[Solved] Syslinux boots but not loads completely

Since my last update, 2 weeks ago, syslinux in my root partition doesn't completely loads. I've tried to mount the root partition and reinstall and edit again the syslinux but it didn't work. I don't know what to else to do to repair it.

Please provide much more detail.
How far does it get in booting?  Do you see the syslinux menu, or does it not get that far?  Are there any error messages or output?  If so, post them.
What do you mean you've mounted the root partition and editted "the syslinux"?  I assume you booted a live medium to do maintainance, but what did you reinstall (`pacman -S syslinux`, or `syslinux-install_update -i -a -m`?)  Did you also mount your boot partition when you were doing this maintainance?
Also, if you can check your logs to see what you updated two weeks ago, that may help.  But if you only update every few weeks, it will likely be just about everything updated.

  • High-traffic websites do not load completely

    Websites such as facebook, wikipedia and others do not load completely. They load most of the website and hang, leaving a perpetually-rotating green "loading" icon at the top of the tab. It will usually leave out a couple images after having loaded the text. I've adjusted the firefox settings so that it doesn't block pictures coming from outside sources, but it hasn't fully remedied the situation. The other issue is that it doesn't happen every time. I'll be browsing on facebook or wikipedia and every third link I click (thereabouts) the website hangs without fully loading. I've already adjusted firefox so that it no longer automatically uses any proxies, but while that seemed to reduce the frequency with which this problem presented itself, it still happens 1/3 of the time rather than 3/4 of the time.
    A parallel problem (while I'm unsure as to whether or not it is related) is that youtube will load the whole page but the video. This also does not happen every time, but it will register as having completed loading the page (there is no green circle icon at the top of the tab), but no video will appear and no light grey buffer bar will load at the bottom of the video screen. I don't have any flash blockers or anything of the sort.
    I've scanned my computer repeatedly for malware using malwarebytes and avast with very little in the way of results (usually nothing or one or two files of malware, no trojans or viruses).
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps in case some security software is causing problems.

  • Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file  "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

    Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit.  Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
    "Error reading/writing file
    “com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
    Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
    The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
    "The Preferences are not loaded completely.
    Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
    Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
    "The Preferences are not loaded completely.
    Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
    There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
    I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
    I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem.  If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done?  I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created.  I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done.  Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything?  I'm using Logic Pro 8.
    Thank you

    You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
    Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Pages not loading completely or at all.

    This is a problem I've been having for weeks and weeks. Pages in Safari (or in IE or in Firefox) will not load completely or at all. For example, the apple.com homepage does not load at all and neither does ebay. However, the amazon homepage will load almost completely, but a few of the images don't appear.
    I've tried numerous ideas.
    I've run through the power cycle. (Turning my router and cable modem off, and then restarting them.)
    I've run network diagnotics.
    I've reset Safari.
    I've typed in IP addresses manually.
    We bought a new router.
    It even got down to me having to reinstall the operating system. (The computer is fairly new, so there wasn't any important information on it.)
    I tried calling my ISP, but they don't know what's wrong.
    Apple won't speak to me because my 90 days is up, and my parents won't pay $160 for the care plan.
    I'm becoming desperate at this point. I love my new iMac, but there isn't much I can do without the web.
    Oh, I also can't download updates, access the iTunes music store, or anything else that requires internet acces.
    We have three windows computers in the house that are all running fine on the WLAN.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Any other ideas?
    Hmm, can you try logging into another user account to see if the problem is present there as well? This will confirm where the root issue is - your user area or system wide. It sounds like it wil be system wide but best to double check.
    If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed).
    I've typed in IP addresses manually.
    Can you expand on what you mean by that? Are you referring to the DNS addresses or typing the IP address in the browsers address entry box?

  • Pages not loading completely

    I am seeing intermittent issues with web pages not loading completely, or taking a long time to load. Some times embedded images will not load. The page will often load, but the page loading icon in chrome will carry on spinning. 
    This is happening periodically and at various times of the day, but has been going on for a couple of weeks. The rest of the time, my broadband speeds are fine and very snappy, as normal. 
    I've restarted my router (homehub 3) several times.
    This doesn't seem to be a general speed problem.
    Using speedtest.net, i can see that my download speed is pretty consistent at just under 20mbps. 
    Using pingtest.net i see no packet loss, with good ping times.  
    Using the BT speedtest tool, my line speed to the house is around 23mbps, and my download speed is again around 20mbps.
    This is effecting all devices attached to the router, both wired and wifi... both windows PC/laptops and ipad/iphone devices. 
    I am not sure where to look next, and am kind of dreading a conversation with BT helpdesk. 
    Any ideas? 

    Thanks... That's a long thread, and I am not going to pretend to understand all of it. 
    It seems to be similar issue, but I am seeing this any webiste, including this one, not just on a handful of specific sites. 
    If I understand the thread above correctly, that issue is with BT, and was apparantly fixed, although the most recent post suggests it has not been. And that if this is the same problem, I can't do anything to fix this myself, other than raise this BT?
    Having played around a little more, I think I can see that this problem becomes more accute when i am jumping rapidly from one webpage to another in quick succession, until i get to the point where pages are just not loading anymore. 

  • Mafia Wars can not load completely because you are missing a plugin, pop up is too small to see the missing pluging, how do I find out what it is?

    Yesterday, while playing Mafia Wars, I kept getting a bar notification that "The game can not load completely because you are missing a plugin? When I clicked on the box I got an 1/2" popup, which probably contains the information I need but it is too small to find out what it is. You can not maximize it. The is nothing visible to click on. Flash and Java are all up to date, as well as all other plugins. No plugins are disabled. How can I find what I am missing?

    Try a program such as Disk Inventory X or OmniDiskSweeper.

  • WRT54G v5 admin screen does not load completely

    I have a WRT54G v5 and when I go to the admin screen (http) it does not load completly.  It was working the other day.  I was in the process of downloading a newer version of the firmware, I am using 1.0.6 and was looking at the 1.0.9.  I have it on the computer but have not applied it to the router yet.
    I am using IE7 and was able to view the page previously with IE7 but am not able to now.  I have rebooted the router (cold start).  No difference.  I can still get to the internet and the wireless is working also, I just cannot make any changes to the router.
    I need help, if someone is willing.
    Thanks

  • Windows 7 and updated firefox window do not load completely . the banner may load or it times out. If I leave it sit for a while it may finish loading. New computer.. cannot figure it out.

    I have a new computer with windows 7. I downloaded the mozilla and the update.. now my pages do NOT load completely. the page banner but not the content. or it takes a really long time. When it will not load it say the try again.. and i reload a number of times to get it to load... HELP ME!!
    I will include an example below... in the URL blank.
    This includes Yahoo and Google...
    occasionally it says ...
    The connection was reset
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.

  • YahooMail in FireFox Only is not loading completely. Icons, Flags, Scrollbars etc not showing up

    This does not happen in IE, only FireFox. When Yahoo Mail loads it does not "Load" completely. Icons, Flags, Scrollbars, direction arrows, etc. do NOT load. The functions still exist and work, but if I didn't already know where some of them are located it would be impossible to use them because the "visual icons" do not show up.

  • IWeb booting but not opening

    I have successfully moved my Monmouth Boat Club (monmouthboatclub.org) site to an FTP server and it has its ups and downs but generally OK. I am aware of the quirkiness of opening iWeb domain in Lion as opposed to Snow Leopard. And, above all, I back up the domain multiple places. My latest and most annoyng problem is that on my iMac (running 10.6.8), at times the domain will BOOT but not OPEN..... iWeb open innavigation but I can't get the page up. It might open the fourth time I try...or an hour or a day later. In a pinch, I go back to one of my laptops (running Lion) and open it and make changes. However, Ineed the domain to both boot and open every time on my iMac/Snow Leopard machine.Is anyone having a similar problem and can you give me some advice....
    Art

    Yes.  Lion has messed up the iWeb preference file.  There is an easy solution for that:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
