"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

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)?

Nvidia driver causes "INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast"

Hi. I'm having lot's of trouble getting my nvidia card working. I checked out more threads than I'd like to list. Although there's lot's of stuff on this error, there's little on nvidia (more on radeon, but nothing helped so far). I've looked at
http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=2889
among other arch forum threads and non-arch forum pages too.
This is a new install on an ASUS N53S.
During my initial install of Arch, I went with the xf86-video-intel-sna driver because the wiki recommended installing proprietary nvidia drivers after X is working. The intel driver worked fine and I got my desktop up and running no problem.
But if I try switching to either the nvidia driver (as per the wiki) or the nouveau driver I get this message at startup (and slim fails to start)
INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
If I try "startxfce4", it spits out some stuff, culminating in "Fatal server error: no screens found"
The card is NVIDIA GeForce GT550M
I can't tell if the problem is with the driver, xorg.conf, or slim (or something else). Any help would be great. Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks so much for your help. I just followed the Bumblebee wiki, and it seems to be working.
When I do "optirun glxspheres", it takes 5 or 6 seconds to run the thing. Is that normal?
Also, here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … VIDIA_card
I'm not sure what to make of
options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=0
I check the documentation and their example give values of 0 and 1 respectively. It's clear what the values mean, but I'm not sure WHAT is being referred to as loaded and unloaded. What values are the likely ones that I want?

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.

Start sudden failure: f1 respawning too fast

Hi,
Till yesterday I had a fully working and updated Arch_X86_64/KDE system (inc. pacman 4.0.1-4).
This morning I've tried a full upgrade (pacman -Syu) and:
1. Initially found dependency problems related to (as far as I remember) to one of the gcc libraries. (I removed that library and proceedeed upgrading)
2. A lot of missing or unstrusted. I've run the init key, yet the problem continues.
I decided to reboot intending to rerun pacman -Syu afterwards.
However my system won't boot anymore. It complains as follows:
1. can't open (no such file) libstdc++.so.6
2. "INIT: Id "f1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes."
That's it.
Please advise how to restore full functionality?
Thanks

Please disable signature checking, at least for now. And you shouldn't face the problem. Read the news here:
http://www.archlinux.org/news/pacman-4-moves-to-core/
In fact it's disabled in the default pacman.conf, so you must've enabled it yourself. Disable it and proceed to upgrade the system.

iOS: Unable to update or restore

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU

If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:

Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

Fast change for statistical delivery date in me21n

hi
need fast change for statistical delivery date in me21n
in me21n when i enter on to fast change screen i doesn't find statistical delivery date
can anyone tell me the process
thanks

Dear Anudeep,
You cannot change this via "Fast Change".
Please see the usage of this field.
Calculation of the delivery time is an element in the determination of a vendor's adherence to delivery dates (that is, the vendor's delivery timeliness, or on-time delivery performance) in MM Vendor Evaluation.
If it becomes known that the vendor can only deliver ordered goods some days later than originally stipulated, for instance, you can change the delivery date accordingly for materials planning and control purposes. However, the statistics-relevant delivery
date remains unchanged.
As a result, the vendor's "on-time delivery performance" score worsens. At the same time, it is ensured that materials planning and control works on the basis of the right date.
Regards,
ian, Wong Loke Foong

I can't open my iPad because I forgot my pass and now it's been disabled for about two weeks. How can I open it?

I've been busy with school, thus making me have no time at all to use my iPad. Being the forgetful me, I can't remember my password. I tried entering some of the passwords I used but none of them worked. I forgot the recent password I've been using in my iPad. Now it's been disabled for more than two weeks. I want to use it so badly that I have to reboot it numerous times. What should I do?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
