[Solved]Dell XPS13 ultrabook Xorg and Wifi issues after Kernel upgrade

I installed Arch on a Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook today, and most everything ran fine after I ran the initial upgrade -- but I held back on the kernel update from 3.1.3 to 3.3.7.
I just now updated the kernel, and now I can't start X, nor can I access the wireless card. For X, I get a "Fatal server error: no screens found" error, and I can no longer find wlan0 with iwconfig, although I can still see it with lspci.
I even tried downgrading the kernel to 3.1.9, but I'm still having identical issues.
What can I do to fix this, short of starting again from scratch?

Edit: Solved by copying all the files in the boot folder on my root partition (sda3) to my real boot partition (sda1).

[SOLVED] Blinking screen - new Xorg and Intel issue

Screen is blinking after opening laptop lid no matter what i did (nothing, lock screen, hibernate, standby). It blinks every 10-20 seconds for about 1-2 seconds, and cpu% used by X's raises from 0.3-1.0 to even 10% and system slows down a little in that moment. My Xorg logs:

I have newest xorg and intel drivers (xorg-server 1.7.1.901-2 & xf86-video-intel 2.9.1-1). I tried also downgrade this (and related) packages to older versions (even xorg-server 1.5.* & xf86-video-intel 2.4.*) and the same happens... with only one difference. On that oldest packages I've tried screen doesn't blinks, but the wallpaper of the desktop is changing: my -> default -> my -> default... with the same frequency . I was googling a lot, believe me. I study IT on a University and I asked my friends from there, and they just run out of ideas. In addition i can write that it isn't my laptop fault because windows xp works fine and ubuntu 9.04 (i had before archlinux) also worked good. It has started on ubuntu 9.10, so I thought I move to archlinux, and its still here? I suppose its a problem with intel drivers or xorg, but somehow linked with power management of the monitor(?). But why then older packages don't work? Please, I will be grateful for any help.

WiFi issues after iOS5 Upgrade

Both my Verizon iphone and 1st gen iPad WiFi worked fine before I upgraded to 5.0. My iPad is working fine, but I cannot connect to my Airport Extreme using my iPhone after the upgrade. It appears there are all kinds of issues with WiFi after a new iOS release. Not sure if this one is Verizon specific or not. I restore my iPhone without success. My iPhone can see the network but it will not connect.

After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 I can no longer connect to my Airport Extreme. Everytime I try to authenticate on my WiFi network I'm told the password is incorrect. Just to make sure I hadn't gone crazy I tried the password on another device and connect right away.
I just updated my iPad and remembered my WiFi password and didn't ask me for it during setup like the iPhone did.

[SOLVED] broadcom-wl driver needs to be rebuilt after kernel upgrade

I have Arch installed on a netbook, and every time I update the kernel, I have to re-install the broadcom-wl package for the wifi to work. I don't have this problem in Ubuntu.
I believe this is because it is not getting rebuilt under the new kernel automatically, while in Ubuntu it is.
I have to connect to Ethernet for the package to build with the default makepkg, so I downloaded the package and ran "makepkg --nobuild" to only download the package files so that I can rebuild the package without an Internet connection. Only problem is that this has failed a couple times in the past when I ran makepkg to build it, and had to re-download the package over Ethernet.
How do I make it so Arch automatically rebuilds the broadcom-wl package for the newer kernel after it is installed? I am using pacaur as my AUR wrapper.
SOLVED:
Installed broadcom-wl-dkms package instead of broadcom-wl so that it gets recompiled on kernel upgrade automatically.

Battery and WiFi issues after upgrade to 1.1.1?

Since my upgrade to 1.1.1, my iPhone has had HORRIBLE battery life. I charged it all night last night and it is only almost noon, and I have not used it much at all, and it is already DEAD. It forced shutdown just now.
Another issue that I have been having is the phones lack of ability to find any wireless networks without first rebooting the phone.
I have done a full restore on the phone as well as a restore without restoring from backup, and the results have been the same.
Has anyone else had these issues?

REPLY TO ALL OF OF YOU AND REALLY WONDDERING WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPEN. I CAN REALLY TELL YOU WHAT HAPPEN. I MYSELF AM FROM MIAMI FLORIDA. I AM NOW IN LINCOLN NE. WELL ONE DAY WHEN I WAS AT THE HOTEL I DROPPED SERVICE. WELL AT THE TIME THAT I DROPPED SERVICE IT WAS BECAUSE OF A RAIN/THUNDERSTORM IN THE AREA. SEEING THAT I WAS IN LINCOLN NE AND THE NEARSET TOWER WAS IN OMAHA NE I STILL LOST SERVICE. WHEN AND I SAY WHEN YOUR PHONE LOOSES SERVICE IT SERCHES FOR SERVICE ALL THE TIME. EVEN THOUGH YOU LOOK AT YOUR PHONE AND IT SAYS NO SERVICE IT IS STILL LOOKING. THIS TIME IM TALKING ABOUT IT LOOKED FOR SERVICE FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS AND IT DIES NOT LONG AFTER THAT BUT IT SAID NO SERVICE THE ENTIRE TIME

Disabled ipad and password issues after ios7 upgrade

I upgraded my iPad mini and all seemed well so I upgraded my iPhone 4s and my iTouch 5.
It asked me for a Passpwrd to restore and I never used a password for my backups or on my iPhone. I tried 0000 and 1234 as well as every PW combo I ever used--nada. I finally had to set the phone up as a new device.
Later I tried to access my iPad Mini and when I put in the PW I just set, it refused it and finally disabled the iPad. I had to go into restore and when I did the backup file would not accept my PW.
This is a nightmare. I lost valuable info not to mention the amount of time to rearrange my iPhone and iPad. I habe my backup but cannot access it because it will not accpet the PW
The really stupid thing is that trying too many PWs disabled the iPad and I suppose that is to make it a brick if you steal it but I was able to force a restore by shutting down and holding down the home button when I plugged it in so if I had stolen it it would not make any sense at all

I was experiencing the same thing. This article worked for me, hopefully it will help you.
http://ipad.about.com/od/iPad_Troubleshooting/ss/What-To-Do-When-Your-Ipad-Wo-No t-Turn-On.htm
Hold both the home button and the wake/suspend button down at the same time. You should see the Apple logo appear on your screen after holding these buttons down a couple of seconds, which means your iPad is booting up and should be good to go in a few more seconds.

I/O issue after kernel upgrade

Hi,
I have a weird behaviour after system update since kernels >3.10.10: After booting the Display Manager (KDM) is not in native monitor resolution (1680x1050) but seems to use a default standard resolution (like 1024x768...), a mouse cursor appears, but either mouse input nor keyboard inputs work. Keyboard input works in GRUB, though.
The only solution I found so far was downgrading the kernel again to 3.10.10. Unfortunately, I did not find a suitable thread or bug report. Any suggestions?

Open a bug report yourself. Someone has to take initiative

[Solved by itself] Loading module aha152x failed after kernel upgrade

Hi all,
I have a ten-year old Epson GT5500 scanner plugged onto an ISA card.
This was quite hard to get it working under linux but it worked well untill yesterday last update.
I have the following error output when trying to load aha152x module:
# modprobe aha152x
FATAL: Error inserting aha152x (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152x.ko): No such device
I have the following line in /etc/modules.conf:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9
How can I get the scanner back to work?
Thanks.

No. The configuration to get the scanner working under linux comes from a how-to and remains valid after kernel upgrades -- until yesterday. It does not need any module building, only loading.

10.10.2 and wifi issues

I have held off updating one of my Macs to Yosemite because of the wifi issues. Anyone upgrade to 10.10.2 who had issues and found update resolved them. Apple said 10.10.1 would but we know it did not. So want to know real world results for this one before I update.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Iphone 6 LTE AND WIFI ISSUE

me and my friend both using iphone 6 but his LTE AND WIFI works smoothly But mine doesn work that well! watching the same video using LTE he can watch but i cant even load the video! WHY? any help?
AT first i was on iso 8 LTE AND WIFI really *** , so i upgraded it to ios 8.0.2 but still the same, and my friend's iphone6 stays in 8 but works fine !
i have reset the network it doesn fix the problem either.

I have this exact same issue with the iPhone 6 Plus. After numerous calls to AppleCare several resets and restore restores from backup, restore as new, and visits to the Genius Bar at the Apple store, Apple dose not appear to have an answer yet. This is happening on all Wi-Fi networks home, Xfinity, Apple Store, and Starbucks. It does not appear to be related to the Wi-Fi network in use. I have been asked to give it a week and see if it gets better but somehow I do not think this is going to work. The Apple Store has even replace my phone and I still experience the same issues.
What am I missing?

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!

Blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds

hi, we have an ipad running IOS 5 that keeps having a blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds.
I am yet to find out why this is, any clues? (note that both apple.com and facebook are blocked at the router, but nothing else)...

actually we cannot due to policy reasons... it appears through testing that the iPad is phoning home and sending private data to Apple regardless, it is also odd they placed these PRIVACY settings in About hidden away so that no-one knows they are there.
From the iPad homescreen, tap on Settings > General > About
Tap on "Diagnostics & Usage" > select "Don't Send"
So... anyone else know why if we block Apple, the iPad disconnects from the internet via Wifi?

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

Performance Issues after an Upgrade

Hello!
We are experiencing performance issues after we upgraded to a new version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1). At this point, I am not too sure about the actual causes for this degrade in performance but I am trying to narrow down the causes and need your inputs. Please help me with your ideas.
1) What could be the causes/factors for the performance to degrade after an upgrade?
2) Does the performance of a script depend on the user credentials i.e. who is launching the script? Whether it’s the super admin of the application/application owner or an application specific admin?
3) Does the performance of the scripts depend on the place you are launching it from? For example - will the performance differ if it’s launched from MaxL Vs EAS?
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
- Krrish

There are a number of bugs 12600557, 12675485, 12669814, 12698488 logged in for 11.1.2.1 - If you use Internet Explorer 8 and have data forms designed to use a large number of sparse dimension members in rows or columns, you may experience performance degradation when opening the data forms.
This has been fixed in Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.1 Patch Set Update (PSU): 11.1.2.1.101 which is available on My Oracle Support as Patch 12666861.
HTH-
