How to deal with video card problem on Thinkpad E420

thinkpad E420 has GMA and a Special video card ATI READON HD 6630
I installed Archlinux and xf86-video-intel
then I go to the AMD offical web site and download video driver for linux64bit 11.8
after I installed it
I cannt login
and report me the gnome was crashed
can anybody help me with this problem?
how to make the two card work
or to disable my ATI card to cold down my laptop
thanks ^^

Maybe not out of the woods yet. I ordered a new video card and installed it today in slot 1 after removing the original one. When booting up I thought I was pressing the PRAM reset but had mistakenly held the "control" key down as well. Needless to say - no monitor start-up.
After restarting a couple of times to no avail I realized my mistake and the next time correctly held the CommandOption+PR keys but interestingly it took a couple of restart chimes before it correctly brought up a gray screen. I then didn't release the keys in time and the next restart chimes the monitor stayed black - after one or two more continuous restart chimes I got the gray screen and everything booted up OK. I no longer have an error message for PCI Cards at System Profiler.
But given that it seemed that the PRAM reset didn't consistently activate a signal to the monitor, I am a little anxious that I have been chasing the wrong problem - that maybe it's been a PRAM or other problem all along and not necessarily the monitor. I do have that case where the System Profiler gave me an error message for the PCI Cards selection under Hardware in System Profiler, but I'm left wondering if problem solved.
Any easy way to debug PRAM - where is PRAM data stored?
I will report back if I get another black screen on restart or wake up...

    The information you provided is totally useless for determining the problem.
    If it helps, I think the message you are getting is related to BlazeDS not being able to find the service class you are calling. You either have a typo somewhere, or you didn't set up a secure channel in your service config (I am assuming you meant SSL and not SSH).

  • How to deal with this problem?

    How to deal with this problem?
    We plan to use Oracle Coherence (In Memory Data Grid) for a large-scale application. In order to keep the database table data in Coherence caches, we will create all the corresplonding Java objects (entities) and construct the persistence system using JPA/EclipseLink+JDBC. In this way, any in-memory object update will be persisted to the corresponding database tables.
    The problem is that some existing application codes are updating these database tables directly now. If the direct-database-table update is not permmited in the persistence environment, we have to discard most of the existing application scripts.
    I want to know, in this situation, should I discard most of the existing scripts?
    Are there any other solutions?

    Allowing writes from both cache & DB is possible with its own set of issues.
    The main issue to consider is conflicts from updates on same record via both cache and DB. If your caches are write-through the conflict decreases - but then cache writes become slower. If your caches are write-behind potentially the older cache update will overwrite the latest DB update. Now you are back to Database 101 -- timestamps, versions, etc...
    If you use a DB trigger to initiate the resync request you might want to distinguish whether the update has come from the cache-store (in which case, you may choose to do nothing), or if the update was from the 'existing apps', etc...
    If you choose to inject the resync logic at the application code level - you have the usual sourcecode issues - can you modify the code, is all the DB code localized, what options do you have to link with Coherence functionality (DLL, external proc, webservice, etc), etc... Naturally though, if you have to make substantial changes to signal a resync....you might consider taking the extra step and change the code to write to the cache.

  • Problems with video card in CS4

    I'm having what I think is video problems since I switched to CS4. No problems with CS3 before, or any other programs except CS4, now. Frequent apparent redraws leave remnants on screen, panels move back and forth, etc.
    I have a Dell Precision 490 with 4gb ram and a nVidia Quadra fx 550 with 128 megs of ram. Open GL is enabled. I have loaded all the latest nVidia drivers.
    If this sounds like a video card problem, can anyone recommend a good, not too expensive card? I don't play any games, just use the machine for PS. ID and Flash mostly.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jon

    I am having the same problem with CS3 and CS4. Any luck on fixing your problem?

  • MacBook Pro 15" video card problems (i think)

    Can anyone tell me if this is indeed a video card problem?
    MBP 15" info (Dec. 2011)
    Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    OS X Lion 10.7.5
    This is what happened:
    I use my mbp heavily because I edit a lot of videos with Premiere. I also use lightroom / photoshop alot + games. I also installed Parallels desktop late 2013. I don't know if that is relevant but anyway. Everything started late 2013 (a little after installing parallels actually) when there are moments when the audio wouldn't work and I couldn't adjust the volume. It would come back anyway so i didn't mind it. Then the fans were on high speed for little activity. After that the keyboard backlight couldn't be adjusted and wouldnt work. I ignored all of these cuz i wasn't troubling me at the time. In January i left for france to study - I use bike all the time and once stupidly placed my laptop on the basket going to school (rough roads). I had a class with html so I had to open Parallels, my teacher pointed out the fans and how loud they were. That day, parallels desktop said i must upgrade to windows 9 or it will restart every 2hours. I didn't of course. I didn't have time to.
    After that (a few days later i think) my laptop would randomly turn into a black screen but it's still on (the power LED is on) I tried turning it off by pressing down the power button and then turning it back on. It worked the first time. During the first week, the frequency of it happening grew. It would do it almost 3 times a day. during that same week I tried to do an SMC reset. It fixed the keyboard light, fans and audio but not the black screen thing. It just keeps on happening around 1-3 times a day. It only happens when I'm using it btw, never when I just leave it. ALSO, after a few days, it would take longer hours to open my mbp again. I mean, the screen would turn black. i would turn it off, then on again. I will ONLY hear the hard drive moving but no startup sound and no grey screen and apple logo. nothing.
    The following weeks after that, I asked a friend to help me out. He suggested that I install gfxCardStatus because he said it might be my video card. He instructed that I keep it on intergrated only. So I installed that and did what he said I thought it worked for a while because the black screens stopped happening (even when gfx keeps on going back to dynamic) BUT NOW, MY LAPTOP WOULD FREEZE (not turn black). I'd shut it down using the power button but it still takes me hours to open it again. Sometimes, I'd wait for the battery to drain because it would startup when i charge it (sometimes)
    I tried doing AHT as well to confirm the video card problem, but the results are no problems found. I really don't want to replace my logicboard here in france. everything is more expensive here. ;__;
    Today I uninstalled parallels to see if that might have had anything to do with my problem now but i think that's just wishful thinking.
    Can somebody tell me if this is really about the video card? Thank you

  • How to deal with OpenCL grey out issue.

    First off, I'm not native english speaker.
    I have Nvidia GeForce 550 Ti video card, and its support OpenCL v1.1.
    I'm also face a "random" OpenCL grey out issue like other people here, but I found the "issue" and how to deal with.
    open a command windows (using WinKey + R, and type cmd <enter>)
    type "cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)" <enter>
    type "sniffer_gpu" <enter>  -->> to check your GPU has OpenCL in Photoshop?
    When GPU is in power-saving mode (core running in 51Mhz, using MSI Afterburner monitor), I running sniffer_gpu, got this report
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>sniffer_gpu

    Return code: 3

    OpenCL support !!
    Nowadays, most of new GPUs were support power-saving, but when sniffer_gpu running at GPU power-saving state, the OpenCL computing report maybe "time-out", cause the detector "guess" the GPU does not support OpenCL. This is why many people says "OpenCL" sometimes work, sometimes grey-out.
    I hope this bug can be fixed, or at least people can understand how to "enable OpenCL everytime when you launch photoshop".

  • HOW TO FIX 5610XM Memory Card problem

    Without long introduction I just want to say how to do that, because it is annoying that you just can't use memory card
    So it's really simple, you have problem with memory card it self OR your back cover.
    Back cover has a small plastic thingy witch let's memory card to be readed, If it somehow fails to do it's job, then you have to do it by your self useing something like a isolated wire, to put it in that plastic things place, and then put the back cover on it.
    I finally can use my memory card so I am really happy, and I hope this will helps for you as well :]

    The newer video cards are plug and play.  The only thing that you have to do is install the latest video driver that comes on a DVD with the video card or from the manufacturer's website.
    There are two main things to consider when buying a video card:
    1. The length of the card.  It is important for the card to fit into the space provided and have good airflow.
    2. The wattage required to run the card properly.
    Because of the age of your computer, I believe that the power supply unit (PSU) is either 250W or 300W.  You can find this information by reading the label on it.  Most of the newer cards require at least 400W to run properly.
    One other concern for buying a new video card is, does it require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  I know that the last EVGA video card to work with a standard BIOS is the GT 640.
    Here is a guide that will help you understand how to replace a video card or other Expansion cards.
    If you are not comfortable with working on a computer it would be advisable to find a certified computer repair shop.  It will cost you more money, but will save possible problems.

  • How to deal with deadlock on wwv_flow_data table when http server times out

    There are some threads about a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table. None of them contain a real explanation for this behaviour. In my case I will try to explain what I think is happening. Maybe it helps somebody who is hitting the same matter.
    In my case with APEX 3.2.1 I am navigating from one page to another. Doing this APEX will lock the table wwv_flow_data. As soon as the other page is shown the lock will be released. But now this other page contains a bad performing query (standaard report region). After 5 minutes the http server (modplsql) will time out and present the message "No response from the application server" on the screen. In the meanwhile the query is still running on the database server and the lock stays on the wwv_flow_data table.
    Normal user behaviour will be that the user will use the back button to return to the previous page and tries it again to navigate to the other page or
    the user will try to refresh the page with the bad performing query.
    And voila now you will have a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table since a second session is trying to do the same thing while the first hasn't finished yet.
    How to deal with it?
    First of all. Have a good look at the bad performing query. Maybe you can improve it that it will succeed before the http server will timeout.
    In my case the 11gr1 optimizer couldn't handle a subquery factoring clause in the best way. After changing it back to a classical inline query the problem was solved.
    Secondly you could increase the timeout parameter of the http server. Although this not the best way.
    Maybe it would better if APEX in a next version would release the lock on the table wwv_flow_date earlier or do a rollback just before the moment that the http server is timing out.

    Mathieu Meeuwissen

    Hello Shmoove,
    I saw your reply here and you probably understand the problems the HTTP 100 response may cause.
    I am trying to send image that was taken by getSnapshot. The problem is that the server respond with this HTTP 100 message.
    I suspect that the reason that my server doesn't recognize the file that I'm sending from J2me is that the "server to client" response to the 100 message comes after the second message of (see what the TCPIP viewer shows down here):

  • How to deal with "Error 1001. The specified service already exists" when install a service using installer package?

    Hi everybody,
    I wrote a "Class Library" project which is a service using Visual Stodio 2008 recently, then tried to use a Visual Studio 2008
    Setup Project to install it.
    Here is what I did for the "Class Library":
    1. Finish the program.cs, Service.cs
    2. Add Installer
    3. Change the serviceInstaller so that "StartType" to be Aotumatic
    4. Change the ServiceProcessInstaller2 so that "Account" to be LocalSystem
    5.
    6. Click in F5 (Start Debugging)
    Here is what I did for the Setup Project:
    1. Add the exe file built from the "Class Library" project to the Application Folder
    2. On the Custom Action Editor, add the exe file from 1 to Install and Commit
    3. Change the property of the project so that "RemovePreviousVersion" to be true
    4. Click on F6(Build Solution)
    Then I tried to run the msi file from the built of the Setup Project. Because I modified the two projects serveral times, I uninstalled the Class Library using "Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs" before I reinstall. Two things I notived:
    1. After unstall, the registry was not cleaned up about the installed program
    2. After several rounds install/uninstall, I got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
    My questions are:
    1. How to cleanup the registry when uninstall a program?
    2. How to deal with the "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"?
    3. Did I do anytbing wrong with the "Class Library" or the "Setup Project"?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Simon, not a problem!
    I spent some more time on this and here are few more notes:
    it is called Major Upgrade, when you are installing new version of the product upon a previous one and
    MSI supports 2 strategies:
    Strategy 1. Install a new version and uninstall previous one. (Install a new version right upon previously installed version (file merging is performed based on dll version number) and the delete previously
    installed files)
    Strategy 2. Uninstall previous version and install a new one (Delete all previous files and install from scratch new files.)
    From the first look it seems that 1st strategy is weird and buggy. But, remember, MSI is great because it's transactional!!! That means that if once some of the phases (Installation, Uninstallation, Rollback, Comit) fails, your machine
    will be reverted to the previous state and it'll be still functional. 
    Let's consider both strategies:
    Consider you have installed product_v1.msi and you want to install product_v2.msi.
    Strategy 1
    1. MSI engine copies files from Product_v1 directory to TEMP directory
    2. MSI engine merges files based on the assembly version (between v1 and v2)
    3. Once merging is completed successfully it removes files in TEMP (RemoveExistingProducts  action triggers it) and you got product_v2 installed, otherwise if it fails MSI engine revert machine to V1 and copies previous files from TEMP.
    Strategy 2
    1. MSI engine tottaly removes all files from v1.
    2. MSI engine installs v2 files and if something goes wrong you cannot revert back, because RemoveExistingProducts  allready worked out and MSI doesn't have files to revert machine back
    I recommend to everybody to use Strategy 1 and leverage MSI transaction functionality. And you can set this strategies by defining sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. See more info
    here.  So, I think it's not even a bug in VS as I said in the upper post it is default recommened behaviour.
    AND, you got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
    because if we follow Strategy 1 MSI engine tries to install Windows Service on top of the existing service and OF COURSE it fails MSI engine (StopServices, DeleteServices actions are executed before actual
    installation and  they look at ServiceControl table). In order to stop service first and delete them you have to fill ServiceContol table of the MSI (and then StopServices, DeleteServices actions will recognize what to they have to stop
    and delete), like this:
    *clip*clip*clip*
    ' see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371634(v=vs.85).aspx for more info
    ' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while uninstalling
    query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD_Service', 'Service name', '160', '', '1', '"
    + componentName + "')"
    Set view = database.OpenView(query)
    : CheckError
    view.Execute : CheckError
    ' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while installing
    query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD2_Service', 'Service name', '10', '', '1', '"
    + componentName + "')"
    Set view = database.OpenView(query)
    : CheckError
    view.Execute : CheckError
    *clip*clip*clip*
    We can uninstall service first by following Strategy 2, but then we lose transactional support.
    So, Simon did I encourage you to change your code a bit?:)
    And, btw, if you don't want to change the strategy, please don't rely on SequenceID in MSI table, it can be change, you have to get the at the runtime.
    Hope it will help to everybody!
    See also more advanced explanation of how MSI works
    here.

Should I add a lot of delete commands in the code for each table?Uh, well, yes if you continually add rows to a table the table will grow ... sooner or later you will want to delete rows that are no longer needed. What did you expect? You have to decide what the business rules are to determine when a row can be deleted, and make sure your design allows for such rows to be identified. This is called ..... analysis and design.

    how to deal with this storing and then the retriving from the oracle DB
    any help please!

    If I understand well your problem, you need your client java application to store and retrive information from an oracle DB.
    This can be done via JDBC.
