[SOLVED] Console gets message about mei_me timeout every 5 seconds

I was just trying to install Arch to an HP Compaq DC 7800 machine, so I downloaded the ISO image (2013.08.01) and booted the system with the cd. However, my console gets spammed every 5 seconds or so with messages like:
[65.456035] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout.
I tried to boot with kernel option 'quiet', but that only suppressed normal messages, not the error. The only thing I could find what comes close to my problem, was this Ubuntu bug, but it turned out that it was something built in the kernel. However, I don't have access to the kernel on the installation cd. (Also, it looks like 'mei' has something to do with wifi, which isn't present in the machine.)
Do you know a kernel command line option or some other solution to get rid of the message? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the hint and this thread. That messages annoyed me some weeks, but I haven't found a solution until now :-)

Instead of pressing F10 for entering the BIOS setup, you can press Ctrl+P for entering the Management Extension BIOS.
This also works even if Ctrl+P is not shown on the screen. It worked for my DC8700. Besides that, I think you can activate the Ctrl+P hint in the BIOS (Advanced->Power-On Options->MEBx Setup Prompt).
By the way, the default password for the Management Extension BIOS is "admin".
I didn't have a deeper look into the Management Extension BIOS, I'm just fine with the removal of the kernel module :-)

I think I have the latest Firefox version, but keep getting messages about updating it. 1 says something is preventing Firefox from updating securely; another says something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an unsecure update. What's going on?

The 1st message goes on to say, "Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox from http://www.firefox.com." Assuming 4.0.1 is the latest version, it seems this is a bogus message and I haven't clicked on the link.
The 2nd message goes on to say something like, "if this continues [the attempt to trick Firefox into accepting an unsecure update], contact your network administrator."
I started getting the messages on all 4 of our PC's (2 desktops running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 1 running XP 32-bit, & a laptop running Vista Home Basic 64-bit) after updating to Firefox 4.0 on them. I manually updated to 4.0.1 on all thinking that would stop the messages, but it hasn't.
I loaded & ran free versions of McAfee Stinger, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and Super Anti-Spyware programs on all our PCs; each program found & repaired some infected files on each computer, but the messages continue on all.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Apparently this occurs when Firefox has problems with security certificates. There have been a few questions about this. I will try to get advice about this.
Apparently you are using Internet Explorer 9 (From your system details). Do you have Google Updater plugin installed on Firefox ?
(That been implicated in this sort of problem by one poster, and some users with the problem do have Google Updater, but some do not)

I am getting messages about unauthorized vendor trying to update my firefox

I keep getting a message about an unauthorized vendor trying to update my firefox. I have recently updated to the latest version. My firefox seems to be working fine otherwise. After I deny the update, I have to reload the firefox page because it says something about bing. I do not like bing. What am I doing wrong?

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Are you getting messages about authorizing other computers for your ITunes

Are you getting messages that you have authorized other computers for your iTunes when you haven't? I only use iTunes on one computer and I just got a message confirming that I have authorized another computer when I haven't. I cannot find a way to turn the other authorization off as I did not do it in the first place.
Has this happened to anyone else?'
Thanks

Same thing is happening to me. I only have one computer (a MacBook) authorized with iTunes. Today, the drive crashed and I had to repair it and now iTunes indicates I have 2 computers authorized on my account. I followed the Knowledge Base article to deauthorize and reauthorize, it still shows 2 computers. This is really frustrating me!

Get message about SD Card Removed

I continually receive a message about my SD card being removed. When looking in phone storage the SD card info shows as unavailable. The card is good and can be read in windows without any trouble, but the phone keeps throwing that message alert at times. To stop it i remove the SD card and battery then it goes away for a day or two. Running version 2.3.4 of Android. Any ideas on what can be done to resolve this?

brett22 - SD cards can be tricky, but they should never do a disappearing act from your phone, where it says it is unavailable. The direct cause could honestly be anything. My recommendation would be since your pc/laptop can read your card properly, I would first backup your SD card's content in your pc's hard drive. Next, I would place the card back in your phone in order to erase the card. This can be performed by going to Settings>SD & Phone Storage>Erase SD Card (You may need to unmount the card if the SD card was instantly mounted, in order to erase its contents.)
From there, I would connect it back to your computer in order to copy your content back to your SD card. Once you complete the transfer, place it back in your phone, and see how it performs now.
You shouldn't have to, but if it does not mount automatically, simply go back to SD & Phone Storage to mount the card.
Please keep us posted with regards to this issue, and if this successfully resolved your issue. Thank you brett22, we look forward to working with you.

Getting message about having LR5 already open SO I need to know how to get my pictures back-after export.

Hi,
I have been working on photo's and doing the export the laptop freezes up on me, so I have to shut down everything and re-open. When I go to open LR5 back up I get an error message saying that there is LR already open and that I have to open a new folder - Since I have editing all (about 900 pictures) - is there a way of getting those back Instead of having to RE-DO all of them. Which is what I am **** right now and it is VERY hard for me.
I would Love to get a answer on how I can get the photo's back instead of having to re-do all of them again. THIS has happening a few times to me now and I don't like it.
I hope that this makes sense - I would just love an answer..

okay Error message is as follows - pop up window has confirm on the top of
it. The lightroom catalog named "Lightroom 6 Catalog" cannot be opened
because another applications already has it opened. Button Choose a
different catalog, Continue or exit. I have hit all the buttons before and
the ONLY thing that works is to Choose a different catalog and open a new
one?
Might I be able to get my originals photo's back?? the ones that I have
edited already???

Getting message about not enough storage on my iphone 5s. The "Attachment file is very large and I have erased all documents in it, yet it still shows a large volume of storage being used.

I am getting a message that I am running out of storage on my Iphone 5s. The problem may be in my mailboxes. I have eliminated many emails and all documents in the "Attachments file. However, the attachment file still shows an number that is over 4 billion (not sure is this is the number of documents or what it represents) Is this is the source of my storage problem, I'm not sure how to solve it.

Couple of things to try:
If you can access the account on a computer - make sure that the offending email is no longer there
Then delete the email account on the phone - no email loss is incurred
Then reset the phone - hold down home and sleep buttons together until you see Apple logo and then release and allow normal boot up - no data loss
Then reinstall the email account

Thank you for the sympathy and the information about the Adobe.com forum Michael.
I posted here because, to be honest, for a company that's acknowledged their installers and updaters and support needs some work, they seem very determined to obfuscate the means by which users can provide direct feedback to the company. Much like you, I've also noticed a trend in CS5 installations that mirrors the issues that were present in CS4. it's a sad state of affairs.
As for my installation, you are also quite right to say that a clean install would have been a lot faster than what I went through with TS and it was actually my first idea. Before calling TS I'd actually read through the forums and noticed that a large number of users who were faced with my situation had no other choice but to reformat. I was just giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt and wasted 2 and a half weeks through that course of action...
What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the installer failed on a fresh system. It was a custom-built design machine, assembled and configured by myself. The only software that had been installed on it prior to Design Premium was Firefox, an FTP client and the start of my problems, trial versions of various CS4 programs. I used trials just long enough to retire the previous design computer so that I wouldn't contravene the EULA's stipulation of not running more than one instance of software at the same time on different machines. Turns out being honest once again penalised a legal customer.
If there is just thing users should learn from my far from unique tale of failed tech support it's that if you ever run into a problem with the installation, don't bother calling TS, just reformat and start from scratch. It might seem like it'll take longer to get going again, but in actuality, it's the opposite. Reformatting means you'll be up and running in about 1 or 2 days rather than 2 weeks.

Running LabVIEW 2012 Application builder get message about missing LabVIEW 2013 media

I am trying to make an installer using LV 2012 (Latest version for which I have a license-- Installed from Developer Suite 2013, latest disks I have.)\
I am asking the installer to include Run Time Engine 2012 SP1 f5-- Only choice presented to me for a 2012 RTE
When I Try to build an installer, I get a message asking for a LV 2013 media path, which I don't have...
Any ideas on why this is happening or how to get around it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Peter:
Sorry for the long delay getting back to you, I've been off on other projects for the past few.
I have NImax 5.4.0f0 on my computer. Other than that, I don't see any stand-alone DAQmx-- mostly I configure the DAS equipment programatically from within LabVIEW.
Attached is a screen shot of the NILM display. You'll note that there's a LV2013 in addition to the LV2012 SP1. Not sure why the 2013 shows up in the LM-- don't recall ever loading it, not even a demo version, and what I'm using is the 2012 SP1.
Since my last post, a few other peculiarities with the app builder-- last week I had a period where it would only run the application builder once to make an installer. After that I'd get an error message of some sort (I neglected to make a note of the exact message-- If I see it again I'll make a note of it.) In order to run the app builder a second time, I had to shut down the computer & reboot.-- it then let me run the app builder one more time, then reboot needed to run it a third time.
I also had a peculiarity where when I ran the installer on the target machine, it would give a "no software will be installed" message. I am pretty sure that this was unrelated to the other problems-- A simple user error, that I wasn't updating the revision number of the exe application, so when the installer went to install on the target it thought the version on the target was the same as the version that I wanted to install? But I mention it in case it has some bearing on the problem.
Client testing the application reports that it is ready to go, so I'll be attempting to build on final (for this release) clean installer version later today-- I'll let you know how that goes.
Thanks for your attention, and again, appologies for the delay in responding to your questions.
Best regards, Louis

Ipod nano not showing up in itunes and getting message about problem with this drive, ipod nano not showing up in itunes and getting message about problem with this drive

My ipod nano has been working fine for at least three years. All of a sudden I get two messages. First, "there is a problem with this drive, scan and fix it".
And, an Ipod has been detected but can't be identified properly. It's a 6th generation nano and I have Windows 8. Any thoughts?

I paid for this service - why do I get messages about this being a trial period?

I have paid $20 for the online PDF conversion service and can't get in, get error message that my trial period is over. Please explain this to me. Thank you. Jeannette

Hi.
I see that you have a paid subscription to ExportPDF assigned to the same Adobe ID you used to post to this forum <<[email protected]>>.
If you log into ExportPDF with this same Adobe ID, you should see that your service has unlimited conversions.
(The error you describe usually occurs when you log into the service with an Adobe ID which is different than the Adobe ID you used to purchase the subscription.)
Let us know if you continue to have issues.
