[SOLVED] Console Font Not Retained After Reboot

Hi, again. Happy to report that I successfully installed Arch Linux last night, with no problems whatsoever. Thanks to those who addressed my concerns. Still reading up on the package manager, user and group management, etc.
Anyway, one of the first things I noticed is that the console font gets reset after every reboot. I need to manually type "setfont Lat2-Terminus16" - which works just fine, except for the annoyance in having to do that each time I boot up. My /etc/vconsole.conf has the following:
KEYMAP=us
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
Following the solution described here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155876
I added 'consolefont' (without quotes) to the beginning (first item) of the HOOKS line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Then I rebuilt the initramfs by typing "mkinitcpio -p linux". Again, no errors during the rebuild.
I've rebooted several times, but there's no change... my selected console font is not retained.
Can anyone point what I'm doing wrong, or offer ideas? Thanks.

Have you tried
If the fonts seems to not change on boot, or change only temporarily, it is most likely that they got reset when graphics driver was initialized and console was switched to framebuffer. To avoid this, load your graphics driver earlier. See for example KMS#Early_KMS_start or other ways to setup your framebuffer before /etc/vconsole.conf gets applied.

How to fix "OS X Lion user's custom preferences are not retained after reboots"?

How to quickly fix "many of user's custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or MtLion 10.8.x are not retained after Mac reboots and/or log-offs"?

If many of the user’s custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or Mountain Lion 10.8.x are not retained on Mac after reboots and/or log-offs, then implement this following QUICK FIX procedure:
Login to user’s OS X login profile… access & select the Finder pull-down menu Go… next select Library (just user’s Library only available when holding-down the Option key here within OS X Lion + MtLion)… find-select-and move the Preferences folder out from the overall user’s Library to the user’s Desktop area for temporary safe keeping. Then log-off user and/or reboot Mac… log-in as user, and reset all user’s custom preferences (System Preferences, Dock icons, etc. [OS X system now recreating all user’s login profile preferences]) according to their previous Desktop setup. Finally reboot after making all new user preferences setting changes… log-in again as user, and check to ensure that all user custom preferences now stays retained. If all OK, then you may move the corrupted Preferences folder from the user’s Desktop area to the Trash for final deletion.
*NOTE: Is this above-written QUICK FIX completely acceptable to Apple's OS X Lion + MtLion troubleshooting standards? So far this solution appears to have fixed a recent iMac user's issues with custom preferences.

Pavilion G4 - Diabling Touch Pad is not retained after reboot or Sleep

On a Pavilion G4 running Windows 8, when I double touch the upper left of the touch pad to disable it, it does so and acts accordingly. However, after I close the lid to put it to sleep or re-boot, the system comes back up with the touch pad enabled. What can I do to have this work correctly (and have it be disabled after sleep or reboot)? Thanks.

Try this: Control Panel-->Mouse-->Device setting, choose [Disable] , then [ok] should permanentely disable touchpad function. Thanks!

Desktop wallpaper on external drive not retained after reboot

Hi all,
On rebooting my Late '12 iMac, the desktop wallpaper always reverts back to the default Yosemite one. The wallpaper is stored in a folder on my USB 3.0 ext drive, and when the desktop appears the icon is there for the external drive and ai can browse and re-set the wallpaper.
Also, possibly related, I have an icon for Steam on my Dock, which becomes a question mark upon reboot as if Yosemite can no longer find the app. Steam is also stored externally. However like above, I can click the icon and the Mac is able to see and launch steam no problems, and the question mark then reverts back to the steam icon.
The iMac has been upgraded by myself so that internal drive is a Samsung Evo 840 SSD. As crazy as it sounds I almost think that the Mac is booting (which takes around 6 seconds from grey Apple to logon screen) faster than it is reading the external drive. But what is weirder is that the logon screen has a blurred version of the correct wallpaper behind it, which flicks the default Yosemite one when I login.
Any ideas?

It doesn't actually sound crazy, except for the thing with the blurred wallpaper which does sound odd. The easy way to test it would be to move your preferred wallpaper to your boot drive to see if it loads at boot. I'm assuming it will. In my limited testing of Yosemite, the wallpaper choice sticks, as it should, but it's on my boot drive.
Have you noticed if the problem of drives being improperly ejected when system wakes from sleep has been corrected in Yosemite?

[solved] Console font not displaying characters properly

I have set up /etc/vconsole.conf to read as follows, as laid down in the unofficial beginners guide (or somewhere linked to from there)
KEYMAP=us
FONT=ter-114n
When I boot, I get the proper font (that's one of the terminus-font s). But if i do something like
% mv "hi" "hi"
the characters that SHOULD be apostrophes are in fact... The greek letter rho or something. I don't know. However, if I run "setterm ter-114n" it loads both the font correctly, as well as the mapping. I cannot for the life of me figure out where it's getting that correct mapping, or how I can just load it automatically.
Anybody know what else I need to do to have it set itself up?
Thanks

Could Calendar services not available after reboot be LDAP problem?

I followed this installation guide:
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite7U2/Communications+Suite+on+a+Single+Host+%28Linux%29#CommunicationsSuiteonaSingleHost%28Linux%29-InstallingCommunicationsSuite7Update2Software
I have successfully installed and set up the Oracle UCS Sun7 update 2 server. Calendar works ( if I don't reboot the server ).
However, when I reboot the server, Calendar service is unavailable.
Important information for when I installed Oracle UCS sun 7 update 2 by following the installation guide:
I have noticed when browsing through the folders, that there was already a 'dsee6' folder for the Oracle Linux I started from. Following the example installation for the Oracle Linux 5 with GlassFish install, I was instructed to download a new Directory Server. Following the instructions on page 7 of the install guide listed above, I made another folder 'dsee7'. I am wondering if I should never have downloaded this new Directory Server as instructed on page 6 "Get the Software". The install guide actually does not mention where to get the Directory Server from, so I just went to the edelivery site and figured it out myself. Anyways, under the "Installing and Configuring Directory Server" section, #3, I was instructed to "mv dsee7 /opt/sun/directory". In this folder, /opt/sun/directory/bin, there will be "./dsadmin" utility that can be ran. This is used to do many things with the Directory Server including starting it. Here is how I started it:
cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
./dsadm create /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
./dsconf create-suffix "0=isp"
Also, I downloaded the Directory Server from edelivery - Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11gR1 Patch Set 1 for Linux x86-64
Then, I ended up running to get it set up:
./dsccsetup ads-create
./dsccsetup war-file-create
$ ./dsccsetup cacao-reg
./dsccsetup status
Then, it looked like the dcss agent is registered in cacao.
So, if we forward ahead to page 9 of the install guide, "Preparing the Directory", I ran this and prepared the directory. After I finished installation, I could restart the Directory Server with no problems, as long as I did not reboot the machine. I would restart the Directory Server like so:
cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
./dsadmin stop-domain domain1
./dsadmin start-domain domain1
However, if I rebooted the machine, I could still start and stop the Directory Server as noted. But, the Calendar Services were not available.
The only reason I wonder about this LDAP Server possibly being the cause of this is because I had at one point configured the services to start on boot. I followed these instructions:
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite7U2/Start+and+Stop+Scripts+for+Communications+Suite+%28Linux%29
I am using a VMSphere client to host this set up. So, since that point of configuring the services to start up, I have rolled the snap shot back so that the services are no longer set up to start on boot. But, when they were, and I rebooted the machine, I could see ldap 389 errors all over the place. So, that lead me to roll my snap shot back in effort to try and fix the ldap errors. I no longer get LDAP errors since I rolled my snap shot back. But, like I said, I no longer have any of the services, including the LDAP, to start on boot as noted in the above link that instructs us how to do this.
After reboot, I run these commands to get the server up and running:
Start GlassFish server:
cd /opt/sun/SUNWappserver/bin
./startserv
Start web ( Messaging Server I think ):
cd /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/bin
./start-msg
Start LDAP ( Directory Server )
cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
./dsadm start /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
Start Mysql
cd/etc/init.d
./mysqld start
All of those commands complete without problem. I can log into the convergence web, I can hit the delegated administrator, I can log into the GlassFish admin console, and I can see my calendar folder when I hit it in the web ( http://myServer.com/davserver/dav/home/userName/calendar/ ).
So, in summary, I am wondering if anyone knows if this supposed second Directory Server is causing my problems since I started with Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Linux 5 appeared to have the folder dsee6 already installed with it. Could this be why my calendar services are not starting after reboot but are working before reboot?
( Also, all of my posts keep getting deleted. Can someone please email me if someone from Oracle is deleting my posts and tell me why they are getting deleted? )

AM is not retained after deployed the custom pages

Hi,
I have two custom pages, Create(page1) and Select Jobs(page2) pages.
In Create page I've a button called Populate Jobs, Once I click the populate jobs button it will navigate to another page. In page2 I'll select list of jobs using multiple selection.
Once multiple jobs selected I'm validating those jobs(lines) already added to the page1 when click submit button (available in page2).
Both pages have same AM and I'm retaining AM when I move from page1 to page2. In page 2 if click submit button I try to get all the existing lines which is arendered in page 1.
But i'm getting zero count but records are there. It is working very fine in my machine before deployment. But the AM is not retained after deployed to apps.

Hi.
Try adding some debugging statements using write diagnostics .
Check to see if VO is getting cleared on loading 2nd page.
Alternate solution would be to add these line id's of the selected lines before forwading.
On 2nd page, get these Id's and do whatever necessary.

[SOLVED] Cpufreq not loading after reboot

I followed wiki on this ,but after reboot cpufreq is not loading from /etc/rc.conf as module
This is message on boot
:: Setting cpufreq governing rules , cpu 0 1wrong, unknown or unhandled CPU?
Error setting new values. Common errors:eq/scaling_available_governors: No such - Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?
But if I do a modprobe acpi-cpufreq got this
[root@laptop ~]# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
[root@laptop ~]# /etc/rc.d/cpufreq start

This is a /etc/rc.conf/cpufreq

# ondemand, performance, powersave,
# conservative, userspace
governor="ondemand"
# limit frequency range (optional)
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz
min_freq="800MHz"
max_freq="2.01GHz"
# use freq to set up the exact cpu frequency using it with userspace governor

Similar happens when I want to load governors as modules.
Laptop is acer with C2D T5800 and min and max values are from cpufreq-info.
Can this be solved?

[SOLVED] Printer not working after reboots

I recently built my won desktop running Arch. Every thing works fine except for printer. Printer is Brother MFC-290c. It is a Multinational printer (i.e Scanner and printer together).
Once I configure the printer it works fine until the next reboot. After reboot printer user/group changes to root:scanner.
# ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005/002
crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 513 Jun 9 07:17 /dev/bus/usb/005/002
So after every reboot I need to do "lsusb" to look for Bus and Device ID for the printer and change its owner/group to root:lp. After this step is performed Printer works fine until next reboot.

SOLVED :D:D:D
Thanks Strike0. That was a push in right direction. After reading your reply, I decided to take a look at my udev rules. There was not one for my printer but there was one for the Scanner. I do not yet know how to read udev file, but sure enough it looked as if it was causing all problems . Renamed the rules file for the scanner to see if everything works fine in its absence. Rebooted, Printer and scanner are both working fine now.

[Solved] console font issue

Hi there!
Can't get terminus-font in console
I installed terminus-font, and renamed it as it described at wiki:
cp /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v14n.psf.gz /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v14n.psfu.gz
FONT="ter-v14n" string added to /etc/vconsole.conf
"consolefont" hook added to mkinitcpio hooks list, mkinitcpio rebuilt.
But after reboot I still have a default font.
During boot I can see that font switches to terminus but at login prompt it switches back to default font.
I think font itself is ok: I can switch to terminus manually by running 'setfont ter-v14n' and it works fine. But it so boring to do it on every boot...
Where am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.

That's Russian and I'd rather not touch non-English pages. I barely have to time to fix the English ones, so spreading myself thinner isn't going to help.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script
Google translated the part about the cp command as
In this case, after the installation of many of the fonts, for example, terminus, font files, and even get there automatically, but are unsupported extension psf.gz. To a certain variable CONSOLEFONT font was found, rename the font file to its expansion was psfu.gz.
That's not true - at least not anymore. Maybe it once was <shrugs>
$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
FONT=ter-v16n
FONT_MAP=8859-2
KEYMAP=pl2
$ ls -l /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-*.psfu.gz
$ ls -l /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v16n.psf.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 3.7K May 8 16:33 /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v16n.psf.gz

PC Suite 6.86.9.3 does not start after reboot

Hi!
I have some strange problems with the PC Suite. After the first install everything is working well but after a reboot the PC suite is not starting after double click on the desktop icon.
But i can install tools on the phone or start some of the suite tools. Only the PC Suit does not run.
The repair function of the installer does not bring any results. The only way ist to deinstall the suit and all drivers and to clear all remainig nokia registry entries. After that I can install the suite again and it will run again... until I reboot the system. And so on, and so on...
Does any one have an idea how to solve my problem?
Thanks
Michael

Actually it does not work on one Windows XP SP3 computer, but it does work on another Windows XP SP3 computer.
Probably this is a .NET application, as I have encountered several .NET applications that do NOT work on some specific computers.

ACR122U smart card reader not recognized after reboot...

I am new to POS Windows and have been working with wondows for ever. I was using ACR 122u contactless usb smart card reader with windows XP and communicating with it using java with no problems. Then our I changed the OS to windows Pos ready 2009 and we found out that USB card reader has to be unplugged and plugged back in after rebooting the computer. other than the OS everything else is identicle (driver, reader, java program, ect..). Can any one tell me what could cause this problem and what I can do to solve this.
I have cheked the device manager and under USB controllers it says that it is unrecognized deivice..I tried changing the reader, changing the port and(actually the reader is pluged in to a linksys external usb hub, but changing this to a internal port did not make any difference) tried chagning some settings in control panel.
1. I checked the power option of the root usb hub.
2. Changed the driver.cab to a normal driver.cab obtained from the normal xp version. Uninstall the driver and reinstall it.
So far this hasnt been working.
I hope someone could help me with this.

After extensive tests with Win 7 Embedded and ACR122U, I can confirm the same problem. It seems that reader firmware hangs and the only way to recover is to unplug and plug again the reader. We shall repeat the tests with readers from other manufacturers.
For the tests, we use a Win7 Embedded Standard PC with an ACR122U connected. We installed and configured the ACS Monitor program to start automatically with windows. We made a small utility to restart the PC every minute and we placed it on the Startup directory.
Within the first 5-10 reboots, the reader fails and the ACS monitor program shows " No reader connected" and no reaction from the reader. If we shall unplug and plug the reader again to the USB port everything works fine again.

After changing drivers, Windows would no longer remember my audio settings, such as volume level and all the changes I made in the Creative Console Launcher (EQ, disable CMSS-3D, THX settings). After rebooting, the settings would revert to the default setting.
Solution:
I went into the Creative Audio Control Panel, to the "Restore Defaults" tab and, with all boxes checked, hit the "Restore Defaults" button. Whatever was causing it to not remember settings was cleared out and it now remembers all of my audio settings after restarting Windows.

Hy,
have you already tried to start the soundcard ?at other PCs?
Do you have this problem with other usb-devices at your PC, too?
What happens after standby or hibernate?
Does for example a li've linux or windows in secure mode detect the x-fi after startup?
Maybe this details can be helpful to find the reason. I could imagine, the died internal sound card is inhibiting windows in detecting any other audio device...
I've had a died touch pad (the left mouse button didn't work after ~5 minutes) and until disable it, the same problem happened with the other trackpoint mouse, too.
