[SOLVED] Steam not working or installing well and AMD drivers issues

Well, I figured this was the place to post.
I just installed Arch in my main box. Since I tried to install steam from the repos using pacman but i got the 'package not found'.
So I downloaded from the mirror in the official arch repos.
Then i was going to run steam (that's in /usr/bin/steam) and the script couldnt find a file that was just next door. Thing was, the script couldnt find a file next door cause it will try to find it from / . I added /home/[myuser] .
I changed the code sightly to my directory so it will find the .xz file.
Then, the client apparently installed (since it created a .steam dir) but it did not appear on the screen. I tried running it from .steam, but i get absolutely nothing.
Also, looking at the script, the installation should have created a desktop icon and, it did not. So its possible that the installation itself is not working.
Since I make this thread (and since i have your attention) , I want to post another problem that may be, maybe lagging my XFCE interface.
Its the AMD drivers for my 6950 cards. I saw that the drivers ran with good performance on one of the games I like, so I tried to install them.
Weirdly, they didnt (couldnt run a module at the ending) ... it thre an error saying that there were problems with the installation. I wasnt running X, and no drivers were previously installed.. but I booted into X and it worked, and also I can see the signature saying 'Testing use Only' from AMD at the bottom.

And this sounds like you don't know how to install Arch packages.

Um. Where did you get that driver? Because this thing is so old, AMD does not do the watermark thing anymore.
I did pacman -Sy , why it still cant find it?
Got the driver from the page, its a beta driver.. You sure? Im triying to reinstall but i still get an error.
Please, enlighten me.

Macbook 2009 Not working properly [Error -50 and other several issues]

Hello there!
I am having several issues with my Macbook, they all showed unexpectedly. Most applications would not work, such as Disk Utility or Pages. Safari couldn't load any webpage, just after a long time it was able to display them. Also, I was having some kind of error -50 when trying to move or delete any file, and iTunes was showing the following message; "iTunes can't verify the identity of the server "ax.itunes.apple.com". The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "ax.itunes.apple.com". I couldn't turn off the computer either, when I tried to doing so it wouldn't do anything, I had to press the power button to turn it off. After that, I turned the computer on, everything showed up as normal but after a few seconds later the computer suddenly turned off, I tried again but I got the same result. Afterwards, I tried in recovery mode, and weirdly, it didn't show any problem. I ran disk utility and verified the hard drive but it says it's working perfectly. The SMART status also says the hard drive is fine.
What could this mean? All these problems appeard suddenly, I've never had any of those issues before.
I have a late 2009 Macbook with Mavericks Installed,
4GB of RAM,
A 320GB Seagate Hard drive,
And a 250MB Graphics Card.
Thanks for your help!

Hello there!
Thanks for your reply! I have no anti-virus software installed, but I have (rather said, had) CleanMyMac though. I installed the demo version and ran it only once. I was curious about it, I had no idea it could make as much damage as MacKeeper.
Also, I scaned again my internal Hard Drive with Disk Utility using the OS X Installation DVD, and according to the report, the partition where the operative system is located is corrupted. Disk Utility tried to repair it but failed, and the most reliable option was to reformat the disk. I proceeded to reformatting it but unfortunately the process was not succesful - I got an error that reads; "POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory". I tried to reformat the disk using the terminal, but I was only able to erase it, not to format it. I did a research and I found out the problem might be the SATA cable, (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3507546).
Could that explain also the weird behaviour when I was using the computer? I guess my best bet now is to get a new SATA cable.

[SOLVED] ccsm not working after installing Unity from repo.

Hi, I've been having this problem for a while now, I've been trying to fix it on my own for the last couple of weeks but I wasn't able to help my self searching on internet.
As stated on the title, I've installed Unity for arch from the repository following the guide on the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unity.
Since then I haven't been able to open the Compiz Config Settings Manager. I think that the problem may be that the ccsm I've got is the one for compiz 0.8.x
not the 0.9.9 I've got after installing the package "compiz-ubuntu" for unity to work.
This is the output I get when trying to run the command ccsm:
[augusto@localhost ~]$ ccsm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 126, in <module>
context = compizconfig.Context(screens)
File "compizconfig.pyx", line 1120, in compizconfig.Context.__cinit__
TypeError: an integer is required
I hope I can fix this soon with your help
Thank you very much for taking your time to read.

Okay, updating right now, this feels quite fine!!! Hope it works.
Thank you very much man, you where the only one who tried to help me!
edit: Just checked the wiki, I might have missed it the time I installed unity, or they added it after I installed it, I thought xe xe was the only repo.
Still No luck
this is the output of running ccsm on console

Any ideas?

[SOLVED] Steam not working on arch

I'm on a (relatively) fresh install of arch. I've just spent all day today configuring my various applications. However, when I install steam through pacman and try to run it, it says
Setting up Steam content in /home/seth/.local/share/Steam
and then just hangs. If I ever get fed up of it hanging here and try to restart, it won't say that and instead I'll just get a blinking cursor. I also noticed my cpu gets hotter while this operation is running, but nothing seems to be happening.
I have a asus ux32vd. Optifine/primusrun works fine for any other application.
I have no idea where to look for errors.
UPDATE:
if I delete the section of /usr/bin/steam that disallows root to run steam, and then run it as root - it works.

If I run
zenity --width 650 --height 500 --text-info --title="hello" --checkbox="yes"
it hangs
if I run
zenity --question --text "test"
it hangs
if I run
sudo zentiy --question --text "test"
it displays properly
Finally, if I install YAD from the AUR and run
yad --question --text "test"
it displays properly

[Solved] slim not working after installing nvidia 331.20

Hello Arch Community!
I recently joined your ranks and already have some problems with the graphics driver from Nvidia.
my system has been running perfectly for a week now and until today i used the nouveau drivers, but im not very happy with the performance, so i deinstalled them and installed nvidia + nvidia-utils.
no problems so far, in configured everything to my liking with nvidia-settings.
problem: after reboot slim does not start anymore, i just get to tty1. funny thing is i can either use startx and my cinnamon will fire up or i can just use "sudo slim" and slim will start normally.
i already tried
sudo systemctl disable slim
and
sudo systemctl enable slim
to see if its still starting at boot and it does, so im quite confused here.

thank you very much, i didnt know i can add modules=nvidia in mkinitcpio.conf too. i always thought this was for opensource drivers only
anyway that fixed my problem. in a way. can i instruct slim to show the login prompt on only one monitor? because now the login field is "between" the two monitors. in other words slim uses both monitors like they are one big screen.
it looks like this now: http://abload.de/img/img_20131125_1801054ii4l.jpg
solved it by editing /usr/share/slim/themes/mytheme/slim.theme the line:
input_panel_x 50%
to
input_panel_x 25%

I want to create a document/spreadsheet (whichever) that I can send to agencies to type in information for work projects. Any ideas? I have an Excel file but it does not convert over very well and I am having trouble making changes to it.

Need to create a new spreadsheet or be able to edit the one I have.
I use this spreadsheet as a work order form for social service agencies. They enter name address etc., and then there are various work projects that they can select as well.
The one I have from the organization I work with is an excel file but it does not convert over very well. Instead of being 7 pages it is more like 11 or so because things run off the page. I am trying to delete certain things and move them over but not working out very well so thought it might be easier to start over fresh.
Is numbers the program to use? If so, any useful tips?

If the form is going to be used on an iPad, Numbers is the only game in town.
Numbers is available for Macs only (and iOS devices). Excel is available for PCs and Macs. If you are in a mixed environment of Windows PCs and Macs and you are using this document as an electronic form, Excel is probably the better choice. Otherwise you will need to export to Excel for the PC users then import from Excel to retrieve their data. The import/export process is not perfect. A file that has been exported then reimported will not be the same as the original file. I would assume social services agencies are almost entirely PC-based.
If the form is to be printed or turned into a PDF for distribution and use by the social services agencies, either Excel or Numbers would do the job but right now Excel might be the better choice. I would have recommended Numbers '09 but I cannot recommend Numbers 3 for anything thsat requires printing until they give us the layout and printing functionality we used to have (editing in Print View, ability to set margins, etc).
If everything else in your department/operation/agency is Windows PC and Microsoft Office based, you would be better off sticking with the standard.
I hope that helps.

Internet not working after installing "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" driver

My Internet is not working after installing "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" driver although "Ethernet" and "wireless" say they're connected, still there is no internet.
I have bought a "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" as I need to use 2 thunderbolt based pieces of equipment on my "MacBook Pro"; which are a 2nd monitor as well as a Thunderbolt driven Audio Interface.
When I first plugged all my equipment to the "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station" everything was working fine, all pieces of equipment worked as well as Ethernet from both the computer and the docking station were working perfectly.
However, when I inserted the "StarTech Thunderbolt Docking Station driver CD" and installed the drivers, the internet on my computer has stopped working. Although the Ethernet says it is "connected" (same goes for "Thunderbolt Ethernet" when cable is connected to it) still the internet does not work. Even my wireless internet is not working anymore. Furthermore, also after installing the Docking Station drivers, my iTunes is crashing whenever started.
Please help, this is really urgent.
I've been looking for answers all around but can't seem to find any.
I'm using OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
I've tried fixing stuff with Network preferences, like changing IP address, renewing DHCP leace.
I also tried typing IP address, Subnet Mask, Router and DNS Sever manually... Nothing seems to be working.
Note: I know someone could suggest to "uninstall" the Thunderbolt Station driver, however, I can't find an "uninstallation file", even the CD that came with the docking station does not have it.

I had exactly the same problem today, and I was lucky enough to solve it.
Here's what helped me:
First, I found a hint to Suspicious Package in this thread.
With Suspicious Package installed, I was able to identify the script in StarTech's installer pkg. It' called "postflight".
Amongst other things, postflight runs this command:
sudo mv usr/share/sandbox/mDNSResponder.sb usr/share/sandbox/_mDNSResponder.sb
A quick check in Apple's knowledge base revealed, that the mDNSResponder is essential to use DNS (i.e. to resolve server names like www.apple.com) and bonjour.
I moved th mDNSResponder back to where it belongs:
sudo mv usr/share/sandbox/_mDNSResponder.sb usr/share/sandbox/mDNSResponder.sb
After a reboot, everything worked fine again.
I have no idea, why StarTeck disables an essential tool. Let's assume it's an error ...
But after this experience, I didn't want the StarTech ethernet driver on my machine (I had installed it just for curiosity, anyway - yes, I know, I shouldn't have ...), so I removed the kext the installer had copied to my system:
sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8 2580.kext /Users/myusername
(You see I didn't delete the kext directly, I just moved it away and tried another reboot. Now everything works fine, so I'm going to delete the kext entirely and paint a big red cross on StarTech's installer disk.
Hope this helps.

My sound system does not work AFTER installing pc to tv wireless connection

Hi,
You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
VS General Question forum mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System and Visual Studio Editor.

ValentinT, welcome to the forum.
There are no drivers available for Windows 8. I suggest checking in the Control Panel/Sound/Recording to assure that your microphone is selected. It seems that the Sound is one area that gets changed when updating to Win 8.1. At least, this is what happened to me.
