Eth0 missing, Xorg won't start, and removable media problems
When I got back from vacation last night, I turned on my computer and several problems arose. I tried starting X with startx like I usually do but it wouldn't come up. I tried opening elinks to google the problem only to find that the internet wouldn't work. A quick ifconfig showed that eth0 was missing.
I googled the problem with my netbook and found this thread. It sounds like the OP couldn't see eth0 right after he installed Arch Linux, but eth0 worked fine for me about 10 days ago. Also, my motherboard is an Asus M2A-VM rather than a P8P67. Nonetheless, I copied the driver he linked to to a flash drive. But when I plugged the flash drive into my desktop, it didn't show up in /dev/. In fact only two of the thee hard drives I have installed showed up. The two that show up are SATA and the one that doesn't is an IDE. Not to mention the flash drive that didn't show up.
For further testing I booted an old Ubuntu Jaunty live CD I found laying around. In Ubuntu eth0 does show up. As for the hard drives, it looks the same as it does in Arch Linux.
I think I may possibly have a bad motherboard due to devices not showing up in /dev/, but I want to be completely sure. I want to get a new computer either way but for now I want to focus on at least getting eth0 and X working again. Any ideas on how I can get that driver over to my desktop or how I can get X started?
No, I didn't follow the beginners install guide. I just installed Arch Linux then installed the packages that I wanted.
Here is my /etc/rc.conf:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# DAEMON_LOCALE: If set to 'yes', use $LOCALE as the locale during daemon

And the sound works so I guess I don't need a sound module? Well, it did before I left for vacation.

Any help would be appreciated.
I have removed the ecp site from default site and attempting to rerun SP1 now. I do not have high hopes. :(Hi,
Thanks for your response.
From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,
Amy Wang

I've updated to yosemite from Mavericks, but since i can't connect to the internet I used my time machine back up which was march 2013. Now my macbook pro won't start and ends with a prohibted sign. Any suggestions pls.
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -

Cs3 won't start and hand on "reading preferences"
Hello
All of a sudden my photoshop won't start and hang on the splash screen " the last message is "reading preferences"
I Run WINXP service pack2.
Photoshop version is 10.0.1
I rebooted did everything (without re-installing)
Is there a way to get out of this ?
BrunoYou could try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem. -

After last update to last version, FF was running fine before a hardware restart.
Since then it won't start and profile manager either. No error message pops up and console window doesn't trace any event.
firefox package contents an "updated" package likely created by last update.
Will i loose my settings or run into any kind of problem by replacing firefox's package with the so called "updated" one?The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

POA Won't Start After Removing Storage Area
I setup a test library and in that, setup a test document storage area. When using the client I was unable to make any files in the library. I turned off the storage area and selected the post office option. Then I could upload and create files.
Seeing as I need storage areas I went and deleted the library and created a different one and ran into the same issue. So I deleted that library as well and then fully shutdown groupwise and restarted.
Upon restarting the POA is the only agent that won't start.
There are no logs so I went to the agent/bin directory and ran:
./gwpoa -home /our/poa/home/dir
This gives me the following error:
Machine class not defined in area definition (C06B).
The only way to start the POA is with ./gwpoa /noconfig -home /our/poa/home/dir
Hopefully I'm just missing something here. Although I deleted those libraries, they're still showing up in the client but not console1. They also show as having files in them now (guessing residing in the po). I've since run several gwchecks and created a new library with a storage area. That library actually works proper.
With that said, why do I still get this error when starting the poa, how do I remove those ghost libraries (or make console1 see them), and should I be worried that I'm running the poa with /noconfig?Have you checked TID 10099631?
Also check Novell Doc: GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 1: Error Messages - C06x Errors
PS: If you know the names those two libraries used to have what you can try is creating them again in ConsoleOne using their names, remove the documents on them and cleanly deleting them afterwards.
Hope it helps.
Roberto.

So although all GW checks comeback clean now, the POA still will not start with the same error of:
Machine class not defined in area definition (C06B).
Is there any other way of manually telling the POA that those 2 libraries don't exist? Is there anyway to remove the references to those libraries or the documents they may have that it keeps finding?

Slideshow won't start and / or slide order is wrong
I have multiple slideshows that I created in iPhoto'09. After I "upgraded" to iPhoto'11- some of my slideshows won't open. When I click on them I get the rainbow pinwheel of doom and need to force quit out of iPhoto. Other slideshows the slide order is completely wrong. I even went in and deleted my photos and replaced them and even then a few days later and they are all mixed up again.
I tried rebuilding my library already and that did not seem to work. I am even unable to delete my slideshows-as when I select the slideshow I get the pinwheel of doom again.
Arrghhhh- Have to say very disappointed in Apple on this one- overall iPhoto'11 has been completely unstable- this feels like something Microsoft would pull off.> {quote:title=FrankieCz wrote:}{quote}

Mac Pro won't start and display has no signal?
My Mac Pro goes to sleep and won't start. The display doesn't have a signal. What is wrong?
After a few hours of trying to work things out...I've discovered its related to the ATI Radeon 2600 HD XT Card (dual cards and monitors). Once I remove one card from each machine the systems started but the monitors remained in what looks like suspended mode display "No signal".
Tried to download firmware update. My system wouldn't allow the installer to work. Apparently already have the firmware.
The Display icon shows only four choices for the monitors resolution. On my working systems there are at least 15 resolution settings. Where is the ATI Radeon software on the system. The About this Mac doesn't show any Graphics or Display information. -
Mac Mini won't start and constantly makes disc ejecting noise
My Mac Mini won't start. It was working fine, then just locked up and won't start again. When I push the start button it just makes this repeated disc ejecting noise from the DVD drive. It doesn't make the chime noise or display anything on the monitor. I've disconnected the optical drive, but it didn't help. Then it just doesn't start at all. I thought that if I would disconnect the optical drive, that it would ignore it and just boot off the hard drive, but nothing happened. The power light comes on. Then, if I hold down the power button for 10 seconds it shuts down. The fan operates. It just never attempts to boot up. I can't put in a system DVD because the optical drive is just in eternal eject mode.
If you have any suggestions let me know. Thanks.I have the same situation.
I think the drive thinks it has a disc to eject or part of the mechanism is stuck and can't return to it's resting position. I was going to disconnect as you tried but now I think I'll try to disassemble the drive to see if there might be some debris jamming things up.
Please let me know if you solve the problem.
