[KIND OF SOLVED]Updating everything except the kerne

Hey all,
Recently, I updated my system and it automatically updated the kernel to 3.7 (as i remember) but the wifi adapter stopped working. In previous kernel i used the following driver and "modprobe wl" to make the wifi work: Driver. After I updated, modprobe wl didn't work, so I installed the previous kernel. I have 2 questions:
1. How can i make my wifi work?
or if it is not possible... 2. How can I update my system WITHOUT installing the new kernel?
Thanks in advance.

The file /etc/pacman.conf has IgnorePkg and IgnoreGrp settings. You can list the unwanted updates here. Though keep in mind that partial updates are not supported. Also, if you are ignoring something as crucial as the kernel, there are other packages that may depend on the updated kernel. For instance, things like kernel modules will likely be broken, especially between version bumps like 3.6 -> 3.7.
I think in your case though, you are trying to use a kernel module that you had to compile yourself against your kernel. So now that you are updating from 3.6 to 3.7 you now only have a module that is built against 3.6. I think rebuilding the module against the new kernel is going to be not straight forward unless you are comfortable editing a pkgbuild (which isn't that hard btw).
Edit: nevermind, this pkgbuild relies of a prebuilt module from a debian package. You aren't "building" anything form this package. Sorry dude...

[Solved] Updating everything except the Linux kernel

Hello,
Since a few weeks, wicd has problems with recent versions of kernel on my computer. Is there a way to update everything except the linux package?
Thanks in advance.

You can hold any package from updating by uncommenting the IgnorePkg option on your pacman.conf and listing said package(s) there.

How to make everything except the finder disappear?

I'd like to press one key on my keyboard and have everything but the finder get hidden. Any way to do that?

Hi there,
Not exactly 'one key' as requested, but if you hold the Cmd and Option keys and click on an application window, it will hide everything except that application. You can exploit this behaviour for your needs by cmdoptclicking on any part of your Desktop. This will hide everything except the Finder.

Backup everything except the system tablespace

Is there a way to backup everything except the system tablespace without having to specify every individual tablespace?
version is 10.1.0.5 on HP-UX itanium.
The reason for this is the database was upgraded from 7.3.4->8i->10.1.0.5 and we are now migrating to using RMAN instead of user managed backups however we have encountered a bug when backing up index blocks in the system tablesapce this only impacts compressed backupsets so If I can exlude the system tablespace I can run two backups one uncompressed that captures the system tablespace then another that captures everything else. I'd really like to avoid specifying the tablespaces in a script as it then introduces the possibility that a new tablespace is added and isn't included in the backups.

Unfortunatly this database is used by a third party application and the aplpication vendor only supports 10.1.0.5 at the moment, plans are to upgrade next year and tidy up the number of tablespaces at the same time.
looks like I'll have to backup the system tablespace uncompressed and then all the other tablespaces as a compressed backupset and setup an alert on files not backed up.

MSI R6850-PM2DAGD5/OC everything EXCEPT the Driver installs

Multiple installations of the latest Windows 7 64 bit driver from the AMD site, the MSI site, and using "Update Driver" button from Device manager, as well as an attempted installation of previous versions of the same driver from the AMD site produce the same result:
ATI install manager finishes with errors, showing that the driver installation failed. I've unistalled, run driver cleaner, rebooted to safe mode, run driver cleaner again, rebooted and ran a fresh install with the same result. Everything in the Catalyst suite EXCEPT the driver installs.
Device manager accurately labels the card as AMD Radeon HD 6800 series, but on the properties tab shows (Driver Date: 4/19/2011, Driver Version 8.850.0.0) shows "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
On reboot, a dialog box pops up reading:
"No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware."
Any guidance or is this and RMA situation? I can't get this card to perform correctly at all, and I know the slot is fine because I have a Gigabyte 6850 that I can install and uninstall at will.

I took the card over to a buddies house and tested it on his two Windows 7 rigs (listed below). He ran the driver packages and then performed the windows 7 performance testing and after about a minute, the screen turned off and a "no signal" message appeared. We repeated the cycle (restarted, reload drivers, reran Win7 test) and the same thing happened again. Another thing we noticed is that Everest wouldn't detect the card.
So, on my machine, Windows device manager shows the card as a 6800 series card with and error exclamation point/triangle next to it, and shows in properties tab that Windows has stopped the driver/service because there is an error with the device. On his machines, Everest doesn't dectect the card and the card stops working consistently.

Open each magazine one at a time. One of them is trying to get you to update, buy a new subscription, or restore an earlier issue. It may even be tied to a publication you have deleted. I hate those things.

Have you read my reply to your other thread : https://discussions.apple.com/message/18373620#18373620 ?
For Facebook try one of the facebook apps e.g. the 'official' Facebook app
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad.

Everything EXCEPT the text on my page scales, help?

I have a page with several images and text and all are set to % values so the page can scale with the browser. Yet for some reason only the images scale. What am I doing wrong?
P.S. I'm relatively new to the field if this is a silly question.

Put this code in your Stage compositionReady and you will be sorted!
$(document).ready(function() {

    $(window).resize(function() {

I bought my Iphone 5 a week ago, now suddenly my sound is gone when i play games, i checked everything and the weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i CAN hear the sound when in games, also he just plays music whitout my headphone. What could it

Hello so as you can see in my question i have troubles with my sound
I cant hear annything of my sound in game and i did check everything
The weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i do hear the sound
Also my music plays without my headphone
Wat can it be ? Pls help !

Ok, a little clarification then, you can hear music fine with the speaker and headphone? You can hear a game's music fine with the headphone but not with the speaker? Do you get the notification sounds ok with the speaker?
If the speaker sound is acceptable with everything except the game then there is a problem with that game and its settings.
If that is the case, you might want to try deleting the game and then downloading and reinstalling the game to see if that helps the problem.

How can I silence everything but the alarm on my iPod Touch?

I have the 5th Generation iPod Touch and I have a problem. If I turn the ringer/alerts/etc. tones down I don't hear my alarm clock in the morning but if I keep them up loud enough to wake me then app push notifications, emails, etc. are prone to waking me in the night as well. I don't want to disable all those notifications, just silence them at night.
I've seen threads asking this regarding the iPhones and apparently they have a switch or something but I'm not sure about the Touch. How can I silence everything except the alarms?

You could go to Setting > Sounds > Text Tone or etc. and change them to None. But then you will have to set them back in the morning. But there is no other way then to mute all ringer and alerts.
