[Solved]Problem booting - nvidia is trying to boot, but not succeeding

I did a recent pacman -Syu upgrade which failed due to files existing already - they were
/usr/lib/libEGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libEGL.so
/usr/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
/usr/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so.1
/usr/lib/libGLESv2.so
/usr/lib/libGLESv2.so.2
So I moved these files so they had an extension of -old after them - they are still there.
The upgrade succeeded - but applications wouldn't run.
I had a problem running some applications after this upgrade (e.g. firefox complained about some sort of XCOM - I wish I wrote this command down).
Now, when I boot, X fails to start with nvidia splash screen cycling around and keyboard not loading (I can't interrupt this loop). When booting normally I get the last reports to screen -
started account service Reached target graphical interface arch
I've since managed to boot in at what is similar to the old run level 1 - with root.
What are the best ways of recovering this system and allowing nvidia to boot syccessfully?

Roll back the nvidia update, move back the files you moved, wait for the package conflict to be resolved (should be imminent -- packages are already in testing[1]), and next time please search before posting or trying to fix problems like this, chances are it's not just affecting you [2].

  • [Solved] Syslinux boots but not loads completely

    Since my last update, 2 weeks ago, syslinux in my root partition doesn't completely loads. I've tried to mount the root partition and reinstall and edit again the syslinux but it didn't work. I don't know what to else to do to repair it.

    Please provide much more detail.
    How far does it get in booting?  Do you see the syslinux menu, or does it not get that far?  Are there any error messages or output?  If so, post them.
    What do you mean you've mounted the root partition and editted "the syslinux"?  I assume you booted a live medium to do maintainance, but what did you reinstall (`pacman -S syslinux`, or `syslinux-install_update -i -a -m`?)  Did you also mount your boot partition when you were doing this maintainance?
    Also, if you can check your logs to see what you updated two weeks ago, that may help.  But if you only update every few weeks, it will likely be just about everything updated.

  • IWeb booting but not opening

    I have successfully moved my Monmouth Boat Club (monmouthboatclub.org) site to an FTP server and it has its ups and downs but generally OK. I am aware of the quirkiness of opening iWeb domain in Lion as opposed to Snow Leopard. And, above all, I back up the domain multiple places. My latest and most annoyng problem is that on my iMac (running 10.6.8), at times the domain will BOOT but not OPEN..... iWeb open innavigation but I can't get the page up. It might open the fourth time I try...or an hour or a day later. In a pinch, I go back to one of my laptops (running Lion) and open it and make changes. However, Ineed the domain to both boot and open every time on my iMac/Snow Leopard machine.Is anyone having a similar problem and can you give me some advice....
    Art

    Yes.  Lion has messed up the iWeb preference file.  There is an easy solution for that:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on itunes, how do I move them back to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on my computer but i cannot move them over to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    well first make sure that when you click on the name of your iphone on the left hand side of itunes that you go to the app and music tab and check mark the sync apps and sync music. then try clicking apply in the bottom right hand corner. then if not try doing it again after going to prefrences in the top menu and going to devices tab and click reset sync history if that doesnt work with music try and drop and drag to the name of your iphone, lastly if that doesnt work you can try restoring from a backup from before you updated. it will keep the new software but put everything that was on your phone when you created the backup back onto your phone.

  • TS4006 My i5 is water damaged & will boot but not operate.  I wish 2 sell it but wish 2 erase all data b4 delivering.  Suggestions?

    My i5 is water damaged.....will boot with logo but not operate.  I wish 2 sell, but must wipe data first.  Suggestions?

    Not operate?
    Try this...  tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    If that won't work, then you won't be able to delete all the deta.
    Rather doubtful you can sell an water damaged iPhone ...

  • Task Sequence fails on "Apply Driver Package" when PXE-booting but not with bootable media

    I have an issue where my Task Sequence fails during 'Apply Driver Package' when PXE-booting but works ok when booting from CD or USB-stick. It fails withe error code 0x80070002 and when pressing F8 and checking the ipconfig there's a 169.254.x.x address.
    Somehow it looses it's real ip during the process.
    I'm grateful for any advice!

    Please enable verbose logging for Task sequence, then upload the smsts.log to Skydrive.
    0x80070002 error is too generic, which cannot be used to determine the cause.

    Anyone experiencing problems sending mail using Apple Mail viaTalkTalk - can receive but not send  - was ok up until pm 24/08/12 - have recently loaded Mountain Lion patch could this be the problem?

    "I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
    Superb advice R&W!  My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1).  Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me.  Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
    Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

  • I have an iphone 3 and outlook 2010. I cleaned up all my outlook contacts and tried to sync but not all of the existing contacts on my phone show up in outlook. Is there a way to sync all numbers on iphone to oulook so I can clean them up from my desktop?

    I have an Iphone 3 and use Outlook 2010. I just recently tried to sync with my desktop using Itunes and once they were synced I cleaned up alot of the contacts using outlook but when I tried to sync them not all the information from outlook made it to my iphone. Additionally, there are a lot of contacts in my iphone that are not showing up in outlook. I have tried several things but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    So after looking a bit closer i have noticed that when i have the phone plugged into the computer it shows the songs but when i dont have it plugged in and i go so the song icon on the bottom of the music menu screen it says i have no songs!
