Nvidia Input/Output error. Could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0

Hello, I finally have Arch running on my MacBook pro 3,1 (mid 2007) but when I startx after installing Nvidia drivers it gives the Input/Output error and states "could not open device file /dev/nvidia0." I tried everything from the Nvidia wiki, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone please have any other ideas or things to try? My Nvidia card is 8600M GT and I have installed xorg-server, xorg-apps and Nvidia-utils already.  Also is it possible my graphics card is not compatiable with this new kernel? Thank you for your time.

You know that this posts a huge list - and I couldnt remember how to trim for certain keywords (which one would you be interested in?).
So here the last few things regarding Video: from dmesg:
[..] nvidia: module license "NVIDIA" taints kernel.
[..] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint.
[..] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0002 -> 0003)
[..] vgaarb device changed decodes: PCI:0000:01:00.0,oldcodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=none
[..] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 304.37 Wed Aug 8 19:52:48 PDT 2012
then comes Swap, wlan, eth0 etc..

    I am using a homemade kernel, but i can't think of a reason why that would prevent things from working properly considering the module loaded ok.

  • Error: could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\lib\i386\jvm.cfg'

    I am geting this error when I enter the "java" command:
    "Error: could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\lib\i386\jvm.cfg'"
    I have configured the PATH variable (Windows 2000) and "javac" works. I cannot, however, get my programs to run because of the error every time I type "java". Also, I did not install my JDK / SDK to the directory in which the computer is looking for the "java" cammand (ie. it is not in 'Program Files'...). If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Try using the -cp switch on the command line. For example:java -cp . MyProgramIf this corrects the problem, you need to set the classpath variable
    as well as the path.

  • Web Intelligence report scheduling: Error "Could not open the file"

    Hello,
    we are on BO 4.0 SP9 Patch 1.
    Since the update to this patch level we have intermittent failure of scheduled reports in Web Intelligence.
    Error message is: "Could not open the file *.wid"
    There has been neither a change of the report nor a promotion.
    Former schedules finished successful.
    SAP note search or SCN search only showed notes with the issue that this error occurs after a promotion.
    Does anyone has experiences with this error?

    Hi Sebastian,
    If Hot Back is enabled I would suggest turning this feature off unless it’s a business requirement.
    In addition as a workaround in the reoccurring jobs set the number of retries to something greater than 0.
    This issue was fixed in BI4.0 SP08, I would suggest opening an incident with support.
    Hope the above helps

    What do you have here.
    If that does not help, reset your prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Option Command (or similar on Windows) then boot Photoshop and as fast as you can depress the 3 keys.

    What is wrong!!!
    I can't work without him!!!

    Just had this problem occur as well.
    All the workspaces seem to now have the Flash Player Icons on the menu. They were not there before.
    If I create a new workspace, it seems to work fine until I switch to any existing workspace and then the new workspace is also affected.
    I can import a project from the other workspaces, into a new workspace and that works as well.
    My only mental history is that all was well. Then I spent some time writing a project in CS4 for a day without any need for Flex Builder. Then when I returned to FLex Builder the last opened project would not run and although I can get to the new project screen, the next and Finish button although enabled fail silently.
    Eclipse Galieo, Flash 4 Builder Plugin.
    Not sure what path to take. Remove Flex Builder plugin? Exclipse? Certain files or hidden folders?
    Any suggestions where to explore would be nice.

  • Error: could not open...........

    Particulars: New to Java, Windows 98, Java 1.4.0_01.
    My first program has compiled no-problem. However, when i attempt to run the program i get the following messege in the command prompt.
    Error: could not open 'C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\lib\i386\jvm.cfg'
    Upon examination, my (jvm.cfg) is in a completely different directory. I don't know if i installed the Java SDK improperly, or if setting the classpath will help. I even uninstalled, then re-installed program. Also, i attempted to create a directory that matched that which is described in the error messege, (only to create a new "could not open" error).
    Could you please help? Thank you in advance, Dan......

    When you install Java it creates 3 directory trees.
    One, which starts at C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01, contains a copy of the JRE runtime (at C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\jre\) and the additional program tools and librarys/jars that are needed to create and compile programs.
    The second, which is at C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\, is a copy of the JRE runtime that was installed above.
    (The third, Webstart, is in C:\Program Files\)
    Because there are 2 JRE's, identical except for where they are, if you have one jvm.cfg you can copy it to the other location. The files are identical when installed. The 2 locations are:
    C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\jre\lib\i386\jvm.cfg
    C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\lib\i386\jvm.cfg
    Give that a try...
    That said, I've never heard of this. If you tried to install into a directory other than the default, I suggest that you use the defaults. If you used the defaults and are still having trouble, do a full removal using the Control Panel 'Add/Delete Programs' feature. Make sure that Java 2 Runtime, Java 2 SDK, and Java Webstart are removed. Then delete the 3 directory structures that match these and start over.

  • Could not open the ICU common library

    Dear all,
    I’ve done heterogeneous OS migration on our Solution Manager system release ver. 7.0 Ehp1, from HP-UX 11.31 to RedHat 6.5. Then we need to perform the system upgrade to version 7.1
    Kernel version is SAP Kernel :  720_EXT_REL.

    Everything is working fine. EarlyWatch reports are prepared. But when I checked the SLD http://saptst:54000/sld I’ve got the error “Internet
    Explorer cannot display the webpage”. I also checked with IP address and it’s the same error.
    With Chrome browser the error is “Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to saptst:54000”

    I’ve also downloaded the last kernel patches, unpacked and checked the RFC libraries, but there were no libicuuc.so.30… with number 30.
    Why the system is searching for these libraries with 30, but not 34 or 40?
    Can you please help how to solve the error “Could not open the ICU common library”?
    Is this the problem why I can’t open the browser http://saptst:54000/sld and I got the error “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”?

    I receive the error "Could not write the AIF file (session error)" when trying to record to Sound Track using any of my USB input microphones. Does anybody know how to resolve the problem?
    Also, does anybody have any suggestions about what product to use to produce good multi-track audio files. I am interested in both a hardware and a software solution. It seems that using the standard Apple software that comes on the new G5s does not offer any good solutions.

    Update to Snow Leopard then update Final Cut Studio. Chances are your problem will have been fixed.
    In my experience, in previous iterations of STP there were a number of serious bugs related to saving files. Running everything up-to-date, however, I am no longer having those problems (knock on wood).

  • Could not generate the flash file(SWF)

    Hi all,
    I am working with a Dashboard having a GMap plugin and it was working fine on BO server.
    But now the plugin has been changed from GMap to CMaps plugin. I am able to download the same dashboard from BO Server to my desktop.
    The snapshot of the warning I get while downloading the dashboard has been attached.
    When downloaded from server, in place of displaying map on GMap plugin I get a warning "Invalid request this request is invalid" but when i open its properties the warning goes and the map appears back.
    Then I tried to upload the same dashboard on BO Server and I get an error "Could not generate the flash file(SWF)...". The snapshot of the same has been attached.
    I am unable to do any modification on this Dashboard.
    Regards

    Hi,
    In your discussion,you have downloaded the dashboard file from the BO server to your desktop.
    You can export the dashboard to BO Server in SWF format.But how can you download the physical dashboard file from BO server.Is it possible?
    Do the changes in .xlf physical file and export the .xlf file to BO server as File-->Save to platform.
