[SOLVED] Skype crashing soon after login

Hi Everyone,
I'm using OSS.
I installed skype-oss and successfully managed to use it yesterday.
I tried to revert back to ALSA this morning, but as I wasn't able to get it working, I decided to stick to OSS.
Skype just crashes soon after I login. I've tried what was suggested here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sk … mmediately , but it hasn't helped.

Is there anything I can do to get Skype working again?
Thanks,

Ehm... Does your sound work with oss? As in can you hear sound?
Try fresh Skype configuration directory:
mv ~/.Skype ~/.Skype_bcc
To revert back to ALSA you need to uninstall OSS and remove the blacklisted modules, and then restart or
modprobe soundcore

Hope that helps.

INDD CS 3 crashes soon after, or at (5.03) startup

Hello, I have read through the "InDesign CS3 crashes upon launch" thread and will continue to search through the forums and the KB, but I am desperate and hoping for some help quick.
After working fine last time I used it (a couple of weeks ago), now, soon after starting up and making a couple of changes in a document, InDesign CS3 hangs (Not Responding) then gets a strange-looking window with a thumbnail graphic of (looks like) an Explorer window (?) - no words, then the Windows Error message that INDD has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution to the problem, A problem has caused INDD to stop working, Close program. Same thing with several different document or if I start a new document.
The difference since using it last time may be that I tried to clear some disk space in order to install Vista SP1, and I could have deleted some necessary files I suppose. However, uninstalling and reinstalling INDD has not helped. (Installing SP1 was ultimately unsuccessful, and I have given up on that.)
I will also try system restore (hoping there is a restore point to go back to) but since I am desperate and short on time, I am putting out the cry for help now since you all have been so helpful in the past and of course it is the weekend and of course I must do this job this weekend and cannot wait for Tech Support on Monday. Thank you all in advance.
System is Windows Vista Ultimate with Intel integrated graphics and 1 gb RAM.
Things I tried so far:
1. uninstalled, restarted then reinstalled Indesign
2. changed default printer to PDF (then XPS)
3. deleted SING folder
4. renamed Indesign Defaults to Indesign Defalts.old
5. deleted recovery data when prompted
6. installed 5.0.3 update.
Actually after 5.03 things have changed. Now the program doesn't even start up (crashes at intializing plugins splash screen).

Ken,
I'm not familiar with DIX, but it sounds like a good product. I use Acronis True Image 11 ($49.99 at www.acronis.com and you can download a 30 day trial) along with two different backup drives, an internal 200 gb that gets the images from my 100gb system partition once a week (OS and programs don't change often), and an external 500 gb Maxtor ($99.99 at Tiger direct http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3617656&sku=M1 22-7816 )which gets a nightly image from my data drive.
Acronis supports both internal and external hard drives and opticals (and floppies, but...)and allows full, incremental, or differential backups on any schedule you choose, as well as individual file backup and restore and drive cloning. All of these things can be done from the installed program, or from a bootable CD, and the interface is identical whether running under Windows or from the CD, which allows you to view the contents of any drive on the system before you make a move, unlike the old version of Ghost I used.
It has a "try and decide" function, if you have the space, which clones your system into a virtual partition and track the changes while you do an installation or such, and if you decide you don't like what's going on you simply abandon it and no change to the system is made. There's also a "recovery manager" feature you can enable that allows you to run the application at boot, as if you'd used the CD, but it keeps my system from starting at all (see below) and is pretty redundant if you have the CD.
The only issue I've had is it uses a Linux OS on the startup disk (I think), and because I have 8 IDE channels set up it shuffles drive letters on my system when using that interface. In spite of what both the BIOS and windows think, it always shows my boot drive as D: and something on the add-in primary channel as C:, but once I figured it out things have gone smoothly. Having the startup manager installed was doing the same thing at boot, and there was no OS on the drive that was being called C:, so no boot to Windows. Although they didn't solve it for me, the folks at tech support were pretty helpful.

Windows XP hard crash reboot after login

I've seen a few topics about this, but none of them with solid regression info yet so i'm starting this thread. I hope some of you out there can help out, but I fear the answer is that were all screwed.
SUMMARY:
Windows XP will hard crash (reboot) just after login after loading the UI and during the loading of network components. This then results in the system rebooting into a black screen with no standard windows debug. (which can be forced by F8) Hard shut down is required to restart boot process. This problem can also occur from a waking from sleep, and very rarely occurs at random. When its caused during normal operation its usually spawned on by pressing a button on the keyboard. It will occur randomly at startup, and will occur with Starup Disc set or Option Select. Rarely it will boot into windows XP on the first try, more often (over time) it will require 3-5 reboots to get into XP successfully. This problem isn't caused by the install of any software, instead it progressively gets worse over time. I have experienced this problem with BootCamp 1.3, 1.4 and 2.0 on my MacBook Pro 2.16, but I have never experienced it with my Mac Pro ever which has the same OS and bootcamp installed.
I'm convinced it has something to do with the network drivers and how they are loading. I've noticed that the times it fails to boot that the WiFi and Local Area network icons aren't loaded in the system tray, and the times I have success getting into XP that they are already present when the UI is loading. This same behavior occurs on my Mac Pro and other PC clones, but they dont hard crash when this occurs. On them, you just have to wait for the network to be available.
STEPS:
0) MacBook Pro 2.16 17", Mac OS X 10.5.1, Bootcamp 2.0, Windows XP Pro SP2
1) Power up
2) Hold down Option (can set bootdrive as well)
3) Select Windows
4) Select a User (with password set)
5) Enter password
RESULTS:
Hard crash reboot just after UI loads while network compoents begin to load into the system tray.
WORKAROUND:
Shoot dog
REGRESSION:
Never occures on Mac Pro
Occures with Bootcamp 1.3, 1.4 and 2.0
P.S. I'm writing this in Bootcamp

UPDATE
I've gone into msconfig and turned off everything and have been starting up just fine, so it seams one of these items is cuasing the problem. I see that some people say its the keyboard manager, and I wouldn't doubt it now. So i'm going to leave everything off for now, make sure its always booting and then slowing rool items back on. I'll keep this up to date.
If you want to do this yourself, you can do it two ways.
Built in:
1) Click on the Start Button
2) Select Run...
3) type "msconfig" and hit OK
4) Select the "Startup" tab
5) Unselect everything you see there
6) Close and reboot!
3rd party (the way i prefer)
1) Get Spybot (the new one is awesome)
2) install Spybot
3) Run Spybot
4) Update, immulize and scan (optional, but you will be surprised)
5) Select the "Mode" menu option
6) Select "Advanced mode"
7) Select 'tools" on the lower left hand side
8) Select "System Startup"
9) uncheck all options.
10) close and reboot!
Note: this appiaction is really great, and it will also install a device to watch for reg changes which is good for this sort of regression. Again, its not nessiary to install spybot, but i love it and have it on every PC i ever use and have never regretted it. IT WONT SLOW YOUR COMPUTER LIKE OTHER CRAPPY APPS. This is a very light and clean app.

Crash right after login on windows 8 and android w...

Skype crashes on android and also on windows 8. But when i login with a different username, it all works fine. So there is something wrong with my account, but what?

exactly the same problem for me too... and the other accounts are working perfectly.

Mail crash soon after launch solution

I have been having this problem for days and have been pulling my hair out ever since. Mail.app simply crash seconds after launch. I tried every suggestions on the forum, even created a new account to rule out account setting and mail box problem. I have experienced this problem since my last major OS update, so I figured probably something to do with corrupted system files.
I also noticed dotmacsync crashes at every startup, so I thought it might be something to do with sync services. To confirm this, I launch iSync, and it crashes immediately.
I disabled all seem related frameworks one by one to see which affect all 3 services, mail.app, iSync.app and dotmac. After some digging through, I found SyncServices.framework. Restored it from backup, and all good now.
Hope this would help someone in the same boat.

Check out the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6139445. Solutions posted there worked for me (deleting To Dos in iCal; note that you can still use To Dos after performing this fix).

Webcam crashes soon after call starts, then Skype ...

So I just got an SSD with a fresh installation of Windows, Skype and everything else. Before the new drive I had no problems
I have a Logitech Pro 9000 webcam which I've used for a couple years with no problem. But ever since installing this new drive I've found that the webcam freezes some thirty seconds into my call and will not unfreeze for the duration of the call. If I try turning off my webcam to turn it back on again (through Skpe) it greys out the 'video on' button and won't let me. If I end the call and try to restart Skype, the process will hang and I'll have to restart my computer to resolve it.
I've also found that my Razer Tiamat headset mic will be detected by Skype but won't pick up any audio.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit version).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

[SOLVED] Compiz crashes Gnome after pacman update

Hardware: Nvidia NVS 3100M, latest drivers 260.19.36
Software: latest pacman -Suy
On startup, right after the login, X (or Gnome?) crashes and I see the login screen again.
After I disable compiz, I am able to use Gnome desktop.
When I start compiz via fusion-icon, it crashes everything again.
Has anyone seen this?
Any clues?
==== Update =====
I solved this by re-installing the same nvidia driver I had. During install it detected that the original installation "has been altered".
Last edited by softtower (2011-02-16 22:09:49)

That's a scary thought: what if I'm the only one with this problem... :-)
Let me answer your questions guys (and thank you for replying).
First of all, I don't have anything monitor-related in my xorg.conf.d directory. Here is what I have there:
t510 ~: ll /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
total 20K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1K Aug 24 06:45 10-evdev.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 377 Jun 21 2010 10-quirks.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 443 Nov 13 10:36 10-synaptics.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 267 Nov 19 03:48 10-synaptics.conf.pacnew
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107 Sep 2 19:39 20-nouveau.conf
Second, I do pacman updates maybe once a month. So I had 600+ MB of downloads and something like a hundred packages, including xorg itself. However, I do know that the kernel and nvidia's proprietary driver are both latest and haven't changed.
If I delete xorg.conf, arch will try to look for noveau open-source driver and will fail because I do not have it installed: it doesn't manage power well to be used on a laptop.
Looking into Xorg.log I see this:
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If

[ 102.582] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU NVS 3100M (GT218) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
I will try to reinstall the same nvidia driver I have to see what happens.

[SOLVED] GNOME crashes (probably after full update)

Hi all,
Today I did a full update with "pacman -Syu" and thus, some new packages were updated. However, after the update and reboot (by myself, not requested by the system as I saw that the kernel is updated - to 2.6.32.19 - as well) then GNOME crashes everytime I do "startx" (I don't use any login manager like GDM or SLiM), neither "xinit" nor "xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session" works too.
The problem is that I still see the mouse cursor and sometimes, the wallpaper as well, then GNOME crashed and I was returned to the command line with lots of messages about gnome-panel disconnected from the bus, several messages about gnome-session and /usr/lib/libdevkit, /usr/lib/libdbus, gnome-screensaver etc.
Sorry for didn't provide enough details, but the laptop with Arch64 on it isn't here with me at the moment so I just recall and describe the errors here.
Please give me your advice about this case
Thank you
EDIT: Fyi, I checked the wiki about GNOME here, but I couldn't find any "session" in ~/.gnome2/ in order to "mv ~/.gnome2/session ~/.gnome2/session.old" to refresh the session.
I also did "for d in .gnome* .gconf*; do mv "$d" "$d.old"; done" already, but problem still persists

Thanks wonder, another "pacman -Syu" showed that it updated dbus to 1.2.24 and after a reboot, GNOME is up and running again
Cheers

IMovie crashes soon after loading

I'm new here, and I'm kinda new with iMovie. I've been working on a 7 minute project with some friends, doing some voiceovers and adding in audio tracks. As we added in audio tracks it seemed to be getting a bit slower and less responsive, but it was manageable. After adding the most recent track in, it crashed. Now it crashes every time I open iMovie and click on said project.
I've looked around the forum and the closest issues I've found are crashes upon loading, although they seem to crash before they can even select a project, whereas mine works fine except on the specific project. I've tried a couple things...repaired my permissions, deleted the pList file for iMovie, and reinstalled iMovie, and I'm getting the same issue. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I appreciate any help, the sooner the better!
Thanks,
Jim

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there.

After Installing Leopard Finder Crashes directly after Login

Hi,
i Installed Leopard on my MacBook Core 2 Dual. After install the Macbook worked fine for a while (ca. 30 Minutes) then it crashed and asked me to reboot by pressing the power on key a while. But after restart and login it crashes again, and again, and again.
So i tried booting in save mode ... (pressing shift while boot) ... now i can login, but what now?
I started to look around in the system and step by step deinstall every app that may interfere with leopard. But no success up to now. Each time i boot normally it crashes again.
Does anybody else had the same problem ?
And maybe found what's causing this problem.
Thanks in advance.

OK, its coming up now ...
deinstalled:
VMWare Fusion
NDAS Driver
Little Snitch 2.0 beta 10
3D Desktop Aquarium ScreenSaver
collection of plasq Screensavers
ToasterClone Screensaver
Parallels Extensions from StartupItems Folder

Dock crashes continuously after login

Hello,
I've been trying to fix this Mac (MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.5) and it has me completely flummoxed.
A few seconds after logging into the user account, the screen begins periodically flashing gray, then jumps back to the desktop, where the Dock is gone but then reloads. There are multiple crash reports in the system for the Dock crashing, so I'm assuming it is the problem.
I've found some similar problems that people have had, but they've been able to fix it by creating a new user account. I tried that, but the new user had the same problem. I'm thinking it probably needs the OS to be reloaded, but I don't have any disks to accomplish that.
Any ideas? Thanks!

This could be a sign of hardware problems.
Restart in Safe Boot mode and see if the problem goes away.
* shutdown
* start the Mac and *wait* for the startup chime to sound
* after the sound, press and hold down the shift key
* keep holding and *wait* until the grey  Apple logo appears
* now release the shift key and just wait (it could take a few minutes)
* eventually the login screen appears with the words SAFE BOOT
* continue to login to see if the problem goes away.
If the problem exists in Safe Boot mode, the boot into the Recovery Drive and select to Reinstall OS X. This should download the 10.7.5 installer and refresh your install.
Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
If you still have problems, you need to take your computer in for a diagnosis.

[SOLVED] libreoffice "loading document after login takes 30+ sec"

I have an arch install running xfce and lxdm as my login manager I have installed libreoffice per wiki instructions and configured memory optimizations as follows:
Under Memory:
- Reduced the number of Undo steps 20 steps.
- Under Graphics cache, I set Use for LibreOffice to 128 MB.
- I Set Memory per object to 20MB.
- I Checked LibreOffice Quickstarter.
However, It still takes about 45 seconds to load any document, spreadsheet, or presentation after logging in. However when I load a second or third... document, spreadsheet, or presentation they load near instantly. Furthermore, if I open a terminal and type "libreoffice --writer /path/to/doc," I receive no errors or any verbose message. Has anyone encountered this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I have solved libreoffice's unacceptable behavior on my machine by:
appending "/etc/hosts" with the following:
127.0.0.1 $HOSTNAME localhost $HOSTNAME.(none)
with $HOSTNAME actually spelled out
ex "127.0.0.1 archden localhost archden.(none)"
With this miracle cure your libreoffice installation will fall within an acceptable standard of behavior.
PS. praying libreoffice is far more glorious in this respect.
