[SOLVED] ACPI no longer detects battery after update

Earlier today I upgraded my system (using the traditional 'sudo pacman -Syyu'). After a reboot, I noticed that xfce's power widget no longer had a battery picture by it. It believes my laptop to be plugged in at all times. I went to look at the settings, but it doesn't realize that there IS a battery.
I went into a terminal and typed 'acpi' and was met with:
(0) [scott@destruct-o-bot ~]% acpi
No support for device type: power_supply
but I do in fact have a battery... I have no idea where to look. Also, some of the power buttons work (i have my /etc/acpi/handler.sh set to handle a bunch of different buttons, like suspend), but others that used to no longer do.
I thought I should see if there was an update to fix it a few hours later there was an update for acpi. It did not however fix it.
Thanks
--Scott

[SOLVED] vi (vim) no longer works properly after updating the system

After updating the system with pacman -Syu vi stopped working. All syntax colors are gone, and everything is grey. When I press i to enter "insert" mode, editing is not visible. Changes are obscure and you can't tell what you are modifying. Quitting with :q will still prompt you to use :q! to abort changes, even if no changes were visibly made.
When scrolling to the beginning or end of a file, the screen flashes with grey glitch like areas. What happened to my vi!?!?!?!?!?
This all happened while following the beginner's guide to install arch linux. I realized this when trying to arbitrarily read a test file I made directly after updating.
The problems continued to be visible when installing and setting up sudo (those steps are the next steps that require vi)... I think the sudo installation worked... but my vi is horribly glitchy
Any ideas?

Setting EDITOR does not help in every case. For instance, visudo is by default hard linked to vi. (You can change this, I know. )
But in fact, vi is only a symlink to ex. So I simply renamed this link and put another symlink to vim (vim-big in my case since I in fact do use the gvim package).
/usr/bin/vi -> vim-big
/usr/bin/vi-simple -> ex
The drawback is that I have to set those links on every vi-update. (But I sure will remember...)

OT: A simpler way to check if some packages are installed:
$ pacman -Q intel-dri libgl foobar
intel-dri 9.0-1
libgl 9.0-1
error: package 'foobar' was not found
What's the output of 'groups'? Maybe you need to add yourself to 'video' group?

Display no longer functions correctly after update

After updating this morning (the only package updated being wayland), the display on my main computer (laptop still works fine) no longer works properly. It is a bit difficult to describe the problem: there is a constantly changing display of symbols in various colours, "behind" which the usual terminal messages are still legible, though a bit garbled. This began right after re-boot following the update. Because the problem is apparent immediately when the display starts with the manufacturer's logo, I thought at first my monitor had given up. But the same problem occurs on a replacement monitor, which leads me to think it is a software problem. Any hints -- or even better -- a solution? X won't start, making it pretty useless. I can still ssh into it from my laptop, but a real solution is required. My graphics card is NVidia, if that matters (Intel on my laptop).
Many thanks!
Thea
PS I should add, I have read other posts from today regarding similar display issues, and this one appears to be different, although perhaps related. I retrograded the wayland package, but the problem remains. Wayland was the only package I updated-- that is, the only difference between pre-update (no problems) and post-update (dispaly does not work properly).
PPS further details:
1. The problem is already apparent at start-up (push the ON button): the computer (not the monitor) manufacturer name appears, but the display is in dashed lines.
2. After Arch Linux boot and login, there are 5 vertical bands each about 4cm (1.5 ") wide of "shimmering" pixel colour squares spaced evenly across the screen, the intervening spaces are "normal" -- that is, display correctly and without problem. So to some extent, still workable. X will not start, giving me an error message:(/var/log/Xorg.0.log)
NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module
with the advice to consult kernel.log. However, this log (and all other kernel logs) is empty.
3. When the monitor goes into standby mode, the "shimmering" bands are still visible.
Update 1:
After mesa update this afternoon (21 Feb.) video display returned to normal (ok, mesa depends on wayland) until trying unsuccessfully to start X. Since then (and also after a couple of reboots) the problem is the same. Am hoping the silence on this issue indicates that work is in progress in fixing it.
Update 2:
After a night in a cold office (I live in southern Ontario) and a literally cold boot (but no updates), everything appears to be back to normal.
Still, it would be nice to know what the problem was.
Update 3:
So much for magic. This morning (23 Feb.) after normal system update (no obvious problematic packages relating to graphics) the display oroblem returned, as before. Fresh boot made no difference. What's going on??
Am re-posting this as a new message. Monday, start of the week, who knows, maybe someone can help.

Android 4.4 (KitKat) introduced big changes to SD card support.
Android KitKat Blocks Some Access to Micro SD Cards
You can find many other articles regarding the SD card problem by searching on the internet.
We will be investigating the problem.
To work around the problem in the meantime, could you copy some of the PDF files from your SD card to internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/...) and see if Adobe Reader can read from and write changes to PDF files on your internal storage. (It should work based on my limited testing. But please verify it.)
You can use any Android File Manager app to move/copy files. Samsung phones and tablets typically has "My Files" as the built-in File Manager.
Alternatively, you can transfer the PDF files to Acrobat.com (free cloud storage service) and access them from Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if any of the suggested approaches work for you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[SOLVED] impossible to boot (UEFI-grub2) after update

Hi,
problem : after update my computer refuses to boot. It doesn't get to the grub2 (actually 1.99) menu, it just says : no boot device found.
My hardware : Asus M8Z77-V LX motherboard with 1 SSD.
In the bios I disabled the bios legacy option to force it to boot with UEFI.
As I hadn't moved to systemd yet, I waited to update a while(2 months).
Last week I updated several pacakges by hand (kernel, vlc, ...) : All updates that according to me didn't involve with systemd.
Then I rebooted and ... problem.
I have tried a whole weekend to solve it by browsing through the wiki's but to no avail.
I can boot with live-cd and access my SSD. All data is there. I can also chroot and do stuff.
The SSD is partitionned in GPT as follows :
sda1 : 1 gb fat 32
sda2 : 20 gb ext4 root
sda3 : 20 gb ext4 var
sda4 : 79 gb ext4 home
I did not do any update of my bios or changed anything on my hardware.
It seems that my bios does not see my SSD as UEFI-bootable device anymore.
When I installed Arch in June on my brand new computer I made a backup with redobackup (partclone) of a working installation.
As a final ressort I put back the image I created then.
But it doesn't work either!
Then I updated my bios but same problem.
My bios can see the fat 32 partition. I know this because to update the bios it looks for attached fat 32 storage and there is shows the partition .
I there anywone who can point me in a good direction?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I am sorry if I lost your confidence. I can't find any contradictory info in my post.
The Arch Wiki-Grub 2 says that you need to boot in UEFI before you can (re)install grub2.
As my live-cd won't boot in UEFI mode, the only option is that I make a live-usb stick and see if that one will boot in UEFI.
But in the end it is still strange that a software update breaks my Asus UEFI-boot.
I just found another unlucky guy with a simular problem. I'll try his solution tonight.

I will try the live-usb method and report on it later.

[SOLVED] Network Manager systemd unit fails after update

EDIT: Reinstalling libnm-glib resolved this issue
After updating to the latest version of NetworkManager (networkmanager-0.9.8.10-3), the systemd unit fails to start. It works fine after downgrading back to the previous version though (networkmanager-0.9.8.10-1). I'm not sure if this is a bug or an error on my end; since the previous package works I've just dowgraded for the time being. For the update that doesn't work, here is the output of "systemctl status" and the systemd journal:

Illustrator CC used to support edrw (SolidWorks) files but Illustrator CC 2014 no longer seems to after updating today, Is this the case?

We are sent SolidWorks files by our supplier and they used to open so that we could make minor adjustments where needed, mainly language conversion and dimensions alterations but the .edrw file format no longer seems to be supported after updating to Illustrator CC 2014. Has Adobe tightened the noose of monopolistic limitation even further with this update?

Hello ikon,
Could you please verify in your AICC installation plugins folder that you do not have any additional 3rd party plugins installed to enable this import? Also, AICC 2014 installation happens in a folder parallel to AICC so you would need to install/copy the 3rd party plugin into AICC 2014 plugins folder. It is most likely that you have an additional plugin installed in AICC which is not there in AICC 2014.
Please confirm as we do not support these files import natively in AI or in other previous versions.
Regards,
Dhirendra

IPhone heating up, laggy, slow and low battery after updating to 7.1.1

I mean, after upgrading to 7.1 my iPhone 4 worked very well, actually worked pretty fast, I felt like I'm back on iOS 6, and liked the iOS 7 for the first time. But now after updating to 7.1.1, battery drains very quickly, it's so slow, and laggy, also iPhone heats up really fast when I'm using it. Is it the same to you or it's happening just to me? My friend also called me last night and said "Is your iPhone heating up like mine", it seems I'm not the only one??
Also, iPhone heats up mostly around the camera...

Even my iphone 4 was heating up like ****, i cant even touch it with my bear hands... Too much heat, too much draining of battery. Even normal usage without any data connection & wifi, i am getting 2-3 hours backup. That is too ridiculous. I'm going crazy with this bloody 7.1.1 update. I am starting hating iphone for the first time because of this issue...
