Problems with browsers and 'w' key since updates

Hi
I ran 'pacman -Syu' a little over a week ago, and since then I've been experiencing two rather odd problems.
1.
Using any web-browser (firefox, epiphany, songbird, etc), visiting pages that make use of javascript (i -think- that's the cause) makes the browser stop responding for 10-20 seconds. It goes grey and everything. And then eventually it starts working again. This occurs on many websites such as Facebook, Woot.com, to name a few big ones. It's really starting to drive me nuts.
2.
This problem's much weirder. After starting my computer, the w key is very unresponsive. By that I mean for a 'w' keystroke to register I need to hold down the 'w' key for 1 or 2 seconds, after which it will finally work. At first I thought this was a problem with my keyboard, but as the computer remains on, the problem slowly disappears - after about 30 minutes, the 'w' key works as expected. I don't think this is an X/GNOME problem, as I experience the same problems in the TTYs.
I have a Sony Vaio FE-890:

I've been updating frequently in the interim hoping the problems will go away, but so far no luck. Any thoughts?

Hi
Thanks for your suggestions.
Also, flash doesn't work on webpages anymore. I'm assuming this is some problem with the nspluginwrapper thing...

  • Problems with Firefox and 10.6.5 update

    I just updated my iMac to 10.6.5. Now many of my favorite websites open for a couple of seconds but then quit unexpectedly. I ran the disk utility and there were no errors and then repaired permissions but the problem continues. Curiously, there is no problem using Safari so it appears to be a problem with 10.6.5 and Firefox only.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks Sig and ScuseMe.
    I thought I was running the most recent version of Firefox since I had just checked the Firefox updater today and it said no new updates were available. So when I read your posts and saw you two were using version 3.6.12, I checked which version I actually had in my Applications folder and it showed 3.5!!
    So I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.12 and the problem is solved.
    Thanks very much guys...Apple folks are the best!

  • 7310 - Problem with CIFS and Roaming Profiles since upgrade to 2010.Q1.0.2

    We have developed a strange problem with our environment which I'm pretty sure is down to the upgrade to 2010.Q1.0.2 from 2009.Q3.4.1 on our 7310 (all the previous 2009 releases had been fine) since nothing else has changed in our environment. I suspect some changes to the underlying CIFS server causing this?
    We have virtual Windows servers hosted on a VMWare VSphere cluster which are stored on the 7310 via iSCSI LUNs and also CIFS shares on the 7310 for home directories and separate CIFS shares for roaming profiles - all paths are correct in AD for each user - we also use folder redirection for XP Pro clients to force things like "Application Data", "My Documents" etc. onto the Homedir share.
    What we've been seeing recently (which only started happening after the upgrade) is a lot of failed logons to the domain for users. It looks like the usual corrupted profile problem that has plagued Windows forever ...the usual messages that it cannot log the user on with a copy of their roaming profile, and that it will use a temporary one. Some folder redirections (that are initiated via Group Policy) also don't get applied. Users don't see errors when logging off from a "good" profile, and NTUSER.DAT etc. seemingly gets written correctly - the next time they log on, around half the time the users will get these errors as described below:
    Event viewer logs show "cannot find the file specified" errors for NTUSER.DAT, along with "directory name is invalid" errors for some of the folder redirections.
    More worrying (and what I think might be the real reason for these failures) are the "offline caching is enabled on the roaming profile share" errors. I think that the client-side caching might not be working - possibly the profiles aren't getting flushed and written correctly upon logout?
    Now, unfortunately the MMC snap-in for managing shares doesn't seem to support changing the behaviour for client-side caching on the CIFS shares (as confirmed in the latest 7000-series Admin Guide on page 198).
    I've been thinking about unchecking the "Enable Oplocks" box which from the CIFS side would completely stop all client-side caching I presume?
    Is this likely to be the culprit here, or is there any other known behaviour that could be causing these errors? Is it also worth disabling "Cache device usage" altogether for the Profiles share itself?
    Can anyone help? It's a bit of a strange problem, and something I don't want to raise with Sun on our support contract just yet, since at first glance it looks like a Windows problem, but I suspect the storage could well be to blame...

    Unfortunately, this is still not working correctly...
    So, it looks like it's not related to the offline caching seeing as it all works on the Q2009 despite the warnings...
    Some more errors coming out of userenv.log on the affected Windows machines:
    USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:230 ReconcileFile: GetFileAttributes on the source failed with error = 2
    USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:230 CopyProfileDirectoryEx: ReconcileFile failed with error = 2
    and later:
    USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:245 GetShareName: WNetGetConnection initially returned error 2250
    USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:245 CopyProfileDirectoryEx: Leaving with a return value of 0
    USERENV(280.284) 10:07:33:245 RestoreUserProfile: CopyProfileDirectory failed. Issuing default profile
    ...which then forces the TEMP profiles.
    All other errors linked to this look like "file not found", "invalid path" etc. when the files are present and the paths are correct.
    Manually mapping drives using CIFS with UNC paths sporadically fails too now. We have a bunch of GPOs that map shares to users depending on their group memberships - these too are sporadically failing.
    It certainly looks to me like it could be a CIFS problem introduced in the Q2010 release.
    I'm going to raise a ticket with Sun...

  • Problem with Creative Cloud Desktop app since update to Windows 8.1

    Hi, I have updated my desktop and laptop to Windows 8.1 over the past day, and have noticed a problem with the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

  • Problems with "v", "]", and command keys on the keyboard

    Hi,
    On my MacBook, pressing either the "v" key or the command key to the left of the space bar, without pressing the other one as in a keyboard shortcut, pastes what is currently on my clipboard. Pressing only the command key to the right of the space bar, and not the "]" key in combination, moves me forward in my web browser. When I do press the "]" key, nothing happens (I had to copy and paste the "]" and the "v" for this post). Obviously this is somewhat annoying as typing anything with these two symbols becomes a chore. I am still able to use other keyboard shortcuts, however, but in doing so the command key either pastes from the clipboard or, if I'm using a web browser, moves me to the next page in my history before completing the shortcut. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Try resetting your SMC.
    Resetting the System Management Controller >>
    Try resetting PRAM:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound (bong) for four times.
    6. Release the keys.
    If neither help, you could have a hardware issue with the keyboard.

  • Problem with foreign and primary keys migration from SQL Server to Oracle

    Hi folks, i'm using SQL Developer to migrate from a SQL Server database to Oracle and i'm stuck with a couple issues:
    The worst of them so far is the fact that i can't migrate any of the PKs and FKs. After successfully capturing the SQL Server DB model and converting it to Oracle, when the tool generates the scripts, all ALTER TABLE queries that add the PKs and FKs have their target columns duplicated.
    for example: when i'm trying to migrate a simple table that contains an Id (PK) and Name columns, the tool generates the following scripts:
    PROMPT Creating Table TestTable...
    CREATE TABLE TestTable (
    Id NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL,
    Name VARCHAR2 NOT NULL
    PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_TestTable on table TestTable ...
    ALTER TABLE TestTable
    ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TestTable PRIMARY KEY
    Id,
    Id
    ENABLE
    As for the FKs, the tool duplicates the columns as well:
    ALTER TABLE SomeTable
    ADD CONSTRAINT FK_SomeTable_SomeTable2 FOREIGN KEY
    SomeTable2Id,
    SomeTable2Id
    REFERENCES SomeTable2
    Id,
    Id
    ENABLE
    Does anyone have a clue on how to solve these issues? I'd be greatly thankful for any answers!

    Hi Fernando,
    I was unable to replicate this issue. My primary / foreign keys where defined using unique columns.
    PROMPT Creating Primary Key Constraint PK_Suppliers on table Suppliers ...
    ALTER TABLE Suppliers
    ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Suppliers PRIMARY KEY
    SupplierID
    ENABLE
    I tried a few things like
    capturing twice and renaming both models the same
    renaming the converted models
    but with no luck.
    I think this issue is occuring either at the capture or convert phase.
    1) Are you performing the capture online or offline?
    2) Can you provide a the entire DDL for one of these tables and its indexes to see if I can replicate?
    3) Did the capture or convert fail or have to be redone at any stage ?
    I all else fails I would attempt a capture and convert again using a brand new repository (create a new schema in Oracle and associate the migration repository with it).

  • Problem With Home And End keys

    Hi
    I cleaned the keyboard of my ibook G4 about two days ago. The ibook was switched off at the time but now I can't seem to access the left (Home) and right (End) cursor keys (When pressed nothing happens).
    The up (Pg Up) and down (Pg Dn) keys are working fine. I've obviously pressed a combination of keys that has resulted in turning off my Left and Right cursor keys. How on earth do I rectify what I've done. I've looked in my G4 manual but to no avail. If somebody can help me that would be terrific.
    Many thanks
    L.

    zsh unfortunately doesn't read /etc/inputrc, which tells the shell what commands sent by the terminal emulator mean.
    add the following to your .zshrc, and you should be fine.
    # key bindings
    bindkey "e[1~" beginning-of-line
    bindkey "e[4~" end-of-line
    bindkey "e[5~" beginning-of-history
    bindkey "e[6~" end-of-history
    bindkey "e[3~" delete-char
    bindkey "e[2~" quoted-insert
    bindkey "e[5C" forward-word
    bindkey "eOc" emacs-forward-word
    bindkey "e[5D" backward-word
    bindkey "eOd" emacs-backward-word
    bindkey "ee[C" forward-word
    bindkey "ee[D" backward-word
    bindkey "^H" backward-delete-word
    # for rxvt
    bindkey "e[8~" end-of-line
    bindkey "e[7~" beginning-of-line
    # for non RH/Debian xterm, can't hurt for RH/DEbian xterm
    bindkey "eOH" beginning-of-line
    bindkey "eOF" end-of-line
    # for freebsd console
    bindkey "e[H" beginning-of-line
    bindkey "e[F" end-of-line
    # completion in the middle of a line
    bindkey '^i' expand-or-complete-prefix
    by the way, i've changed some of the keys. for instance, ctrl-left and ctrl-right move back and forward by whole words. default is alt i believe.

  • Problem with routine and it's infoobject (update rules)

    In Metadata Repository my comm structure doesn't have an infoobject that is there in Adm. Workbench. That infoobject was included in a routine in update rules for other infoobject that was removed from the cube. In Metadata Repository the routine is still present in update rules, but not in Adm. Workbench. That makes me unable to remove it from the comm structure and of course delete the object.
    How can I remove this routine? How can I make changes in Metadata?
    BD - TRules - URules - Cube
    A(numc) - A(numc) - B[routine converting A(numc to date)] - B

    Jerry,
    I had two objects:
    ZDWIP_AUX is in comm structure and datasources
    ZDWIP_REM is in Cube and Update Rules (the routine mentioned ZDWIP_AUX)
    I deleted ZDWIP_REM from the cube and from catalogue.
    Automatically removed in update rules.
    ZDWIP_AUX is unmovable from comm structure and can't be deleted because it says that is in use by a routine that I can't see.
    By recreating IObject do you mean, recreate all the scenario and remove in a different, like first the clean the recreated routine?!

  • Re: Equium P300-19O - Problem with mute and illumination keys

    Up until this point i have had no complaints with my laptop having purchased it two years ago.
    Above the keyboard next to the power button is the media touch pad that allows the illumination of parts of the laptop and pause/play button etc for media playback.
    Two days ago i turned on my laptop and i noticed that these buttons no longer worked and even when the laptop was turned off and the power cables not inserted the lights stayed on.
    I don't know what to do can anybody offer any suggestions or help??

    thnks for all help guys managed to get it working again for some reason it seems to have started working again after i took the battery out and then rebooted it again so simple yet something i didnt think of doing in the first place.
    Again thanks for all the help

  • Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

    Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
    I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
    I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
    Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
    Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.

  • Is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

    is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

    Here's the problems I'm having with iPad 2 and iOS 5.1:
    Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
    But weird things happened after syncing.
    (1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
    (2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
    Anyone know what's going on here?
    I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
    I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
    Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
    Unsure what's going on ...

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.
