New Desktop Build - Few Issues [Solved]

Hey guys just completely upgrade my desktop... board, processor, ram, graphics card etc.
installed everything just fine.
Went with lxdm and xfce4 as my LDM and GUI. Installed the latest catalyst drivers using the wiki to support my ati radeon hd 7850 card.
1, I have no xfce4-panel whatsoever. If i go to the terminal and go to start it, it says it is already running an instance. If i kill it, and the try running it again, it still says i am running the instance. If i go the settings for xfce4-panel, it hangs and then errors out "Failed to show the preferences dialog"
If i run the panel as root from the terminal, it works... so i just have the issue with my normal user i log into X with.
2. fglrx is definitely not loading. I followed all the instructions in the AMD Catalyst wiki, and am having issues. I use Vi0L0's repo... and am using catalyst-hooks (from the catalyst repo) which contains the latest and greatest, including beta drivers. I have xorg 1.14 installed because it is now compatible with those particular drivers... and have even rolled back to 1.13 just to test. I have done this before with the legacy drivers for an older card, and didn't have an issue.
If i run fglrxinfo in terminal this is he output:
Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  154 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  66 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  14
  Current serial number in output stream:  14
i also get no output from lsmod | grep fglrx
3. I cannot start the AMD Catalyst Control panel.
when i run amdcccle from the terminal i receive this:
amdcccle: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I already installed qt and all is dependencies, and am pretty sure that's what i did on my old build.
Please any help would be appreciated, as im trying to get this PC up and running properly. Thanks!

Last night when installing arch on a friend's machine I had the same problem with XFCE. At first, I thought I may have done something wrong during the install because we did a fresh install on the same machine just a few days ago and had no issue yet it popped up last night (again, with a fresh install) So, I think there may have been an update to one of the xfce4 packages over the last few days to cause this issue. The only way I could get around this was to log in as root (during which the panels worked fine) and then log in as my normal user. I still got an error that the panels were in kiosk mode, but it seems to be holding my changes.

  • Cineform on Laptop vs new Desktop Build

    Hi there,
    I have a Dell XPS 15 laptop with CS 5.5 that I currently use for video editing DSLR and AVCHD footage (specs below). I've been considering building a semi-portable desktop for editing (made a thread here about it a while ago) but I'm still debating the financial impact of that route.
    There used to be a program offered by Cineform (NeoScene?) that would transcode H264 video to a more editable AVI with 4:4:4 chroma for $100. I can't seem to find that program now so perhaps things have changed now.
    Anyway, the question: Would it be more cost effective to purchase Cineform and set up my laptop more so for video editing; static pagefile, etc. OR would I still see so much better superior performance from building a $1500 or so  i72600k-based solution that I would just be wasting my time and money?
    Laptop Specs
    Dell XPS 15 L501
    i7 740Qm at 1.7GHz
    6 gigs RAM
    GeForce 435M (unlocked for Mercury Engine) (believe it has 2 gigs of ram, not sure)
    500GB HDD for OS and programs
    640GB HDD for Media, Projects, etc.
    One eSATA/USB combo
    (2) USB 3
    1366x768 display
    1920x1080 monitor via HDMI
    I used my laptop for a 13 minute short film this Spring, using mostly Premiere and AE. It worked, but there were some moments when things would go slowly and getting smooth playback was always an issue. But overall, it was tolerable.
    I will be working on a much more involved film this next semester, anywhere from 30 to an hour in length. Will scaling up the size of the project have a severe impact on performance?
    Thanks much,
    Kristofor

    Actually, I just found NeoScene still seems to be available...it shows up when one Google searches "Cineform" but I still can't figure out how someone could navigate to the product page from the site itself; it seems to have been removed from the Product Grid. So, who knows?
    I actually meant 4:2:2, not 4:4:4 The latter is more than I need at this point.
    One thing I forgot to clarify in my original post; I'm planning on still keeping my laptop. My hope was to be able to separate out my everyday tasks (schoolwork, netflix, youtube, games, etc) and video editing/audio/graphics work. I would still keep my laptop as a mobile editing solution for smaller projects. After all, Adobe lets us have two installs so I'd want to take advantage of that, eh?
    Unfortunately, it looks less and less likely that I will be able to justify the expense this summer. Perhaps in the winter I will be able to use part of my movie's budget for a system build, but that's pure speculation at this point.
    Thanks for the suggestions guys!

    I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory.  I changed to a new one which already had another itunes account (for my business)  when i upgraded to os5 my library has dissappeared as it has syncd with the new computer.  Is there any way i can restore the information previously from my ipad?  really appreciate any advice thanx in advance

    Lynda-
    If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync.  Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

  • New iMac, few issues

    Hello All.
    I've just purchased a new iMac and I'm having a few issues with it, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can fix them, I've tried doing all of the latest software updates but the issues still prevail.
    1) CMD+TAB
    When I use CMD+TAB about 70% of the time, the Application Switcher doesn't show, but it switches Applications successfully.
    When the Application Switcher does show; half of the time only some of the Applications I have open are visible, if I CMD+TAB again straight after a different random selection of Applications are shown.
    2) Quick Look.
    If I use space to quicklook in the Finder, I can never close the window, neither the X icon or hitting space again will close it.
    3) Displays Control Panel.
    Won't open, the title bar says 'Loading Displays..' but it just freezes.
    4) Photoshop CS5
    Very unstable (have updated to newest version).
    5) Random finder stuff
    Sometimes Finder windows just go white, completely blank, I can still drag them around and right click them and the correct contextual menu comes up for that part of the window but it is still white.
    There are lots of other things too, these are the most annoying so I've kept it to the most annoying, especially the CTRL+TAB thing.

    Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner.   You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
    QAM tuners to record local channels only
    This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
    SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
    CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
    This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
    ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
    Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
    Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed.   That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

  • Inability to connect laptop to printer connected to new desktop windows 7-64bit

    We cannot connect our officejet 5500 to our laptop since buying a new desktop computer now running Windows 7-64 bit. Although the laptop runs on Windows 7, it previously was able to access the printer. Since upgrading the computer we seem not to be able to connect.  Our systems are wireless though the printer plugs directly into the computer. I did do the search for drivers and seems the 5500 office jet has the correct driver.  Now what??
    Thanks!

    The most important part at this point, since they both use Windows 7, is to ensure they are in the same homegroup.
    Go to the start menu and search for Network and Sharing Center.  Do this on both computers.  Open the sharing center and then go to Choose Homegroup and Sharing Options.  Do the computers indicate they are part of the same homegroup?
    Let me know what happens when you go to the Homegroup options on each screen.  It really seems as this is where the core of the issue is as the steps provided have worked with similar scenarios.
    The homegroup requirement of Windows 7 can be disabled, but then sharing the computers with each other gets a little more complex as you would be prompted for a username and password each time you tried to access the computer on the network.

  • Screen on 20" Imac...a few issues

    Hi,
    I see a number of notes about screen issues on 20" new intel iMac...I've had few issues so thought I start a new thread...First, I had the buzzing when brightness was all or most all the way up...Brought it into a authorized Mac repair place and they replaced the video (inverter or card or?)as well as the screen...not sure why they replaced the screen honestly...Now I've noticed a few new issues. I first noticed that my desktop background was visible, a little dimmer but visible, on the top apple bar that should be just white with black menu items...And I have also noticed some rainbow color effects on some black type that really is disturbing as I do a lot of Word processing, depending on the angle this is better or worse or the black type appears a little blurred on some letters...Since then, I've read about 'gradient' problems and many complaints with the 20" monitors...I didn't take any notice of gradient issues, but now have looked a little closer and do notice big color changes if I am looking at screen from slight off center angles--where white goes to blue (up and down) or white goes to brown. (right and left). So after owning many macs over the past 15 years, I've never been disappointed with a screen, but surely am now...I have a mac mini with an inexpensive 19" lcd screen (Princeton brand) that doesn't have any such color changes at all...I was too late to call Apple tonight but will in the morning...Wonder if any folks have any suggestions/ideas...Honest, I'm curious if I can return or get a trade on this if the problem is widespread....Will Apple take a return...and is it better to bring to Apple Store, or to mail to Apple...I had brought it to a local reseller as the nearest Apple store is over an hour away...Thanks for any guidance.

    Hello rickame, I've got the fix for your issue with the Menu Bar, goto System Preferences then Desktop & Screen Saver, at the bottom you will see a checkbox for Translucent Menu Bar, unclick it and you will have a solid Bar. Sorry but I dont have a fix for the Screen gradient problem, I have the 20" iMac and love the display myself (coming from a 15" dell display, you can see where I'm coming from).
    Hope this helps, Steve...

  • New Desktop Manager won't allow me to delete device photos

    Hey there,
    I am using the new 6.0.0.40 Desktop and I am SO frustrated with it. In the old version, I could delete photos from my device using Roxio. In the new Desktop, I can't figure out how to delete photos from my 8330. If I click on a photo, I can't delete it individually and I definitely can't select all of them, which means I can't delete all of them either.
    I can delete one photo at a time using my BB, but I would prefer not to manage my BB shutterbug habit one photo at a time.
    Help! How do I delete photos now?

  • OnLocation "not recording" issue solved - disable any webcams

    Hi,
    Just thought I'd share something that kept me busy for the past few hours (and, after some searching, apparently quite a few people online as well): OnLocation CS5 refusing to record at all - either by clicking the record button, hitting F2 or using the camera. Simply, no file is created, time does not advance, nothing.
    After several combinations of cameras, including my Sony V1E, and machines (all Windows 7, might be relevant), I hit upon disabling the built-in webcams of the laptops and of one of the attached monitors of the desktop. Instantly, problem solved...
    Hope this was of use to someone!

    I got sooooooooooooooooo excited when I read this post because I'm having this exact issue on my HP DV8
    T laptop with a built-in webcam.   I went into the Device Manager and disabled the webcam but it didn't fix the issue.
    In OnLocation I still have a video input choice of "HP web camera filter" along with "Canon Camcorder" (the "HP Webcam" choice is now gone).  I suspect there's still something HP has put into the video stream that messes up OL and Pr (Pr also can't capture from the camera).
    All works fine on my desktop installation, so it isn't the camera.  HDVSplit is also fubar on the laptop but works on the desktop.

  • AC 5.95 few issues

    Hi,
    After a while using new AC v5.95 I've noticed few issues with it:
    a) veeeery slow response when I click AC icon in tray to select my connection. Sometimes it takes like 30 sec to show menu, often freezes for a minute or two after menu is showed
    b) wireless speed is inaccurate. In my case it shows 54mps and when I check in windows network and sharing center it shows 300mps. 3rd party wifi test application also detects 300mps speed (I'm using AES WPA2 and 802.11n)
    c) one of my connection profiles has DHCP enabled and whenever I switch from that connection to one with static IP (or just disconnect from it) my LAN adapter is not disabled (on all others it is)
    I tried to reinstall but it didn't help. My OS is Windows x64 Enterprise on Thinkpad T520 4242-D25 with Centrino Ultimate-N 6300AGN wireless card.

  • Few issues with BI 2004s

    Hello there,
    I am having few issues with BI 2004s system. It’s a new implementation.
    -         When you create Data source using DB connect in new system, it creates with old version. I could see the SMALL square box next to the Data source. I would expect the system to generate new 2004s datasource.
    -         Obviously the generated D/S won’t allow us to create New Transformations. We have to create old transfer rules/update rule. I do see the option to migrate the D/S when I right click on it. But I get short dump when I try that and then you have to discard the D/S and create new one.
    -         Also, it won’t allow you to delete the DBConnect D/S although you have option to do that?
    Anyone has faced these issues?
    Performance issue with reporting:
    I understand that you have to have portal in order to execute reports which we don’t have at this client. They don’t have time and money to invest right now. So we have created reports using BW 3.5 BEx Q.designer/WAD to run the reports on web. The report takes long time when you try to drill down on Material/Customer with only 150,000 records in Cube. The cube has just three dimensions (two char each) and 4 key figures. Any suggestion to improve?
    Thanks

    Yes, I noticed it too and was thinking the same thing, blueaura.
    I'm sure they want to ensure the scan is reliable. I keep my screen at a lower brightness to save power, and sometimes Starbucks scanners take a bit longer for it to register.
    2) is already fixed.
    3) is a feature, not a bug. If you are updating an app you already have installed, it doesn't bother to ask you for the password. Nice!
    For Google maps, just use maps.google.com in the browser.

    I purchased photoshop elements 8 on line in 2010. I recently switched to a new desktop computer. Photoshop asked for my serial number. I entered the correct serial number (obtained from Adobe). It says it is invalid. How do I get this corrected so I can use the product I purchased?

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush
