[SOLVED] Strange highlighting issue in chrome menus after updates

The issue appears when clicking on a menu item from the top of chrome, and if there is a list then the blue highlighting of each item as the cursor moves down only highlights every second item instead of every item as normal.
I have had this happen in the past but was unsure which package was the culprit. I don't know from the above list which package update may have been responsible, but since the same effect has been seen on 4 different machines I presume it is likely kdebase-workspace? This is with KDE as the desktop environment, and with all packages up to date. Has anyone else seen this issue and if so is there a workaround or is it a known bug. It is an odd one to google for but presumably I am not the only one who has seen this issue. The version of chrome is chrome stable google-chrome 36.0.1985.125-1
Thanks.

I have no idea what the root cause is but if you turn off compositing (Alt+Shift+F12), it'll stop. You can use the Window Rules KCM to make a rule that'll automatically stop/start compositing when Chromium is started. Sadly, this is a poor workaround as you lose all the niceties that compositing brings You can also change KWin's render mode from OpenGL to Raster but that's too intrusive for me - I'd rather just disable compositing as a whole. I'm using a laptop with an HD4000 set to use the default SNA acceleration.

[solved] Strange Audio Issue

I am experiencing a strange audio issue with my Intel-HDA ICH7:
# lspci -v
00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30a5
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
Memory at d2400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access>
when I installed Arch linux the first time a mounth ago on this computer, I had a sound problem that was solved in a very strange way.
Everything worked fine until a week or so (I believe from Alsa 1.0.12). Now sometimes sound works and sometimes it doesn't. For example sometime I boot the computer and have no sound, then I reboot it without doing anything, and then sound works.
I have tried messing with the modprobe.conf:
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.11 ---
#alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
#alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
#options snd-hda-intel model=F1734
options snd-hda-intel model=z71v
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1
but it was useless. If I put back the modules in rc.conf everything is worse: sound doesn't work at all.
A diff between lsmod in a "working boot" and a "without sound boot" showed that the same modules where in kernel memory.
A diff between dmesg showed this difference:
< hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode...
was present in the not working boot. This line is absent in a working boot dmesg.
The only way to make the sound card working everytime is to remove the snd* modules load from the boot sequence and load the modules "by hand" after the login.
Any ideas?
PS : If something is unclear due to my poor English please tell my and I'll try to explain it better.

phrakture wrote:snd-hda-intel is screwed up - on my thinkpad I had to go into the bios and enable the modem for sound to work. Oddly enough, the modem was off by default.
Also, mine has no PCM listed, I need to use "front" as my PCM level... not to mention the UI is way off with 'tpb' (if you have a thinkpad)
Yes it's not an Arch Linux related problem: I had problems with Debian (Etch and Sid based distros like ubuntu) too (but there I had no modprobe issue on the init sequence. Maybe is a problem of shared IRQs, but I have to study the existing documentation as I am a newbie). The difference is that Arch is simple enought for me to try something like modprobing "by hand" in the init sequence. PCM seems to work, however the volume is very low and I have found no way to make the mic work. Under Mepis I was able to make it work only if I plugged it in windows xp and then reboot into Linux. But I can't try it with Arch as I have erased the windows partition...
I will try the new kernel, study the documentation and then report. Hoping this will be usefull to others too.

Anyone having wifi issues on the 3gs after updating to 6.1.3?

Recently got rid of an iphone 4 that was having wifi issues after updating to 6.1.3 but wanted to know if any 3gs users are having issues with wif after installing the same update? Currently on 4.3.3

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

[SOLVED] vi (vim) no longer works properly after updating the system

After updating the system with pacman -Syu vi stopped working. All syntax colors are gone, and everything is grey. When I press i to enter "insert" mode, editing is not visible. Changes are obscure and you can't tell what you are modifying. Quitting with :q will still prompt you to use :q! to abort changes, even if no changes were visibly made.
When scrolling to the beginning or end of a file, the screen flashes with grey glitch like areas. What happened to my vi!?!?!?!?!?
This all happened while following the beginner's guide to install arch linux. I realized this when trying to arbitrarily read a test file I made directly after updating.
The problems continued to be visible when installing and setting up sudo (those steps are the next steps that require vi)... I think the sudo installation worked... but my vi is horribly glitchy
Any ideas?

Setting EDITOR does not help in every case. For instance, visudo is by default hard linked to vi. (You can change this, I know. )
But in fact, vi is only a symlink to ex. So I simply renamed this link and put another symlink to vim (vim-big in my case since I in fact do use the gvim package).
/usr/bin/vi -> vim-big
/usr/bin/vi-simple -> ex
The drawback is that I have to set those links on every vi-update. (But I sure will remember...)

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.2 - Applications Menu empty after update

After updating all my boxes from 3.0 to 3.2, one of them got the Applications Menu wiped. The .desktop files are all there but none show up in the Menu, it's just empty.
Apart from that everything seems to work just fine, did anyone came across a similiar problem or knows a solution ? I tried to google how to regenerate the Menu but failed to find anything useful and/or gnome3 related.

Issues with game center after updating Ipod! Please help

After updating my daughters Ipod touch it wouldn't let us login to her game center account. Is there a way to look up her apple id for game center just by her game center name and nickname? When we login with her email address she had to create a new nickname and everything however we have previous emails from friend requests. Can anyone help us? I don't know what else to do she doesn't want to loose all the games that she has been playing for months. It's weird how it says her email is a new apple id when that is what she used before to create her game center account. All help appreciated. Thanks.

Try holding down the sleep/wake and home button until iPhone shuts off. Then hold down the home button while plugging into your computer. Your iphone is now in recovery mode. iTunes will detect this, and you can attempt to restore/update from there.
Best of luck.

[SOLVED] Strange character issue...

I'm using Openbox, and sometimes (often) the text will mess up and start showing random characters in place of the characters that's supposed to be there. I kill X and start it up again, and it's fixed until it happens again. It usually happens after doing some package management and other system-related things, but a couple of times it's done it during a session where I didn't do any of those things. This only happens in X/Openbox.
I figured it was a locale problem, so I checked all of my locale settings multiple times and everything appears correct. Then I figured it was maybe a key mapping problem, so I checked that KEYMAP was set to us, and it is.
I have en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 enabled, and en_US.UTF-8 is my default...I use Terminus as my font for everything. Any help with this is appreciated since I've spent two days trying to figure it out already and I just want to move on.
Here's an example...Sometimes there'll be huge characters and Japanese kanji thrown in there.

No. Xorg 1.13.04 does not work well with nvidia drivers.
This problem is dealt with in several topics:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153138
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152899
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152837
Only "solution" so far: Downgrading xorg.
1.13.03 might be enough according to user corion's post).
Alright...Thanks for the info. I guess I was completely wrong in how I was thinking of the problem. So, am I able to just downgrade the xorg-server package to solve the issue, or am I going to have to downgrade other related packages such as xorg-server-common?

[Solved]Strange piping issue..

Sometimes when I try piping commands, I simply get a "command not found" even though the commands are correct for sure.
The commands will work when I remove the space after the pipe... It's really annoying and it has happened to me on different distributions, so it's not just Arch. I managed to get a fantastic example just now and this time I thought to myself "This time, I'll HAVE to figure this out!!!"
So, see this example below. I even got an error message, which I think hasn't happened before.
~$ man bash | wc -l
4892
~$ man mplayer | wc -l
bash: wc: command not found
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 11i"; /bin/cat '/usr/share/man/man1/mplayer.1') | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc -c | /bin/less -is) exited with status 36096.
No manual entry for mplayer
~$ man mplayer |wc -l
8086
So, what's this? It isn't a simple one-time issue, if I try to repeat the command it fails every time but when I remove the space it works. I don't know if the error message is related to this issue though, because this is the first time it has shown itself, even though I've stumbled across this issue many times.

[Solved] Strange sound issue

I finally got around to trying out Arch, and I'm having a strange issue with sound. When I try to play videos off the Internet as my normal (non-root) user, the video plays, but no sound comes out of the speakers. If I log in as root and try to play the same video, the sound works perfectly. I have not experienced this on any other distros.
Since I am a strict follower of the "don't run as root" rule, I'd like to know if there are any settings/config files I can check to see what the issue may be.
Additional details:
-Using alsa, it has always worked perfectly for me in the past
-alsamixer works as root
-alsamixer as normal users says:
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
-lspci entry for my sound device:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
-I have already seen the Alsa setup page on the wiki and added the blacklist line to modprobe.conf, but there is no "external amplifier" listed in alsamixer
-alsaconf seems non-existent
-I have already tried "modprobe -rv snd-hda-intel && sleep 5 && modprobe snd-hda-intel" as root
EDIT: I have not yet tried playing any local videos or sound files, though I can try this later when I have some extra time.

I am now ;-)
I've got sound now that I am. I'm used to having the distro installer setting up my default account for me. Although I should know to check the groups, since I have had to setup custom users before ;-)
Thanks, 6ng4n.

[SOLVED] Strange graphical issues in Chromium

I haven't tested this in any other browsers, so I'm not sure what the root cause of the problem is.
Symptom: http://i.imgur.com/88ek7BU.png
It only happens sometimes, but images (and sometimes links etc) are mangled like this ad. For links, it's sometimes possible to mouse over it and fix it (it gets a refresh when it has to draw the underline or something, I guess), but this ad was not fixable (not that I cared about seeing an ad, but the issue as a whole is quite irritating).
Are there plugins which improve image rendering and fix this? Is it a driver issue? What can I do and/or what info do you need from me so that this issue is resolved?
Last edited by 2mac (2014-01-06 15:17:46)

I get things like that too.
What environment are you using? (OpenBox, Kde, i3, Gnome?)
What is your video hardware / Driver. I see these on Intel Graphics.
Are you using a compositor? Which one? I seemed to see this more with xcompmgr than I do with Compton. I seem to see this more with OpenBox and less with i3
Edit: Also, have you messed with any of the rendering flags in Chromium, or are you using the default settings. Do not force hardware rendering. You might also (as an experiment) tell Chrome not to do hardware rendering.

Strange Graphics issue on switching users after awaking from sleep

As the title says... Here's the scenario:
I logon to my MBP, do some work, then put it to sleep.
My girlfriend comes along, and opens up the MBP. My logon details are presented to her, so she presses "Switch User".
When she does this, the MBP goes really funky. Loads of strange colors, some small areas of my logged in desktop appear, then loads of white cubes appear.
See:
http://www.rock-sound.net/stevetemp/stage1.jpg
http://www.rock-sound.net/stevetemp/stage2.jpg
Can anyone else confirm this happens on their MBP ? Otherwise Genius Bar here I come..

This happened on my iMac G5 and had the logic board and display replaced to no avail. Only happened when switching users.
Not happening on my MacBook Pro ... so far....and hope it stays like that.
Someone also said it might be to do with bad capacitors.

[SOLVED] System load on idle is ~.30 after update

After doing an update my system load now hovers around ~.30 when idle. I have a pretty mininal system so this shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Before the update my system load would usually read 0.00 0.01 0.05 when It was idling. Now it seems to jump at random times.
Conditions which seem to produce a higher load are when:
MPD is playing a song, Having it run while stopped does nothing
A program is running that measures the system load such as htop or i3status
Firefox is running. It seems to effect the load more now (but I could be wrong on this one)
Even without X running, if I have htop or top running the system load spikes randomly. If I check it periodically with uptime the load stays at 0.
This is the pacman log from the time I last knew for sure that the load acted normal up until now:

I'm pretty sure things were normal after the 2012-05-12 13:27 (1st) update but I don't know for sure and I didn't want to leave anything out. I also believe the problem started after the 2012-05-12 13:27 (2nd) update but again, I didn't want to leave anything out.
Any ideas?

litemotiv, luuuciano: I agree that the "solution" is not a very good one, but, taking the stated problem and context of where it was posted into consideration I think that "[SOLVED]" is appropriate. My system load no longer idles at a high number (which was the originally stated problem in the subject field) and this subforum is particular to pacman upgrading issues, not to linux kernel issues. But if you really think that I should remove the tag, then I will, because, based on your post counts, you two obviously have more forum experience than I do.

[SOLVED]Gnome 3.6: Icons are missing after updating

I did a (somewhat large) update yesterday which seemed to go fine. Since then, I'm missing a bunch of icons from various parts of Gnome. I'll attach some pictures that show what Nautilus looks like and the desktop top right menus. I use Faience icons usually, but changing it back to Gnome default doesn't help. I also deleted all the hidden Gnome configuration files, but that didn't help either.
This is my pacman log from the upgrade.

Blank Menus After Updates

hey there all,
my good friend has a 1.25GHz G4 Mini, running Tiger. a couple of days ago she did an update to what she thinks were QT 7.4.1, Security 2008-001, Java for OS 10.4 release 6, iTunes 7.x, OS 10.4.11(combo). she doesn't update regularly & she says now all of her drop-down menus are blank & when she mouses over them they become blue. also there's no text appearing when she mouses over icons in the Dock. i talked her through resetting the PRAM & getting to Disc Utility to repair permissions, but she said the dialog box for it was empty/blank.... anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is & how to fix it? there is an Apple Store in town... should it go to the Genius Bar?
thanks for any help in advance.

This sounds suspiciously like a prebinding issue - prebinding is the linking of executable files and their libraries (similar to Prefetch in XP) and if it gets out of date, the system will behave oddly. Prebinding can be disturbed if the system is being used while an update is installed (in Tiger and earlier, when the install dialog reports 'optimizing system' it is in fact rebuilding prebinding), so if it's in use during that stage of the installer, prebinding may not be correctly updated. However it could also be a font problem, since damaged, duplicate or missing fonts can cause MacOS to display incorrectly.
First thing I would do is to download and run an applications called YASU (http://jimmitchell.org/projects/yasu/) set it to all tasks and let it run and reboot the system. The reboot will take longer than normal, but amongst the other routine maintenance tasks it will accomplish, it will update prebinding.
Once rebooted, if the problem persists, Font Book (in Applications) may help identify and resolve conflicting or damaged fonts - assuming when it is run, any text appears in the application's window!
If not, then download and run a copy of Preferential Treatment (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22790) and set it to check both system and user level files. This software is capable of identifying and removing damaged or corrupt property list (.plist) files which case cause curious problems of this sort.
Lastly, a useful troubleshooting tip in these situations is to create a new user account on the system and test using that. If the new account doesn't suffer the problem, it means the issue is caused within the specific user's settings or properties, and the new account can be used to help troubleshoot that (or indeed, to continue use of the system). If the new account suffers the same issue, then it means the problem is caused at the system level.
If these simple steps don't help, then it may be time to enlist the help of the Apple store genius bar, but it is critical that all user data is backed up first, just to be on the safe side!

[SOLVED]Low performance of nvidia 290.40 after updated.

UPDATED
Update to 290.49 and be solved.
ORIGINAL
Updated my system, nvidia was updated to 290.40 from 290.33. After rebooted, GNOME 3 was crashed, and the same to GDM.
I can start KDE, but have to go with unbearable slow, and programs with OpenGL is also very very slow, so now I can only use Openbox and firefox, even Totem does not work now.
Followings are solution I found:
1. I searched the forum and found 2 posts, from which I could find a solution: Downgrade nvidia to 290.33:
i. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139553
ii. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139535
2. Having searched Google, I found another one which eventually proved helpless: Rebuild kernel with kernel config CONFIG_AGP set to y
The problem can be solved by following the solution 1, but I want a better solution.
Need more useful information? Just tell me in the reply.
I hope my english won't puzzle you.
Appreciate very much.
