Have to do alsaconf on every boot [SOLVED]

A couple days ago it told me something about my sound card stopped working and its going to default and i dont have sound on default but if i do alsaconf i get sound back. Problem is i have to do alsaconf every bootup.
I have done alsactl store and whatnot and looked through google for this and saw that someone had listed modules before alsaconf and after alsaconf and blacklisted the modules alsaconf didnt re-activate, but im not sure how to view the running modules.

i did alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store and it didnt save the settings.
my guess is theres a module thats doing it.
going to do an lsmod before alsaconf
lsmod during alsaconf
and an lsmod after to see what needs to die.
edit: ya..theres nothing happening with the modules before,during and after are exactly the same.

Dhcpcd eth0 on every boot SOLVED

Hi, I just installed Duke on my IBM T30 and it won't connect to eth0 automatically.
I have to type "dhcpcd eth0" every boot and it connects OK.
Have I missed a setting somewhere?
Thanks for your help

New storage harddrive has be mounted every boot ... SOLVED

I put a new hard drive in as a slave for data.. used gparted to format it and label it.. but everytime i reboot.. the links to the various folders are empty.. as if its not there.. i have to back to gparted, unmount it, then close gparted and its there and i have to re find the links for wallpapers, and my music to play music or to have switching wallpapers..
any ideas??? I thought once you named it, formated it, via gparted, it was just "there" every reboot?
am i missing something..
I just checked fstab, and it's not there.. just alot of UUID numbers.. how do i add a hard drive??? iread the posts.. and i have no clue what is meant or how to do it???
UUID=64cb2ee2-8132-4632-b1fd-661af630d315 / ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=8bef63b2-e0d2-42a5-b747-7ff8710883a8 /home ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=8ff88b2a-bc7b-42a8-8682-38d7f0c825f9 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=fd64e00d-457d-4c99-8ba7-c790402d66fd /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
I did the above by opening Kate and looking at fstab as a normal user..
the harddrive is working.. i'm playing music from it now.. so i did this command and got the following
-l /dev/disk/by-uuid
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 16 06:59 579a08ea-3bb0-450c-a88e-cf248488c29e -> ../../sdb1

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 16 06:59 fd64e00d-457d-4c99-8ba7-c790402d66fd -> ../../sda1
now I have no idea what to do with this information above and how to add it to fstab ?
do i just add (the sdb1 entry like this) UUID=579a08ea-3bb0-450c-a88e-cf248488c29e / ext4 defaults 0 1
to fstab? if "yes" , then do i put it at the top where it is with that command output, or on the bottom?
its mounted in dolphin as /media/%mystuff so will it look like this instead?
UUID=579a08ea-3bb0-450c-a88e-cf248488c29e /media/%mystuff ext4 defaults 0 1
or
UUID=579a08ea-3bb0-450c-a88e-cf248488c29e /%mystuff ext4 defaults 0 1
i'm totally lost, and i dont want to have to thru mount -a or opening up gparted everything I want to use this data drive with pics, music, documents, etc on it
I just installed autofs (said it automounts even those drives that dont show up in fstab) this didnt work..
i had to open up dolphin and add entry and i hit cancel and everything then showed up?
do i have to go thru this every reboot?
I FIXED IT, by reading the wiki and googling.. added this entry to fstab
UUID=579a08ea-3bb0-450c-a88e-cf248488c29e /media/%mystuff ext4 defaults 0 1
rebooted, voila.. i was about to have a meltdown.. i guess reading is funda-mental !!!
thanks

I have NO idea how that % got in there.. but now I cant rename it to just /media/mystuff
even in root..
why? what's your default shell? in bash:
mv /media/{%,}mystaff
EDIT: of course you have to unmount /media/%mystaff first.

Network fails every other boot [SOLVED]

I seem to have a small prob when I startup my pc the network fails every other time. I had some probs w/ dhcp starting when I used gentoo, and found a workaround, putting "dhcpcd -k" in etc/conf.d/local.stop ran the dhcpcd -k command when I shutdown my pc, apparently arch's syntax is a bit different so I doubt etc/conf.d/local.stop exists, I tried /etc/rc.local.shutdown, but that didn't seem to do it either. Could someone please tell me the arch way to enter this command every shutdown?

I'm having the same problem. My motherbord has two network devices. It seems that the designations (eth0 and eth1) switch every boot. So every other boot eth0=dhcp is the right one.

Check this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ude … _Each_Boot
Thanks.
Altough I find it quite weird they switch like that.
"Because udev loads all modules at once, devices are sometimes initialized in a different order. For example, with two network cards, you may notice they switch designations between eth0 and eth1"
Yeah, I don't buy it. They switched every boot.
I'm trying the udev-sanctified method. Will find out in a day or so (when I (re)boot).

Mac shows iCloud password popup every boot.

I get this popup window every boot.
Why does that window show up?
and How can I fixed it?
+
I reinstalled OS X 10.9.3 today.
Before reinstalling, I didn't see that window.

You are not alone.
This needs an Apple iCloud Guru to clarify & solve.
This first showed up for me in Mavericks 10.9.3, and was not fixed in 10.9.4. Neither was a beta version. Updating to a later version of the OS also fails to resolve this suggesting that perhaps it is the iCloud authentication server that is broke -AGAIN!
Unfortunately the Apple helpdesk knows nothing of this issue, or are trying to keep lit under wraps.
My guess is that some of the downloads from Software Update are in fact experimental builds, Noting that is some countries Apple is playing with two factor authentication, perhaps we have been hit by a build that is trying out an alternative authentication method, that simply keeps failing. Though perhaps it is geolocation triggered, as doing a clean install achieves no improvement.
ICloud, which I prefer to call iClod still has bugs, but unfortunately those best able to fault find the authentication system are not available to users, so getting this bug fixed will involve further contributions from more clued up users.
Unfortunately it seems that the failure manifests in several ways, with at least 3 different, but cryptic seemingly random dialogue boxes appearing in response to entered passwords, and also no apparent response at all, i.e., no change.
What is odd is that one can be successfully signed in to iCoud, able to manage ones account, but unable to successfully verify ones password in the preference pane. Looking deeper in the console loads there is reference to a file not being able to be written. So is this a permissions issue, or is the preferences file to be written missing from the bundle from the iCloud bundle.
And even more oddly when one intentionally enters an incorrect password in the password verification dialogue, iCloud seems to correctly identify it as an incorrect password, suggesting that iCloud recognises a correct password but then fails to complete the verification transaction.
Note this iCloud preference pane userID password verification process is not documented anywhere that I have been able to discover. Is it another inadvertent FEATURE of OS X that was mostly deprecated because it did't work as expected?
One day Apple will wake up and instigate a dedicated iCloud help call centre tasked to ensure that all users have access to this service which has become intrinsic to ownership and use of a Mac.

When I updated my Mac, it won't connect to the internet when I've closed all Safari windows. I have to restart the computer every time to make it work.

Every time I update my Mac different problems occur. This time when I got an update notification, I went ahead and updated what it wanted. Now when I'm done browsing the internet and close the windows and try to open a new one, it says the internet isn't working. I checked the network diagnostics and it says everything is working fine. I've noticed I have to restart my computer every time to get it the internet to work now. This never happened before I did the update.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, launch Safari and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

Unlocked 'internet & network' configurtaion after every boot ?

Hello,
my "internet & network" configuration is unlocked
ater every boot or reboot. If i lock the configurtation
manually and unlock it again, so i will ask to my password.
But after a boot or reboot, there is no password question to open the configuration, this part is unlocked automatically.
What is happend ? Is my system unsecured ?
Thank you for your help and

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Interface builder starts up with an error every boot.

I've got a late 2008 Macbook Unibody 13", and a few months back I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Ever since the upgrade, at every boot up Interface Builder starts up with an error. I've just ignored it mostly, but now I'm getting annoyed with it. How can I find the programs that start up every boot to research this, or stop it from loading Interface Builder every time?

You have to delete it using the minus sign at the bottom. The check/un-check is for hiding items.

Ok, so this was done by Apple by purpose?
To clarify slightly what others have said, Apple licences the grey system discs that come with a Mac for use only with that specific Mac, not for use with any other Mac, even one of exactly the same model. So using them with any other Mac violates the terms of the license & should be avoided. The installer on the grey discs enforces this in part by checking the model of the Mac when it is run & refusing to install anything if the Mac is not the correct model. It displays a warning message that the disc cannot be used with that Mac & the only available option is to quit the installer.
Beyond that, while the grey discs may in fact include & install drivers for the hardware in other, older Mac models, they cannot include ones for Macs using hardware newer than the release date of the Mac they came with. In this case, the other Mac can't even start up from the installer disc & it freezes with a kernel panic before it can run the installer. This seems to be what happened here.

Have to reinstall Flash after every reboot.

Windows 7 - IE9 - Flash version 11.0.1.152 - Plugins and OS up to date - ESET Smart Securty 4
I get prompted to install new version of Flash after a reboot, so it happens at least once a day.
I install Flash and it installs just fine and works until the PC boots up again.
I tried some of the following:
- Use Adobe Flash Uninstall program before installing
- Using standalone install program
- Checked ActiveX Filter and it was off...turning it on causes
   this same behavior, but the problem I have has nothing to do with the filter
Not sure when this started, but the user didn't have this problem until recently.
I am using ESET Smart Security 4. On all our systems, and his PC is the only
one that is having a problem. Need some pretty hard evidence before I bother
with uninstalling ESET just to see if that would help.
The part that is really strange...if I go to manage add-on's while it is working,
I see the Flash player there and Adobe's name there and that it is enabled.
After I reboot and go into the add-on manager, Flash is still there and still
enabled, but it now says "Unknown" instead of "Adobe" and is no longer
listed near the other Adobe programs. But then, when I reinstall it, that gets
"fixed" and now says Adobe again. So it almost seems like an IE9 problem
and possibly a corruption problem. No known problems with the PC. I suppose
that reloading the PC from scratch would fix the problem...at least I hope it would,
but I'm also not ready to do major surgery if there is an easier fix.

Probably should've searched around a bit more. Just saw a similar forum post to my own in which redownloading and burning solved another user's similar issue. As of now I've redownloaded the 64-bit ISO, burned it, and so far so good (at 72% extracting files). I will repost here if it was a success in hopes that other users with a similar issue find this and benefit from it. Hope I didn't just waste anyone's time with a question that had already been answered (haha)

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, formatted it first. Have tried starting it with every possible key and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor.

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, used sata adapter cable to format it for mac first. Connected it and have tried starting it with every possible key combination and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor. A disk is stuck in it so I can't boot from OSX, and yes I have tried every option of starting to try and eject disk but none work. HELP ME!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
If you have a 2010 MBP or later, then you can use Internet Recovery. Start by rebooting the computer. At the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until a Globe appears in the upper part of the screen. This process can take upwards of 15 minutes to get connected to the Apple network servers. You should eventually see the utility screen of the Recovery HD. You may now go about the process to install Mountain Lion:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
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.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Show the boot menu on every boot?

Hi there, i'm wondering if there is a application or method to show the boot menu on every boot instead of having to hold down the the option key?
I apologize if this question may have been asked previously!

Not really although there is a menubar application called QuickBoot you might look at - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
