From KDEmod to KDE, problems

Hi.
I had installed KDEmod and I deleted it yestarday (pacman -R kdemod-uninstall) then i installed kde (pacman -S kde).
But it generated some problems:
- KDM won't start now now:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad no synaptics event device found
(EE) Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
- I can't normally shutdown computer (no option in menu > leave)
- I can't set processor speed for powersave etc.
Please help.

I dis the same as you some time ago, i.e. switched from kdemod to arch kde...I ran the command
pacman -R kde-meta
to solve my problems.   When I tried to simply install kde I ran into a plethora of problems.  Also make absolutely sure that you have no kdemod packages lyinga around before you do the update, run
pacman -Q | grep kdemod
and uninstall all packages.  Also least but not last, make sure you are not in the kde desktop enviroment when you run these commands.  Hope this helps.

  • How do I migrate from KDEMOD back to Arch's KDE package?

    I've been a fan of KDEMOD for a long time, now that they are phasing it out, I'm kinda stuck in the limbo and would like to move to Arch's KDE package, is there a seamless way that you guys can recommend while keeping my KDE configurations?
    Thanks!

    I would back up your ~/.kde4
    cp -vR ~/.kde4 ~./kde4bak
    In theory you should be able to comment out the kdemod repos in pacman.conf and then run
    pacman -Syyuu
    to refresh the databases and downgrade from kdemod.
    You should then be able to install KDE from [extra] or [kde-unstable] if the latter is enabled
    You might also want to get a list of installed KDEmod packages to know what KDE packages to get

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

    Also when I click on the link in my email to activate my account (in the hopes that a solve will be emailed to me) I get this message -
    "Something is wrong
    We could not activate your account. Please make sure that you have clicked the correct link in your email or typed in the correct address."
    Same message if I cut and paste the link.

  • I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago.  I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2).  I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on.  Very annoying.   Suggestions please?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago.  I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2).  I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on.  Very annoying.   Suggestions please?

    What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band?  Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
    The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
    Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
    If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

    If your phone was purchased in the US, yes. Otherwise, no. And, you only need the phone, nothing else.

  • Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

  • Revoke unnecessary privileges from public = enterpise manager problems

    Hi,
    After revoking the execute privilege on the following packages from public I have problems with enterprise manager (DB version 10.1.0.3.0) :
    UTL_SMTP
    UTL_TCP
    UTL_HTTP
    UTL_FILE
    DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT
    I have revoked the privileges via sqlplus:
    revoke execute on utl_smtp from public;
    If I login now on enterprise manager (user sys)
    the home tab on enterprise manager says "Status pending", the performance/administration and maintenance tabs work.
    Does anyone knows how to solve this?
    Thank You.

    I have had pretty good luck with the following - YMMV
    revoke execute on sys.utl_http from public;
    revoke execute on sys.utl_smtp from public;
    revoke execute on sys.utl_tcp from public;
    revoke execute on sys.dbms_random from public;
    revoke execute on sys.utl_file from public;
    revoke execute on sys.dbms_lob from public;
    revoke execute on dbms_job from public;
    grant execute on sys.utl_http to ORDPLUGINS;
    grant execute on sys.utl_file to xdb;

    You may select how and whether Firefox updates, although like most software it may be sensible to keep it up-to-date, it is more likely to remain secure and compatible with other software whilst up to date.

    Hello milkisoo,
    Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused. 
    As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment.  However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear.  This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
    It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order,  resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed.  Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
    Thank you for posting.
