[SOLVED] broadcom-wl works during install, but not after.

I have this macbook air which I'm beating into submission, and it has a broadcom wifi chip. I followed the instructions here for the installation and it worked perfectly. After booting into my newly installed system I do the same, but when I do 'modprobe wl' it fails with:
# modprobe --verbose wl
insmod /lib/modules/3.14.5-1-ARCH/extramodules/wl.ko.gz
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Invalid argument
I checked with 'lsmod' and none of the blacklisted modules are loaded. I have no idea how to proceed but it should work since it worked during installation. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: As user Namarrgon on irc pointed out, I needed to rebuild the broadcom-wl package. The reason it worked in the live usb and not in the installed system is probably because the installed system had a later kernel than the one on the live usb.

At least for rt2870sta, it's a retarded bug in Linux that was introduced in 2.6.31 and is still not fixed. It works in the live environment because it has an older kernel.
Kernel 2.6.31 module conflicts
The 2.6.31 kernel caused the rt2870 driver to conflict with other wireless modules. The fix in this thread says that you need to blacklist the rt2800usb rt2x00usb and rt2x00lib modules by modifying the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=( ... !rt2800usb !rt2x00usb !rt2x00lib ... )

Wireless recognized during install but not after

Hi guys,
I just installed Archlinux using my wireless network (i've installed ANYTHING, no drivers, no firmwares). Everything gone fine but after the installation I rebooted my system and... SURPRISE! The system couldn't bring up the wlan0 interface (recognized by ifconfig -a) because of: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
So after investigating, I found that I need the ralink driver. In fact, I've downloaded it and putted in /lib/firmware
Now I can bring up my IF but when I use THE SAME wpa_supplicant.conf file used during install, nothing, it doesn't work.
If you need more details tell me, but first of all... WHY during the install everything went fine and after no?! Is it a bit strange... no?
Thanks all
(using Archlinux x64 on Acer 5735z)

Flash video works onDreamweaver preview but not after uploaded to site

Hi,
I created a page with FW CS3 and opened it with Dream weaver.
Using Flash CS3 I created some video clips. I then inserted three
video files to the web page. In DW preview mode I can see the
videos. I copy the source code and pasted it to the index page of
my website as well as uploaded all the sit files from my hard drive
folder to the website. The page comes up but not the videos.

Search this forum for "FLASH" "UPLOAD". You'll find hundreds
of answers.

[Solved] Atheros AR8151 working during install,not on installed system

Hi.
I need help with Atheros AR 8151 ethernet card.
Problem is that I installed Arch without problem,and after reboot eth0 is not existing anymore.
Driver for card is atl1c,and it is loaded.
Any help will do,thank you in advance.
# ip link set etho up
Cannot find device "eth0"
Last edited by dare023 (2013-01-16 21:28:54)

It most likely has to do with the change to the new systemd package.
https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 24231.html
If you do an 'ip link' and you see the interfaces other than lo, they will have a different interface name.
This is a quick fix:
ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules
This will revert back to the old naming scheme ie: eth0, wlan0, etc
If this doesn't work, or it isn't the issue, you can just delete the created symlink.

[solved] Synaptics Touchpad works in GDM but not in Gnome Session

Hey,
i just installed arch x86_64 to a Amilo Pa 3553 Notebook with synaptics touchpad driver.
It's working in gdm perfectly but after login i cannot click, wether tabbing nor klicking.
But i can move the coursor.
Touchpad is recognized in Xorg.log without any errors or warnings.
Any Idea what went wrong?
SOLVED
It was just a check in the gnome touchpad settings at "Mausklick per Touchpad freischalten".
Sorry, i don't know in english, but it means something like "activate Click per touchpad"

I too am having the same problem. This only seems to happen after I connect to a projector by the VGA port on my Lenovo T500. I use the display port to connect to a 30" apple cinema display and have no issues. Have not had much luck in finding what changes in the gnome config when this problem arises.
I am looking forward to anyone being able to explain what is actually changing and why. WIll continue to dig into this and post a workaround if I find one.

NavigateToURL Works During Testing But Not Once Published

Trying to create a simply hyperlink in Flash. Works perfectly during testing. But when I upload to the net, clicking the link takes me to www.thirdnewhope.com/iamtnh.blogspot.com rather than to just www.iamthn.blogspot.com. I've tried changing allowscriptaccess to always. That doesn't work either. I am stumped :-(

GPRM Button scripts work in Simulate, but not after burning

Hello everyone:
I have a question regarding GPRM-based buttons and scripting menu navigation. My scripts work perfectly in DVD Studio Pro's simulate mode, but after building and formatting a DVD, the scripts do not function properly on a set top box, in Apple DVD Player, or when playing from the Video TS folder. The scripts were based off of a tutorial by Hal MacLean at dvdstudiopro.co.uk.
Essentially, I have one track which is accessed via a Main Menu or a Chapters Menu. There is an animation that plays at the head of each menu, so menu has a loop point. The user should return to the correct screen, the correct button should be highlighted, and the menu should jump to the loop point. All of these things happen in simulate mode, but after burning, the loop point is ignored: The correct menu and buttons are highlighted, but the menu plays from the beginning. Here is how the project is laid out:
From the main menu, if the user chooses Play Movie, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 1
Jump Feature
From the main menu, if the user chooses Chapters, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 0
Jump Chapters Menu
Each of the chapter buttons is assigned to the start of a scene. The feature's menu call is assigned to the following script:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1]
I was able to make the menus behave properly by writing the scripts this way:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu Script [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu Script [GPRM 1]
Main Menu Script:
Jump Main Menu(Loop)
Chapters Menu Script:
Jump Chapters Menu (Loop)
But, although the user is returned to the correct menu and the loop point, now only the default button is highlighted.
Has anyone run into the same issues? Can anyone see any flaws in my scripts, or have any suggests? i would really appreciate any thoughts you all have. Thanks for your time!

Do you have any pre scripts atached to the menus? I was having the same problems as you and found that pre scripts and GPRMs don't play nice (at least in DSP). Removing the pre scripts solved my issue.

Preloader works in Flash, but not after upload

Hi all. I'm having problems with a preloader. When I test the
preloader in Flash (using the simulate download option) it works
like a charm. I publish and upload the file to the server...and
when you visit the site, you just get a blank white page until
everything is loaded. I have included the code. Please
remember...it works correctly when simulating a download in Flash,
but it does not work at all after upload. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

Naw...didn't work. I'm use CS3 and all the preloaders I ever
did (using the same code) in CS2 worked fine. I'm creating the .swf
using Actionscript 2.0 (not 3.0). Is there a problem when the
document gets published with CS3 which would stop the preloader
from working on the server?

HTML Redirect is working in muse but not after publishing... HELP!

I am setting up a "Coupon code" for a website I work on. I have set up a basic HTML Redirect box. It works properly in Muse but after publish it does not work correctly anymore. I understand the "password/coupon code" is available to find in the page code, and that's OK, thats the way i designed it. Here is the link to the page Ticket Center the coupon code is GOLDEN (all caps). It should redirect to: GOLDEN PROMO CODE Please let me know what i am missing. If it is not possible to use this code with muse after its uploaded, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
Here is the promo code box code:
<div class="wrapper">
    <form class="form1" action="ticket-center.html">
        <div class="formtitle">
        </div>
        <div class="input nobottomborder">
            <div class="inputtext">
                Coupon Code:
            </div>
            <div class="inputcontent">
                <input type="password" id="password" /><br />
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="buttons">
<input class="orangebutton" type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="if (document.getElementById('password').value == 'GOLDEN') location.href = 'promo-1sae452316ad.html'; else alert('Invalid Promo Code! Please try again. CASE MATTERS');" />
        </div>
    </form>
</div>

Presuming that I have 13 folders/directories that are
created by iWeb for each of the 13 'pages' in my
site, then I assume that to turn off the nav_bar, I
should paste 'the code' into each of the
[foldername].js files.
Is this correct?
I believe so, yes.
And to maintain this, I should be prepared to use
MassReplaceIt (+/-) to refresh this info after
Publishing to Folder any cosmetic and content
changes.
Yes
Before I do the 'paste', I would like verification
that:
1) it is in fact the [filename].js file that is my
correct choice/target.
Yes
2) when viewing the contents of the ...js file, it
seems like there would need to be some curly braces (
{ whatever ) stuff as well.
Hmm, I think it's ok just the way Cyclosaurus put it
document.getElementById('nav_layer').style.opacity = 0; // 0 = nav layer off, 1 = nav layer on.
But I could be wrong about that.
3) Does 'the Code' need to be inserted in any
particular place in the file?
Don't think so, no, but don't put it in the middle of something, if you know what I mean. The beginning or end would be best.
4) Today, I will work on moving the Content to the
Body instead of the NavBar area, but mo betta I could
just shut off the NavBar function entirely.
Well if you can do it without editing the js (move the content) then you won't have to keep re-editing after each publish.
5) Do you like Medium Roast or Dark roast - whole
bean or ground?
Hee hee... ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!

Titles work in iMovie but not after I export them

Everything seems to be working normally in my iMovie project but when I export the video, some of the titles are no longer readable (they seem too transparent). When I view the project is full screen mode - it works but once I finalize it and export it, the last few titles get messed up.
I cannot change the color of the text because I am using the "pixie dust" title (which is only in one color).
I have tried clearing the cache, closing iMovie, restaring my computer, duplicating the projects and deleting the old ones...
What else can I do?
THANK YOU!

Open it in QuickTime Player. Then press Command-I to open the Inspector.
Tell us what you see next to the word FORMAT: and also tell us the dimensions.

Backlight works on startup but not after further unlocking???

As above really, turn the phone off and on again and the backlight works fine, leave it to self lock or manually lock it and the backlight will not work again.
It will flash extremely quickly when I press the home or sleep button then nothing.
Any help?

sounds like a hardware failure. You need to bring your phone into Apple for replacement.
