[SOLVED] After '-Syu' CrystalHD dev suddenly gone?
I installed the Broadcom bcm970015 as I described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=135034.
However, a 'pacman -Syu' and a restart later and now although 'modprobe crystalhd' will apparently load the module, no application seem to be able to access it anymore, and the device '/dev/crystalhd' does no longer exist. I went into the 'driver' and the 'linux_lib' dir that I had left from compiling it back then, and just did another 'sudo make install' in each, but that didn't help.
Any ideas would be appreciated as I'm clueless of what to do next. Googling the 'cant open crystalhd device' messages from VLC and the example program included with the crystalhd driver will only take me to mac/xbmc sites and the stuff there doesn't seem to match my problem or be of any help, as far as I was able to see.

Well it turns out for some reason I suddenly had an old crystalhd module installed. Don't ask me where it even came from, I have no idea oO.
I just noticed this because I saw dmesg giving
Loading crystalhd 0.9.27
which is bad. After re-installing the driver, I now get
Loading crystalhd v3.10.0
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: Starting Device:0x1615
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
again as it should be. And my /dev/crystalhd device is back.
However, programs STILL cannot use the card again -.- What I get now from dmesg is this:
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: Opening new user[0] handle
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: [crystalhd_flea_download_fw]: step 7. Error bit occured. RetVal:c00018
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: [crystalhd_flea_download_fw]: step 7. Firmware image signature failure.
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: Firmware Download Failure!! - -1
crystalhd 0000:04:00.0: Closing user[0] handle via ioctl with mode 1c200
Although I copied over the firmware binary file too (well I did that automatically by sudo make install for the driver + lib).
I'm stumped why this happens now as I'm still using the same firmware and driver I used in the very beginning when everything actually worked (and before pacman -Syu). How can the image signature fail if the files are exactly the same.. Time to google more.

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?

After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps. -
My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?
Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out. -
Issues solved after a second install of Belle
Hi.
I have been advised to reinstall Belle on my Nokia E7.
I've been told that after a second install of Belle most issues are gone.
Do you know what specific issues are solved after that reinstall?
I'm curious because I want to know if it is worthy to reinstall Belle.
Greetings from Paraguay.
Claudio Bogado Pompa.
Greetings from Paraguay.
Claudio Bogado Pompa.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Claudio,
I upgraded from Anna to Belle on the first day that Belle was available. Yesterday I re-installed Belle.
Since updating my E7 from Anna to Belle I have had mixed opinions as to whether that was wise to do.
Though Belle has a lot to like about it in features and speed, there are many things that were really good in Anna but have been degraded or are even missing in Belle. See this list which many people have contributed to:
/t5/Software-Updates/List-of-Belle-additions-corrections-needed/td-p/1328167/page/3
I have customized the home screens (use three) quite a bit and have added a number of free apps for more convenience in use of the phone.
Before I tell you my experiences and give you my reasoning I should give some background about myself and my Nokia E7-00. Note that though I am very competent with computer hardware and software I have much less knowledge and skill with cell phones.
My E7-00 is my second Nokia phone experience. I also bought an E6-00 for my wife. I got the E7 for myself because I need the large keyboard for my large fingers and I like the GPS/maps capability. I got the E6 for my wife because she was unhappy with the touch screen on her Nokia 5230 and is more comfortable with a keyboard.
I have owned my E7 for less than a year, use it primarily for my small business, and upgraded to Anna immediately after purchasing it. Though I tested using a data connection for WEB browsing for a couple of months I don't subscribe to a data service now because I found little use for it and it is (in my opinion) very expensive here in Canada. I do connect my E7 to the Internet often using WIFI through my home or business routers, and occasionally through WIFI connections at hotels and other locations when I travel.
Since upgrading to Belle I have had many occasions when my phone would freeze either momentarily or permanently (necessitating powering it off) and a few times it has completely shut off for no reason. I have had a number of occasions when I have been unable to answer an incoming call because the touch screen was unresponsive.
In trying to determine the cause of the problems with the phone I have removed apps and done soft resets of the phone.
I thought about re-installing Belle but was loath to do it because of the bad experience I had when I first upgraded from Anna to Belle. At that time I did a backup of my phone using the latest version of Nokia Suite. The download and install of the Belle update went very smoothly. But once the phone was functional again I found that I lost many things including all my customizations, my WIFI settings, and all the many map favorites (GPS coordinates) I had collected when traveling and calling on customers. The backup that the Belle installation software performed did not restore these things, and the same was true of the backup I did with Nokia Suite.
Yesterday my frustration level with the phone was such that I decided I had to try a re-install of Belle. I did another backup up the phone with Nokia Suite and synced the map favorites with Nokia's on-line service. But I also had the inspiration to download the latest version of Nokia PC Suite and do a backup with that too - a good thing I did!
I used Nokia Suite to re-install Belle. After the reinstall I again had lost all my customization, some installed apps, and all map favorites. I tried to restore things by using the backup I had done with Nokia Suite, but that did not work.
Then I restored the backup I made with Nokia PC Suite and EVERYTHING was back. I could hardly believe my good fortune. Even my map favorites were back.
Since it is little more than 24 hours since my re-install of Belle I cannot say whether it was really worth the effort. But so far the phone does seem to be behaving itself. It is a little smoother in operation with less delay and I have not had any freezing. On the other hand it has been a quiet day and the phone has not had a good workout. Still, I am hopeful.
This most recent experience makes me wonder if Nokia is making improvements in Belle without giving notification. I am wondering if the version of Belle that was used for the re-install is different from the original version I installed about a month ago.
I will not upgrade my wife's E6 to Belle until I know that the problems with Belle have been fixed.
I hope you find this information useful. -
After about five years of reliable use, my ipod Classic has suddenly gone dead. Charging seems to have no effect - no sign of life. Is there any way of rebooting it?
Start here... http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If you try the above and all else fails, leave the iPod unplugged for a few days. This should drain the battery. Once that's done, plug the iPod into power and wait (for up to thirty minutes) for the screen to turn on and charging to begin. -
After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...
Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later. -
I downloaded pics to my pc and after all my music was gone from my phone . I have repeatedly tried to sync to my iTunes but it tells me it cannot be synced to my iPhone. What's going on? Any suggestions?
Yeah everything is gone for good. The apps won't be a problem. You can just redownload them. For the music find a program that copies the music from the iphone to the computer. Then add the files to itunes ans sync.

[solved] After sytem update ALSA only plays sound for root
Hello. Yesterday I performed a system update as usual, and after rebooting I found that my user account does not have any sound anymore. Root has sound just fine. I checked and my user is still in the audio group. I even removed him from the group, added him again, and rebooted but it did not help.
I get these error messages in a terminal:
mplayer:
alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:989:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore
speaker-test:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:989:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore
Playback open error: -13,Permission denied
Running these with a sudo works 100% fine. Alsamixer levels for my user are normal too.
WORKAROUND: Restart timidity service.
SOLUTION: Do not run timidity as a service in the first place.
Last edited by mir91 (2013-11-25 13:37:12)Thanks for replying.
My root user actually doesn't play sound, I just tried to play some for testing purpose after my normal user suddenly just had silence.
Unfortunately those IPC-changes did not help. However, I removed my /etc/asound.conf file completely for testing purpose and voila, sound suddenly works again. So it seems the last update changed something that does not accept my asound configuration anymore. I will try to experiment a bit with its contents to further narrow it down.
Ok, this is strange
I commented out an entry
period_time 0
and after that my user had sound again. Then I restored that entry and...sound still works.
I will pretend I didn't see anything and just move along I guess.

Has anyone else encountered a situation where images suddenly gone missing?
i've had files suddenly gone missing on me several times. i was so sure that this might be a bug but now i think it's user error. at least my error.
a few times i wanted to delete one image and then found that several other images disappeared on me. here i realize that i forgot to deselect all of the other images before deleting the one image i intend to delete.
another time for some unexplained reason, so it seemed, several images disappeared on me. poof! i couldn't find them anywhere, but i didn't think to look in the Rejected library. later on i realize that i've pressed the zero key by mistake while the images were selected. the zero key rejects the images and placed them in the Rejected library. i've found some of my missing images in this library. phew!
for those of you who have some missing images, and haven't taken a look inside your Rejected library, take a look and maybe you'll find some of your missing images in there.
dual 2.7 ghz powerpc g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 8 gb ram, xt800 card.You might just need to clear your search by selecting
the "x" in the search field.
Not quite the same as going into the search field and changing the rating slider and selection to show only deleted as by just clearing the search field does not change the slider rating and you'll still not see the rejected files. -
IPHONE 5
Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5?
Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again?
Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
do you regularly make backups? if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again. Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone? If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name. -

Project Images/Thumbnails suddenly gone (image count visible)
Hi,
The images/thumbnails in one of my projects are suddenly gone. The project image count (number) is still visible in the projects side bar. And I can see the images in the project overview-big-icon window. But the images are not viewed/visible when I click the project. I have tried fixing the database and exporting the project but neither worked. The odd thing is . What can I do?
Thanks for your help.

My iphone 4 was updated 2 months ago, after updated the safari suddenly stopped working.I open the safari and it stops immediately. i cannot download anything or access any website through Safari. What shall i do to resolve this issue?
Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

ICal data suddenly gone and iCal stuck on birthday subscription
I am on OSX 10.8.4 - iCal data suddenly gone and iCal stuck on birthday subscription - when trying to create events, or enter any data - the following prompt comes up "You can't add or change events on the Birthdays Calendar". I can not get "off" the Birthday Calendar - I can no longer access any of the old data or use iCal at all.
- Any thoughts? Suggestions?I have a similar problem. I have been using MobileMe to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4. I noticed on Friday morning that all data prior to 6 months ago (23 Apr 2010/Fri) is gone, except for recurring appts (birthdays, mainly). MobileMe may have had something to do with it, but I never log on to the site, and I had not updated my MobileMe calendar online (or iCal on my laptop, either, for that matter). And, I also don't know exactly when I lost all this data, either, which of course doesn't help either the troubleshooting or the recovery processes.
I confirmed that all my settings (laptop, iPhone, iTunes, MobileMe online) were all set to keep all events forever and to sync all events. As part of checking all this, I got the message about updating my MobileMe calendar, which I did. I didn't lose any additional data. I am diligent about all updates, but if I had realized I was switching from keeping all my calendar data on my laptop to keeping it all on a MobileMe server, I wouldn't have gone ahead.
Anyway, a Genius confirmed that my settings all look good. I went through the Express Lane chat process and am now in touch with a MobileMe Senior Advisor. We'll see. I'm not especially hopeful but will let y'all know how it proceeds. -
