How do I debug acpi crashes (happening since kernel 2.6.27).

Hello there,
as you can guess I am a relatively new arch linux user and have now experienced my first major problem. I am experiencing regular acpi crashes (at least I think that is what happening, dmesg at least shows nothing) since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.27 (everything worked before then). What is happening, is that my Battery and AC modules seem to stop working after a random amount of time, mostly few minutes after booting. acpi -V shows the correct values in the beginning, and then stops working telling me the ac-adapter is offline and there is no battery. Reloading the modules doesn't seem to solve it.
The first thing I did was to recompile my dsdt (a belinea (former maxdata) o.book 4, nobody seems to have one so I was on my own) - that got rid of some warnings, but there were no major errors from the beginning. I got it error and warning free - but that didn't really do anything.
Now I would like to get some info why acpi is crashing, but I have no idea how I can get a stacktrace or something that would maybe point in the right direction. Is there a way to do that ? (I hope without compiling a custom kernel with debug support). I am not really hoping that I can figure it out - but maybe it is something obvious or some module. I tried upgrading to 2.6.28 (zen), that unfortunately didn't fix my problems though.
Anybody here with some ideas ?

bah! more breakage! It's so annoying, I'm never fortunate enough to experience or be able to reproduce these bugs, which makes most of them a pain to debug! I must be the only Linux user irritated that his wireless driver is stable and reliable (ipw2100).
I can't do anything at the moment due to exams. I'll look into this in a few weeks. My fingers are crossed that the wpa_supplicant/dbus connection method is more reliable..... it should be. I'll post my scrappy prototype/pseudocode up in case anyone wants to clean it up/test it before I get a chance.
dhcpcd not working at boot, but working later
I was debugging this one with someone on IRC, it's a fucked up wierd bug that isn't netcfg. Seems that dhcpcd simply just doesnt work for a period of time... it's like the driver needs some time to settle or something before it can be used. Try putting net-profiles at the end of your DAEMONS=()
PeteMo: Random connection loss = driver or network issue, often poor reception.

Since kernel 2.6.21 - acpi doesn't recognize my battery

Hi,
Since upgrading to kernel 2.6.21 my battery is no longer recognized. Usually in /proc/acpi/battery/ I have two folders: BAT0 and BAT1.
With kernel 2.6.21 this has changed so that I now only have /proc/acpi/batter/BAT1, which represents a battery slot where there is no battery. Where did BAT0 go?
The consequence is that gnome-power-manager now thinks that my laptop has no battery present. Reverting to kernel 2.6.20 solves the problem
Kind regards,
Simon

Yes, I did notice the message about acpi being modularized since kernel 2.6.20.7. The kernel that I reverted to was kernel 2.6.20.10.
I get the following message about batteries from /var/log/messages.log after a boot up (cat /var/log/messages.log |grep BAT):

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out at times and I loose all the pages I had open. How can I stop this from happening?

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out, when I reopen it all of my pages are gone. How do I stop this from happening?

But if iit won't stay open, then it's quitting unexpectedly which is the same as a crash.
There has to be a reason for that which a crash report should reveal.
Check ~/Library > Logs > Diagnostic Reports

How should I debug a PVM that is crashing & rebooting too fast ?

I have a newly created oel4u6 PVM that appears to be starting but then crashing & rebooting too fast and I don't know how to best debug it. The vm is a P2V'ed oel4u6 HP Blade that successfully boots as a HVM but I can't seem to get it to fully start as a PVM (I have several clones that I am working with to contrast/compare).
I can't seem to get the console to start fast enough to show me anything useful as the crash is within seconds.
I likely can flip the VM back to HVMPV mode or HVM and boot to the original kernel but if I boot to another kernel I am not sure what files in the VM (if any) may give any insight on the failed starts/crashed.*
Anyone have any ideas/recommendations on how to debug this?*
The message from xend.log is:
[2013-03-31 07:45:32 3273] WARNING (XendDomainInfo:2131) Domain has crashed: name=0004fb0000060000b0d58463f621a2a3 id=37.

More details as to the specific HVM kernel & PVM kernel & the process I used to get the PVM to at least get to load grub are in this thread looking for a good step-by-step guide on the recommended process:

Assuming AVG is involved there is a new patch which may resolve the issue. Update AVg before attempting to recover the library.

That is a very good warning provided by the Download Statusbar extension. Something like that should been built into Firefox. I filed this Bug report a couple of years ago, about the lack of a warning like that. <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480855 <br />
I have looked everywhere that I can think of to find a list of '''IOfficeAntiVirus providers''' ''(as mentioned in the Bug report)'' that will work with Firefox, so I can't answer that for you.
You might want to ask the developer of the Download Statusbar extension about it. He might know which AV programs are compatible with the Windows API that Firefox uses for the download scan. <br />

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

Do you have separate apple Ids? If not, set up a new Id for one of you. Ios 6 uses the apple Id to send messages across devices, that may be the issue you are having.

The crash happened outside the java virtual machine in native code

Hi,
I have a biometric device with which I am given some C++ dlls. I am trying to call methods inside these using java (jna). I am loading the dll "zkemsdk.dll+" as follows:
zkemkeeper INSTANCE1 = (zkemkeeper)Native.loadLibrary("zkemsdk", zkemkeeper.class);//zkemsdk is the dll, I am loading the dll here.
Then, I am calling the function:
zkemkeeper.INSTANCE1.Z_Connect_NETEX("ip address",4370);//Z_Connect_NETEX is a function inside zkemsdk.dll
This returns me true or false based on whether am connected to the biometric device or not.Thus I am able to invoke this method without issues. But for other methods inside the dll, run time exception is thrown in console:
Can someone help me resolve this issue. ??? Following is the content of the log file generated.

It is impossible to say how, where and why. Go back to your code and start debugging I'd say, see where invalid data can be passed to the native code.

Help debugging JVM crash on linux

Does anybody have any tips on debugging JVM crashes?
I have a third-party shared library that I link in and use through JNI bindings.
When I use this third party application with the 1.6.0 JVM on red hat enterprise linux, it causes the JVM to unpredictably SEGV.
I'm stumped, I don't know how to debug this since I don't have source code for either the third-party app or for the JVM.
Even some thoughts about what might cause the JVM to do this would be great. I've looked in depth at signals and signal handling but didn't find anything wrong there.
Help!

Hi there,
Since you said you use JNI, did you try to use the -Xcheck:jni parameter? It will perform some extra consistency checks when calling JNI, at the expense of maybe some loss in JNI performance. This might catch any problems that might occur at the JNI level. Of course, if the third-party library has bugs and corrupts the VM heap, there's no much we can do.

How to investigate an AIR crash on android

I have a chat app in AIR on Android, and it keeps crashing with no warning. AIR Trace messages does not get printed, and I don't get any error while debugging in Flash Builder on device. So, I decided to use adb logcat while debugging, and I have got the following part that I don't understand. I suspect that those numbers can give me some useful info. How can we translate them into something meaningful?
I am using Sony Tablet S. Crash happens usually when a chat has finished and I have done disposing resources (not during disposing, after disposing)
Somewhere in the logcat:
E/NvAudioALSAStreamOut( 102): write: failed to snd_pcm_writei, -32, Broken pipe

AIR components won’t work in web apps. You will have to use some alternative, either a subset of HTML in a text control, or float an HTML div over the Flex content.

How do I post a crash report

Hi, I was trying over the last 10 hours to post a crash report to find out what keep crashing my Safari Browser. So how do I post a crash report on this forum. I have tried 5 times and this is what happens.
( We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon.
Until then, please visit http://www.apple.com/support)
I must be doing something wrong. Thanks for any info.

Yes, BUT there is an even easier way!
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest and greatest Safari report and click on it.
Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
Come back here and Command-v it!

I cannot get apps to appear in my library menu so i can update them through iTunes. Happened since update to 11.0.2.Have tried all the suggested fixes such as making the sidebar appear etc New update is 'nasty'

As stated no matter how hard i try i CANNOT get apps to appear in my sidebar library menu so i can update them through itunes.Has only happened since last update of itunes .Really wish i hadn't updated as i have never had an issue b4.Spent most of day on fone to apple yesterday as the update created an issue that meant i could not sync at all.Anyway thanks to 'james' in arizona we sorted the first piece of trouble the update created .(sortof).
Not sure why it has to be messed with.Well i spose it is progress!!!
I've looked at lots of posts re this and tried all the suggestions but just cannot get the magic 'apps' category to appear in my sidebar in itunes???
One suggestion was that the apps if clicked on would have an 'update ' button but all i can do is delete them
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
(running osx 10.7.5 on MBP -slightly tricky cos i also run windows in a 'bootcamped' partition.Mind u itunes etc is in mac partition and has been working fine for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!)

I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again.

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.
