ONEKEY IDEACENTRE PROBLEMS - issues with one key boot

HI there.
I've been reading about problems with onekey while having similar "free up buffer errors" and "please create a new base backup." messages coming up all the time. Every 1 to 4 days
The message started coming up every 4 days and the base backup started taking 1hour then 2 hours,
then the next time 3 hours.
But I was not storing anymore data on my hard drive. In fact, I had freed up space by deleting some old files I didn't need.
Anyway,
Finally I decided to turn off Lenovo Backup, as many have suggested on this forum.
My PC restarted no worries then onekey came up with a updating your system? And took 10 minutes to reach one percent! Then another 10 minutes to reach 2 percent.
At that rate it would take 14 hours plus to update. That's ridiculous.
Also I had turned onekey OFF.. not clicked on update my base back up so why the updating
The API call must have failed or somethings buggy with onekey.
At 6 percent (the one hour mark it was clear something was wrong with the speed of the update.)
The PC was running fine in all respects other than onekey messages.
I tried to boot to a recovery CD but no boot device worked before ONE key comes up with it's screen.
Please could someone offer some suggestions, or PM me a way to bypass the one key at boot so I can do a clean reinstall back to factory settings. I've tried choosing the restore to factory image, from the LVT pre windows menu. But still it begins to update at 10 minutes per percent. A Solution may help others with similar onekey problems too.
I'm now using my old backup PC.
I've seen a lot of PC issues, and this is a software issue, The hardware is fine and my PC is new.
Something is up with onekey and the way it runs its software previous to windows booting, and the way the one key pre-OS does not allow the PC to boot from the CD DRIVE or USB DRIVE even if those devices are choosen as first boot options.
Thank you very much,
Gadget
PS. There must be a key combo or method to stop or bypass onekey running at boot rather then onekey bypassing all other normal and reasonable boot options so that I can use the restore CD and go back to the factory setup OS. Thanks again

Hi Titan,
Thanks for this. I'll look into it and see what the changelog says about OKRUPDATE_V3.EXE for next time.
To cut a long story short, after much discussion about the issue, A very helpful person from Lenovo Tech support suggested we try system recovery (f2 key pre-windows) back to factory restore again, even though it had not worked the first time.
Well the second time it worked. So I went back to factory install of image. I'll not use, for now, onekey restore until I know more about this new version of OKRUPDATE. But It's good to know its there and I'll look into OKRUPDATE_V3
Hats of to the tech support person, and to you folks for your suggestions....
Thanks....
Problem solved.
Gadget,
PS. after doing the system recovery back to factory restore, the bios boot order now works too.

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!

Dns issues with one domain (Resolved)

i'm currently having dns issues with one domain, in that it won't resolve when I use bt's dns servers.
The domain is owned by a friend in the US who runs his own server for irc, web, and I also have a server that is on his connection, and resolves fine from other machines on different networks, and also resolves fine when I set windows to use the opendns servers, but when it's set to either my routers ip (using bt's dns), or set to automatic (using bt's dns via the homehub), this one domain will not resolve.
I'm pretty certain it's not a windows issue, as it's a clean install of windows 7 that I did yesterday. I've tried rebooting the homehub, and also flushing my dns on windows, but this has not solved the issue.
As I say, it resolves fine on other networks, and also when I use the opendns servers, so I know it's definately a dns issue.
Using bt's dns servers:
C:\Users\admin>ping chatnsn.com
Ping request could not find host chatnsn.com. Please check the name and try agai
n.
Using opendns:
C:\Users\admin>ping chatnsn.com
Pinging chatnsn.com [68.51.24.74] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 68.51.24.74:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
(The timeouts are normal...he has his router set to not respond to ping requests).
Has anyone got any ideas on how to sort this out? Preferably without having to phone the helpdesk...lets just say i've done it in the past, and according to the poeple I spoke to in india, I knew nothing about my own systems, and it was a problem at my end...which was not the case, and I proved this several times.
Edit: This issue appears to have resolved itself, and the domain is now resolving again using the homehub for dns resolution.

Hi,
When NSLOOKUP starts, before anything else, it checks the computer's network configuration to determine the IP address of the DNS server that the computer uses.
Then it does a reverse DNS lookup on that IP address to determine the name of the DNS server.
If reverse DNS for that IP address is not setup correctly, then NSLOOKUP cannot determine the name associated with the IP address.

Master data records with one key

Hello All,
I have scenario that I need to load the master data records with one key.
For ex--
Cluster            Dcode               version
5000                 DC1                  2008
5000                 DC1                  2008
5001                  DC1                  2009
Could you please let me know possible ways.
Thanks

In your case if Cluster is the key then the underlying attributes data will be overwritten when the same cluster key comes.
as per you example data finally it loads only two records in to the target, since first two records key is same.
Hope this helps.
Veerendra.

[SOLVED] Fresh Install Error - Issue with PGP Key 4096R/753E0F1F

Hello Guys,
This is my first topic. I have done all the research in this forum and in Google for the issue, with no luck in finding a solution. I have done several Arch linux installs before on Virtual Machines and PC's all of them working properly, except for this one that I can not get to pass the install phase.
Description of Hardware:
HP Laptop Pavilion Entertainment PC dv2-1030us
Athlon AMD Processor
4 GB RAM
300GB HD
ATI Video Card
Broadcom wireless Card (Default drivers Not Working)
Wired Network Card (Working)
I'm trying to install Arch from USB drive created from another arch machine via:
sudo dd if=/name_of_file.iso of=/dev/sdX
Using Arch Version:
Current Release: 2014.08.01
Included Kernel: 3.15.7
ISO Size: 559.0 MB
The above bootleable USB drive have been used to install Arch in another machine currently running it.
After creating the partitions on the drive, namely:
BOOT
SWAP
ROOT
HOME
And formatting them accordingly to the install guide, and having the system ready to download all the base and base-devel packages via:
pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
Right after it finishes downloading I get the following error:
downloading required keys in keyring...
:: Import PGP key 4096R/753E0F1F, "Anatol Pomozov <[email protected]>", created: 2014-02-04? [Y/n] y
error: key "Anatol Pomozov <[email protected]>" could not be imported
error: required key missing from keyring
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were installed.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
I first ignored the error and then tried to proceed with the installation process and executed the following sequences of commands:
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
and then tried to chroot with:
arch-chroot /mnt
Then i got the following error:
mount: mount point /mnt/etc/resolv.conf does not exist
chroot: failed to run command "/bin/sh": No such file or directory
Here is list of the Topics i Found in this forum that throw some light into the issue, some of the solutions I have tried with no luck at all:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181057
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178185
I hope you can help find a direction where to start fixing this issue, since i feel pretty lost right now. By the way I'm a Newbie in the Arch Linux world, so there are a lot of thing that are not that obvious to me...
Thank you in advance.

I've had the same issue with an (outdated) Arch Linux iso. As far as I am aware, it is caused by pacman's keys becoming out of date.
I've managed to get around this before, but the exact method eludes me.
You could try just updating the archlinux-keyring package, by refreshing pacman (pacman -Sy), then reinstalling only that package (try pacman -S archlinux-keyring).
Then you should be able to continue as normal.
Note that this only affects the CD filesystem in RAM - it will not persists across reboots using the CD.
The reason why this might work is that the package archlinux-keyring might not be signed by the key you were having issues with. If it still fails, you could temporarily set the SigLevel for the core repo to 'Never', however this does disable package signing, at least until you reset the SigLevel.
Unfortunately, I could not replicate the problem in a Qemu VM, so I'm not sure how good my method is. Hopefully, it fixes the problem.
Here are some links that might help shed some light:

Issues with Fn-keys and Synaptics touchpad on Asus X51RL laptop

Hello,
Since I installed Arch on my laptop, it's been working great. But I still have a few issues:
1) Fn-keys do not work. The brightness Fn-keys work, but I think that's done internally by the laptop, since it works even in the BIOS. The sound Fn-keys don't work, which is the ones I really need. How can I fix this? And I read somewhere that I have to switch from the kbd drivers to the evdev driver, is that true?
2) Since the latest update to the synaptics package in testing, the touchpad lost one-touch tapping, along with some other stuff. I know the solution is to disable hotplugging, but I sometimes need to plug in a keyboard or mouse, so I can't. How can I retain the scrolling and one-touch tapping settings from Xorg.conf AND hotplugging while using the latest synaptics?
3) The pre-configured options for the synaptics touchpad in the archwiki are good, but not that accurate. The size of the scrolling section of the touchpad is a bit too large, among other things. It's a minor problem compared to the others, but it'd be nice to fix it. In Windows, I definitely remember the settings being more accurate. Is there a way to have the Synaptics driver autodetect like the Windows one, or am I missing something here?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I have the S62J (Intel verified whatnot version) with this Asus, the brightness keys work. I think they are hard wired though as they work in the BIOS.
I tried the acpi-support, but I haven't had any luck with it yet. I'll have to mess with it some more to see if I'm missing something.
I'm also wondering if there isn't a different keyboard layout I should use. I notice that there is a 30-something-asus-something.fdi (I'm not on the notebook at the moment) on the system, but I don't know if it's being used by anything.
The other observation is that using the Fn button is throwing ACPI calls into my dmesg.log file. I need to research to find out how to use them.

FF 8.0.1 Issue with cursor keys

Hi,
I encounter issue with using any of the keyboard cursor arrow keys (i.e. up/down/left/right, page up/dwn) in any textboxes on any websites that I open with FireFox.
I made sure I have the latest mouse/keyboard drivers installed and I also checked the behaviour by openiung a web site using Internet Explorer where these sympthoms do not occur.
When ever I enter any text and try to press arrow left/right the cursor didn't move. It only moves when I keep pressing the cursors key. The same happens by pressing Ctrl+arrow left/right or page down/up in multiline fields.
Any advices are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

MacBook charger problem/Issue with charging

I've got the newest revision MacBook and there's a big problem with my charger. First, let me note that I've got the newest battery update, and have recently reset my PRAM and PMU. Inn addition, I've installed the new firmware update, and that has only seemed to make it worse. The trouble is that when I plug the MagSafe into my MacBook, it either:
a) shows me no indication that it the power cord is connected, or;
b) a dim green light appears where there should be a brighter green one that turns orange.
Now, I can sometimes stare at the little prongs coming out of the MagSafe connector to see how to best align the male and female ends. However, this still takes 5-10 minutes to do if it works at all, and the slightest motion disconnects the power. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this a software problem, an issue with the charger, or one with the computer itself? If you need to see pictures to tell, I can post them on flickr and give you a link. By the way, this is bad enough that I am typing on a Windows PC right now, against my will.

I have exactly the same issue.
In when i connect the macbook to the power adapter, there's no bright light showing (only very vague green in the dark) , and it shows in the system profiler that its connected but not charging.
i changed the power adapter but the problem still exist, tried to change the battery as well, but didnt work as well, what is the part which is having a problem in this case?!
By the way also completed al restds (SMC etc).
It is time that Apple provides a solution I figured out is is a common problem.
any solutions?

Issue with PC not booting when PCIe 8360 attached to controller PXI 8360

I am using a PCIe 8360 in our Windows 7 PC and connecting it to a PXI 8360 controller in a Pickering chassis. When I connect the mxi card to the controller and try starting the PC, the PC will not boot. Has anyone seen this issue and if so, what is the problem/solution?

It sounds like this may be an issue with BIOS compatibility. I have included some more information below. I would recommend upgrading the BIOS to the latest version and seeing if that resolves the issue.

P45 Diamond issue with USB at boot.

Hi everyone.
It's Felipe from Chile again. I wait for everyone of you are doing fine. Maybe some of you would remember me about my last issue with my last motherboard https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=121186.0. The good thing is that problem is completely solved and the store changed my motherboard for an MSI P45 Diamond paying the difference in money.
I would be experience some little problems with this motherboard and I really would like you to help me.
I have an ASDL Modem USB Zyxel 630-C1, which I connect through Internet. My problem is, every time Windows starts up, I have to manually unplugged it and plug it again, for the O.S. to detect it. Either way, the System would not let me to connect to Internet.
I though the problem was because of the driver and Windows Vista, but I did a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro and I experience same problems. I asked my ISP for the last driver and he told me where to download them, but didn't fix the problem.
I think, it could be a problem of USB Leggacy Support but I tried to change it disabled-to-enabled and biceversa but I couldn-t make it work.
When my last motherboard MSI X48C I didn-t experienced this problem, but with this P45 Diamond the problem is present.
What I need is, the system detect my USB modem with no need to unplug it and plug it every time I boot on Windows.
Would you some of you, maybe recommend me something, please
I wait for your reply.
And thanks again.

Do you use chipset drivers from Intel site?
I'm not quite sure about this question. The only thing I installed are:
Intel INF Drivers for P3x/P4x/G3x/G4x Chipsets (from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1478)
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (From the CD included)
(I also installed Realtek PCI-E Ethernet Drivers from the same MSI web page, but I'm not using them, so I disabled both from BIOS.)
About the chipset driver from Intel site, I entered http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=816 then I selected Windows Vista* Ultimate, 32 bit version, pressed the Go button, from the Download Center I access Chipset, but there I'm not sure what should I select, can you tell me what shoud I download from there, or maybe that site is not he adequate.
Thanks again and I wait for your repply.

Display and sound issues with One Link Pro Dock and X1

When my computer is connected to the dock and shut down there is a buzzing that comes from the external speakers that the dock is connected too.
Same thing happens if I leave the dock connector not connected.
What is causing this feedback and can anything stop it?
Display wise, my external monitor goes black every 30 minutes or so for 5 seconds and then comes back.
I am running Windows 8.1 if that matters.

"I don't know if my problem relates to this...but I cannot seem to keep my ethernet connection. I have two monitors (+laptop) working....occassionally screen goes black for a second....can live with that...but...why do I keep loosing my internet connection....anyone else have this problem. My IT guys say the problem is with the docking station but cannot pinpoint reason."
This is (unfortunately) a known issue. See this very, very long thread:
