i have tried uninstalling it, and rebuilding it, and i get the same result.
any one had any similar problems? and know a fix?
thanks, mark.

edit: i found a fix, if you start nscd by running:
/etc/rc.d/nscd start
before you fold it works

Lack of 3g after system update

Hello :-)
It's problem with Xperia E dual
Few days ago I updated the system to the 4.1.1 version (compilation 11.3.A.1.39).
Unfortunatelly after updating I've discovered that smartphone don't works with 3G. On the display I've only icon "E". Before updating there was typically "H". Of course now the transfer is slower than before and of course I'm not happy of that.
I try to solve this problem - choose in menu list of available provider and... there are only 2G nets. Because I've functioning still in the same place of live and the problem has occured after the updating I'm sure that it's strictly connected.
Is there any solution for that?
Another problem is with trying to call. After system updating typically twice a day I have to restart smartphone because it's totally hanged. No one can connect with me and I can't call to anybody. Smartphone looks normally and doesn't give any siglan that something is wrong. But when I try to connect to somebody I direst the number and... there is no signal at all. After few seconds telephon return to main menu. There is also no record about this trial of connection in the list of done connections. It's very uncomfortable situation.
Sure, there are also some adventages with the system updating but problems mentioned above are really annoing.
Have you any solutions for it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, try repairing phone software with PC Companion or Update Service.
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Be aware that this will erase phone data completely, backup if necessary.
Before proceeding with software repair, confirm with your Network Operator that there is nothing wrong with the network. Also, remove and reinsert SIM card and try again (have a close look at the contact surface, ensure that it is relatively clean).
Don't forget to mark correct answer as Accepted Solution.

[SOLVED] tp_smapi fails after system update (to 2.6.39)

I am currently running Arch Linux on my ThinkPad X41.
I am having troubles trying to get tp_smapi work on my system after the full system update that I did yesterday. I jumped from (12.2010) 2.6.36 to kernel 2.6.39. Since yesterday, tp_smapi was working perfectly, but after the update, it seems that the new kernel cannot recognize the tp_smapi module. I tried to remove and insert it again with modprobe tp_smapi, but I am getting: "FATAL: Module tp_smapi not found" every time.
As I have build tp_smapi from AUR, I removed it with pacman -Rd tp_smapi and installed my package again. Even removed hdapsd and reinstalled it again after tp_smapi and I am getting the same - the module could not be found.
I saw that there is a slightly newer tp_smapi in AUR, but currently I am not able to build the package, as I am getting some build() errors like: "gcc: error -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible."
This PKGBUILD seems a patch for 2.6.37 kernel and probably could not build directly under the new kernel. Anyway, I am still not able to bring the good old tp_smapi to working condition.
Anyone with a working solution about this?
edit: I have posted this in another thread, but hope this should be useful in a separate topic.

Hey, SUCCESS out here...
@whompus, thanks so much for the precious advices and clues.
First, I looked into this thread (very useful as well): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=80138
Following it, I found out a new gcc CFLAG argument, primary used in newer gcc versions (after gcc v4.2)
-march=native
According to the information, given it should automatically detects the features your CPU supports and sets the options appropriately.
Setting my /etc/makepkg.conf accordingly, and adding some other useful options, my tp_smapi package build succeded.

Excite PRO 3G connection not work after system update

Hello, I live in Italy and on last Sunday (january 26th) my Excite PRO tablet (model AT10LE-A-10H) got the Android version 4.3.201121220.35. After restart my wifi works fine, all other app work fine, but my 3g connection doesn't work, mobile network bar is empty and it says "no service". My sim card is ok. I used this sim card before the system update and I didn't get any problem with Android 4.2.2.
Please help me I'm waiting for your help.
Thank you
Regards

This is the forums for Toshiba USA. Unfortunately, we don't have informaiton about your model. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. You could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

I updated to Snow Leopard and everything was fine. After I launched System Update to finish the update, I installed a few ones then I rebooted.
At the login I realized that some of the keys didn't work anymore. Namely
0 = P ] ; \ / ENTER
those what I found.
With the help of the virtual keyboard I was able to take a look at the log and I noticed that the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDKeyboard.kext was updated just before the last working configuration...
Luckily I had a bootable backup of the system before Snow Leopard, so I boot from the external USB drive and copied the old AppleHIDKeyboard.kext in place of the new one, that I saved with .bak extension.
I rebooted and the keyboard was properly working again.
I think my fix is "dirty". I experienced some slowdowns here and there and I found a log message stating:
com.apple.kextcache[271] AppleHIDKeyboard.kext does not declare a kernel dependency; using com.apple.kernel.6.0.
I'm wondering why the keyboard stopped working and if there is a better way to fix it.
Any comment? (Please)
All log messages containig "keyboard" follows
Thanks

It is never a good idea to mix system components like kext's from different OS X versions. If you right-click on for instance the AppleHIDKeyboard.kext & choose "Show contents" you will see that it is a bundle composed of many individual files. Many of these files contain information about files in other OS bundles. Similarly, other OS bundles may contain info about the files in this bundle. This tells the OS what +set of files+ it can & can't use for various functions.
IOW, kext's are not self-contained, functionally independent items. When you replace one with one from a different OS version, its info about other files usually won't be right. This can & very often does cause problems. Some are minor but others can cause progressively greater problems, eventually damaging the OS enough that it becomes inoperative.
So, your fix is almost certainly "dirty."
It's also not addressing the source of the problem. There is nothing wrong with Snow Leopard's AppleHIDKeyboard.kext file (version 1.2.0). Snow Leopard works perfectly well with my & thousands of other users' MacBooks. The cause of your problem could be many things, but this is not one of them. If you can accept that, there are several things you can do to find the cause, starting with running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it finds up any problems with your MacBook.

BannerMaker not working after system update.

Hello all,
I am not trusting Apple now for system updates anymore, because the last couple of updates, after updating my system software, I have problems. I never have these issues with Windows.
Getting to my point, I use BannerMaker (an app created by some Fed agency that I had found googling because Apple doesn't support it as standard, and Windows already had this for years to comply with DOD requirements) to use for a login warning legal note, etc. This goes on to the login window only when you disable the icon/name login. I was in the process of updating it and it told me that the loginwindow.plist wasn't found. I found it on the Spotlight, but I had no way of changing it.
I should also note that after the system update, the login process reverted back to the icon/name login, which never happened. I always require me and another user to type their username because to protect the user's privacy.
How can I get BannerMaker to work again, or how can I get into that file so I can change it and I also want to know if other users had their loginwindow settings mysteriously affected by the update?
I am really disappointed by the lousy updates that paralyzes my security and other issues with previous updates, which I won't get into. I am disappointed with Apple right now.
Steven

I had a feeling that was going to happen. Well I just don't have the patience to do that. Apple needs to go onto the Windows system that you could delete specific updates rather than reinstalling the system software. And I also don't like how updates affect work around apps, how they close them down because they are not authorized software. I need a secure system, and Apple won't let me. **** to screw with them, I might just give my mother my MacBook and I go get a Windows notebook. I had nothing but problems since I got this MacBook.

My iPad will not sync after system update and returns message that my computer is no longer authorised.

Please help me sync my iPad as it is not able to sync after a system update. Several messages 1. Computer no longer authorised and when I reauthorise it it prepares to sync and then it tells me my iPad cannot be written to,

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Can't boot after system update: unknown filesystem type

After running a system update, including updating the kernel, I can't boot to the new kernel.
On booting, grub loads the kernel image, runs/loads udev, but then fails to mount the root partition with error:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'
I have tried reinstalling the 'linux' package via packman several times, also trying the --recursive argument to make sure all my dependencies were there, and after days of googling and tweaking my system, I'm at a loss.
Thank goodness I happened to keep a spare kernel laying around in /boot.
Thanks in advance.

The OP can read their partition initially though, it's only after udev that they can't.
Also, try adding "rootfstype=ext4" to your grub kernel line. Is your /boot on a separate partition or part of your / partition?

Xperia z1 Problem AFTER system update to latest software 14.3.A.0.681

Hello people, First of all let my just say that I am new into the ''smartphones world'' so please excuse my queries if they proof to be 'obvious' to you! I have carried out a system update to my Xperia Z1 phone yesterday (Android 4.4.2. kitkat, latest available software 14.3.A.0.681). The update seem to have been correctly performed. However I have since encounter the following issues/problems with my phone and do not know how to fix them: 1) First of all my phone will no longer rotate...why is this? Is this related to the update?? Pictures/photos can no longer rotate and also phone screen does no longer rotate! Why is this..? 2) Second the 'Notifications Bar' structure has changed : is this also the result of the update or can I do something in settings to fix it and make it as before? When I scroll dawn the notifications bar, the icons are no longer displayed at the top line but are instead spread underneath BUT this is AFTER I press 'Quick settings'. 3) Battery signal icon has changed completely: no lines included inside icon to show usage but instead usage %age is now displayed. Also, when I charge my phone, there is no icon flashing as before and now lights flashing.. 4) Also when I want to use the phone after it has remained unused for sometime it states 'swipe to unlock' and makes a 'funny' note upon performance of the act: this was not the case before.. Can you please help me with the above? I am freaking out because I am excited with my new phone and would love to make full use of it properly but it is a bit hard for me since I have no clue how to fix issues/problems appearing every now and then since I am new into these things.. Thanking you in advance

Hi there,
I think you have fixed your 1st issue.
2) Yes, Kitkat has changed the Notification Bar structure. Its a bit annoying, but to get around it you can use Widgets - Tools and select the Icon, such as WIFI to be placed on your home screen to avoid multiple clicks. You cant do anything in the settings to make it like before.
3) Battery Signal Icon - Again a Kitkat update has done that. The good thing is that it has enhanced Battery life considerably.
4) I am assuming you are stating about the "sound note" it makes when you swipe in. Thats again a Kitkat feature and you can get rid of it though Sound settings if you dont like it.
Reality is that Kitkat runs very well on Google Nexus 5. Apart from that it has issues on every other Android power Smartphone out there. I also own a Nexus 4 who recently got upgraded to Kitkat and compared it with Nexus 5. Was not impressed to be honest.
As of my upgrade on Z1, I have been facing Volume issues. When I play a video the volume is minimized for some reason. Pause and play again and it goes to Normal. I have to reboot it sometimes to play normally. It also takes ages to connect to my 3G provider, whereas previously it was fast enuf. I hope the next upgrade will fix those issues.

Problems Opening Outlook 2007 after system update

Hi,
I've been running Outlook 2007 on my Windows Vista machine for few years now. Last week a System update occurred and my machine locked up. I was forced to reboot the machine, and I took the option to "restore PC to last known working state"
which turned out to be a mistake - The update made another few changes to my system and since then MS Outlook has continually crashed. It's able to download (and delete) messages from the POP server, but when I navigate to the the Inbox Outlook crashes.
In desperation I've:
1) I've uninstalled Outlook, rebooted, reinstalled Outlook.
The same problem occurred
2) Uninstalled Outlook, renamed the AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook directory, rebooted, reinstalled Outlook.
Ms Outlook keeps trying to find the pst file which no longer exists.
I'm guessing, but are there some settings in the registry which need to be cleared out before I can reinstall. If so, where would they be?

Thanks for getting back to me - and so quickly as well.
I'm now able to launch Outlook, but when I navigate to any of the folders I get a message that says "Microsoft Office Outlook has stopped working" after which I have to close the program again. This was the original problem!
The event viewer doesn't give me much more information:
ID: 6, Application Name: Microsoft Office Outlook, Application Version: 12.0.4518.1014, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.4518.1014. This session lasted 11 seconds with 0 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash.

[solved] Pulseaudio doesn't detect sound card after system update

Before a recent system update I had pulseaudio working flawlessly, but after doing a recent system update with pacman -Syu,
pulseaudio no longer sees my sound card and only displays the Dummy audio device. Among the packages updated that I can
remember off the top of my head are the Linux keneral, udev, kmod, instead of trying to roll back my system I figured I would try
to fix the issue. The only thing suggested in the Pulseaudio wiki is that a asound.conf directory is overriding the /etc/asound.conf
file which is not the case on my system.
Looking at the output from lsmod I can see where the kernel modules for the sound card is getting loaded
snd_hda_intel 23375 0
snd_hda_codec 89160 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
snd_hwdep 6389 1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm 74780 3 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
snd_page_alloc 7153 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
snd_timer 19544 1 snd_pcm
and looking at the output from the ps command I can see that pulseaudio is getting started
1190 ? S<l 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start
1195 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper
but pacmd list still reports this

Can't start gnome-session after system update.

hi all
I have done a whole system update .
pacman -Syu
and now I can't start the desktop environment.
I tried to delete the xorg.conf and create new 1 and then copy it to /etc/X11
X -configure
but that didn't work.
and when I am trying to create new xorg file I got an error message telling me that the number of screens detected is not matched , I am using a laptop .
I checked ~/.xinitrc and /etc/rc.conf and everything is right.
any suggestion??

Wireless problem after system update

After installing system updates to OS X 10.3, the system stopped connecting to my wireless network. I'm pretty sure the updates were the cause, because I downloaded and installed the updates over the wireless network. The problem is not in the network hardware, because I am posting this thread over the same network from and IBM Thinkpad (that still works on the network).
The iBook can see and connect to the network, but it does not recieve and IP address. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I found some fixes to this problem if anyone is interested:
