/boot not being mounted after pacman update

I just updated my system and upon reboot I've found myself in emergency mode. journalctl -xb tells me among other things that /boot could not be mounted. Following this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171880, I tried downgrading my kernel to 3.18.2 using pacman -U, and while it did downgrade, I am still not able to boot normally. Thinking the kernel upgrade process just caught a glitch, I tried reupdating my kernel, which caused the mkinitcpio script to run.
It said /boot appeared to be a separate partition but was not mounted. Rebooting, I still found myself in the same boat.
This is a dm-crypt+LUKS EFI system using gummiboot. The line currently in my fstab is LABEL=EFI /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,code page=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,short name=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
uname -r tells me the emergency mode is using Linux kernel 3.18.2 instead of the 3.18.6 kernel I updated to. pacman -Q says Linux 3.18.6-1.
Journalctl -xb | grep -I failed | less shows that systemd failed to load display manager and failed to start Load Kernel Modules. Two units failed according to systemctl --state=failed.
When I startup and when I try and connect to the internet with netctl, I get the codepage cp437 error and am prompted again for my root password. Further investigation reveals that is in my /etc/fstab. I don't remember putting that in there. How can I see if any software modified it during the update?
I'd really appreciate suggestions for restoring my system. Thanks in advance.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 Norton IS site logins no longer work, even though they are running, they do not auto load. Is FF not being recognised after the update ?? ??

Normally when i open FF the Norton IS login manager kicks in automatically and completes all the various site logins.
'''However '''since the update to FF4, even though Norton IS 2011 is running the login manager is not working, it's as if FF4 is not being recognised as my browser any longer.
There must be a fix for this; if not i'll be forced to revert to the previous version of FF
New'ish system i3, Win 7, MS Office, Norton IS 2011, Firefox 4.0

You are almost correct in your assumption Norton needs updating to FF4
You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here:

Rules in Mail not being applied after Mavericks update

Hi everyone, I know there are a lot of threads already discussing similar issues, but so far I've been unable to find one that helps resolve my particular issue. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my rules are not being applied in Mail. I will give you a screenshot of one of my rules:
I have about five rules that follow the same pattern: search for particular string in the FROM field and mark it with a color if the string is present. These rules all worked fine in Snow Leopard. All of my rules are still present after the upgrade and all checked as active. When I "select all" messages in my inbox and press Option-Cmd-L the rules are applied properly. However, the rules are not applying themselves when new mail comes in. As far as I can tell this does not have anything to do with the mail not being recognizes “as a new message” like, for example, because the mail was already read on my phone. It happens even if my other devices are offline and the only thing I am using to check mail is my laptop.
I am using a MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core Duo with OS X 10.9.1, in case that matters.
Thanks for any advice!

I think I've found at least a partial solution to the Mail - Rules Don't Work problem:
In "Mail" go to the menu Mailbox and click on Rebuild.
If you have a lot of stuff, this will take several minutes to finish.
I also reviewed all my rules and made a few minor changes.
Mixed results: I found that running "Apply Rules" didn't work on email already received; but new mail did. I don't quite understand that, but I call it a partial success.

Alsa not working anymore after pacman update

I had problems with my sound in arch linux. But then I uninstall pulseaudio and then my sound worked.
However, two weeks ago I performed an pacman update and now the sound isn't working anymore.
I provide my configuration data. I did all the obvious stuff like unmute, aplay -L etc. and checking sound with root account.
Can someone help with this problem?

Remove your ill-advised /etc/asound.conf - it's bypassing dmix.
To make the correct soundcard the default, there's various methods - google it.

Txting through iMessage works fine. Pic's won't send.
I turned on and off everything and did all the necessary trouble shooting.
I'm on a Verizon 4S. and I'm sure Verizon has nothing to do with iMessage system, since it's on its on server.

Aluminum Wireless Keyboard not working properly after Firmware update 1.1

Hi,
Well, as the subject says, my keyboard is not working properly after I updated the firmware. The problem is that several keys (delete, down arrow, brackets and apostrophe) stopped working right after I installed the update. I never dropped it or hit it. And I did not stop or interrupt or did anything during the install. I take very good care of it.
I have already tried toubleshooting with the support page, restarting the iMac, taking off the batteries, setting it up with bluetooth again, going back a week with time machine and to reinstall the firmware. So, if you have something new for me to try, I will really apreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Franco.

I have 24" iMac with the Apple wireless M&KB - I know this is basic but have you tried a fresh set of batteries? My KB will refuse to establish connection when batteries are on the weak side the firmware update may just be a co incidents. If your wireless mouse is working OK then I would guess the blue tooth is functioning.
Not sure about the 10.49 download - are your other file downloads completing properly? Are there any error messages?
Steve

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

KDEMod 3.5: problems after pacman update

I did a pacman update of KDEMod 3.5, and now, several things don't work anymore:
-there's no desktop background, it's just black
-there's no icons on the desktop: as mentioned above, it's just black (so I think the component that displays wallpaper and icons doesn't work)
-when just starting KDE, there's a "report crash" window (I don't know which the thing that crashes is, it just shows the crash window and I can click it away)
-when choosing "lock session" in the start menu, nothing happens. It used to show screensaver and require password to continue, now it does nothing at all
-maybe some other things I didn't discover yet are also broken...
How can I fix all this? I'd like my system to work properly, like it used to. KDEMod 3.5 appears to have some difficulties after pacman updates these days...
Thanks.

Hmm, I just realized that the wallpaper is a jpeg, and it could be related to the fix I did in my previous post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=78076
Are they going to fix those jpeg issues soon? I think this is something vital.
EDIT: FYI: this fixed it: tar -C / -zxvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libjpeg-6b-6-i686.pkg.tar.gz usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0

Ipod 5 flash not working right after the update

Hi first off: my flash was perfect before the update so I think its not hardware?
- after the update yesterday today my friend and I tried to take a selfie in a dark place so we wanted to use the back camera and turned the flash as ON for our surprise it didnt work.
- we tried then to take something else's pic and the flash worked
- we tried the selfie again this time using the camera buttom not the volume's but didnt work.
- we used hipstamatic and VSCOCam then and it worked perfectly
- I tried turning on and off the device and did not work.
- I did a full restore through Itunes and didnt work.
anybody else having this problem?
any suggestion to fix it?

I contacted apple and they claimed it to be an obvious software bug, they said I had to take it to an assistence to get a new one intantly but as theres no assistence in my town and I cant go to nearby one I will have to just replace the stock app for a better one... once more I'm disapointed with apple.

my ipod touch is not getting recognised after the update in my itunes library. i have updated my library as well. but it shows the connect to itunes sign on my ipod.

If it happened after updating iTunes on the computer see:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If after updating the iOS on your iPod:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Since I updated to firefox 3.6 I keep gettin multiple popup windows. This did not happen until after the update. The popups appear as regular windows so popup blockers can not stop them.

Since I updated to firefox 3.6 I keep gettin multiple pop up windows. This did not happen until after the update. The pop ups appear as regular windows so pop up blockers can not stop them. Why has the new update made my laptop more vulnerable. updates are supposed to be improvements!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== as soon as I updated to ver 3.6

Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged.
What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.
