[PARTIALLY SOLVED] Wine 3D apps make the system randomly freezes

Hi!
Since some months, i can't play longer that one hour on games through wine: xorg locks up the system randomly: i can't switch to a console or close the game with Alt+F4. I can only move the mouse, and the sound is always running. Moreover, I can always connect to the pc through SSH.
I think it's due to fglrx driver, because with the OSS one, I never freeze so (but I get crap performances, what is not the best to play...).
Did someone got the same issue and solved it?
Thanks,
nob.

Write bug report to amd, and pray.
Edit: To not leave the post so cynical.
AMD's fglrx driver is not that high quality. From personal exprience, it has always caused more problems than good.
So your only choice is really to a) Write detailed bug to amd, and hope they fix it. b) Use the open source drivers. c) Change GPU

512MB of RAM and Widgets...can it make the system completely freeze?

Noticing a very sluggish response on my Mac Mini I realize that memory is an issue with MS Office and such using Safari with iCal in the background.
My Mac does a complete freeze, no force quit no toggle when I hit F12 (widgets) retrieving widgets while an app is running will freeze the system it has occurred twice in one day.
I use a maintenance tool to run cron jobs, optimize safari, updated prebinding, check S.M.A.R.T disk and all is fine.
Looking for more avenues...
I am on the fence on adding more memory because of the processor chip and wanting to go to Leopard shortly..
I may just have to backup and live with this problem...

The folder and question mark at startup is an indicator that no valid MacOS install was found to boot from. Usually it means the system can't find the internal drive or the internal drive wasn't correctly recognized. In a normally functional and correctly configured Mac, this is a rare thing, but it can happen if, for example, the system is usually booted from an external drive, but the external is disconnected or powered down.
However, it can also be caused by an error in the system management controller, where an SMC reset will usually resolve it. It may have been this in your case, since although you may not have intentionally performed an SMC reset, the disconnection of power and other devices is essentially the same thing!
Just check that the startup disk preference pane has the internal drive selected, and as long as there is a valid MacOS install on that, this problem should not recur.

HT3053 Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?

Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?
My battery got swollen (and I unfortunately noticed it very late and might have be running with it for months, which potentially explains all the crashes everyday and the trackpad not working anymore, the Apple test also says I have a bar of ram broken...) and I had to remove it because the back pannel did not close anymore... Can I still use my MBP normally forever that way? I was planning on buying a new mac anyway but maybe waiting for the next iMac upgrade in the year... Should I wait?

Other than the system shutting down instantly if you have a power outage, whcih could corrupt the OS. Nothing else bad will happen.

Does compiling the kernel makes the system run significantly faster?

It used to be when you compiled your kernel (at least ten years ago), you would get a significant speed boost. However, with the speed of machine nowadays, I wonder how much, if any. Does compiling the kernel have a significant increase in daily performance or otherwise? If so, what portion of the system does it makes faster than before? In short, Is it worth it? I appreciate any comments.

The title of this thread doesn't limit responses to just redoing the kernel since it says "system run significantly faster".
The kernel is not the system...the system runs from HDD and ram.
To speed up that process, run everything possible in ram for system speed up.
I think for 500 packages loading from scratch to desktop in 45 seconds is fast. And running after that in ram is super fast system speed "significantly faster".
The speed I quote is possible now. With UDMA capability in the kernel, at least half of the install time is probable.
And that is for over 500 packages into KDE no less!
Using flash in IDE removes the latent search from the system and therefore must be faster.
Changing the kernel will indeed speed up the system...but only if it includes UDMA for the flash drives already available but not configured with the present kernels.
Using flash drives for ide cache repos will allow faster boot time, and reduce the load on the system. You don't normally run many,many programs at once so put them in cache with a script to permit fast loading .
That is "system running significantly faster" and all in ram, the fastest in the computer.
no
Does compiling the kernel makes the system run significantly faster?
compiling kernel, not whatever
I did not suspect that this requires explanation?
but if you really want the noise, let's leave "faster?"
and answer is: yes/no
whatever that means.
or you are joking
anyway seems that results may vary.

mac pro 5,1 / 10.8.2 / 10.0.7 - while working in fcx and the program and the system hangs (freezing). Only moves the mouse pointer. In addition to disconnecting from the mains, nothing helps! what to do?

Yes, it would if you ran it on the new MBP which is the reason I am saying install rather then clone.
If you clone then you are only getting the same code as the old MBP which probably will not have the correct drivers.

Slideshow follows the current sorting order, you can adjust sort setting to change slideshow order. But there's not a "Random" one.

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond System Randomly Freezes

Please help if you can. I've tried everything.
System Specs.
Pentium D 840
MSI P4N Diamond
4x512 Kingston DDR-II 667 (2 Matched Pairs)
2x 76Gb WD Raptors in Raid 0 (on SIL controller)
2x MSI Geforce NX6600GT-VTD128E
1x Sony 1.44mb FDD
2x Pioneer 109 DVD+/-R/RW
Thermaltake Armour Case
Thermaltake 560W PurePower PSU
Thermaltake Big Typhoon CPU Cooler
Windows XP Pro OEM
System freezes randomly. Tends to happen quicker if I reset the system after the initial freeze. Stress testing makes the system freeze quicker. Has frozen while installing XP five or six times. Sometimes freezes while loading (on the welcome screen). Always the same hard lock, everything stops (including audio etc).
I've got the latest bios and latest drivers (from nvidia).
I have tried almost every possible permutation of Bios Settings.
I have swapped the motherboard.
Tried just a single stick of ram, tried a single stick of another brand and also tried DDR-II 533.
I've tried using both SATA controllers, just a single Raptor (with both drives) and also a single WD1200JB Hard drive.
Tried 3 different 500+ watt PSUs
Tried using a single video card (with both cards)
Tried a P4 650 CPU (just in case the CPU was faulty, I MUST get dual core working though)
I have re-installed XP fresh for every change in hardware configuration.
What else can I do? Has anyone got a setup similar to this working?
Advice would be greatly appreciated. I've spent three days solid on this.

Still going on this one. Tried another PSU.
ANTEC 550W True Power 2.0 TP2550EPS12V
OUTPUT
+3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 +5V SB -12V
Max. Load 32.0A* 40A* 19A* 19A 2.0A 1.0A
Min. Load 0.5A 0.5A 0.4A 0.4A 0A 0A
Load Reg. ±3% ±3% ±3% ±3% ±5% ±5%

Still no luck
Suggestions?

(SOLVED)How do I make a system snapshot?

Hi,
The latests udev scare has shown me two things: you can rely on the community to fix this (thanks Tobias!) and a good backup/snapshot is worth its wheight in gold.
What manual do I read/study/understand to make a system snapshot before upgrading? I rely on the fallback now, but... the current system (the one that does not work that well) will become the ... fallback after update and that's not a good prospect...unless I'm mistaken!
Thank you, I hope my question does not raise any storms.
Thor

Hi everyone,
@karol : indeed, this is the "painful spot" - it seems to be solved, so an update is in order of course...just want to keep the "furniture safe" so to speak
@ tomk : no offense taken, but, I stil consider myself a newbe (but I am a newbe that IS willing to learn...), so the question is "what to learn and what to learn first?", okay, so there are some things you mentionned I need to learn, but Linux is NOT just a hobby for me. I do not have any other system (like Mac or windows) - there just is ... Linux.
@ ngoonee : I dont know yet what the fallback is, but there's just one word for it right now : lifesaver! Arch is great, there IS a fallback
Edit : Okay, some options have come up...in the answers posted...including one post elswhere from one Enlightened Spirit - who also has my profound gratitude.
I have understood (from the stuff I read) that the fallback is "merely" (using this word cautiously) an all-in-one package while the standard kernel is a fine tuned set. Hence, since there is "just what is needed", there is nothing to "fall back" on...the difference in size (1.4Mb - 7.9Mb) tells tales.
I looked into rsync too, okay, that, in combo with a weekly cron job and one to be run before updates, should be all I need to be secure...
I can safely say that this thread can be closed...and marked as solved as requested in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50161...
Editting the subject line next time round!
Closing edit : marking this thread as solved with gratitude to all that helped, and showed me what to learn next!

My pc running on Win 8.1. The system requested to scan the hardrive (c). After this was completed all files in the sent folder had gone. Help !

Have been running on a Dell PC (Win 8.1) for the past year or so. So far have had no issues with Thunderbird (latest release) until today (4/4/2015). For some unknown reason my PC "action center" suggested that I should scan the "C" drive for potential problems. It should be noted that I was unaware of any system problems prior to this message and I have no idea what the potential problems were. So, as a rooky with computers I followed the rules and scanned the drive as suggested.
The scan took about 20 minutes to complete followed by a normal start-up. All was well, except when I opened up Thunderbird Email, I observed that all files/messages (an estimated 1000) in the sent folder had been removed. All other folders within TB Email appear to be normal and I can send new Emails and receive same OK.
A test Email worked fine with the sent file/message going to the sent folder.
Is there anyway in which to recover the lost sent files/messages and why would the scanning of the "C" drive create this problem?
Please provide the procedures to recover same at your earliest.
Regards,
mikeandsylvia

Did the scan repair anything?
Possibly the file system had a problem which got corrected by the scan, and unfortunately the problem did affect your Sent folder.
Do you have a backup of your Thunderbird profile you can restore?

How do I make the system clock visible on all screens - including when I am in full screen mode

New to the Mac OS . . . I want a clock that persists. Yes I can mouse near the top and see the clock but I have to move the cursor each time I want to see the clock.
I tried a few floating clocks - but none of the ones I tried are visible in full screen mode.
Is there a setting in Mavericks that will make the clock visible all the time?
Thanks.

Your best bet might be to set up the clock in Dashboard so you just have to press F12 to see it and dismiss it, even in full screen apps, without having to move your cursor.
