[Solved] Kernel Update - Do I need to re-install Catalyst?

Hi....
Yesterday everything was going fine on my new AMD Fusion machine. Last night I did
pacman -Syu
and a new kernel was installed.
Now, I rebooted this morning, and I don't seem to have any graphics acceleration in kwin. My wobbly windows are gone, moving windows is incredibly slow and blocky, and (since I am using the netbook interface) when I click on the "running Applications" button, I only get a list instead of an image of all applications/work spaces.
So do I need to re-install or re-build the catalyst packages with the kernel update?

Ok Thanks...
I followed the catalyst wiki to install it, do I just need to do the following steps again?
cd catalyst-utils
makepkg -cs
sudo pacman -U catalyst-utils-*.tar.xz
(or if you are updating: sudo pacman -Ud catalyst-utils-*.tar.xz)
cp ati-driver-* ../catalyst
cd ../catalyst
makepkg -cis
then
# aticonfig --initial
(or for Dual Head: # aticonfig --initial=dual-head)
# aticonfig -v

  • [SOLVED]kernel update to kernel26-2.6.38.2-1, boot fail

    First of all my archlinux know-how only dated from April 2011. And I began my linux explore just at March 2011 after whole disk format of old XP.
    Apology that English is not my native language.
    My problem:
    Intel P M dothan 725 1.6GHz laptop.
    1. I had ubuntu10.10 installed on sda1 and grub2 installed to the MBR. sda2 as swap.
    2. I installed archlinux onto sda3 inside ubuntu according to this WIKI:(Install from Existing Linux) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
    3. os_probe detected the new os and updated the boot menu. I was able to login to archlinux. I was able to use the wireless network and installed gnome.
    Then one day "pacman -Syu" prompted me to update to kernel26-2.6.38.2-1. I did the upgrading but got a boot failure.
    After the grub2 screen the system began to initialize, I could see lines of messages scrolling down the screen.
    But it seems the scroll down will never stop. The scroll down speed is too fast I am not able to recognize the messages.
    Anyhow I perceived that the scrolling messages were repeating the same content. I guess it got into an "infinite loop".
    This happened as soon as I selected archlinux in grub2(less than 0.5s after I hit ENTER), and before udev b/c the screen resolution was not reset to its optimal.
    I don't think there's any dmsg log.(Well, I admitted I did not checked.)
    All I can do is to login to ubuntu and chroot to archlinux and retreat to the previous kernel. And fortunately it worked.
    I tried to update the kernel several times both in ubuntu chroot and in archlinux. All failed. All the same symptom.
    I am not sure if it was a bug in kernel26-2.6.38.2-1.
    Can I fix the problem, or should I file a bug report?
    Another problem, I do not know how to file a bug report.
    edit:
    kernel26-2.6.37.5-1
    kernel26-2.6.37.6-1 all confirmed no problem.
    I have retreated to kernel26-2.6.37.6-1

    I would prefer to paste the lspci -vnn info here if you don't mind.
    There were kinds of log files under /var/log but I almose know nothing about them.
    I didn't try 2.6.38 on Ubuntu because I'd prefer the stable version. It had not been released. Anyhow your questions make me curious to see the result. Maybe I will give it a try.
    You can see it's fairly old hardware ;-)

  • [SOLVED] Kernel Update & nVIDIA latency

    Hi friends. I've got this problem when i upgraded the kernel and the nVIDIA drivers.

    When i start Blender, it has a latency that doesn't have before.

    Hi,
    I would be possible that this has to do with http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3109. They have fixed it and the result is a performance regression.
    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … px=MTA4ODQ

  • No sound card detected after update [solved] kernel update fixed it

    lsmod |grep snd

  • HT4479 Mac app Store Issue: Trying to download the app store application so we can install recently purchased software update of 10.7 but unable to do so because we don't have updated software. Need assistance in installing update that's already been purc

    Trying to downloads App store application for the sole pupose of downloading a purchased OS update 10.7. We cannot download the app store until we have a software update but need the software update to download the app store.

    There is no Mac App Store app that you can download. The Mac App Store is installed with the update of previous installations of Snow Leopard to version 10.6.8. v1.1.
    Does your Mac have OS X Snow Leopard installed? If not, you have to install it before you may go further.

  • After kernel update, anything i should do for my arch system in vbox

    Hi all:
    I've installed arch as a vbox guest system. The host system is windows 7.
    After Archlinux kernel updates, do i need to re-install the guest add-on modules ?
    or is there anything necessary after each kernel update ?
    Best Regards,

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've already installed the virtualbox-archlinux-additions.
    So after the kernel update there's nothing i need to do ?

  • Module 'asus-nb-wmi' stopped being auto-loaded after kernel update

    Well, the module 'asus-nb-wmi' which takes care of some FN keys and keyboard backlight stopped being auto-loaded after the latest kernel udpate (3.9.3), so I had to add it to /etc/modules-load.d/ to get it working. This has happened before, between kernel updates and I had to re-install arch to fix it, but now I found that manually adding the module is a nice solution, but I want it to be loaded automatically or at least know why does this happen. Kernel modules, such as this one, should be loaded automatically right?
    Best regards.

    I think there is a valid question here;  Same thing happened to me.
    Upon a default install of arch, the module was auto-loaded without the user touching any configuration files
    at some point during kernel updates, the module is no longer auto-loaded
    the user then has to find out what is happening and go add the module to the appropriate config file to force load on boot.
    So the larger question is; without config files being taken into consideration, how does the kernel decide what modules to load?  f
    I know it has something to do with the hardware that it detects, but am unaware if this is something within the RC or systemctl booting system, or if this is part of the kernel.
    I'm going to dig around some more on the internet, as i'm sure the answer is out there somewhere.. but if someone that is on this forum happens to read and know the answer, it would be nice to know
    thanks

  • [Solved] Nvidia after kernel update

    The nvidia wiki clearly states that: "Every time the kernel26 package is updated, it is a requirement to reinstall the nvidia package and rebooting afterwards. "
    But my question is, why? I mean, if the module was to be recompiled, that would make sense. But what does just reinstalling the driver accomplish? In my system, pacman -Ql nvidia shows:
    $ pacman -Ql nvidia
    nvidia /etc/
    nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/
    nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
    nvidia /lib/
    nvidia /lib/modules/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
    From what I've read, I think the kernel update process copies the compiled modules into the proper folder (inside /lib) named by the kernel version. Should this not be the case with nvidia? If it is not, then is this why the reinstall is needed?
    Thanks in advance (and my apologies if I've glossed over something that's patently obvious --- while I've searched for the answer before posting, I am still quite the novice at tinkering with the kernel)
    EDIT: just after posting I've realized that maybe this post belongs in "Kernel and Hardware Issues" subforum. But the truth is this isn't really an "issue"... it's more a question from, well, a newbie :-)

    Running the risk of asking what might be obvious to some, why?
    The driver speaks to the kernel. When the kernel updates, the language used might have changed in various ways. Since nvidia is closed-source, its not always obvious whether what has changed affects it. The same applies to xorg-server, when it updates you should recompile your nvidia driver. Its SOMETIMES not needed, but when it is, would you rather be solving it from the tty?

    ngoonee wrote:That's what the wiki is referring to. Even if the kernel major version has not updated (for example 2.6.35.5 to 2.6.35.6 is only a minor version bump) the driver may need to be recompiled. Safer to just do it everytime and restart the machine.
    Now I'm confused. Are you saying that the safest approach is to recompile and (re)install the nvidia module after each kernel update? And does this only apply to modules from beta & AUR, or [extra] as well? And shouldn't all this issue of recompiling modules also apply to every other module installed in the system?
    Yes that's the safest approach. [extra] is taken care of by the devs, the simple way is to assume they'll bump it if needed (and you don't need to do anything).
    The same thing applies to almost any kernel module (AFAIK). It applies to virtualbox's modules, for sure, as well as phc-intel (the only other 2 external modules I use). Most kernel modules are actually compiled in to the kernel26 package anyway, so its not very many. I just automatically recompile the ones I use whenever I notice a kernel/xorg update.

  • [SOLVED] no timidity service + pulse, kernel update (3.16.3-1)

    I had sound working before upon boot, but sound was failing after resume from suspend on HP dv7 laptop.  I hadn't gotten around to figuring out how to store alsa state (what I believe to be the solution to sound failing after suspend).  My install is about a week old.  I ran pacman -Syu to get into the habit of doing so.  Now I know why it is suggested to not do the updates when you don't have time to fix things that might need to be fixed.
    alsamixer is not muted, but I only see master channel as user or root - selecting the Intel PCH sound card within alsamixer allowed me to see the other channels, but speaker-test remained silent.  But I have been consistently seeing PCH Transcoder A errors on boot.  Wasn't sure what they were, since everything had worked prior to kernel update.  Investigating sound yields my hardware is Intel PCH, so these errors may be important, but I am also unsure how to access any log they might be recorded in.
    EDIT: speaker-test and timidity work in single user console mode, but not in KDE.

    fluidsynth (needed for Rosegarden) has been told to use pulseaudio instead of alsa directly (as per https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154002 )
    What worked to get speaker-test running in Konsole: adding -D to:
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/timidity -iA
    to become
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/timidity -iAD
    in /usr/lib/systemd/system/timidity.service (as per: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149339&p=2 post 29)
    Additionally, I was able to see a default audio device in KDE system settings...multimedia instead of just dummy device.  However, even after preferring the default audio device for everything (and it tests fine), Rosegarden still has no volume.  Timidity in Konsole plays audibly now too.  I am now going to reboot and see what the status is.

  • [SOLVED] Kernel bug? Need help soon!

    After a reboot my arch linux install wont log in anymore... When I enter my username and password at the prompt I get a flash of a screen and then the login prompt again, if I type in my username and such again it doesn't do anything... It just sits there...
    The same goes for gdm and such.
    I think the screen that flashes up (it's only a second there) is this one:
    May 2 16:22:27 icarus Assertion failure in dx_probe() at fs/ext3/namei.c:384: "dx_get_limit(entries) == dx_root_limit(dir, root->info.info_length)"

    Which is a snippet from my kernel.log. Does anyone know how to solve this? I really need to get into arch...

    It seems like the above is an incredible obscure error message which should tell you that you've got a corrupted file system...
    I had already ran fsck a couple of times and it always told me all my filesystems were ok, but desperate as I was I ran it once more on all my filesystems and now it fixed a bunch of errors on my home partition and arch booted... I don't really understand why fsck didn't do so the first time, but I'm happy I can finally boot arch again and continue working.
    Sorry for this useless-after-all post.

  • [SOLVED] Rebuild catalyst drivers automatically if kernel updated?

    Hi
    I use the catalyst proprietary drivers, and I read on the catalyst wiki page that it is possible to automatically rebuild (?) the drivers if the kernel was updated, to prevent the drivers not working on reboot. However, the wiki makes absolutely no sense to me.
    I need help installing catalyst_daemon, because I think that catalyst_daemon is the daemon that checks if a rebuild needs to be done. However, simply entering:
    pacman -S catalyst-daemon
    does nothing, because it complains that catalyst and catalyst-daemon are in conflict.
    What do I need to install, and how do I need to configure it, so that fglrx or the catalyst drivers are automatically rebuilt so that I don't get a black screen upon rebooting.
    Thanks in advance

    Oh, that sounds good. If I were to use catalyst-hook, would I simply install catalyst-hook? Do I need to add anything else?
    EDIT: I just noticed that catalyst-hook also conflicts with catalyst. I am assuming that is for the same reason as you just said, so I am assuming I would remove catalyst to make way for catalyst-hook

    I quote a comment "Nopes. It makes the UVD errors go away, but the boot still gets stuck at the same point. Everything hangs up, requiring me to do a hard reboot."
    The patch did not fix the bug. Honestly, the bug has been there since kernel 3.11.

  • [Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

    I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using  VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.
    When I start the installation of the modules from the GUI, the program just closes. Running vmware-modconfig in the CLI generates the following log file:

    Any hint, what's going wrong?

    Today, (Kernel  3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
    vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
    Solved (somehow).

  • Pacman kernel update cannot resolve dependency [SOLVED]

    Hi guys, I'm new to Arch and I just installed today! I'm working with Pacman currently, and trying to perform a system update. However, when I try to upgrade the kernel with pacman -Syu kernel26, it says I could not satisfy dependencies for ndiswrapper and tiacx because I need a newer kernel. But I'm trying to install a newer kernel! Plus, they don't seem like they matter for a kernel anyways. Can someone explain to me what is going on? Thanks, I appreciate it!
    Last edited by sunnieside-up (2011-08-11 09:16:11)

    No, pacman is telling you that it can't install the newer kernel because tiacx and ndiswrapper require an older kernel than what pacman is trying to upgrade you to. You'll need to remove those packages if you want to upgrade because we no longer support them in the binary repos.
    In the future, posting actual output rather than paraphrasing is greatly appreciated.
