[SOLVED] Can't get Broadcom 4313 running

Hello,
I think my wlan driver is broken. Because I have to get very close the the router to get a working internet connection.
When I am more than 1 or 2 metres away I cant connect to it.
Also if I am connected and I download something, the connection goes from very good between seconds to timeout.
So I did lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
and saw that my Wlan Card is Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 ... [14e4:4727]
Then I did go to the Broadcom wiki and it turned out that this driver is not supported by b43.
Now I try to install broadcom-wl and theres the problem.
How to install it?
I did download it from the AUR (the tar.gz file)
I did unzip it, and when I try to makepkg it says: That I dont have the write rights. (Keine Schreibrechte)
I did unzip it in my Downloads folder. With tar xvf.
And if it works should I somehow blacklist the already working driver?
Where can I find the actually working drivers list?
Sorry for the very newb questions, arch linux is my first linux os and I try to learn linux from the ground.
Also I have to apologize for my bad english.
Thanks in advance for your hopefully helpfull answers :]

You should try not to do 20 things at the same time, while being new to Arch.
As jasonwryan said, you should first go back to the wiki and read up on how to use the AUR and its files.
When you got a grasp on that, you should find out why you don't have enough permissions? (Folder with insufficient rights as normal user? Does the file belong to root? And so on) And on a side note: It's not "unzipping", it's extracting.
As for where to find the "actually working drivers" list: Google. Well, I don't know. But I bet google will have a hint or two for you. Or the forum. Or the arch wiki.

[SOLVED] Can't get Beryl to run - Error: "No composite extension"

I'm using Arch current on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with the Intel 950 graphics chipset and the xf86-video-i810 driver, with KDE as a Desktop and with beryl-kde installed. I modified xorg.conf to enable AIXGL as prescribed in the Arch Beryl wiki but I can't get Beryl to work. I get this error: Checking for XComposite extension: failed ... No composite extension.
The last two entries in my xorg.conf are:

[SOLVED] Can't get GDM to run - what am I doing wrong?

Alright, I'm running a fresh, up to date install of Arch in a virtual machine, and I'm consistently unable to get GDM to work properly. I pretty much followed the beginners' guide, and tried reinstalling from scratch several times. I've installed gdm, gnome, gnome-extra, dbus, and anything else the wiki recommends, like virtualbox-archlinux-additions. I edited /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf accordingly.
Relevant lines in /etc/inittab:
#Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
Relevant lines in /etc/rc.conf:
MODULES=(vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network crond)
When I start the virtual machine, it displays the CLI login interface along with a bunch of warnings:
Arch Linux 3.4.4-2-ARCH (tty1)
vbox login: gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.271335 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011053 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011250 seconds

gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
After that, I can still log in just fine, though I obviously never get into any desktop environment because of it. I have no idea where to find the X server log. I skimmed through /var/log, but couldn't find any log file with remotely helpful contents besides 'gdm'. The contents of the 'gdm' file:
** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
I've been bashing my head against this problem for several days now, but been unable to actually fix it. Anyone feel like pointing out what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?

Aaaand figured it out thanks to that one. I skipped starting it manually in this VM; got it to work when started manually on a previous install, and hence assumed it'd be fine.
Turns out, I was doing the installations of the base packages - # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils - wrong somehow. I think I must've missed that step or something; installing xorg-server and xorg-server-utils through Pacman just now solved my problem.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
EDIT: Wonder, you ninja you.

Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
"The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard (via my MacBookPro), either from the HD or DVD drive. Can't get it to run Hardware Test. Disk Utility says disk OK - files are there. What can I do?

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard. I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host. But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning. I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen. If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

New-Asset Report - awesome, but can't get it to run?

Howdy - I am trying to run the awesome new-asset report that Zachary Loeber shared with the technet community.
The script is here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Excel-and-HTML-Asset-0ffbf569
However I can't get it to run against 1 server or multiple servers.
I followed this information someone else asked and I get back many errors, all related to the parameters.
Can someone help me out with this?
A. Should this be saved as a function? And then I've read conflicting or maybe different ways to run a function. Should I do import-module or just run the script as a single command line, and I've had this issue with other functions. Should they
be put in a specific location on my system? I'm newbie, so thanks for the help!
B. When I run this, I've tried using this simple command: .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers testserver1.domain.local -PromptForCredentials -Verbose
C. Then I tried this example as well from a single line or creating another ps1 script, fails either way.
D. What variables are required to be filled in, and what parameters are available such as report type, include memory, but not disk, etc?
Here's the error if I enter the command like this: .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers testserver1 -PromptForCredentials -Verbose
New-AssetReport : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'SaveDataFile'. Cannot convert value
"System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter". Boolean parameters accept only Boolean values
and numbers, such as $True, $False, 1 or 0.
Here is the error if I use the other example which is below. I get many errors, all tied to the parameters such as -verbose, etc.
$Servers = @('Server1','Server2')
.\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers $Servers -PromptForCredentials -Verbose

Can't get Videos to run on the Internet

Can't get Videos to run on the Internet. Clicked to watch a video and nothing happened. Sales person in Apple store said to get "Flip4Mac", free edition, which is what they used in store as the files on this site and in Windows Media. I downloaded it and I think I installed it. At least it said is was installed and updated. But when I went to my Son's favorite website, Nascar.com, when he clicked on a video to watch nothing happened. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.....Nancy

First off, I'll list all the items that I use to play, just about, all media on the web:
Flip4Mac
(as you might have found out, Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported)
VLC
Real Player
Perian
Adobe Flash
Streamclip
All that being said, there is still some unplayable A/V content on the web. Even though it's listed as WMV, they are really processed with a codec that is underneath that wrapper, and unsupported by any of the above listed apps and plug ins. If any content like this is found on a high profile site, and is in wmv format, then the Flip4Mac people request to be told, so they can see if compatibility can be written in on their next update.
Generally, video playback on a Mac can be somewhat complex. Would be nice if everyone used Quicktime, but I don't see that happening on the PC end of things anytime soon. So, we'll all just have to use what we can to view content.
RE: learning Leopard....there are some tutorials on the Apple support site, but I've always found the suppot discussions to be pretty helpful. I've never been one to get a lot from manuals. Mostly, I get my knowledge from working with the apps I need, and getting advise from others who have done whatever. Occasionally, there's a class at the college that you might look into. Anyway, feel free to ask any questions you want on this forum, or drop me an email. [email protected]

I still can't get it to work that way. I changed my cfexecute to:
<cfexecute name="C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" arguments="/c C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#cmd_filename#" outputFile="C:\testoutput.txt" timeout = "90"></cfexecute>
And I changed my bat file to have:
<cfsavecontent variable="cmd_content">
cd\
TSC.exe /s "#newString#" C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#FileName# Mary (for Telephone)
</cfsavecontent>
The output file is showing:
C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\bin>cd\
C:\>TSC.exe /s "3.....P.....4.....Z.....8.....U.....7.....X....." C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\3P4Z8U7X-105724.wav Mary (for Telephone)
I still can't get it to run the exe. I have watched the process list while running this and the exe doesn't show up. I tried cfexecute on the exe directly before trying the bat method, with hard coded arguments, and it still didn't work. I am so lost right now this makes no sense to me.

We are running firefox 3.0.5. When I log onto any of our machines I can't get Firefox to run. I get the Close Firefox popup and the message Firefox is already running

I can't get firefox to run on any machines. My colleagues can.
I can't find any trace of Firefox running and it still complains
that there is an existing firefox process running.

Also, and although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

[SOLVED] I can't get X to run correctly after new install

Hi all,
Over the last few days I have been trying to get Arch Linux installed on an old computer that I have. The only major hurdle that I have had so far has been getting wireless to work (no wired connection available here). I got that sorted out yesterday though with a bit of research
I haven't been so lucky getting X to run though. Following the Beginners' Guide, I have gotten up to the part where I have to configure and test X. This is what I have done so far:
Basically I have tried to use Xorg -configure to auto-create an Xorg.conf, which seemed to work (as in, the file got created and looked okay).
I then set up hotplugging with HAL, setting up everything as it says in the Beginner's guide.
When I ran the Xorg test with X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I got a black screen with no mouse or anything.
I rechecked xorg.conf to make sure the driver was correct (it's set to "radeon" which seems to be right). I also checked the horizontal and vertical refresh are set correctly - which they were (autodetected correctly by Xorg -configure).
I then had a look through the Xorg page on the wiki, but nothing much there seemed to help.
I then decided to not use hotplugging with HAL, so I removed it from starting at startup and set up my xorg.conf to have the autoadddevices as false.
After that, I am having the exact same problem when I run the Xorg test (X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf).
I really have no clues as to what to do now, does anyone have any tips for an Arch Linux n00b?
My graphics are provided onboard by an ATI RS480 (Radeon Xpress 200G Series). I am using the "radeon" driver, provided by the xf86-video-ati package. My screen is an LG FLATRON L246WH.
My relevant config files are:
xorg.conf xorg.conf
~/xinitrc doesn't exist for me.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old isn't able to be uploaded by wgetpaste for some reason... Using the verbose switch indicates that it's saving to /dev/null. I'll keep trying to work out how to get this file uploaded somewhere... it's quite long - 881 lines.
Last edited by NovaAesa (2009-08-09 04:16:51)

Did you miss the step to copy the skeleton .xinitrc to your home directory? Please do this. Then try starting X as a normal user, not root.
You can also try starting the Xserver without any xorg.conf file as jdiez has done. That works for many people.
To lessen your copy and paste problems, and to help you sort out the logfile, try the following two commands as a normal user in your home directory:
grep "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log > xorg_faults
grep "(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log >> xorg_faults
This will locate the log lines displaying errors (EE) and then warnings (WW) and write them to the file ~/xorg_faults. Errors will be listed first. This file should be much smaller than the original Xorg.0.log.
For hot-plugging and HAL, make sure you have dbus installed.
pacman -Q dbus
If it's not there, you should install it with pacman. HAL is supposed to start dbus, but I'm a belt and suspenders person, so I list dbus then hal in my /etc/rc.conf daemons.
The wiki also has an article on Xorg that may be of help to you.

I assume you're running nm-applet --sm-disable once you get a window manager session up?
Try starting networkmanager after hal. From the wiki:
You must also "disable" the default network daemon, and add the hal, dhcdbd and networkmanager daemons in this order:
DAEMONS=( ... !network hal dhcdbd networkmanager ... )
