[Solved] problems after "udev - systemd-tools" update

Hello,
After the last pacman -Syu the keyboard, the mouse and the sound card of my notebook have stopped working..
The last update was:
Pacchetti (10): dnsmasq-2.62-1 fakeroot-1.18.4-1 filesystem-2012.6-2
geoip-database-20120606-1 icu-49.1.2-1 krb5-1.10.2-1
libsystemd-185-1 mx-1.4.6-1 rsync-3.0.9-3
systemd-tools-185-1
the keyboard works in a tty shell, doesn't work only in X... but if i plug an USB mouse or keyboard the plugged device works also fine in X.
this is my modules and daemons in rc.conf:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave vboxdrv bridge tun)
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus !network @networkmanager @netfs @crond @sensors @bluetooth gdm)
thanks to everyone

I have a SSD, I read on the forum that a possible optimization was to mount in ram /var/run and /var/lock...
before having these problems I mounted it in this way and everything worked perfectly.
none /var/run tmpfs mode=0755,size=10m,noatime,nosuid 0 0
none /var/lock tmpfs mode=1777,size=10m,noatime,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
after the system upgrade i have tryed to mount /run in ram but that created these problems...
so I just mounted /run/lock in ram and everything works fine

Searching problem after 10.5.6 Update

Hello everyone, we are having a problem with searching shares mounted on clients from a server.
Prior to 10.5.6 we could search an entire share as well as folders in the share. After 10.5.6 we can't search the share and we can only search folders in the share.
The server is currently running 10.4.11.
I guess what I'm wondering is... are there people with server 10.5 that are also seeing this problem or would upgrading the server fix this search issue?
Thanks
Mike

Same problem here, upgraded to 10.5.6 and cannot search our apple server running tiger. Windows shares on 2003 server works fine. Will an upgrade of our Apple server to Leopard solve this issue? Is there an easy way to "uninstall" 10.5.6 without reinstalling the computer

Hi all...
I recently installed the 10.5.6 OS upgrade and I've encountered a problem. I can no longer search my network attached servers - there is no search activity of any kind when I type in search terms. My local search works fine...I just can't search anything on my network ... windows servers. Is there a compatibilty issue between OS X 10.5.6 and Extreme Z-IP? Any helpful tips

After upgrading our workstations from Mac OS 10.5.5 to 10.5.6, we no longer receive Finder search results from our file server that runs Mac OS X Server v.10.4.11.
Are there any other solutions available other than rolling the workstations back to 10.5.5 or upgrading the file server to 10.5.6

3 Problems after jb 4.3 update

stockmail exchange active sync shows only headers - no mail content
bluetoth connect to my HTC One S didn´t work
screen flickers when using virt. keyboard
since everything worked well with 4.2.2 and there was no help from sony i decided to do a rollback
!* same problems with 10.41.B.0.109 (last working version for me is 10.3.1.C.0.136 aka 4.2.2)

hi.
I contacted Sony about the Bluetooth / Wireless problem after the 4.3 update, eventually all I got back was that they're aware of the problems (Bluetooth) and are working on it for the next update. How long this will take is anyones guess.
I find it incredible that they rolled out the 4.3 update because it has so many bugs, at least give us an easy way to roll-back to 4.2.2 ...... that actually worked!

[solved] udev = systemd-tools: system no longer boots completely

Hi guys. Today I updated my system, and now it won't boot past the boot messages. It appears that my ttys aren't being "made" (?). The actual errors appear to be
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-tty2.device
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-tty3.device
Booting into rescue.target doesn't complete either.
Downgrading systemd-184-2 => systemd-44-7, and replacing systemd-tools with udev allows me to boot successfully again.

Huh. I guess the problem was a couple of stale and crusty {,f}getty .service files, and an obsolete slim.service file I created a while back.
Removing them fixed my problem, although tty1 still shows boot messages (not a problem, and may not even be "new" behaviour)

[SOLVED] Unexpected problems after installing systemd

Hi there,
Since I read that Arch is going to start using systemd I decided to install it. I followed the systemd wiki article (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … g_to_start) and at first sight everything seemed OK and I didn't have much problems with it. My only serious problem was that the network-manager plasmoid in KDE was not working properly - it stated that Network Manager was not started. After searching the forums I found out that the problem was due to my pam login file for lightdm not configured properly and I managed to fix the problem. However after several days of use I found out the following additional problems:
1. Removable drives not working - before usb flash drives and sd cards were automounted by KDE when i inserted them. Now nothing happens (I tested with a usb flash drive and an sd memory card).
2. My laptop's touchpad feels very slugish and scroll is not working. After I tried to check the touchpad settings in the KDE control centre I found out while all the touchpad settings are present, they are greyed out and can't be changed.
3. Sound is extremely choppy in wine games. In native linux games (Faster Than Light for example) it is OK. It is also OK in other native linux applications like clementine and mplayer. I am using pulseaudio which i've set up in accordance with the pulseaudio wiki article.
I tried to recall any problems I may have had while setting up systemd and the onlything ordinary i can thing about was that when i tried to do "systemctl enable dbus.service" (because the systemd wiki article advised me to "systemctl enable" all daemons listed in my former rc.conf) I got the following output: "The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.". On the other hand the dbus.service seems to be running just fine:
"dbus.service loaded active running D-Bus System Message Bus"
Has anyone encounter similar problems when using systemd?
Best regards!

I had some time to tweak my system and i have an update on my problems - the 1st and 2nd problems were solved by reverting back to initscripts and setting up systemd again. I can swear i followed the same instructions (on the arch linux wiki page) as before but somehow after it did it those problems disappeared. I am now running a pure systemd system and everything appears to be OK. Regarding the 3rd problem it turned out that it was a pulseaudio issue. After I set up pulseaudio initialy I checked wine and it was running fine but apparently I have tweaked my pulseaudio setup since then and this broke wine. Systemd being the biggest change to my system before i detected the problem, i assumed that it was the reaseon. However it seems that pulseaudio was the culprit and after a little tweking with its configuration file it seems to be OK now. If anyone has the problem, this setting described in the arc wiki was the reason for my problem - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … _crackling . Using the default set up (as opposed to the option described in the wiki) solved my problem.

If you just installed it, then you need to update grub with os-prober/grubmkconfig.
If you had it installed previously, had a working grub entry and then updated to 3.14.28-1-lts, then we'll need to look into what is going wrong.

Are you using KDE Plasma 5? It looks like that might be related. And what's meant by "I tried many things"? What did you try?

Another major problem after 10.4.8 update

Hi everyone,
I've never had any major problem with any Mac OS update yet until I had the crazy idea to install the 10.4.8 update last week. I wish I would have never done this. This is also the first time I wish I had Windows since I can't remember such a big screw up with any Windows update I've seen.
But back to the problem, after the installation on my old 12" Powerbook (1.33GHz with an additional 1GB of RAM) the system got really slow. The harddisk was accessed all the time, so after reading some forums people said that Spotlight would run a re-index of the database which made sense to me. So I just let it run over night and the next day the permanent HDD access was gone, but whenever I tried to access a folder it took ages (HDD access again...). So I decided to reboot which took about 20 minutes until the desktop fully showed up and was useable. Again, I had HDD access all the time. After two hours or so it stopped again, but as soon as I clicked on something, for example a folder, it started again. At that point the Powerbook was simply not useable anymore because I couldn't even start a program.
So I start browsing through several forums and many people suggested to re-install the 10.4.8 combo update again. That's what I tried, after a while I could only hear the HDD access running and running. The installer said 29 minutes left and progress bar didn't move any further. I had it running for over a hour like that. I couldn't abort it, I could start no other software, nothing. It still showed 29 minutes and the HDD was accessed all the time.
So I restarted the Powerbook since this obviously wasn't going anywhere. Apple logo came up, the little gear spinning thing as well and of course I could hear the HDD being accessed. After two hours of doing this I aborted and decided to boot into safe mode to install the combo update. Again, same situation. HDD running like crazy and Apple logo, but no login screen coming up.
So I decided to boot from the Install disk and have the disc utility check the HDD... but of course after selecting the language and clicking continue at the screen when the HDD first shows up it starts to access the HDD... I can't select the HDD, I can't even get to the DU, nothing. It's been running like that for hours now. It seems like whenever the HDD is involved in something the accessing starts and just keeps running without any result. The HDD is getting very hot already.
I've never run into such a problem before, so I'm kinda clueless what to do next. I don't mind to reinstall, but I have some files on that HDD that I need (some notes in text files, some emails and so on).
So at this point I can't boot into OS X to access the HDD and I can't use the installer disk to access DU or even reinstall if I wanted to. I don't think the HDD is broken, this only happened after the 10.4.8 update. It just seems that every HDD access takes hours and hours longer than it should.
What options do I have to get my data from the disk? I'll try to install OS X to a new external drive tomorrow (need one with firewire first). If that doesn't help I thought about pulling out the HDD from the Powerbook and hook it up to my MacMini or an iMac.
If anyone has any other suggestion or solved a similar problem before, please let me know.
Best,
Stephan

Problems after iOS 6.0 update with iMessage and FaceTime

After iOS 6.0 update i had problems to used iMessage and FaceTime

Messages will almost send but stop right before completion. FaceTime will go through only after multiple attempts. After that iMessage will work for a little while. Have talked with folks at apple support but they did not have a solution. Have tried both closing out the programs as well as turning the iPod off and back on. Neither has solved the problem. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for your help.

Dial-up connect problem after 10.4.9 update

After installing the 10.4.9 update it has been very difficult to connect to the dial-up internet server. It may take 19 tries clicking "Connect" before it connects and sometimes it connects after four tries. The error messages vary: unable to connect to PPP or no carrier detected are the most frequent messages. Once on-line everything works fine except for being able to send mail. I'm unable to send mail - that error message wants the SMTP server settings and any advanced settings checked.
I called Apple support and the Apple Tech had me reconfigure the Network to dial an "800" number to a PPP Dial-Up Test Site. When that worked succussfully a window displayed a message that the modem, the PPP or Remote Access software, the TCP/IP software is functioning and correctly configured for a PPP connection to this server. The Apple Tech checked the information on the 10.4.9 upgrade and did not find any reason to think it would cause this problem. Apple Tech suggested I contact the dial-up server.
The dial-up server went over all the configurations and they were all correct. During my phone call to them they could hear the computer dial-up sounds and said it sounded like the normal "hand-shake". The dial-up server has had no reports of problems with connecting to their service other than mine.
If anyone knows what could have caused this problem, how to fix it or has the same problem I'd be very interested in hearing from them.
Thanks, AppleProblem

You have been most helpful and we think the problem is solved. After I send this message explaining what has transpired I'll go back and click on the "Solved" button.
Based upon your suggestion to try "Script, like v32" I started experimenting with the four internal modem options we have in our Modem settings. They are v.32, v.34, v.90 and v.92. I tried to connect three different times with each one. The v.32 didn't connect, the v.34 connected all three times, the v.90 connected the first two but not the third or the fourth try. On the fifth attempt the Mac froze up, the mouse/arrow wouldn't work and there was a high speed motor sound. I tried a Force Quit (Option,Command,Escape), I tried a Hard Shut Down (holding the power key) and when these didn't work I pulled the plug. Then, I booted back up and connected on the second try using the v.90. I don't know why the computer froze up and assume it is nothing to be concerned about.
I then called our ISP and found that the two access numbers are both v.90. I suspect that until we did the version upgrade to the 10.4.9 that our computer was accommodating the v.90 eventhough it was a v.92 (!?!). Just a guess.
I also asked the ISP tech why we couldn't send mail. He asked if we had the password set for the outgoing mail. He said if we're using the access number owned by them it didn't require a password but the other access number is not owned by them and is used by other ISPs and it does require a password. We had never set up our Mail Preferences outgoing mail settings to use a password. Before our connect problems we had always used the number owned by them and after the connect problems we started using the other number because we found that we could connect to it with fewer attempts. We put in the necessary information and now have no problem sending mail.
We have also been looking for another ISP and the web site you gave us www.fastermac.net looks very promising. They have one access number in our area and we want to check if it is v.92 or v.90. During our research for an ISP we learned that if it is a v.92 access number (and we use our v.92 modem) we'll be able to answer phone calls and remain online. That will be a real blessing. Thanks!
We really appreciated your brain storming with us and your perseverance. Thanks so much!

SMS problem after 3.1.2 update

Hi,
I am not receiving any text messages after 3.1.2 update, and my phone has become too slow. Can one help please.
Thank you

Hello Carolyn,
Thank you for the warm welcome. As for my problem I did not want to be more specific but here are the gory details : I have 2 iphones. A 3GS with the 3.1.2 software and a regular 3G with the 3.0 software.
Whenever I plug the 3G, it appears in the 'My Computer' screen. I have access to the camera roll and can transfer my pictures to the computer folder I use for later iTunes transfer, using the Photos tab.
Now when I plug the 3GS, nothing happens. I checked the autoplay features based on the webpage you sent, and it did not solve the problem. Both phones actually have the same settings, and only the regular 3G works. I am now thinking about trying backup restore and/or factory defaults restore, to see if it fixes the problem.
What happens to the camera roll in these situations ? Is it included in the backup ? Otherwise I will have to find a way to get them :-/

Before everything was working great cause I care the system with clean my iMac and other applications everyday and mostly I use recording programs like Pro Tools. After update the restart came and iMac's CPU was jumping at 20-30% without touching anything! I saw on Activity Monitor and <mds> was running! I want to ask what is that and how I can remove it and not running all the time. I close it from Activity Monitor every time the system starts but I want to remove it and don't see it as it wasn't before! After reading other topics, I did verify and repair permissions from Disk Utility and Mac Osx disc but mds starts when system boot.

This problem started happening to me on both my iMacs as well. I have a brand new 27" 3.06 Core2Duo which started to experience boot and shutdown problems after running the 10.6.6 update. My 21.5 3.06 Core2Duo (have had for just over a year) is suffering quite a bit more. My 21.5" iMac has Bootcamp installed, as mentioned in this thread and at the following thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12968046#12968046
I had noticed extremely sluggish behavior and many cases of the spinning wheel of lost hope. I run MenuMeters, so noticed a higher than usual CPU utilization - looking into Activity Monitor, mds was taking between 30% and 50% of my CPU.... ordinarily that shouldn't be a problem, but since that is Spotlight's indexer, I imagine there was IO contention. I plan on removing Bootcamp this weekend (don't really use it anymore thanks to Parallels 6).
Additionally, I have experienced horrible WiFi performance on both iMacs since updating. I have seen a few mentions on the Internet about this, but no real official acknowledgement. My icon in the Menubar indicates that the connection is still solid, however, I'm unable to resolve websites, etc. I assume that it is losing its connection momentarily to my router, and not reresolving with DHCP upon reconnect. This problem seems to be pretty repeatable when I use Fast User Switching... Anyone else having this problem? I have ruled out my router, as my Windows box and Linux laptops have zero issues. I hope Apple is resolving this issue -- making me eat my words when I told my wife that we HAD to go Mac since its so much more reliable!

Problems after recent slew of updates

After the recent mass of updates through pacman...I have a few problems. My UPS monitor applet doesn't show up in the taskbar anymore...however it's still being detected, and I can view the status of it w/ "apcaccess status". Another problem I'm having is now ALSA's PCM channel is all messed up again. I've tried the usual fix...blacklisting all the sound modules except for the sound card driver and snd-pcm-oss...but that doesn't work either. Anybody else seeing these problems as well??

Update: Found a fix for the mouse sensitivity issue. The new xorg server includes new options to put into your xorg.conf file. More information can be found here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Docum … 34190b732d .
As far as the option I put into my xorg.conf file to fix it was this:
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "3"
Hope this helps people in the future.

Problems after 10.6.8 Update?

Ever since I updated my Mac to 10.6.8, I have been having problems with my MBP freezing. It will freeze, then come back and I have to re-launch finder. Also, MS Outlook 2011 freezes when I delete mail, or simply try to quit it(Force Quit). Safari freezes when it opens up too, and it does what a PC does upon login, "warm up" so i can no longer start doing what ever immediately. Is anyone else having this problem?

My 2011 MBP 13" i7 has had no issues whatsoever after
10.6.8 update. However, the process I went through was
as follows:
    1. Booted my MBP from a clone on a Firewire drive.
         (hard drives are so cheap these days there is no
          excuse not to have a clone or TM backup)
    2. Ran a repair disk on the internal drive using
         Disk Warrior. Disk Utility repair disk will work
         as well.   I use Disk Warrior because I can also
         run a check for corrupt files.
    3. Repaired permissions on the internal drive.
    4. Rebooted to internal drive.
    5. Updated my clone, so that I have a clean system
         to revert to.
    6. Downloaded the Combo update and ran it.
    7. After reboot, repaired permissions.
Now, for those of you who are having slow systems after
the update, check process monitor to see what is sucking
up the CPU time. Then go from there.
For those of you with system freezing issues, boot in safe
mode. If the problems go away, then some driver or process
is being loaded at normal boot that is causing the problem.
Also, if you are using any "add ons" to applications such as
Safari or Mail, disable them, if you can, and see if the issue
persists.
With all this said, yes my MBP is running just fine with 10.6.8,
but my 2010 Mini has annoying audio issues with the update.
There may be more on it, but the audio issues are enough
for me to go back to 10.6.7, since this is part of my
entertainment system.

Printing problems after 10.6.5 update

Any news on a possible problem with the latest system update? After doing this the other day I can't seem to print correctly out of photoshop CS5. The print box seems to preview correctly but does not come out the way I want. The same file opened up on a 10.6.4 system will print good. I hear it may be the upgrade that happened. Is there a fix coming out soon? Or any ideas on how I can help my computer. Also, just in case you tell me to do this I already cleaned house on the preferences for photoshop.

Mac Pro Boot Problems After 10.6.2 Update

After installing the latest version of snow leopard I am now having boot problems on my mac pro.
Symptoms;
-Screen resolution is incorrect at apple splash screen.
-Takes a lot longer than usual to boot.
-Once booted the blue tooth magic mouse isn't imediately reckonised, takes a while to find that.
-Once the mouse is finally reckonised it can move around but can't click on anything or bring up the dock. Tried a wired mouse, had the same problem.
-The keyboard is also not appearing to do anything, none of the shortcuts or quick keys work..
Had exactly the same problem after 3 restarts but on the 4th after leaving it for a good 20-30minutes it setled down and everything was working okay. However this is a recurring problem as I had the same thing yesterday...
I have a my 10.5.8 system backed up on an external so I am running from that at the moment. Don't want to go back to snowy til these problems are solved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Martin

Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
Let us know.
