[Solved] No longer able to reboot/shutdown in latest XFCE...

After upgrading to the latest XFCE, the option to reboot and shutdown in the Action Buttons panel is greyed out... I guess this is a permission problem but how do I fix it?

Actually, I was a bit quick... I search and found the solution... The problem was an update of slim....
And yes, I am starting xfce from .xinitrc...
Solution: Replaced my xfce start command in .xinitrc with..
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

[Solved] No longer able to boot Kernel

Haven't been able to post this since I've been without internet for a time. Since the update requiring manual intervention on /etc/mtab (20th Dec, in the news feed) I have been unable to boot the kernel. Exact output is due to come (will have to try and boot it again then copy it down to get it) but the gist of it is that it can't find the modules, and so is not able to mount any partitions, dropping to an emergency shell.
I've tried using a livecd to access it, and can mount the partitions, but proc will not mount once chrooted into the environment, and without it mkinitcpio seems unable to detect any filesystems.
I suspect it's time for a reinstall because of this, but hope there's a fix that will save me the time and hassle of doing so.

You have to mount /dev and /proc before chrooting. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Re … e_you_boot
Other topics about the mismatch between the version of the kernel and the modules seem to be cropping up recently on the forum. Perhaps you will find some answers to your problem in them.

[SOLVED] SLiM no longer able to switch desktop environments

So after the latest upgrade of slim (1.3.5 -> 1.3.6) I am no longer able to switch between desktop environments using F1. Now it just boots my default environment (dwm). I had it configured fine and it worked before this update. Is there a fix?

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before. After that ... nothing.

[SOLVED: bug in ati drv] Screen flickering in Arch on reboot/shutdown

Hi, everyone!
I have just installed Arch (after N hours -- a little hard after fedora) and most things seem to work fine. However sometimes when I reboot/shutdown the machine, the screen starts flickering, showing horizontal stripes (just like a TV with bad signal).
The computer is Compaq Presario V2615US (AMD Sempron 3000+, ATI Radeon Xpress 200M, widescreen, laptop). The kernel and X are 2.6.28-ARCH and 1.5.3, respectively. I am using the ati (which in turn invokes radeon) driver in my xorg.conf. The Xorg.0.log shows no errors...
The problem seems to be correlated with the wireless networking, when I manually connect to a network with iwconfig (because I have never seen it, while using the cable). I had the same (unresolved) issue in Fedora 8 with X 1.3 (basically, this was the reason for me to switch to Arch).
Have anyone encountered similar problem? I also tired to install the catalyst driver from AUR, but it requires catalyst-utils, which in turn needs Xorg 1.6 wierd...
Thanx in advance,
Leonid.

My screen flickers when I reboot or shutdown from the Desktop. A pulsating flashing across the top half inch or so of my screen. If I killall X from the command line and the shutdown or reboot from the login screen, (kde), it doesn't flicker. After reading your post I tried shutting down eth0, and even removed the module. No flicker. So you are right. Did you find a solution? I am using intel from testing, but have had the same or similar problem since installing a couple of months ago.

After updating to 10.7.3 I am no longer able to connect to the internet.

Updated to 10.7.3 this morning on my Macbook Air (Oct. 2010 model). After restarting, I am no longer able to connect to the internet. I can connect to the router, and pull a valid IP address (sometimes - other times I get an automatic private IP), but I am unable to get to any websites, check email, etc. I am able to ping websites AND visit websites using their IP addresses, but not using their DNS names.
I called Applecare this morning, and the tech walked me through some troubleshooting steps, including:
Rebooting into Repair partition to check connectivity there (same issues, no change)
Deleting and recreating various config files (Networkinterfaces.plist, preferences.plist and com.apple.airport.preferences.plist) (no change)
I've also tried reinstalling the update (both delta and combo), repairing disk permissions and rebooting into safe mode, nether of which has solved the issue.
Also on the network are (Mini, not updated to 10.7.3), a PC, my iPhone and an Apple TV, all of which aren't experiencing any issues. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Here is something to try. Boot into the Recovery HD by holding
down Command+R when booting. Select the get help online option.
It initially opens Safari with a local web page, but you can use
the bookmarks on the bookmark bar or even enter a website.
Many extensions may not be available but it could tell you if
it is your Lion install that is a problem or perhaps a hardware
problem.
If you can browse around in this mode, then it could eliminate
any possible hardware issues. If you still have problems, then
the issue could possibly be hardware/driver related.
Give it a shot and see what happens.

I'm no longer able to use the projector VPL-ES4 with win7, he accuses error frequency

I'm no longer able to use the projector VPL-ES4 with win7, he accuses error frequency.
Working at a university here in Brazil Unicamp.
Here we have several projectors model VPL-ES4, we were using this projector with win7 however a few days they all stopped to show the image of computers accusing problem in frequency, we made all the alternatives so that One can be reestablished TRANSMISSION signal however all were in vain, reading in many forums found equal to our cases and the solution presented was to use a computer with win98 and it really worked, but with the end of support for this version of the system we are failing to use it, I wonder how we can solve this problem and why even this ocrrendo.
I thank you in advance for help and attention

Yes. NVIDIA+CRT+VGA cable = bad EDID.
Here's what you can do. Fully remove the xorg.conf file. Regenerate them using nvidia-xconfig, Open the nvidia's GUI as root and just click "Save configuration", or something among those lines. Google your monitor's manual and find the RIGHT vertical and horizontal sync frequency ranges. After setting them in your xorg.conf log-out and log-in again. Go to the nvidia settings gui, you should be able to use a higher resolution.
I've tried this a few times, but always end up with a "Signal out of range". I think the trick is finding the correct ranges. My monitor is a Soyo Topaz S 24", and I can't find any official manual or specs online. What I have found is this:
http://www.thinkcomputers.org/old/index … ews&id=733
That review indicates:
Frequency: Fh: 30 kHz - 80 kHz; Fv: 50 Hz - 75 Hz
So I set:
HorizSync 30-80
VertRefresh 50-75
Signal out of range, which is annoying because in order to fix it I either have to reboot using a live CD, mount the drive, or ssh into it. Whoever started the trend of disabling ctl alt backspace to kill an xsession is not my friend...
Some other forum posts about this monitor indicate that there may have been two variants, but I can't find a different set of specs.

My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support is no longer able to read all lightscribe discs(Blank or Containing Data)

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
FIRST OF ALL:
My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
My
sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply.
However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found
it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
the computer shuts down suddenly.
My problem is follows:::
First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
I was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/media-in-cddvd-drive-is-not-readable/794fe26a-7e47-45c4-a50b-0af2ed53f75b'
Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.

I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk/r /f'
I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc recording software.
However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE.
Thus, my questions are:
How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with another one.
I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while
my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the
primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and
then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOTrecognised/Installed on
BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files
at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then
clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that
made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto thesecondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same
primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS.
What is meant with with double Layer Support.
How much does it cost?

Did you try unsinatalling LightScribe application then checking the status ?

Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer.

Hello, I have a HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One printer. When I try to print, I receive this error message:
"Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
I am using a Mac PowerBook G4, OS v10.5.7. I have tried the following:
-- rebooted my Mac
-- turned printer off/on
-- rebooted wireless router
-- tried to print using USB cable.
I continue to receive the same error message. Helllllllllllllllp!!!!
A couple of other things I need to mention: I bought this printer in June and have been able to print just fine since purchasing
this printer. As recently as Friday, July 3, I was able to print and printed 6 or 7 pages then. This is CRAZY!!!!
Thanks.

I'm using a mac (OS X - snow leopord) and am printing over the network (wirelessly).
HP Photosmart Premium Fax All in One - C410a
I was only able to print one page and then both my printer and my computer would display an error message about the printer's inability to print. Since then I've been able to resolve my specific problem.
I
1. uninstalled HP from my computer (checked to ensure that my printer was no longer visible in my printers and the HP Utility software was nowhere to be found),
2. grabbed the software/driver update from Aug, 2010,
3. installed the Aug, 2010 update, and my problems seem to have been fixed.
This is where I got my 2010 update from (obviously you should get the driver/software applicable to your OS and specific printer):

No longer able to access Web Management after Firmware Update [SF200]

Hello!
Today I was attempting to set up SNMP on our SF200-48 switch. I realized we were running old firmware which does not support SNMP and that the most current version (1.4.0.88) does support it. I attempted to upgrade the firmware but it failed, so I decided to install the 1.1.2.0 firmware because I read that the firmware flash process has changed before 1.4
Unfortunately, after rebooting I was no longer able to access web management on the switch. Unfortunately SF200 switches do not support CLI.
The switch is functional and responds to ping, but I cannot get into management to do anything, is there any steps we can try or will I need to reset the switch? After resetting the switch, will I lose any configuration but still not be able to access management? We do not have any other switches to drop in place of this one, and I'd like to minimize downtime as much as possible.
thanks,
Graham Rounds

Hi Graham,
if you are sure that the ping response is coming from the switch then I guess the only thing you could try is the factory reset but you will loose all the configuration. You might call also Small Business Team and open a ticket so they will proceed with RMA if necessary:

After I unplug headphones, the speakers no longer work until rebooted. Anyone else experience this? Also had the same issue on the Droid Razr Maxx.

Ahh. We can still help find the culprit, TeaParty14. Do you have any 3rd party applications installed to play your music? Are you able to hear any audio if you plug the headphones back into the phone instead of rebooting? Any audio for calls through the phone direct or through speakerphone?
