Id "c1" is refreshing to fast, disabled for 5 minutes

Does anyone know how to fix this. I found one article on this online, but it said to comment out the offending virtual terminals. This is happening on all of them (c1 - c6), it says.

There is probably something wrong with your getty (agetty is the default one). The way init works is that if agetty on a virtual terminal end (or crashes), it is restarted again. Usually, this only happens when you log out, but if there's a problem with it, it just keeps crashing, being restarted, etc... If this keeps happening for a (short) while, init disables that terminal, and you get the message you posted above.
Check the logs. Check that agetty is working (it's in util-linux-ng package). Check your inittab.

Slim "Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"

Hello Everyone,
Slim "Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"
This error drives my crazy I changed to slim after the recent change of gdm.
Since I changed, when I boot my PC this error always occurs. Only solution so far is either to wait for 5 minutes or to change to another TTY#, login and try init 3 and then init 5 (which only works sometimes but most of the time delivers the same error).
The error doesn't occur when I REboot the PC.
I start slim via inittab with "x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
I already tried the German Arch-Forum but got no reply.
There is a topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81159 with the "solution" to change inittab
"x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
to
"x:5:once:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
but this doesn't work for me, slim then refuses completly to start.
I'd prefer to use the inittab method and not the daemon method...
Thank you in advance

Hi,
"generally" X seems to work fine. I use Openbox without any problems. If I try /usr/bin/slim from init 3 it says: "Stale lockfile found, removing it" and then nothing happens - the console just stays on.
I haven't changed my Xorg for ages, I still use the same X configuration (besides updates) that I had years ago with kdm and then with gdm. Even when I switched from gdm to slim I just follwed to wiki and changed the Inittab line from gdm to slim.
Heres my Inittab and my Xorg.conf (to be honest I'm not really fit with Xorg configuration...)
To be sure, I just created a (very basic) new Xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig.

EDIT: It seems to work now! Slim started without any errors. I will test that for some days to see if the problem is really gone now.
Just out of curiosity:
A lot seems to have changed in Xorg.conf since my old ~2years old config was made.
I had to turnoff boot logo manually and set Option "Composite" "Enable" but now everything seems to work by default?
Do you see any flaws in my xorg.conf? Any ideas for improvements (except metamodes)?

"INIT: id "x" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minute"

Hello Archers!
This is my situation… I am running ArchBang! On my Acer Aspire Timeline with all Intel, 320HD, 3GB Ram DDR2 and Intel Mobile 4 Series Express Chipset Family GMA 4500MHD (GM45) 64bit. I understand that this may not be the appropriate place to post my thread but this Forum is my last Resource!
I removed Vesa driver (# pacman –R xf86-video-vesa) and install the Intel driver available in the repositories (# pacman –S xf86-video-intel) then I edit my /boot/grub/grub.cfg and deleted: xorg=vesa nomodeset.
Rebooted and I see the changes right away fonts are looking wonderful but after all deamons finish running I go into this command login screen! Rather than my login manager to then go into my OpenBox window manager. And so I get this weird message "INIT: id "x" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minute"
I tried uncommenting in my slim.conf:
#/etc/slim.conf
Daemon yes
Per suggested in the ArchBang! forums
I also tried the KMS per the Archwiki Intel… https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel
One thing I did not try was installing lib32-intel-dri because my system is 64 bit. But I don't think this step is necessary. Is it?
I have tried other things but have not been successful. Please Help! Any suggestions/guidance and/or tips are highly appreciated.
Happy Holidays,
Luis Caballero

IPod Touch disabled for 4342386 minutes!

So last night I let my iPod Touch chrage overnight, when I woke up and turned it on, it said it was disabled for 4342386 minutes. When I try to sync it with my computer, it wont let because its says I need to enter the passcode first on the iPod...Is there anything I can do to dump it and restore it? I have tried restarting it 10 times but same result so any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gus

Hey finnpoika19,
Try connecting the iPod to the computer you normally sync with. After disconnecting from the computer you normally sync with, you should be able to try again.
This article provides more information and describes how to restore the iPod touch, when its in this state. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

Hello Jesslocko,
Before following the iPad Restore process make sure you have updated version of iTunes installed on your computer, to check that Open iTunes on your computer click on Help and then check for updates ( If there is any updates available then Install it ) and If you do not have iTunes Installed or if you want to directly update the version of your iTunes then Download and Install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
1. Make sure your device (iPad) is unplugged (Disconnected) from your computer (this should be the computer that you use to sync your iPad or you can use any other computer with iTunes installed in it). You can leave the USB cable connected to your iPad though.
2. Turn off your iPad. Press and hold the power button on the top edge until a slider appears. Slide it from left to right to power off your device. If the slider doesn't appear (because your iOS device has frozen up) then hold the power and Home buttons down until the iPhone or iPad turns off.
3. Ensure your device has a decent amount of charge. Leave it plugged in to the mains for 10 minutes or so if you see the flat battery icon. (iPad low battery)
4. Hold down the Home button (the round button at the bottom of your iPad screen) and connect the other end of USB cable to the computer this should cause your iPhone or iPad to turn on. Keep holding the Home button until you see the iTunes and USB cable images on your iPad screen, then release the button.(iPad recovery mode)
5. In iTunes (launch the application if it isn't running on your Computer), you should see a message saying an iPad has been found in recovery mode.
6. Click OK and then click on Restore to bring your iPad to Factory settings

Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode.

Iphone disabled for 1 minute

Hi all.
I have an iPhone 5 with IOS. 8.2.
Last night, I got the message "iPhone disabled. Try again in 1 minute" after I received a call and tried to call back.
It was on the counter next to me and no one touched it. No passcode was entered, let alone bad ones.
Also, it is NOT Jail broken. Any ideas why this occurred?
Thanks
Joe

Aliens from another dimension. Or a domesticated cat, but that's essentially the same thing.
Seriously, if this occurred only once there I would not be concerned.
Restart the iPhone. If it happens again, become concerned.

IPod Touch disabled for 4961238 minutes

I don't have 4961238 minutes to live, but my iPod says that's when I should try to use it again.
I haven't used it in a while, so I got it out to use it to find this message. And in that time, fortunately, my warranty expired. Is there anything I (or anybody) can do short of buying a new iPod to salvage this thing?
P.S. 29 dollars to get help from an Apple Expert is ridiculous.

You will probably need to try to restore it.
If you do this, it will restore the ipod to factory settings and erase everything.
