[Solved] Atheros Wireless Fails after Update

After the update to kernel 3.6.37 the wireless on my Macbook pro is close to useless, but used to work very well before. Madwifi was upgraded as well but I suspect another problem.
Using WICD there is no wireless at all! With networkmanager the available networks are visible and sometimes logs on. However, the network fails quickly and starts asking for the password - most of the time it is useless typing in the password again. So the wireless is basically working but very unstable with networkmanager and non-existent anymore with WICD.
Any ideas?

Found out more which might be significant for madwifi users:
According to the wiki I loaded the following modules in rc.conf: ath-hal, ath9k, wlan
Beside this one line in the modprobe.conf should be added: alias ath0 ath_pci. This way wicd as well as networkmanager used ath0 for connecting to wireless.
After the update I noticed that there is another wifi device in ifconfig listed: wlan0. So I suspected that 2 devices pointing at the same hardware may cause the instability, but de-activating one by ifconfig didn't help. Now I noticed by loading the modules one by one that the new ath9k is already defining wlan0 and the wireless starts working without loading the module wlan. It looks stable so far, but if I should be right I'm impossibly the only one having this trouble.
Confirmation would be nice, but I will mark this thread "solved" now.

  • [SOLVED] Wireless fails after suspending (Realtek 8192se)

    This problem is already solved on the first post: I spent so long trying to solve it that I thought people should know the solution.
    I have a Lenovo X100e with a Realtek 8192SE wireless card.  I'm running kernel 3.0.  The machine has, since upgrading to the 3.0 kernel had the annoying problem of failing wireless connections after suspending: I'll have a running wireless connection, then suspend the machine, and then wake the machine up and the machine cannot connect to any wireless network (perhaps the same one I was connected to before, in the same place). 
    Things that did not work:
    Installing the Realtek drivers from their website
    Downgrading the kernel from 3.1 to 3.0
    Using wicd instead of networkmanager
    Walking around
    Other distributions
    The solution was to put an entry in /etc/pm/config.d/config:
    SUSPEND_MODULES="rtl8192se rtlwifi mac80211 cfg80211"
    Now the machine reconnects with no problems.
    This may be the solution to the other big problem I was having with the 3.1 kernel: I would suspend the machine by any means and the screen goes black and the machine becomes non-responsive without actually suspending.  I may try upgrading to the 3.1 kernel and adding radeon to the SUSPEND_MODULES list above.

  • [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:

  • [SOLVED] GTK applications failing after latest update

    Several GTK applications are failing after the latest updates.
    So far, I have found Bleachbit and Gtkpacman are crashing, but there may be more.

    VERY many thanks once again.
    pacman -Q pygtk gtk2 give different versions, as I haven't yet been able to fix my previous problem with Firefox 3.6 (machine in constant use), so I guess that's the problem.

  • [Solved] Severely broken system after update

    I need help with system that doesn't boot after update.
    I tried to make pacman -Syu on a system which was not updated since 2010 xmass... probably being overwhelmed by number of issues I did something wrong, but now the system is in a very bad state.
    I think that the main issue was glibc update. I followed the instruction to install all other packages before glibc, but every second package was complaining about glibc (although they all updated). Then pacman became broken, but I solved this and finally everything got updated.
    Everything looked fine right after update, but now the system is "unable to find root device" on boot.
    I tried to boot with recent arch usb stick (cd drive is broken in the computer), but it doesn't boot (reboots right after "loading archiso.img"). I managed to boot with ubuntu usb stick. I chrooted to my arch partition using these instructions:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot#Change_root
    then, following pacman wiki I reinstalled linux, mkinitcpio and systemd.
    It didn't help. The last thing I can think of is to reinstall all packages via chroot. Is there any handy way to do this, taking into account that some packages could have been installed from AUR (I don't care about them at this point, but I wouldn't like this to stop me from reinstalling all other packages)?
    Any other ideas?
    Last edited by senjin (2012-09-15 19:34:26)

    It's not a solution since arch installation usb stick doesn't work for me, as I mentioned above. I must either make this installation work, or move to ubuntu (gah!)
    edit:
    I managed to boot. After the error message at the beginning I'm left with "you can type exit to continue booting, but it will most likely fail"... it doesn't fail, and system appears to be working normally (well, except some error about consolekit when X is starting, probably unrelated).
    Now the question is how to avoid this error message at the beginning...

  • [SOLVED] Problem w/ lxdream after updating/reinstalling OS.

    Hi,
    Yesterday I've made update on OS and then I've got Kernel panic... So I've recovered data and reinstalled OS (it was the best option for me, because previous system was such a mess). After installing OS I've compiled by myself lxdream and after copying 'bios data' to ~/.lxdream it gaves me "Illegal instruction" ("Bledna instrukcja" in polish). So, I've tried compiling from the AUR and I've got this same result. Before update/reinstall everything was working ok. This is from 'gdb lxdream' and typing 'run':
    Starting program: /(path_to)/lxdream

    I'm using xorg-server 1.7.5.902-1 and nvidia-96xx/nvidia-96xx-utils.
    It's not bug in alsa, because on previous install I've got alsa underrun occured and everything was working ok. Also it have other optional audio drivers (alsa,esd,sdl,null). Even on 'null' it's not working.
    I don't know what a problem is with lxdream, because previously it was working ok with the same drivers and 3rd party applications/libraries.
    It looks that some package after update have broken compatibility. I need this emu, because it's needed for me for Homebrew Development.
    I'll test lxdream on second PC with similiar specs, that have ArchLinux slightly outdated.
    It's my first post and sorry for my English, I'm Polish.
    Thanks a lot.
    // it works okay on second (not mine) pc, it has xorg-server 1.7.5.901 and open source ati radeon drivers (called 'radeon'), I don't know if that helps, if I would know how to debug it...

    It looks that it's ia gtk or gl/glx bug, because when I comment this line 'glOrtho( 0, video_width, video_height, 0, 0, 65535 );' it runs, but when I get cursor over GL display it will crash with:
    Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
    on_video_window_mouse_motion (widget=0xadff940, event=0xae03c18,
    user_data=0xae94600) at gtkui/gtk_win.c:133
    133 int x = (int)event->x;
    So it's looks that it is a GL/GLX or GTK bug. On that PC gtk version is 2.18.7, mine is 2.20.0.
    Update:
    I think, that it is a GTK 2.20.0 related problem...

    I see something odd with the symlink in the first row. Is this the problem? If so, then how would I fix it?

  • [SOLVED] charging + touchpad problem after update

    *******EDIT*******
    after trying some other live cds, the problems below are almost certainly hardware related, with timing of update coincidental.
    hi all,
    I have a Asus UX32VD. I was travelling for a few weeks and updated when I got home, including the kernel to 3.10.44
    now the battery stops charging around 50% (tried two chargers at two different locations)
    $ acpi -i
    Battery 0: Charging, 48%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge.
    Battery 0: design capacity 5863 mAh, last full capacity 4920 mAh = 83%
    also the touchpad stopped working entirely (was not recognized in 'xinput list') but after some searching I blacklisted i2c-hid, which seems to have helped, but the touchpad still sometimes becomes unresponsive (especially when unplugging/plugging in power) and leaves the following in the journal:

    I'm also having some other smaller issues that I'll work on before asking about. I tried rolling back the kernel back to before the update but it didn't change the charging behaviour or help with the touchpad. I'm going to try rolling everything  serious-looking back but wanted to post first in case anyone has any ideas.
    thanks for the help, and please let me know anything else required.

    I have the same problem with the touchpad. It stopped working after update.

  • [Solved] Strange font problem - after update.

    Hello guys,
    encountered a strange small font problem on sites with code wrappers like stackoverflow/blogs/jsfiddle. After update. took a look at my font setup all looks good.
    I've also checked the settings for gtk2/3 and no problems there.

    Update:
    Tried reinstalling, change the fonts, remove all font clear the cache.
    change, look up the settings, looked up size, tried monitor dpi.
    checked all the config files for anything remotely related to this problem.
    Had a quick look at the bug tracker for google-chrome-beta as well no reported
    font problems as far as i can find.
    Update2:
    Tried adding custom.css to the browser not even that worked.
    update3: [SOLVED]
    So i solved the problem.
    The problem was a faulty font that was stuck and used in the pre somehow.
    Removed and added another to the list and somehow that worked.
    recommendations - if anyone has this problem in the future.
    open firefox and look in the font tab what is used. and remove that
    or try to install a fixed one. that should work.
    -Nothing has yielded any working results.
    So any ideas at this point would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -L

  • Build failed after updating to CTP 3.1

    Hi,
    After updating to CTP 3.1, I created a blank cordova project and tried to build it.It shows build failed.I can see a warning - The typescript file was given no files for compilation .However this shouldn't stop the build ?
    Please advise.

    Set your build verbosity to diagnostic (Tools>Options>Projects and Solutions>Build and Run>Set MSBuild project build output verbosity= Diagnostic) and rebuild your project.   The added details should reveal why the build is failing.

  • [Solved]Qtcurve style disappeared after update

    After updated to version 0.65.1-1,and now i can't select qtcurve from systemsettings-->styles,and in kdeglobals "widgetStyle=qtcurve",but in fact oxygen style is used .How can i get qtcurve style back?
    Edit:I downloaded the PKGBUILD file and recompiled (version 0.65.3-1),just as Pierre said,and now it works.Thanks for all your replies.

    Putting your web root in /usr/share is a stupid idea. You should just override defaults with /srv/ as appropriate for your own setup. The shipped default is only so it shows a page at all the first time you start it up, not a recommendation you put your own files there.

  • [SOLVED]Re-enable TouchPad after updating from Plasma 5.1.2 to 5.2.0

    This is my first post here. I have been an Arch user for nearly 2 years now and have finally had to troubleshoot an issue that had no fix on here or in the wiki so I wanted to share. After updating Plasma from 5.1.2 to 5.2.0 my touchpad on my Samsung series 3 was being disabled between the display manager and the KDE splash screen. To fix this I had to re-enable the touchpad in:
    ~/.config/ktouchpadenablerrc
    from
    touchpadEnabled=false
    to
    touchpadEnabled=true
    I hope this keeps someone else from 2 days of troubleshooting.
