[SOLVED] recent update seems to have broken my keyboard

hi guys.
i've just turned on my arch 64 system after updating last night (or possibly the day before...) and when i get to the gdm login the keyboard doesnt work. I can confirm the problem is not with the keyboard itself as i can still edit the boot options in grub. anyone else have this or have i broken something...
thanks in advance,
david
(edit: on screen keyboard doesnt seem to be working either)

I could be wrong, but my understanding is hal would be needed as soon as X starts - so yes it could affect login with gdm. That would also fit with it not working in slim or starting xterm.
If you're pretty sure it's related to the updates it might be helpful to post the parts of pacman.log that are relevant so we can see what exactly got updated.

[Solved] Recent update seems to have broke automount in XFCE

I seem to have managed to break my removable storage support. It had been working since installation several months ago. I have made no modifications to anything in /etc other than those that would be performed by package updates.
Tried copying /etc/skel/.xinitrc to ~/ and added exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4.
Checked output of groups to ensure I'm in the storage group.
Checked for presence of org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla:

Hi,
I automount four NFS mounts from my ubuntu server through /etc/fstab. This used to work perfectly. Until the latest filesystem update. The removable devices do not get mounted. They do not appear in Nautilus. But when I plug in a USB, they all get activated.
Anyway, I will try your solution.

Alexander

Update seems to have broken openbox theming.

I updated about 2 hours ago and it seems to have broken a lot of my window manager.
I use openbox as a standalone window manager and have had no issues so far.
I update every few days and today caused the resizing-freeze issue, so I downgraded the suggested packages which fixed that.
However I have another issue with theming.
Programs such as firefox, thunderbird, thunar etc... all have the correct theme. However I use some gnome programs such as rhythmbox and nautilus and neither of these are themeing correctly as well as terminator and all appear to have the default gnome theme.
I use obconf and lxappearence for themeing normally, however these seem to have no effect.
I've done a fair amount of searching and googling and am now very tired and am going to bed.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. If I am being stupid in my sleep deprived state please feel free to point it out XD.

Hi all. I'm also running Openbox and have done the following so far;
1. Installed gnome-themes-standard. Created a new folder ~/.config/gtk-3.0/; Created the file in the folder "settings.ini" with the following code;
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
Thanks to the info on the thread here
2. Checked out the post here. Downloaded the tar of Adwaita from this.page and did the usual "makepkg -s" magic and rebooted.
What I'm now getting is nm-applet in tint2 with the dark theme of Adwaita which is great but doesn't really match my dark theme axiomd but it's better than before.
What I'm wondering is how to manage this in lxappearance, change font etc?? If I select the theme Adwaita it's a light theme? Having looked in the directory there is both gtk-2.0 (i think this is the light one?) and gtk-3.0.
I've also noticed that it is affecting rhythmbox; slow to load and the status icon setting in the plugins is missing, so you close the GUI and find the app quits rather than the previous behaviour where it would close but the notification icon would still run in tint2 enabling one click control access to the GUI again.
I appreciate this is obviously a new implementation and will take a bit of time to learn but any tips from those in the know would be great!? TIA.

Where did my playlist go? Most recent update seems to have delelted them

We haven't used our iTunes much this summer, but when the latest update went thru, we hooked up the ipod to charge and none of our downloads or playlists are there. Any idea what happened to them and if we can get them back? Thank you in advance for your help!

I had this and just spoke to Apple help desk who sorted it out...
I had three audiobooks and an audio CD i had ripped to iTunes, i updated iTunes to the latest and also iPhone 6 to latest update but still couldn't see them AGGH!
The help desk showed me it was an issue with sharing, so… go on iPhone go into 'settings', go to 'music' scroll down and make sure "Home Sharing' is ON with your apple ID
Then go to computer and open ITunes, and go to 'File" and then 'Home Sharing" and make sure it is ON for the same apple ID
Connect sync and then go to your phone and open music and in the menu at the bottom where it says '… more' an Audiobooks option should have appeared.
For the ripped audio CD iTunes will have put it in Music (why i don't know!!) so go look there..
It worked for me, i hope it works for you - it was doing my head in!

Numbers seems to have broken

I was using Numbers this morning -- no major problem except that it didn't properly recover from page view (leaving junk on the right of the table).
This afternoon it seems to have broken. ALL my files, including the one from this morning have mostly blank cells. The contents seem to be there - if I click a cell the contents show up in the formula bar (or whatever it's called). And if I double-click to edit the contents reappear. But then go away again as soon as I finish with the cell.
Some (but not all) of the header cells in Gray Headers style show up, and some are simply a pair of faint white squares at the end of the text string. Check boxes show up OK.
Oh, and if I double click on a date it shows up for editing with the year as 00002010.
This is very distressing. I have a lot of data locked up in Numbers and as of now, all is unusable.
What's going on?

Thanks for the help. Actually I should have mentioned that I tried that (I've been using Macs since my Mac IIfx in 1990 so I picked up a few tricks) as well as restarting. The problem remains.
In the meantime I've tried opening my files (remotely) with another machine. No problems. It's local.
Next I'll try reinstalling Numbers, if I can find the disks

HT2693 My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back. Can I get the update out somehow? Thanks

My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

"UPAD lite?"
I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Illustrator crashing after 16.0.1update, 16.0.2 update seems to have fixed it

I am running win7 with latest updates, running Illustrator (64-bit) from CS6 Web and Design Premium Suite.
Illustrator crashed 6 times this week after installing the updates from the end of last week (update 16.0.1). The updates that were released today seem to have fixed it, although I cannot absolutely confirm this.
I have spent the past hour trying to break the software doing the same tasks that caused crashes earlier this week, and then far more extreme tasks then I would ever actually do or need to do, and have not been able to recreate the same crash problems.
I have been using Illustrator for nearly 15 years, it's been very rare that I've ever experienced an illustrator crash like what was happening after the 16.0.1 update. I didn't have time to troubleshoot the issue until today, fortunately the 16.0.2 update seems to have resolved the issue. If the issue returns I will follow up with another post - it's rare though that I find an article that says "I've had this problem, but it looks like you fixed it". Thank you Adobe for the fix.

10.6.2 combined update seems to have no effect

Hello all,
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.0) from Leopard (10.5.8) and everything looked pretty good. However, I've tried to install the "10.6.2 combined update" through Software Update two times now and it doesn't seem to have worked either time. I get no error message, but after my computer restarts the "About This Mac" window still shows a system version of 10.6. Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!

yes, it is if you are upgrading directly from 10.6. that's exactly what the OP got via software update.

5.0.1 update seems to have destroyed personal content (calendar, contacts, phontos) also from iTunes backup

I updated 5.0.1 to my iPhone 4. Just before it I syncronized the phone with iTunes not to loose my content. However after uploading 5.0.1 I couldn't first connect the to iTunes and when I finally succeeded to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone the version to be syncronised seems to have lost all my personal content. How can I get my calendar, contacts, photos, apps etc. back?

Thanks, but this didn't help me. My phone is a 3GS--maybe that makes the difference. What ended up working was to hook back up to iTunes and right click on my phone's name, click restore backup, click restore at the next prompt, and then tell it no when it asks about activating the iCloud. Now all my data is restored and the phone is working perfectly.

IMAQ Upgrade seems to have broken some code

We recently upgraded from the IMAQ 4.0 to 4.5, and some pieces of labview code we wrote have broken. When i boot it up, it gives me warnings like the ones at the bottom. I figure the simplest fix is just to download the old .dll files and overwrite them somehow...does anybody have any ideas on how to do this?

Oops, sorry, actually. I'm not sure what version it used to be, but it currently is 4.1. Is there a way to determine what we upgraded from?
No and those errors are no errors but warnings and as such in fact a bit overreacting. What it says is that a Call Library Node trying to load imaq.dll (which without path means to load it from the one of the Windows standard search paths where the system directory is also part of) has been redirected to load said DLL from the system directory. A rather strange message in fact as those are virtually the same for a properly configured Windows system. Bascially you can ignore this specific warning completely as it informs you of something that Windows will do anyhow, unless you start to copy and move DLLs that were originally installed in the system directory.
What LabVIEW version is that?

Latest ATV update seems to have worked...

I had been having a ton of problems with my downstairs ATV over the past month or so. It would continually drop out of itunes, and even restarting itunes wouldn't work. I tried a factory reset. Syncing would take up to 24 hours. Just really bad.
I did the check for updates and updated the software on the ATV with whatever changes were newest, and it seems to have worked. I've had itunes open for 24 hours and the Living Room ATV is still showing up on it. And I was able to stream some content somewhat efficiently. Still haven't tried to see how much improved the sync time is, but I'm hopeful.

OK, I tried running disk utility from the system disk as you suggested. It acted just the same way - froze about 1/3 of the way through. Gave the same error message, and the same scary message that if you stop running disk utility (which one must do since it will not run), then there is a risk of damaging the disk.
Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?

[SOLVED] rsync updating files that have not changed

I am trying to setup a backup system for my laptop. I have a USB hard drive (FAT formatted because I need to backup my wifes Windows laptop too). However, rsync keeps updating files that have not been touched in anyway between backups. In fact if I run my backup script twice in a row without otherwise using my computer, some files still get rewritten.
The rsync command I am using is:
rsync --force --ignore-errors -rv --delete
Any ideas why this is happening. I removed the options to preserve time, permissions etc because FAT does not support this.
Edit: It turns out the advise I read on the internet is wrong and FAT can have time preserved. This fixed the problem
