Enlightenment17 shows up in bad resolution and hangs on startup

Hey,
After using Enlightenment (enlightenment17 package) successfully for about 1 week it broke today:
As I started Arch as usual and logged in via LXDM Enlightment showed up in a 4:3 resolution (i use a 16 / 9 notebook) and hanged on the preparing message (these blinking colored squares under the "enlightenment" fontart).
I didn't find any error messages in dmesg, Xorg logs 0 - 7 and nothing in journalctl so I decided to post without logs. If you need more information pls ask^^
System:
Arch x86_64
Kernel 3.9.9
Intel and Nvidia Driver (using bumblebee successfully)
enlightenment17 without any extra modules or themes
Any suggestions?

I had problems recently with Bodhi E17. I couldn't start X from the login screen. IIRC, I had to press Ctrl F5, login, then press Ctrl F7 to get X to start. I had problems with the compositor. I turned off compositing, and can now login normally, but videos are horrendously slow (either with compositing enabled or not). I just gave up for the time being. I have an Intel Sandy Bridge laptop with the Intel HD3000 GPU. I performed a system update, but the issue remains. Perhaps it's a KMS issue???
No problem using the same laptop with Arch XFCE, Fedora 18 Gnome, or Mageia 3 KDE.
EDIT: Discovered the problem in Bodhi E17 is with sna acceleration. Had to revert to uxa acceleration. Funny, sna works fine in Arch XFCE, Fedora 18 Gnome, and Mageia 3 KDE.

Can you help me fix my screen? It randomly has a bluish tint, bad resolution and horizontal flashing lines

Hi all,
It's a 15" 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo MBP running on Leopard 10.5.8, bought spring 2008.
About a couple of weeks ago, my screen started randomly switching to a strange blue / purple tint along with a bad resolution (can't really read text on screen) and flashing horizontal lines in the background. It started worrying me given I'm working with it all the time and am hoping for this machine to hold on for a few more months until I can buy a new one.
It would happen randomly for a few minutes at a time and then revert back to normal screen.
I found a lot of references to a similar problem in a few threads such as this one:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1456983?tstart=0
My screen has gone strange again now and isn't reverting back to normal so far even after I tried restarting it. It was normal for 2 min only ans then back to bluish. I tried all the display fixes indicated in the threads but none of them work and I'm not exactly sure my issue is the same given I can still see the tint and horizontal lines in particular if the screen saver goes on, and the resolution on screenshots I've seen of other people having blue tint screen issues seems to be normal (as in text is legible).
Any ideas on how to fix it? Do you think it might be more of a software or hardware problem..? Would it help if I try upgrading my Mac OS?
Thank you very much for your time

Thanks a lot for the reply, I was worried would say that outright. Screen just only reverted back to normal after a couple of hours. As you said probably best to bring it in for diagnosis, I'll try to do that asap though of course I'm nowhere neaar any AASP at the moment.

Firefox stopped working and hangs upon startup

First, a problem with iTunes - could not access the iTunes store. Uninstalled iTunes and re-installed, then Firefox hung up, had to close with Task Manager. After that Firefox hangs on startup. Have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, still hangs on startup. Using Windows 7 OS.

Firefox will not load to start in safe mode - it is just a blank white screen with no radio buttons or icons on it and the circling icon for loading.
I deleted my old profile and uninstalled Firfox and tried downloading again, but the same problem exists. I am currently using IE as my browser, but prefered Firefox (when it worked). It seems the new version is the problem.

Mini 1030nr CMOS Checksum bad - Restarts and hangs

After checksum error, it restarts with HP logo again with F9 to select boot device or F10 to enter setup but neither key does anything. Tried CTL Home and rom file in USB floppy but it seems it never reads from the floppy. It does access the floppy during Post like normal but it doesn't seem to read it again to get the ROM file. Since it's not booting from USB flash drive, there is no way to run the Windows BIOS flash. Is there a way to set BIOS to default? How can I flash since there is no OS running? It just hangs with two function keys having no effect. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have an HP Mini 110 - 1040TU and has got the same checksum bad / F9/F10 key hang-up. Any run-around to get rid of these problems and make the mini work ? Thanks.

Froze and hangs on startup logo

I was using the Tone Board app and when I pressed the Home button, a tone kept playing and the iPod froze. I forced a shutdown and the screen went black with no red slider at any stage.
Now when I try to start up it simply hangs at the Apple logo. So I don't know what else I can do -- the Mac does not recognise it of course as it is not running.
2G touch running the latest OS prior to V3.0. Can't look to see what it is.
Any help gratefully received.

If you had held the Home button a bit longer, it would have force closed the app that was locked up and you would not of had this problem. So...
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until you see the Apple logo. Release them and let your iPod restart. (this is a reset)
If that doesn't work, you are going to have to put the iPod into a recovery mode. You can read up about that here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

G5 not chiming and hanging on startup

Hi all
I have a G5 that recently had a power supply replaced, and now its being funky again.
It starts up fine, makes all the right noises, except it fails to chime, the screen doesn't kick in to life and it whirs away for a short while before the fans go into turbo take off mode and i have to force it to shut down.
anyone have any ideas what this might be.
I've tried resetting the PMU on the board inside and left it to think about it bad behavior for time but nothing currently seems to work. Any ideas people what might be wrong with it this time?
Thanks for the advice.

Hi kladzer-
Are there any LEDs on inside?

What causes ad-hoc to run with bad plan and its resolution

One of our Company Application funcnalities uses the ad-hoc query that returns top first row from the result sets .There has been several times since this ad-hoc query ran with a bad
execution in last 8 months .There is no specifice time and date or day when this query run with bad execution plan ,however whenever this query ran with a bad execution plan on SQL ,that happed always early in the morning , before 6am .The setting of database
parameterization is set to forced .There is SQL maintenance reindexing job that runs each night at 2am that changes the recovedry model of our production database from Full to simple and changing back from simple to full after the reindexing operation .That
causes the SQL plans to flush each night .The next day morning , when the application ad-hoc query runs on SQL first time , SQL generates a new plan for that query . Some strange reason , SQL genarates a good plan for that ad-hoc query most of the times ,but
sometime this query picks up a bad plan .Whenever it happen,the application function becomes exetremly slow and it seems that the rest of the fuctionalities work fine meantime .
Our application vender is aware of this issue and this issue will be fixed in the application next release .Developer is converting the ad-hoc query into stored procedure to fix this
issue .Application new relase will not available for next 2-3 months ,meantime we still have to deal with the ad-hoc query bad execution plan issue . Usually ,when the ad-hoc query run with the bad execution plan , I retrieve the query bad plan and just remove
the plan for that particular query from cache .Once the bad plan is removed from cache , the perfomance gets back to normal .
As my understanding, this issue is related to parameter sniffing .but anyone thinks there are other factors responsible for this issue such as the network problem , the resource intensive
report ran or something else .
Has anyone have step by step troubleshooting steps that could help me with my investigation and what areas
do I need to look into in order to investigate what could caused the ad-hoc query to pick up bad plan ?
Any help will be apprecited .
Daizy

When we upgraded our Production Database to SQL server 2008R2 enterprise Edition. We ran into the transaction log file to grow too large during the reindexing job activities at night .To prevent the transaction log file to grow big , we had decided to change
the recovery model of database from FULL to Simple before the reindexing job starts and the recovery model of Database is changed from Simple to Full after the reindexing job finishes . We also have the differential backup job setup right after the recovery
model change back to full so the transaction log backup chain does not break.
The transaction log chain breaks when you set the recovery to simple.
Yes, if you take a diff backup, you can apply transaction logs from that point
if the diff backup is good. If the diff backup is bad, you will lose all updates after you set recovery to simple. And, yes, when you hardware starts to deteoriate, you should not be surprise that the last backup is not good.
Again, please stop setting recovery to simple, unless you have a very relaxed RPO in your SLA. Use bulk-logged recovery instead.
By the way, you do take a t-log backup before you change the recovery mode, don't you?
Changing the database recovery model does flush the SQL plans for specific Database. Please review this linkhttp://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/steveh/archive/2010/09/02/changing-recovery-model-removes-plans-from-procedure-cache-for-a-database.aspx
Hmmm. I don't have the time to verify this right now. Anyway, reindexing is good enough to flush the cache of most plans.
I have pretty much all required info regarding this query , but what other areas or investigation do I need to do for the query parameter sniffing issue ?
Have you researched what values the initial plan is sniffed for?
As Erland said adding space in query ,I don?t know adding space means just add additional space in the query so it hashes a different values .Please advice .
Obviously, you need access to the application code. The other alternative is to set up an early morning job that runs after this first execution and which forces a recompilation; either by evicting this specific plan or more brutally runs sp_recompile on
one of the tables in the query.

Bad resolution when I save for web

Just got Illustrator CC and its really bad resolution when I try to save for web on my new MacBook pro Retina (Don't know if it got anything to do with it)

if you draw something using paths in illustrator and save it as AI or PDF, it will maintain those paths and draw its appearance (strokes etc) to whatever resolution you screen is at (or whatever you print it at). if you save something for web, it will convert those appearances into pixels. if you zoom in on those pixels, all they can do is get larger and make your image appear more blocky. when you save for web, you want the resolution of what you're saving to be the same as the resolution it will be used at. if you save an image at 100x100 pixels and then view it at that size on screen, it will look as good as you screen is capable of showing. if you enlarge it, it won't.

T430 1600x900 i5 Core: Mini DisplayPort To HDMI 1920x1080 TV Resolution And Sizing-Overscan Problems

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. Also, my apologies if these issues have been previously resolved; I've spent 2 days searching for answers and none of my effort has resulted in a solution, either here or elsewhere.
I very recently for the first time connected my ThinkPad T430 2344-5GU (i5 core, native screen resolution 1600x900, Intel HD 4000 v9.17.10.2843, NVIDIA Optimus NVS 5400M v9.18.13.1100) to a Panasonic HD TV (native screen resolution 1920x1080) using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI connector, with the hope of playing 1080p movies on my laptop while watching them on the TV. This seemingly worked fine at first--both audio and video were present--but I quickly noticed that the image on the TV was, very slightly, larger than the image on the laptop screen (cutting off roughly 5% of the image on each of the 4 sides) and that the resolution wasn't 1920x1080. So I hunted for a solution.
Windows display properties were no help. In fact, as soon as I tweaked something there I lost the picture on the TV (the options available are "Show desktop only on 1" (the laptop screen), "Show desktop only on 2" (the TV screen), and "Extend these screens", which annoyingly turns the TV blank yet allows the cursor to to enter the TV screen depending on the chosen layout and the cursor's approach direction to the TV). So, from having a functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture on the TV screen I went to nothing, at least for my desired use.
Further research led me to the Intel HD 4000 settings, but those didn't even show that multiple screens were in use when the TV is attached. Finally, I tried using the NVIDEA Control Panel, but although multiple displays seem to be supported the best I can do when cloning is have the screens' resolutions meet in the middle at 1440x900, which makes them both look worse than the original plug-and-play result described above. Heck, I went so far as to enter the BIOS and try every combination possible under "Graphics": no NVIDEA, Integrated, Discrete, each with and without "Auto Detect NVIDEA capability" enabled and disabled. I even updated the NVIDEA driver to their newest, a version not available at the Lenovo Support site. Nothing. And worse, ever since my very first tweak under Windows display properties I wasn't able to return to the original functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture.
At this point I used a very recent image to return my system to it's Pre Original Tweak state (allowing for the functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture originally obtained), which is better than nothing, I guess, but surely not what I'd expect from a higher end laptop.
Please, does anyone know if there's a way to connect my T430, native resolution 1600x900, to an HD TV, native resolution 1920x1080, while actually maintaining each screens respective native resolution and not losing any of the image? Thank you again for your time.
Edit: After more research I've fit the desktop image to the screen by adjusting the TV's "Picture/Advanced picture/HD size" setting from "Size 1" to "Size 2". Now my only question is if it's possible to somehow play a 1080p movie at the TV's native resolution of 1920x1080 or if I'm stuck with the laptop's navtive resolution of 1600x900.

Try grabbing the latest NVIDIA driver off of the NVIDIA website. It might help.
Extending it should also allow you to run the 1600x900 T430 screen plus the 1920x1080 TV screen each at their native resolutions.

I am trying to Show Package contents of iMovie and it freezes at the hr.lprog folder

While doing a virus scan my machine would freeze on the file
Applications/iMovie/Contents/Resource/hr.lprog/Title-SidewaysDrifting.nib/keyedo bjects.nib.
Bitdefender said to send them the file.
I am able to "Show package contents" of iMovie, and open the Contents and Resources folder. When I try to open the hr.lprog folder, I get the spinning beach vball of death and I have to reboot my machine using the power button.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
Is the hr.lprog folder just the language files for Croatia? If so, can I safely delete them, or is there more to it?

My guess would be that your hard drive has become corrupt, and the corruption is affecting something about that folder or its contents such that when the Finder tries to display them, it crashes. I would recommend immediatelyrepairing with Disk Utility. Also, if you don't have any backups, now would be a good time to start, before something bad happens.
If repairing the hard drive doesn't work, I would try deleting and reinstalling iMovie.
Also, note that I don't recommend BitDefender. Read my Mac Malware Guide, and if after reading that you want to have anti-virus software, use one of the programs it recommends. BitDefender has performed poorly in my anti-virus software testing, both in the first round and the second round of testing.

SCXI-1321 Bad Chips and Function Calls

8-4-04
This message is intended for the PSE of the SCXI-1321 and that person�s manager. Please route it accordingly. I would appreciate a phone response to 8**-2**-2*** so that I might share some specific experiences.
To the managers of the SCXI product line,
I have used the SCXI-1121 with the SCXI 1321 for some time now, approximately 6 years. Our company generally uses them for full bridge pressure transducers and similar applications. I have some suggestions that would make them more saleable. I also believe that you will never know how many customers you have already lost on this product line, for the reasons given below.
1. For many years the shunt resistor on the 1321 has been vastly unusable. What SHOULD be possible is to command the shunt resistor through a Labview command, and then read the virtual channel to see the shunted value. That IS the purpose of the feature. What happens is that once you set the shunt command, then read the virtual channel, the very act of reading the channel UN-shunts the resistor. What you read is some value part way between, because the chip relay from Clare actually ramps open and closed, unlike a mechanical relay. If your timing loop to read the value is consistent, you will consistently read a BAD value. Several VI�s tried to command the shunt, then quickly read the virtual channel, then loop and do it again, and thought they had solved the problem. Further investigation showed that all that was really happening is that the readings appeared to be stable because of the fast loop time, but were actually mid-release of the shunt for all readings.
2. NI eventually starting saying �don�t use virtual channels with the shunt�. In fact, there is a channel string that starts with the word �shunt� that was recommended. The only problem with this is that the data that comes back is not scaled! Keep in mind that NI has been pushing �virtual channels� on users for many years as the way to do business, and so entire test stands are developed around them and MAX. Because we depend on MAX to do the scaling, how are we supposed to be able to read the data scaled? Does NI expect customers to duplicate the efforts of MAX for every virtual channel and scale it separately? Do I have to keep duplicate tracking of scaling information so that my virtual channels will work in the main code, but again elsewhere so that my calibration routine can read the data? This is messy, and for most customers, untenable.
3. I was told, literally, year after year and release after release, that the problem would be fixed in future versions of NI-DAQ. Each release proved that the problem was not resolved. I am sure that many customers were not repeat customers as they found the problems associated with using a simple shunt on the board. I myself needed this hardware due to the 1121/1321 parallel operation capability.
4. After years of trying to fight with the issues above, and what seemed like random problems with the shunting of channels, a second hardware related issue has finally been identified. See SRQ#600753 with Michelle Yagle. The Clare solid state relays installed on the 14 different 1321�s I bought ALL had the same defect. Imagine what this means for troubleshooting! You swap boards to try to troubleshoot, but they are all defective and so you falsely rule out the board, the problem didn�t resolve with a different board. The lot# 0027T12627 of chips covers a wide range of 1321 serial numbers (see my SRQ for details). That means this impacts a lot of potential customers. The part is rated by the manufacturer to 80C, 176F. This particular lot stops functioning as low as 96F! A great deal of testing with heat guns, shop air, and a thermocouple showed that all the chips in this lot fail somewhere between 96 and 110F, well below manufacturers specs or NI�s specs on the board. I also tested lot 98, from a board two years older, as well as new chips from lot 03, which both worked perfectly all the way up to 212F (100C).
Conclusions:
I believe that the people that have tried to use your 1321 have generally had a miserable time of it, unless they already do their own scaling (like some of the Alliance members do.) This is because the shunt feature is not compatible with virtual channels, because NI did not offer a reasonable fix for this problem over a four+ year period, and does NOT advertise this limitation when people are making hardware selections. Further, I believe there are many people that have boards with the same bad lot of chips on them that don�t know it. They may have elected to hardwire their own resistors after fighting with random problems (temperature related). They might have elected to hardwire their own resistors to get around the NI-DAQ limitation. They might not even use the shunt resistor. But one thing is certain: NI needs to clean up this board�s operation, make sure that customers of the serial numbers in my SRQ named above are notified of the bad chips, and fully test that the use of the relays is transparent to LV virtual channels in the future. People will not trust NI products with this type of problems, and will not buy the product again if all the features don�t work!
I have helped NI resolve similar issues with the SCXI-1126 years ago, which had a number of scaling issues in NI-DAQ (the board read great when you used 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, etc. even ranges, but if you set a virtual channel to 0-2200, the readings were off.) I plotted the problem, documented it with my sales rep, and worked at length with tech support. The boards also had a lot of bad buffer amplifier chips that allowed cross talk between channels, causing a lot of other spurious problems. Those experiences were horribly frustrating, but I now buy the product with confidence. It took a lot of push on my part to convince NI there was a real underlying problem. This 1321 board is similar.
I want NI products to be the best they can be, as I have dedicated my career around them. Please take this feedback to heart, and contact me at 8**-2**-2*** to talk about these issues. Additionally, I am speaking at NI week this year and will be available for discussion. Contact me at the same number.

Thank you for your feedback for the SCXI-1321 terminal block.
I wanted to see if it would be possible for you to move your application to NI DAQmx, the new driver for DAQ and SCXI as of NI-DAQ 7.0. I have tested the shunt calibration using a SCXI-1121 and SCXI-1321 and it works as it should. There are two ways to do the shunt calibration with DAQmx.
The first is to use the Calibration feature in the DAQ Assistant. When creating a DAQmx Task in either MAX or LabVIEW, you can select the �Device� tab and click on the Calibration button. It will then ask you if you either want to do a null or shunt calibration, or both. It will then do the calibrations selected and save the values to the task.
The other option to measure the shunted value is to use the AI.B
ridge.ShuntCal.Enable property node in LabVIEW. By setting this property to True, the driver will enable the shunt for the current measurements. If you are taking a strain measurement, the value will be converted to strain.
We are currently looking into the issues you are seeing with the Clare relays to see if other users could be affected.

4 of the songs on a recently purchased album do not appear on my computer. I bought the album on my phone, and all of the songs are accounted for there, but on my computer it shows as an incomplete album and ITunes wants me to buy the missing songs?

I recently purchased Slipknot's ".5: The Gray Chapter" on my phone via an ITunes gift card worth $15 dollars. The album did have some trouble downloading because of a bad signal, and a good number of songs "could not be downloaded at this time". To download the missing songs, I had to go into ITunes store>more>purchased>music>all songs and click download on the few that didn't. This fixed that problem, and now the entire album is on my phone, but when the album transferred over to my computer, 4 of the songs still did not appear. Not only that, it says that they have not been purchased. The ITunes card I used only has a dollor left on it, so I know it registered the purchase. The 10th, 14th, 15th, and 16th tracks still have $1.29 next to them, and ITunes is showing the album as an incomplete.

We are having this same issue. We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library. Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain. The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase. Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.
