Can't use slim after recent upgrade

Hi all,
Just did pacman -Syu and now I can't use slim to login anymore. I searched the forum but I didn't see any other complaints with X and upgrades, lately.
This is the end of my pacman.log

Because of the xorg pkg. upgrades, I first thought X problems with my nvidia card but I found if I don't use slim, I can startx from console with no problem. I found if I changed to a different tty, killed x, etc. I could login and startx but the session would only last a couple of minutes and x would die. Seemed to do this even if I stopped slim with /etc/rc.d/slim stop but I was messing around with so many things that I can't be sure I actually stopped slim. As long as I didn't start it, everything seems to be fine.
The slim log isn't much help--it just mentions unable to connect to xserver, so for slim, it seems the upgrade to xorg-utils or xorg-server-utils is a problem.
Personally, I prefer to use no login manager anyway but this is on the main home computer and the wife likes to see a nice login screen (she doesn't like changes to the computer setup much).

Hello!
I'm experiencing the same problem: since I updated my system with 'pacman -Syu' slim no longer works on my laptop. More precisely, in place of the usual login screen of slim I get a black screen without prompt, but I still can use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to login in on tty. I tried to start slim from rc.conf or from inittab, no difference.
This problem does not seem to be related to Xorg and my (trident) video driver, as I believed first: replacing slim by lxdm without changing anything else solved the problem completely. Nevertheless I was very fond of the simplicity of slim and I would prefer to use it again if possible, but I have absolutely no idea of what is going on.
@Iceman81: I followed your link without understanding how to use the information there.
@bgc1954: Did you eventually solve your problem?
@Everybody: Could anyone give me a hint? I'm an ordinary Arch user, not a "master of Kyudo".
Regards,
LuX.

Why I can't use 3G after I upgraded ios6?

Can anyone help me solve it? Thanks

You should be able to make things work properly by using the new text direction feature:
It is surprising to hear that you were using the old pages with satisfaction for a RTL script. It had so many bugs that most users found it unsuitable for this, and normally would switch to Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice instead. The new Pages is much improved but there are still some things which need fixing, such as multi-column text behavior.

HT1277 After recently upgrading my desktop I can no longer recieve emails from my IMAP account it continues to come up with password incorrect yet I have not changed it - HELP!

After recently upgrading to Maverick my desktop computer and all other devices will not recieve emails from my IMAP account, it keeps asking me for a password which has never been changed in 8yrs, please help as it was my business account from so long ago and I use it for general 'stuff' and my 'me' account for personal
Cheers

Since it is affecting all your devices also, try going to the e-mail web site and seeing if you can log in there. Who is the e-mail provider?
Try deleting the pass word from Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.
If that doesn't work, try deleting and adding back the e-mail account.

Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

What I suggest you do here is to use Adobe's uninstaller tool to uninstall Flash first of all: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then reboot, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and reinstall it.
I notice too that you have an outdated version of Shockwave For Director. You can update that via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

After recent upgrade Mozilla will open but does not connect - I have Norton Antivirus.

After recent upgrade Mozilla will open but does not connect. I have uninstall/reinstalled several times. I have NortonAntivirus.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Lost all sounds except ringtone after recent upgrade

No sound except ringtone after recent upgrade followed by the upgrade fix. Since the ringtone was only affected I didn't notice immediately! If I plug in my headphones everything works. Unable to use volume buttons on side unless headphones are plugged in, the volume symbol with white dots doesn't even appear anymore. The volume control in itunes music only works when plugged into headphones otherwise it can't be adjusted. Worked with apple support tried everything include a restore to new still no go! It appears that a few people are having the same problem and seems weird that it happened after last upgrade!

If you are unable to adjust the volume without headphones even after restoring, then the iPhone thinks it's plugged into a dock or cable. This is the behavor that will happen if you plug your iPhone in to the car or iHome dock to play you music and sounds, but a docked connection will never play ringtones through the dock connection and headphones override that dock connection which is why your headphones work.
How does the phone think its connected to a dock? Well, this can happen if the charging port gets wet at some point or if some trauma happens in there like pushing the cable in when it doesnt fit, etc.
So it happens even after restoring what do I do? Service your iPhone. https://selfsolve.apple.com

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Your question is backwards, we must assume that you want to upgrade from Lion to 10.8.

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it.

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it. I receive a dialogue box which states previews are not allowed in aperture and the application is shut down.

Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.

Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

You need a printer driver upgrade. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if they have a new driver available. If not, then ask their tech support for additional help.
Meanwhile, open Print & Scan preferences, select the installed driver and click on the Delete [-] button. Then CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the list space and select Reset Print System from the context menu. Now, click on the Add [+] button to re-Add your printer. See it this helps. Be sure your printer is connected and turned on.

After recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

Before doing a Reset (which will wipe out a whole lot of things that you have to reenter) check to make sure the Contacts app didn't simply get pushed to another page by the addition of the Newstand app to the first homescreen.
