[Potentially Solved] Touchpad sometimes not detected possible IRQ.

Edit:
Potentially solved: since adding the below entries to my bootloader I have not encountered the issue, or it may be just a coincidence.
append to the boot line: i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset
I've been experiencing an issue for the last few years which has bugged me across two different brands of laptop, but has been very hard to debug due to how random the event seems to occur.
One in every 20 or so boots, the touchpad on my laptop (Lenovo Z500) is not detected; not just by X, but by the system as a whole, it's as if it has been physically disconnected somehow.
It will take a few good reboots for the system to detect it again, and the problem disappears for another few days/weeks
One strange thing I have noticed, is that when looking at the listing of interrupts during a 'failed touchpad boot', IRQ 12, which I believe is normally the touchpad, has vanished.
I'm not very clued up on these matters so I'm not sure how to start debugging this, and working out if the issue is down to my setup of the system or not.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks.

Hi gav989,
welcome to the forums. Please have a look at our forum etiquette, esp. at the "Pasting Pictures and Code" section.
The image you posted is too big, but only slightly, so I leave it there for now. You may want to look at these screenshot posting rules as well.

[Solved] Hard Disk not detected

Currently i am using 4 hard drives and out of which 2 hard drives are detected and 2 are not. The fasinating thing is that in BIOS all the 4 hard drivers are detected and using a live cd i can access all the 4 drives without any prob. All the 4 drivers are working properly in windows7. It's just in arch linux 2 of my drives are not detected.
Recently i have upgraded my system from kernel 3.6.9 to 3.6.10
the drives are SATA drives. they are connected directly to the motheboard using SATA cables. the live cd i used was Ubuntu. I checked in /sys/block/ and with lsblk. In both of them i can see 2 drives sda and sdb.
Even check the dmesg, but there was nothing related to sdc or sdd. even on boot there were no errors.
They are NTFS formatted and always the 2 same disks are detected.
pls guide me as i am really freaked off due to this prob.

How about rebooting, and then posting the output of dmesg. It will be long, so be sure to use BBCode 'code' tags. Alternately, install wgetpaste; pipe the output of dmesg through wgetpaste, and post the link wgetpaste provides here.
Edit: Never mind I see you updated with solved while I was posting. But what is the solution?
Thanks ewaller for the reply The prob was that, the capacity of my SMPS ( power unit ) was not sufficient to run 4 HDD + printer + 2 TB external drive. So this was the main reason. When i disconnected the printer and the external drive again all the 4 HDD were detected in my arch machine

[SOLVED] k3b does not detect optical drive

Hello,
I am running Arch Linux x86_64 with recent updates. I have k3b 2.0.3 and when I launch it I get message that it does not detect my optical drive, and I need hal daemon. I checked, udev is running, node in dev /dev/sr0 has root.optical, my user is in optical group. How do I fix this? I want to burn BluRay disk, maybe k3b even does not support it? And is there a better tool for optical discs than k3b? I use KDE 4 so Qt tool would be nice

USB Audio Device sometimes not detected. udev, maybe?

I am using an external usb audio device which I usually keep plugged into my machine. I am finding that this device is sometimes not being detected when I boot the computer.
When this happens, issuing the following command:
$ aplay -L
does not list this particular device. Plugging and unplugging the device does not seem to help.
What does seem to resolve the problem is unloading and then reloading the snd_sub_audio kernel module. This is done by issuing the following commands:
# rmmod snd_usb_audio
# modprobe snd_usb_audio
Could anyone give some insight as to why the usb audio device isn't being detected and why this only happen occasionally? Could this be a udev issue? The device in question is an M-Audio Fast Track Pro.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Make sure gvfs is installed.
sudo pacman -S gvfs

[FINALLY SOLVED] "Audio device not detected by EAX Console/Speaker Setting Panel" Prob

PROBLEM: A message pops up saying "The audio device supported by this application is not detected" when clicking on any Creative Utilities like EAX Console or the Speakers Control Panel.
SOLUTION: After 6 hours of trying out all solution advices/attempts for the problem above, I figured that there are only 2 ways to get rid of this issue.
[color="#ff0000"]st way: Kill your whole system, by doing format C:
[color="#800000">2nd way: Follow this advice from Shag:
[color="#800000">?
[color="#800000">An installation error causes this problem which in the first instance is addressed by ensuring that you have disabled the onboard audio. If this does not work in the second instance you will need to uninstall the card as follows:
() Uninstall software and drivers either, through control panel or the installation CD
(2) Move the card to PCI slot 3 (if not already there) [VERY IMPORTANT]
[color="#800000">?
[color="#800000">(3) Manually remove registry entries as follows:
. Delete the files from "\Creative".
2. Delete the following registry node from the registry
- HKLM\Software\Creative Tech\Software Installed
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\5CDDF96A-BC34-4D72-9ABA-EFFF0C39977
(4) Reinstall the software and drivers.
Eventually I'd like to recommend the Creative Team to put this solution in the FAQ, since I counted at least 20 members in this forum, having the same problem without getting to a solution.
Cheers,
Diabolius

BTW just in case people search for the error message in German:
in German the pop up says:

[SOLVED] Hard Drive not detected

Hi,
I've bought Hitachi Touro Desk Pro 2TB USB 3.0 external drive recently, however there's a problem using it in Linux. I can fully see it in Win7 x64 disk manager, but running sudo fdisk -l or parted -l gives me only my internal sda drive. Additionaly, having connected the drive to pc when arch linux booting - it just stucks on "Waiting on UDev uevents to be processed" for approximetaly 20-30 secs and the continues with booting leaving the UDev uevents status failed.

However i can see the drive in /sys/block or /dev/disk/by-id. In another opensuse machine the drive is accessible but only when connected during boot up, connecting it when the system is already on does nothing.
Having the drive formatted/unformatted,gpt or mbr type doesn't change a thing.

This is what i've found out: Adding "usb" hook to initcpio removes the hang when booting and makes the disk being able to be accessible and detected by both fdisk and parted but sometimes after restart or rebooting to Win and back to Arch introduces the hang again, i have to unplug the disk from power and plug back to remove the hang on next boot. I think the usb hook shouldn't be required since it's meant for usb root devices or when connecting at early start which is not my case, USB sticks don't need the usb hook at all anyway. What more I still get some warnings (probably not harmfull) on boot with either usb stick or sata disk connected no matter what. I would prefer to connect it quietly (without warnings) or not trying to connect the disk at boot at all and then kde should take care of it when logged into user account - any idea?
The impossibility reconnecting the disk when system is on is caused by the missing hotswap/hotplug feature for the disk because udev device manager treats it as internal, you can verify it like this: "cat /sys/block/sdx/removable". Creating udev rule with UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL=0 as stated at http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2011/0 … art-2.html solved the problem only for few sessions, after some restarts and reboots to Win it fell back to removable=0, funny isn't it?
So IMHO waiting for kernel update is pointless since the problem lays in how udev treats sata external drives generally, creating a proper udev rule to force a disk to be removable is crucial or maybe waiting for a udev bugfix to make the udisks_system_internal=0 value work and optionally adding some grub kernel parameter to NOT probe for external block devices on boot (to get rid off the confusing warings and the need for the usb hook) would be preferable for me.

[SOLVED]mpd does not detect the music directory

I recently installed mpd with the gmpc gui, set my "music_directory" in /etc/mpd.conf to the location of all of my music (which contains lots of other folders and subfolders), but there's no listing of the audio files in the database in gmpc.
Here's the /etc/mpd.conf if that helps:
# An example configuration file for MPD
# See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.
# Files and directories #######################################################
# This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the
# available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This
# setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be
# be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using
# file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
music_directory "/var/lib/mpd/music"
# This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
# directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use
# playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD
# format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.
playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"
# This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to
# load the database at server start up and store the database while the
# server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow
# MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming
# files over an accepted protocol.
db_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"
# These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.
# These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level
# settings.
# The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This
# setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.
log_file "/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"
# This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID
# for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by
# default and the pid file will not be stored.
pid_file "/var/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
# This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about
# most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before
# it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server
# state will be reset on server start up.
state_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
# The location of the sticker database. This is a database which
# manages dynamic information attached to songs.
#sticker_file "~/.mpd/sticker.sql"
# General music daemon options ################################################
# This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as
# root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after
# initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the
# current user.
user "mpd"
# This setting specifies the group that MPD will run as. If not specified
# primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set).
# This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to
# have permission to use sound card.
#group "nogroup"
# This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention
# should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any.
# This setting can deny access to control of the daemon.
# For network
#bind_to_address "any"
# And for Unix Socket
#bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket"
# This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned
# to.
#port "6600"
# This setting controls the type of information which is logged. Available
# setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting
# argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch
# available resources on limited hardware storage.
#log_level "default"
# If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
# you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
# the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix
# (available from <http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php>), at which
# point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled.
#gapless_mp3_playback "yes"
# This setting enables MPD to create playlists in a format usable by other
# music players.
#save_absolute_paths_in_playlists "no"
# This setting defines a list of tag types that will be extracted during the
# audio file discovery process. Optionally, 'comment' can be added to this
# list.
#metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"
# This setting enables automatic update of MPD's database when files in
# music_directory are changed.
#auto_update "yes"
# Limit the depth of the directories being watched, 0 means only watch
# the music directory itself. There is no limit by default.
#auto_update_depth "3"
# Symbolic link behavior ######################################################
# If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
# symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory.
#follow_outside_symlinks "yes"
# If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
# symbolic links inside of the configured music_directory.
#follow_inside_symlinks "yes"
# Zeroconf / Avahi Service Discovery ##########################################
# If this setting is set to "yes", service information will be published with
# Zeroconf / Avahi.
#zeroconf_enabled "yes"
# The argument to this setting will be the Zeroconf / Avahi unique name for
# this MPD server on the network.
#zeroconf_name "Music Player"
# Permissions #################################################################
# If this setting is set, MPD will require password authorization. The password
# can setting can be specified multiple times for different password profiles.
#password "password@read,add,control,admin"
# This setting specifies the permissions a user has who has not yet logged in.
#default_permissions "read,add,control,admin"
# Input #######################################################################
input {
plugin "curl"
# proxy "proxy.isp.com:8080"
# proxy_user "user"
# proxy_password "password"
# Audio Output ################################################################
# MPD supports various audio output types, as well as playing through multiple
# audio outputs at the same time, through multiple audio_output settings
# blocks. Setting this block is optional, though the server will only attempt
# autodetection for one sound card.

Thanks, I successfully launched mpd as a user and it detected all of my music. However, if I launch mpd with the mpd.conf that I created in my home directory, it launches, but outputs the following:
[vladislav@vladislav .mpd]$ mpd ~/.mpd/mpd.conf
listen: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded)
Is this normal?
*sigh* i answer this for the 3rd time in a row... this is no error it just says that binding to your ipv6 interface happened before the binding to ipv4.
If you want to use your ipv4 interface hardcode it in mpd.conf
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
you can also have several binds:
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
bind_to_address "192.168.1.13"
to make it listen on localhost and the external IP of your network card.
If your music is on the same machine as your mpd i recommend to use a unix socket in addition.
bind_to_address "/path/to/some/file/that/does/not/exist/yet"
and make your client connect to that file instead of the IP. Speeds things up a log e.g. in ncmpcpp
and btw: you can save your mpd.conf file as ~/.mpdconf and mpd will automatically use it.

X reads first configuration in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d then /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
When you copy 10-evdev.conf file into /etc/X11 you completly override previous system configuration. It's the reason copying synaptics configuration file into /etc/X11 fixes the issue
Defining default system configuration in /etc/X11 with previous xorg was a mistake, now it's fixed.
Wiki should be fixed. It's not a packaging bug, but a configuration bug.
@lordheavy
I agree with you that the new xf86-input-synaptics package is using the right configuration scheme, however it is breaking the functionality on every installed system. It was a packaging bug, which is now fixed, but it has to be handled manually by most users of previous versions. That's why I won't re-open the bug report FS#41589. Instead, I am asking here: shouldn't this change be notified to the users just like it has been done for most breaking changes on archlinux frontpage news?
By the way, thanks for your great work.

[SOLVED] network is not detected r8169 module is not loaded

Hey there,
I have problems to get my archlinux server running, it has no network.
It's a server at kimsufi so I only can chroot in the new installation.
It looks like the module 'r8169' isn't loaded at start, so it has no network.
After adding '/etc/modules-load.d/r8169.conf' with 'r8169' inside (w/o quotes) the journalctl says:
systemd-modules-load[92]: Failed to lookup alias 'r8169': Function not implemented
The installation is up-to-date, newest kernel.
I hope you have some ideas how to get that module loaded.
Greetings
edit: I tried it just now again and it worked atm. If network will work completely, I will mark this thread as solved.
Last edited by lookingaty (2014-02-14 21:19:43)

I'm sorry that I opened the thread.
I had built myself a kernel with kdump and had set debug and loglevel=7 parameters.
Either one of the parameter was bad or my buildprocess was bad.
Now (with the original kernel) I don't get that error and the module is loading fine.
I have (after about a month) the server up and running.
At least I got some new experience.

[solved] ArchLinux does not detect my usbstick

Hi,
I just installed ArchLinux a few days ago. Today I wanted to plugin my usbstick. I expected an icon to show up on the Gnome desktop. But nothing happened. Gnome-device-manager doesn't show anything. And dmesg also doens't mention anything about a usbstick plugged in. It's like the system doen's detect it.
Any idea why this is?

I have both HAL and DBUS in rc.conf.

[SOLVED] Wireless card not detected after upgrade

After running a pacman update today, my wireless card is no longer being detected. 'ip link' and 'iw dev' show no sign of it. My ethernet port is detected just fine.
I downgraded linux and systemd with no luck, thinking that they were the most likely culprits. Also, I dealt with the new /etc/passwd.pacnew and /etc/group.pacnew files created by the filesystem upgrade and ran the syslinux-install_update script to go along with the new version of syslinux.

I'll ask the standard issue questions. Did you perform a partial upgrade? If so, perform a pacman -Syu and try again.
Also, is the running kernel the same kernel that is installed? Compare the versions provided by uname -a and pacman -Qi linux and ensure they are exactly they are exactly the same revision.

[Solved] Xrandr does not detect external monitor

I recently just installed Arch linux on my laptop and decided to install the catalyst driver as well. I followed all the instructions on how to install catalyst and when I try to use the xrandr command it does not show my second monitor. I am using i3wm on the latest kernel and catalyst driver. I can also see a x cursor when I move my mouse to my other screen but it does show the i3bar or I cant drag a window to the other screen
Here is my xorg.conf

Never mind I just needed to delete my xorg.conf and regenerate it by
# aticonfig --initial

Satellite L50T-A - Touchpad not detected

I have a Toshiba Satellite L50T-A running Windows 8 64-bit. All of a sudden my touch pad has disappeared from settings. When I do a search for new hardware it is not detected either. Is it un plugged?
I would appreciate pictures with exactly what I must do.
Thank you in advance.

Hello
If I understand you right touchpad is not detected and not listed in device manager, right?
Problem is that you cannot do much about that and force touchpad to work.
What you can try is to test functionality with factory settings. With other words, you can set BIOS to default settings and reinstall original recovery image. After doing this your notebook will have identical settings as on first day after first start.
If you do this and the result is the same it is possible that touchpad is defective or there is some problem with touchpad connection to the mainboard. This must be checked by Toshiba service.
Do you use external mouse at the moment?

[Potentially Solved] Touchpad sometimes not detected possible IRQ.
