[SOLVED] xorg / nvidia problems after upgrade

Hello,
I have recently done an upgrade with pacman -Syu and am having problems.
When X starts, it hangs at a blank screen. Keyboard is frozen and I am unable to hit another tty. I can ssh in, but I cannot even seem to kill X, or reboot. I am forced to do a hard reboot.
I have tracked the problem down to running multiple X sessions. I currently have 4 monitors, and have them configured such that I have 2 X sessions, (2 monitiors with twinview on each session). I can get things working on 2 monitors using twinview, but I cannot get X to start properly if I enable the second X session. (I have tried everything and cannot get anything to come up unto a third monitor... I can only get X working on 2..)
This seems like it could be a bug. Although I am not sure if the problem is with X or with the nvidia drivers, as both were updated, however I am thinking it is an issue with X.
I have checked and rechecked my xorg log files, and there are no errors, however, once I did see this error, but it did not happen consistently..
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop
Any suggestions? I would like even be happy with downgrading some packages to get this working again.

Update 2:
Since downgrading xorg-server didn't help, I decided to try installing the latest and greated nvidia drivers. I grabbed them from their website, and uninstalled the nvida package from arch. (Version 190.53.1). The drivers I am currently running are 195.36.15 and all is well.
Instead of installing non-managed packages, why not use nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta from the AUR?

There is already a thread on broken GUI after the libdrm/nouveau upgrade :
see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112758
A bug report was opened in the Flyspay about that (#22700).
Downgrading the packages listed in the thread above solves temporarily the problem.
Please can you precise the Nvidia chipset you use ?
Thanks.

[solved] various X problems after upgrade

I did an upgrade last night and when I restarted this morning I had a couple of problems so thought I'd document them just in case anyone else had them.
First off gdm didn't start. The xorg log complained about this line in my xorg.conf
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
so I edited the file and commented it out.
I then did a startx and everything started ok but both my mouse and keyboard were frozen. All the apps started up ok.
The last line in the xorg log file was this so I did some googling but didn't find much
config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))
After some other random searches I found someone else complaining of the same problem, their fix was to add this to the xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
I added those lines, started X and it now works fine. I still have the config error at the end of the xorg log so I guess that is something else unrelated.
Hope this helps anyone else in the same situation.

I've got evdev installed and I know it is working because my keyboard mappings are now all bust! It seemed to be working until after 7 hours of use and in the middle of an important voip call with a client the same lockup happened again. No alt-tab, no change window focus etc.
How can I use xorg 1.5 without evdev? I've tried with the work around line in and it still locks up.

[SOLVED] SIS Driver Problem after Upgrade

I have an old custom-built desktop machine based on an ASRock motherboard using an SIS 741GX chipset and integrated Mirage graphics.
I have the xf86-video-sis driver installed, and all worked well until a recent update. The xorg-server now fails with a segmentation fault. I understand this is due to incompatibility with the video driver and version 1.13 of xorg-server.
I would be grateful for some advice on the best way to proceed. Should I downgrade xorg, or is there a better strategy?
Many thanks in advance.

Now that's what I call service!!!!
The new version of xf86-video-sis (just appeared on the extra repo this afternoon) fixes the problem.
An enormous thank-you to JGC and the other devs.

[SOLVED] odd audio problem after upgrade w/ VIA VT82xx

Everything was working splendidly until I did pacman -Syu the other day.
Now, sound plays VERY faintly (so much so that you can barely hear it on full volume), and there's audible (but faint) static in the background. It's ALL sound -- doesn't matter what program I use or whether it goes through ALSA, OSS, or Pulse. The weird part is that the static gets stronger when my machine does work: if I shut down, for example, the static seems to go along with the disk write noise. Also, you'd think it'd either work or not work instead of halfway working.
Volumes are all set properly. I ran alsaconf to no avail. I get no errors in dmesg, or when I run a program to play audio.
I'm assuming the culprit is the 2.6.30 kernel upgrade, but I'm not entirely sure, as like I said, I upgraded all packages.
Here's some relevant info:

Sound is back... Thanks!
Now that it is working.. what is DXS? I cannot find anything useful about it, yet.
EDIT: found it
linux-2.6.git / Documentation / sound / alsa / ALSA-Configuration.txt
1787    dxs_support - support DXS channels,
1788    0 = auto (default), 1 = enable, 2 = disable,
1789    3 = 48k only, 4 = no VRA, 5 = enable any sample
1790    rate and different sample rates on different
1791    channels
1792    [VIA8233/C, 8235, 8237 only]
1804    Note: VIA8233/5/7 (not VIA8233A) can support DXS (direct sound)
1805    channels as the first PCM. On these channels, up to 4
1806    streams can be played at the same time, and the controller
1807    can perform sample rate conversion with separate rates for
1808    each channel.

The issue occurred after upgrading from xf86-video-intel-v2.99.912-1 to v2.99.914+ and xorg-server-1.15.2-1 to 1.16.0-6 (and -devel).
same issue if:
- Switching accelaration method to "UXA" as per https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40860
- Adding Option "DRI" "False"
Digged a bit:
- same modules errors but appears to be a Gnome bug (X starts): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441716
- same modules errors but X starts up without problems http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175511372/
makes me doubt if this issue is related to the modules not found. Which is the single indication I found so far x-/
Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old. Never had Xorg related issue so far on this pancake.

Problems after upgrade: Leopard to Leopard no longer works

My sister upgraded to Leopard on her iMac(c2d) to Leopard yesterday. Earlier in the day we were able to do video chats with a number of people(her machine Tiger to Fathers machine Leopard). However, since upgrading, we've experienced weird behavior for video chats. Basically in her window she won't see her image(the small one), and I don't see her at all. We've tested this out with a number of other iChat accounts and get the same results. Btw, all machines that are chatting with her are using Leopard. Also, all other forms/capabilities work: screen sharing, sharing of pictures, audio chats.
Anyone out there have similar problems after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard? I have done the usual adjustments of bandwidth and QT settings, as well as restarts. What else should I try?
tia,
n

I finally resolved this problem: I think the issues/steps would be helpful for anyone who experiences iSight off or not working problems after upgrading to Leopard(then to 10.5.1) on a intel 20" iMac :
Problem:
-If you have an internal iSight on an iMac and your camera works fine in Tiger
-If you upgrade to Leopard
-If Chat camera doesn't show your image (iSight off) even though the green light is on
-You can see the other persons video on iChat
-Your friends can here you and you can share screens, files, etc.....everything but have them see you
These are the initial steps I took:
- Deleted the pLists(or stored preferences for the Application) described at the top of this thread
- Was told it might be slow internet connection so did various things: disconnected other computers, changed wireless to "G" only
- Specifically Opened of ports spec'd for Leopard on router (even though I hadn't needed to do this under Tiger)
- Tried chats with various people on various fast/slow networks
- Restarted all aspects of the network: router, wireless access point, computer
- Checked to see if the iSight was shown in 'System Profiler'. It was found in 'About This Mac->More Info->System Profiler->USB'
- Clicked Video icon in iChat Buddies window(to the right of your name) and coudn't see my image
- Opened 'PhotoBooth' and coudn't see my image(black screen)
- Opened iMovie and couldn't capture video via the iSight(black screen)
- Opened iChat->Preferences->Video and couldn't see my image
- Validated that 'Camera is Enabled' in iChat->Video->Camera is Enabled
If you are experiencing a similar problem with you built-in iSight, I would probably focus on the last 5 things that I did. What they showed me was that the iSight was just not capturing video even though it was capturing sound in 3 different applications.
The solution to iSight Off or iSight Not Responding or No Video is......reset your computer! I had thought my sister performed this but it turns out she hadn't. Here's the link to this procedure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Very easy to do though: Power off computer and unplug all cables, including power cable for at least 15 seconds. Plug everything back in and power up the computer and retry clicking on the 'Video' icon next to your login name. If you see yourself then...problem is solved.
While I eventually found posts in several other forums, it took me the better part of a week. To try this simple step. I wish I had done so straight away. Oy. I guess I learned a lot about ports, speed etc.
I hope this helps.

Apple TV problem after upgrading to iTunes 7.5

PROBLEM: After upgrading to 7.5, Apple TV no longer recognized iTunes and vice versa.
ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS: Removed and reinstalled iTunes 7.5 from scratch. Reset @TV to Factory Defaults and reconfigured. Removed Apple TV from iTunes Preferences/Apple TV/Remove Apple TV.
iTunes no longer finds @TV, either in the Preferences/Apple TV pane, or in the Device List. Everything worked perfectly before the 7.5 upgrade. All other features and devices working fine. Have reviewed all postings and eliminated the possibility of firewall or port problems.
Suggestions welcome! Thanks.

I have partially resolved the problem. Something with the 7.5 upgrade changed the network protocols being used by the Apple TV... switching to a wired network from end to end with a full shut down and reboot has the @TV back online... I am still working on trying to solve the wireless side of the equation.

And use and install on USB key MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool from here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.msg800577#msg800577
Flash using method 1.
And tell us if that works.
thank you for reply that fast i will try asap and tell here.
Btw, have you ever face a problem as i wrote above?

Problems after upgrading to iTunes version 6

Hello,
I've been going through the threads a lot since I have had problems after upgrading to iTunes v. 6. It looks like a lot of people have had the same issues, and I have tried some things that were recommended. After I upgraded, iTunes would not open. I tried:
1. deleting sidb file
2. doing the msconfig thing suggested in discussion boards
3. going into safe mode and deleting 4 and 6 letter weird files in DOS - I found 3 that I deleted
iTunes worked after this -- then I bought a song and it said my computer was not authorized, after I authorized computer (that never happened before), iTunes worked for about 15 more minutes and then closed down abruptly. I haven't been able to open it since.
I also downloaded Spybot search & destroy and that did not find anything. I am using McAfee, and have scanned for viruses with McAfee and AdAware.
Now, when I restart my computer, a bunch of windows pop up with Chinese/Japanese looking characters and say that device (I think) was not found. I seem to be able to use everything except iTunes and Quicktime. When I open the Task Manager, iPodService.exe and iTunesHelper.exe and qttask.exe are there, but when I click on Quicktime or iTunes the file flashes in Task Manager and then disappears.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be apppreciated -- I'd like to be able to open iTunes!

Hello,
I used Nickroo's post:
I was able to get iTunes launched (with the help of Tech Support) in a very unsafe environment. I owe it to those who may need this after me. It will get you going, but you will be extremely vulnerable to internet virus assaults. Please do not use this approach, until you have exhausted every other available solution for your issue in the KB.
There are three Steps 1) Uninstall 2) Disble and 3) Reinstall.
UNISTALL Uninstall iTunes using Windows utility Add Remove Program available in Control Panel.
DISABLE Disable all third party System Services and Startup Items using using MSCONFIG utility as described in Service Document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
RE-INSTALL Re-install iTunes6 + QT7. Launch it under the Selective Startup Option.
It worked ! You realize among other things at this point you have your Antivirus and Firewall disabled. When I started my computer in the Normal Startup Option, iTunes fails to work again. So I have ahead of me the long and ardous task of ruling out the service that is causing conflict with iTunes6. Then work with the software vendor to arrive at a solution.
This seems to have worked so far- I haven't started to go through ruling out what made iTunes not work; I also haven't tried to connect my iPod or burn a CD, so we'll see.

Permission problems after upgrade to 10.5 on early Power PC G5 Tower

Permissions problems after upgrading to 10.5 on a client power PC (early) G5 tower.
Problems include folders that are created on XServe via this client do not allow any one else including this client to access. All other clients running 10.5, which happen to be newer Intel machines do not have this problem. Repairing permissions, updating to 10.5.1, try to manually correct permissions have all failed to repair the situation. All clients log onto the XServe with the same user/password. This client has since been downgraded back to 10.4.9 and has no issues.
The Xserve runs 10.3.9, any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have read through the forums regarding permission problems after upgrading and even tried some tips found here.

You really should check things out first before speaking.
Here are the requirements for 10.5;
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires:
A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
512 MB memory or more
A DVD drive for installation
9 GB of available disk space or more
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply.
Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.

Layouts problem after upgrade

Hello, I have a problem after upgrade from 2007 to 8.81 PL 05.
Since we upgrade SAP, the layout changed.
For example, in a credit note if it has 3 lines, in the layout will appear 2 lines in a page and 1 in other page.
if the credit note has 4 lines, in the layout will appear 3 lines in a page and 1 in other page.
What could it be?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
lines are not duplicated, they just printed on different pages:
- if doc has just 2 lines - printed form is good
- if doc has 3 items, two of them are printed on the first page, 3d - on the second page
- if doc has 4 items, 3 of them are printed on the first page, 4th - on the second page
When we are printing directly from the server everything is working fine. But printing from all Clients gives us this issue that is described above.
SAP re-installation for all users will take too much time. May be exist any other option that we can try?
we really appreciate your help
