Sound fails after last upgrade

Hello everybody,
Last night i did a "pacman -Syu", and that caused my sound to stop working. Under KDE, kmix tells me that it can't find a mixer. Anybody got a solution? Anybody else experiencing the same problem?

I thought the alsa config utility made the addtions to modprobe.conf; I don't remember adding it myself.
lp, certainly, and if my memory serves, parport needed to be added manually on one of my machines, too.   I exchanged a couple of e'mails with tpowa on this a few months ago.  The modules remain in my config file, and I'm happily print so haven't worried about it.

  • [SOLVED] Unable to boot after last upgrade [HP Smart Array]

    Hello guys.
    After last upgrade I'm unable to boot. I have fileserver with 2 discs in HP Smart Array RAID 1.
    While booting, kernel is unable to find my raid (should be cciss) and therefore lvm2 hook fails to find root partition. While going into recovery, I can chroot without an issue, lsmod shows that cciss driver is properly loaded, disk exits in /dev/cciss/, logical group and volumes are detected properly.
    No matter what I do, I just can't get cciss module into kernel. Putting in MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf's MODULES="" didn't help. I'm listing my initramfs images and there is no cciss.ko. I'm also searching for module in my filesystem and can not find it.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    Of course, no change.

    Second, after editing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf you need to regenerate your initramfs.
    # mkinitcpio -p linux
    But the MODULES section needs to have something in there...
    Here's mine:
    MODULES="pata_amd sata_nv ehci-hcd ohci-hcd ext2 ext3 ext4 vfat snd-hda-intel"
    You probably need "mdadm" or "mdadm_udev" in there too, I'm not sure... I don't use RAID, but maybe these will help:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … Using_RAID
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/So … ID_and_LVM
    HP Smart Array is hardware RAID, therefore I don't need mdadm. Right module should be cciss, but this is somehow not working. Adding this into MODULES does not add cciss module to image.
    When I'm booting from Arch install for recovery and chroot, cciss is loaded and my HP Smart Array disk is visible.

    Maybe (because of occurrences of NetDictRequests) it is caused by internet modules which you don't have to need. I use just my local dictionaries and my ~/.stardict/stardict.cfg looks like:

    (Well, there are some strange symbols after ".ifo"s on "dict_order_list=" line, they couldn't be pasted.)
    Internet (mainly those Chinese) modules are really unusable for me, so the first thing I do when I install StarDict is I delete all occurrences of <virtualdict ... /> and <netdict ... /> in the configuration file. Maybe it will help you too if you keep just <localdict ... /> items.
    There's other thing that bothers me now with StarDict - RealPeopleTTS works fine with the version 3.0.1-3 but hesitates to with the up-to-date version 3.0.2-2.

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

    I think the spacing now is correct, while before it was wrong. The only "problem" is that you got used to a bad font rendering, and now that it has changed for better you feel like it's different and don't like it.
    Really, *most* of the problems that people find in Linux's fonts are just because they are used to the awful default fonts from Windows XP. Yes, people can even get used to those fonts and believe they're good!!! And when they see correct fonts in Linux they think they're bad...
    What I would do is remove the MS TTF fonts. They work bad in Windows and worse in Linux. You should use Bitstream Vera or DejaVu if you want good quality fonts (especially in web pages).
    But, then again, you might think that they look wrong just because you're not used to it... Oh, well...
    What does correct font / correct spacing mean ?
    IMO, that doesn't make any sense, because that's a totally subjective matter, like many other things in this world.
    BTW, I love how fonts look in Windows, and I think that must be the only thing MS got right. Thus, I'm using ms fonts in linux, and a rendering as close as possible (no autohinting or antialiasing or subpixel rendering).
    Similarly, I could find a woman beautiful that you would find ugly or just average. We are all different, and it's better that way

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    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. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

    I downgraded the kernel and the printer works again and I forgot to mention I had usblp blacklisted both before and after I upgraded.

  • 3gs iOS 6.1.2 call failed - after software upgrade

    After the upgrade, i can receive calls, connect to wireless, send texts and play sounds, but cannot make calls.
    "Call Failed" is the msg i get wthin a second of dialling.
    The signal strength is excellent and since i have tried calling several phones (land and mobiles, with different providers/carriers) within my home, I know they are not busy and it cannot be a network problem.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • [SOLVED] ((none)) login/tty and no keyboard after last upgrade?

    Hi,
    I dual boot and it's been a while since I last upgraded. I booted into Arch, updated everything, and used the system for a few days before rebooting (perhaps a bad call). I just rebooted today and my login prompt is like this:
    ((none)) tty1
    (none) login:
    But my keyboard does nothing. No alt+f* to get to a different terminal, no nothing. I have to hard kill the machine. I've tried twice but would prefer not to do that more than I have to. The second time, fsck didn't work so I booted into the Arch install disk and ran it manually. I tried to chroot into my Arch install and re-run pacman -Syu but got transient server failures. Not sure what all needs to be in place to try and do that, though.
    Has anyone encountered anything like this before? I get the same behavior with arch and arch fallback. I boot to login prompt, not directly to X so it's not anything to do with that, at least not that I would figure.
    So far, the only thing I've been able to find is from 2007 (LINK) but it seemed related to X. I'm going to check rc.conf next time I boot up but wanted to see if there's any other suggestions from someone more experience before I boot up again and potentially have to hard kill.
    Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions.

    @Knute: indeed.
    Somewhat embarrassingly, I just found out about manually maintaining *.pacnew files today when researching an unrelated issue. It made me wonder if that was my problem. Perhaps something is goofed in /etc which would explain a ton.
    I'm in OS X right now but will reboot shortly and try to fix this issue.
    The keyboard issue is troubling as well, though. Some have reported no logins, but often it's a PAM or login manager issue trying to go into X directly. I'm doing no such thing and literally can't get *anything* to work on my keyboard. That makes me wonder...
    If I were to boot into the Arch CD and try to run pacman manually... what do I have to do other than
    # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
    # chroot /mnt
    I tried that yesterday but failed. I'm wondering if I have to mount some other items for that to work. /proc?

  • Displaying bash-3.2$ in terminal [NOT-SOLVED after last upgrade]

    hello, I have this same problem: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39192 but the "solution" posted there does not help me at all, I wish I could reuse the old thread but the 'SOLVED' keyword in the title may be confusing so I'm starting a new one.
    the problem is that the prompt of my terminals (konsole, yakuake, xterm) is PS1='\s-\v\$ ' in all users; this started to happen after the last upgrade when the profile mechanism was changed somehow, I have no PS1 in my .bashrc and the PS1 in profile.bash is PS1='[\u@\h:\w]\n\$ '.
    an interesting thing to know is that the virtual consoles (the ones accessed with Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6]) have the right prompt, and sourcing /etc/profile also fixes the problem on the others so I'm guessing that some other configuration file (possibly KDE or X related) is overwriting my prompt but I can't find it! fgrep -R 'PS1' /etc/profile* only shows the one I set not the wrong one.
    /etc/profile and /etc/profile.bash are being loaded since the other declarations are present as well when running `set` only PS1 has changed it's value.
    any help is appreciated.

    still searching, first of all some tests I've made with the help of the guys at #bash
    [11:33] <`Samus_> guys is it possible that starting X somehow erases my prompt?
    [11:33] <`Samus_> I know that's is not purely bash and maybe OS-specific sorry
    [11:33] <`Samus_> but it's geting me nuts
    [11:33] <{xmb}> cant find it

    [11:35] <`Samus_> is bieng defined in /etc/profile (/etc/profile.bash really but it-s sourced from there) there-s no PS1 in .bashrc and the rest of the variables are set
    [11:35] <`Samus_> the most weird part is that in the virtual consoles (Ctrl+Alt+[1-6]) is ok
    [11:36] <{xmb}> smells likke a code fault
    [11:36] <`Samus_> but everything under X not

    [11:36] <`Samus_> let's see

    [11:38] <{xmb}> code fault something where

    [11:39] <pgas> what if you type just "bash" in a terminal?

    truly wtf...

  • Call fails after last update

    Can anyone help me, after the last update from Apple to my iphone 3g I get call fail after call fail. It is getting embarassing at work where I rolled these phone out.

    Standard troubleshooting is
    1)Reset: reset your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    2)Restore as new or from backup: see page 141 of the manual for details...http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    Note the last sentence of the Restore paragraph... "In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPhone."

    I've tried also the newest ati drivers ( 8.28.8 ) with no luck (and btw the current PKGBUILD doesn't work too, it complains about a already existing links to Makefile.lib.c; applying the patch ati-makefile-2.6.16.patch correct the problem).
    The open source's ati drivers work, and I'm using them now. xorg.conf hasn't changed at all and, no, generating one new with aticonfig doesn't solve the problem.

    I got it working now 
    At first, compiling ati-fglrx-beyond with the Cerebral's pkgbuild they gave me this error:
    make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'
    ln: creating symbolic link `./Makefile.lib.c' to `../scripts/Makefile.lib.c': File exists
    make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.lib.c] Error 1
    make: *** [_module_/var/abs/local/ati-fglrx-beyond/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod] Error 2
    make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'
    ok, let's remove that link then, I thought. But after having done that:
    make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'
    CC scripts/Makefile.lib.o
    gcc: scripts/Makefile.lib.c: No such file or directory
    gcc: no input files

    make: *** [_module_/var/abs/local/ati-fglrx-beyond/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod] Error 2
    make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond'
    That was weird  :?
    After googling a bit, I've found an idea from the ubuntu forum where it says to run
    make scripts/
    from /usr/src/linux-$kernver/ ; after a little wait time to allow the compiling, I retried to make the driver compiling and this time they worked flawlessly 
    No more module mismatch, I wonder why I didn't have that Makefile.lib.c in the kernel source directory....
    Anyway, thanks for your help Cerebral

    Thanks a lot
    Just want to add that I had to edit grub at start up and add "single" at the end of the kernel line.
    The reason is that switching to runlevel 3 didn't work for me.
