64-bit Windows 7 is a bit harder. Vista pre-SP1 64-bit was the best match for install on my 1,1 and that was 2006-2007.
The new owner needs to deal with this, not you. And really they are better off with a $400 PC instead. Or use a VM.
the owner should put in a new SSD for the system and $44 buys 4 x 2GB RAM. Together it will run just fine. 500GB SSD now $250 / $135 250GB. Biggest issue is a video card on these.
The grey screen - you upgraded the graphic card perhaps.
Unplug everything. Hit power for 5-10 seconds. Reconnect cables for mouse/kb and power, and monitor. You just reset SMC. Yes there is a small button - pull drive #4 and any controller in top slot #4 to see the SMC motherboard reset button but you don't need to.
Any PCIe cards can also play a role and factor into XP or Windows not working.

My macbook won't update. It says that it's updating, restarts, but doesn't actually install any updates. Help?

I've tried several times to update my Macbook software, but each time it says it will begin the process it restarts, and doesn't do anything. This is really frustrating, because a lot of the programs I want to use require new updates. Please help!
My macbook is right around 2 years old.

Model A1286
OS X 10.6.8
I haven't been able to install any updates at all since I first got the Macbook. It hasn't caused much of an issue until now- most websites at this points require updated versions of several plug-ins.
Here's the list that the software update gives:
     Safari ver 5.1.7
     Macbook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7
     Apple Software Installer Update 1.0
     Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.0
     Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 12
     Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.3
     iPhoto Update 9.2.3
     Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7
     GarageBand Update 6.0.5
     iTunes 11.0.1
     Security Update 2012-004 1.0
     Airport Utility 5.6.1
