[Soved] usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed: -1

Edit: This issue is old so it wasn't a recent kernel update that started causing it, this is something that's been around for a long time. For me this issue occurred because of a faulty Corsair M65 RGB mouse, apparently the problems I experienced with it are very common with this mouse model, so I'm guessing that the whole line is faulty. It worked fine on Windows when it had it's drivers installed so I'm guessing that the mouse  wasn't a huge fan of generic mouse drivers which was where the problems began. The issue stopped around the time I traded it out for a different mouse, but if anyone else is experiencing this, Staubsauger posted a hotfix solution in the below post.
Since some kernel update (I think somewhere in the 3.17 cycle, the earliest it could have been would be late in the 3.16 cycle I'd guess) I'm getting this message
[    11.983672] hid-generic 0003:1B1C:1B12.0002: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed: -1
And I notice that my keyboard is not working, i.e. I can't log in from the terminal. (Since I am using a g15 series(g510) keyboard, I also noticed that if I initialize the g15daemon, i.e. a userspace driver, rather than the generic usb keyboard driver, the keyboard will start functioning as normal again. But this is not unique to my keyboard, the same thing happens even if I use a  USB keyboard as generic as they can get, from gigabyte, so I made sure that this is not just happening because I have a slightly unique type of keyboard)
This is happening right now on a fresh reinstall of linux everytime I boot. And in this case, I'm operating from the terminal mode and have not installed the 3rd party drivers for my keyboard. This has never happened before (the last kernel I used was either 3.15 or 3.16, so I would assume this was caused by some change from the 3.17 cycle)
The easy way to fix it is unplugging the keyboard, and then plugging it back in, keyboards work as expected after this. So while this is relatively easy to hotfix, and the problem may go away upon launching X (I haven't tested that yet though, but I suspect when evdev drivers are initialized, a generic keyboard would start working again) it can be quite annoying to say the least.
Anyone know what might be wrong or how to fix it? Is it a kernel bug?
Edit: I had the chance to and have now confirmed, that the keyboard does not initialize correctly after X is started and evedev is run. Moreover, I noticed that this bug applies to most likely all (generic) HIDs, since when I booted straight into X, the mouse was not able to move either.
Edit #2: I have found out that if I just wait for a while (like 30 seconds) the devices will start working. This makes this a bit less annoying, but annoying still.

Thanks Staubsauger, I don't know exactly why but this stopped happening to me (my guess if I think of it is that I changed my mouse, the corsair mouse I had was flawed, it double clicked twice sometimes, and apparently that was a common problem. I haven't noticed this since I changed to another mouse), so I won't get a chance to try out your fix.
I guess we can mark this as solved

  • Corsair K70 RGB Malfunctioning

    I got the new Corsair K70 RGB keyboard in early September, and I've been struggling with Linux compatibility ever since.
    The keyboard usually works fine in Windows, with a couple of very irregular glitches, and it works as well in grub. My Arch setup uses dm-crypt with LUKS for an encrypted root disk, so I enter a password at boot. Typically, the keyboard isn't functioning at this point. After I select Arch linux in grub, the key backlights go black and none of the keys seem to have any effect. If I wait at the password prompt, the system throws out intermittent error messages. Once I enter the prompt and the system gets to my greeter (sddm), the keyboard may or may not be working. Some of the time, the keyboard will light up, but if I try to type my password (or, if I disable my desktop manager, my username), it starts repeating the first character I type over and over and over again. I can sometimes get it working at this point by unplugging both USB connections (yes, this keyboard has two for some reason), and plugging them back in, but that's by no means foolproof. When I reach the greeter, the keyboard might simply continue not working, in which case it starts working when I successfully authenticate.
    Anecdotally, it seems like these keyboard problems manifest more often when I've just switched over from Windows, but that could just be a red herring.
    I've tried removing other peripherals to isolate the issue, which has no effect on whether or not the keyboard works. I've tried moving the keyboard module to before the encrypt module in my initcpio, which only delays the encrypt prompt, and similarly has no effect on the keyboard functioning. I tried updating the keyboard firmware last night (no effect), and I've tried updating my system with pacman -Syu. I'm attaching several dmesg dumps from various boot attempts, and I can add any other logging if useful.
    For dmesg log 0000: I had just rebooted from windows. The keyboard worked in grub. The keyboard backlight turned off when the encrypt password prompt came up, and they keys didn't do anything. When I reached sddm (after entering my password with my laptop keyboard), the backlight was on, but the first key I hit started repeating like crazy. After unplugging the keyboard, logging in with the laptop keyboard, and plugging the corsair keyboard back in, the keyboard still wouldn't function, even after several iterations of unplugging and plugging it back in.
    For dmesg log 0001: I tried pacman -Syu, and then rebooted. The keyboard didn't work for grub, and didn't work at the encrypt prompt, but the backlight remained on. Once I reached sddm I could type correctly, including after I logged in. Below is the portion of output I saw at boot.

    Other keyboard artifacts: if I'm in bash and typing some command and then piping it through grep or something, the command will end up looking like: dmesg | |grep or dmesg | |\grep. If I type slower, the pipe character isn't repeated. Sequence of keys: space, shift down, backslash, space, shift up.

    Edit: it looks like there's a thread over on Corsair's forums about this.
    Edit2: also worth mentioning galen104's fix to the "timeout initializing reports" error.

    Yes. From my tests I've found USB3 on Linux quite buggy (if not completely broken in some cases) and only way to get rid of the problems is to disable it. You could try blacklist xhci_hcd module, but I'm not sure if its going to change something.

  • Mutations: my keyboard pretends to be a mouse!

    Hi,
    I have checked some "no usb keyboard" posts, and the sollutions where based in bios modification. My BIOS only lets you choose boot sequence, and disable old ports (serial, etc) that it doesn't has... and set the time and date.
    How can i make my keyboard work? I found that the wheel that it has works perfectly, and that when I click ALT + TAB it makes the mouse jump to the right.
    This is dmesg output:
    usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

    I've recongnized that in the Apple Help it is only possible to make fonts smaller (ctrl + '-'), if one tries to make them bigger again, (ctrl + '+') fails.
    the only way is to close the Help and open it again.
    any suggestions? is the failure reproducible for other users?

  • EJB control question

    Hello,
    To put it shortly, can I access remote EJBs from Workshop

    separate WLS 7.0 webservice server. Now I want to access
    those 6.1 beans from 7.0 webservice EJB control. Is it possible?
    I used Workshop to create EJB controls and it seemed to me that
    Workshop only specifies JNDI names in JWS file, but no

    have a kind of similar problem, deployed an SLSB with local home interface.
    Deployed SLSB with jndi name myapp/ejb/localSLSB. I checked that the SLSB
    is listed in the JNDI tree of the server but lookup with
    jndi://localhost:7001/myapp/ejb/localSLSB from EJB Ctrl failed.
    With username and password exposes another error:

  • Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

    Hi all,
    This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
    I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
    In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
    Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
    I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
    So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
    Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
    When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
    So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
    After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
    I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
    So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
    I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
    So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
    Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
    I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
    So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact.  I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
    They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
    I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
    Part Description                                           Symptom
    IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change
    System board                                                 Network card error
    Hard disk drive                                                Network card error
    ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
    There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
    When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
    Windows 8.1
    SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
    Build 9600
    I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
    Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
    Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
    collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
    If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
    Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
    By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
    I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
    Log Information,
    Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm 
    You have not done a hardware test on your computer
    And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
    When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
    I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
    At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
    Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
    Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
    Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
    In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
    After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
    Then, I ran hardware scan again...
    Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
    In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
    There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
    Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
    The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
    64 of them are the disk error.
    341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
    3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
    60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.

    When I am writing an email, I get an alert message that says “The message could not be copied or moved to the drafts folder. Writing to the folder failed. To gain disc space, choose Empty Deleted and choose Compact Folders and try again.”
    If I do that, I get a message saying “There was an error copying to the Sent folder,, retry?”
    If I retry it sends the uncompleted email. All I can do is keep deleting the message and carry on. Then the whole business might repeat itself.
    Help!

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

    Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
    Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
    I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
    I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

    Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.

  • **SOLUTION** DLLML.exe Fails to load at startup (application error)

    Hello everyone!
    I purchased the SB X-Fi Fatalty Champion Edition soon after release, and think this is the best card I have ever used to date. Absolutely love it, unbelievable sound.
    Now a year or two ago I noticed a certain file failing to load when I started windows.
    This file, DLLML.exe. To my understanding this file is used to load EAX emulation support into older games/modules (essential loads a "middle-man" file between the game's sound files/.dll's, and the hardware SPU [Sound Processing Unit, not a real acronym, but that's what I call it since GPU and CPU are similar distincti've acronyms so if you see it used anywhere, it came from me ] to allow EAX support in non-EAX enabled games), and/or to add EAX effects in your audio files using the Wave Studio app.
    I've pinpointed this issue to either a Windows Update, or the Creative auto-update (which could mean it is an error caused by an installaion combination of multiple apps at once) because this issue did not arise until I did these two things (did Windows Update, then Creative Auto-Update, then restarted computer).
    Now I've primarily had this issue with Windows XP x64 but I have had this issue at times with Windows XP x86 as well.
    After you install the software suite, it adds an entry in your Windows Startup to load the module (Start/Run. msconfig. Startup tab. Look for STARTUP ITEM: DLLML). The entry looks like this:
    WinXPx86 looks like: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    WinXPx64 looks like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    Under most circumstances this module loads fine, but because Creative, for reasons why I have not delved into, loads some of their DLL files differently than the Windows standard, which may also be a cause of this issue (extremely unlikely, I believe it is one of the 2 things i mentioned above).
    Either way, after I did those 2 things, the DLLML.exe startup entry failed to load every time.
    But I fixed it.
    Now what you have to do to resolve this issue, involves editing the startup entry in the Windows Registry.
    If you are scared to go into it, have no idea what I am talking about, or never edited the Registry before, don't worry. If you follow these steps EXACTLY, you have nothing to fear.
    I will be using default installation parameters for file pathing, so if your Operating System is installed in a different dri've letter other than C:\, then just change the letter to the one your OS is installed onto.
    Capitals used for emphesis on actions to take:
    -Hit the START button, then select RUN
    --------If RUN is not in your start menu, you need to enable it by right-clicking and open area of your TASKBAR, select PROPERTIES. --------Click the START MENU tab, then the CUSTOMIZE button. Click the ADVANCED tab. In the START MENU ITEMS box, scroll down to the entry that says SHOW RUN. Check the checkbox to fill it. Then OK/APPLY/OK, and you should be back to the desktop. Then go to START/RUN
    -type the word REGEDIT
    --------This opens the Windows Registry.
    --------DO NOT change ANYTHING in this other than the exact directions I specify or you may corrupt your registry or even worse, corrupt your system, which means F&R time (Format & Reinstall). Treat it like a stripper. You can look all you want but don't touch or there could be dire consequences.
    --------Now the fastest way to find this is to manually navigate to the specific "key" or "entry" you need to modify. Mouse-click the +'s to navitage further into the "hi've" following these maps:
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x86 USERS NAVIGATE TO: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x64 USERS NAVITAGE TO: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432\Microsoft\Wind ows\CurrentVersion\Run
    --------Now you are looking for a specific entry NAME called RCSYSTEM. Depending on which version you are running. They are:
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x86 USERS: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x64 USERS: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem * -Startup
    -------Now we are going to edit the entry. What we need to do is get rid of that * (asterix) character in the name. I don't know why it is there, I'm thinking it may be a coding error. But in my WinXPx64, this was the culprit.
    -Double-click the RCSYSTEM key to edit it, and edit it so it looks EXACTLY LIKE THIS (If you're paranoid about doing something bad, COPY and PASTE this line pertaining to your installed OS. KEEP IN MIND THE INSTALLATION DRIVE LETTER, CHANGE FIRST LETTER IF NESCESSARY)
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x86 USERS: "C:\Program Files\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem -Startup
    -FOR WINDOWS XP x64 USERS: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Shared Files\Module Loader\DLLML.exe" RCSystem -Startup
    -click OK button. Now it is changed.
    -------And we're DONE EDITING the Registry entry!
    -now go to FILE in the top-left menu, then select EXIT
    -RESTART your computer
    -------You should not receive the "DLLML.exe failed to load" (application error) again!!
    To check to see if it loaded into your system properly (as if not getting the error message anymore was proof enough it loaded properly), when you reboot back to the desktop, do the "three-fingered salute" (ctrl-alt-delete), then select the PROCESSES tab. Click on the IMAGE NAME heading to sort it alphabetically, and look for the name (WinXPx86) DLLML.exe or (WinXPx64) DLLML.exe *32.
    If you see it listed, it loaded!! CONGRATS, IT BE FIXED!!
    If this did not work for you, then your system is posessed, get a priest. I don't think a witchdoctor would give your comp good vibes O_o
    Hope this resolved it for you. Enjoy your EAX with Duke Nukem 3d again!
    EDIT: As a side note, I also noticed that since after this fix, my computer doesn't hang after sending the restart/shutdown killsignal, so I am wondering with people having similar hanging issues, if their issue could be resolved something similar to this.
    Just a thought for any admins/mods/users out there that know what they are doing that maybe wanna test that out.

    G Kudos for a brilliant finding! After a Windows Hotfix on my XP SP3, when shutting down my PC I would wait for a program and then get an error that EAX was not responding before finally shutting down. On next reboot I lost sound on my PC. After running tests, the Direct Sound test failed pointing at EAX.
    This solution cured the problem. Again, kudos, job really well done!!!

  • System Recovery Kit for dv7-3165dx fails to restore factory image to replacement hd

    I'm posting this wall of text here in case someone else has any suggestions before I contact HP Support to see what options they have.
    My attempt to recover the factory image to a replacement hard drive in an HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx notebook is failing. An error occurs when SM.exe is trying to merge the WIM files. The SSRD.Log shows an error:
    SM, 13, Set reference file fail
    after that, SM.exe displays this message when run from a command line:
    SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
    The following are the symptoms that the Recovery Manager displays on the screen.
    The Recovery Manager reads the two DVDs and after a few seconds, it pops up an error message:
    Reducer
    C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found.
    The message has on "OK" button that when clicked on, closes the message window.
    After that, nothing happens. No disk or DVD activity for over an hour. The mouse moves, but no key presses have any effect, including CTRL-ALT-DEL. You can use the mouse to move the Recovery Manager window around, and there is nothing hidden behind it. Clicking on the Recovery Manager Back, Next, or Cancel buttons produce no response at all.
    The only option at this point is to hold down the power switch until it powers down.
    When the power is turned back on, the hard drive boots and Recovery Manager displays a message that incorrectly claims "Recovery is complete" and has a "Click Finish to restart" button. After clicking on "Finish", it reboots but since the System Recovery did not actually complete, all it does is display:
    BOOTMGR is missing
    Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart
    Before attempting the recovery, the notebook passed all diagnostic tests.
    The 2x2GB memory cards, which still have HP stickers on them, were tested with Memtest86+ V5.01 and completed over six passes in over seven hours with zero errors.
    The replacement 500GB HGST Travelstar Z5K500 drive was tested with gsmartcontrol. The SMART status showed no errors in the past with over 400 hours of power-on time. Both of the SMART short self-test and extended self-test tests were run, which it passed without any errors.
    The HP System Diagnostics from the Startup Menu were run on the memory and hard drive and they passed those tests without any errors.
    While waiting for the HP "System Recovery Kit for Consumer Notebook (3 Disks)" Software Part Number 599357-001 to arrive, both Fedora 21 64bit and Windows Vista 64bit were successfully installed on the harddrive.
    Both System Recovery DVDs were read on different machines without any errors. This System Recovery Kit supports the notebook's System Id which is 3638, so they appear to be the correct discs.
    Now a list of workaround attempts that were suggested.
    After the Recovery Manager failed a few times with the same error message, some googling came up with other users mentioning the "TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message. I tried these suggestions that I read about.
    Run KillDisk to fill the HD with zeros.
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    Run the CyberLink Recovery Discs Utility (sp44645.exe).
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    Installed Windows VISTA 64bit again and upgraded the BIOS from F10 to F13.
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    Try only using a single 2GB memory card to see if it was a 64bit problem.
    Running Recovery Manager after that failed with the same error message.
    The BIOS does not have an option to change from AHCI mode to IDE mode.
    I don't have a Windows 7 OEM install disc and am trying to avoid spending $100 to buy one.
    That is when I decided that it is not a PC hardware problem, but a problem with the HP System Recovery Kit. Here are the details of what I think the Kit is doing.
    After running Recovery Manager and getting the error message, instead of just re-booting and letting the "Recovery is complete" message appear, I re-booted with a Linux USB drive and inspected what was on the hard drive.
    fdisk -l shows this:
    Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors

    fsarchiver probe shows this:
    [======DISK=] [=============NAME====] [====SIZE==] [MAJ] [MIN]
    [sda                     ] [HGST HTS545050A7                ]  [  465.76 GB] [     8] [     0]

    [sda2                 ] [vfat                  ] [SDV                     ] [  400.00 MB] [   8] [     2]
    Running gparted shows about 200 MB of unallocated space before the sda1 NTFS partition. The rest of the disk is unallocated after the bootable sda2.
    The sda1 NTFS partition has a \SSRD.Log file and an empty \RM\Image directory.
    The sda2 FAT32 partition has the Recovery Manager application files in it:
    /mnt/sda2:
    total 400
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Apr 9 23:36 SDV.FLG
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 9 23:36 SYSTEM.SAV
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 BOOT
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 EFI
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 1 2009 SOURCES
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 27 2009 TOOL
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 383562 Jul 13 2009 bootmgr
    The SOURCES directory has boot.wim, and the TOOL directory has all the programs, like Reducer.exe and SM.exe, in it.
    After shutting down the Linux system and rebooting, the Recovery Manager then boots from sda2 and displays the "Recovery is complete" message and "Click Finish to restart" button. During this process, it removes the sda2 partition and marks the sda1 NTFS partition as the active bootable partition. When the PC restarts, all that is left is the sda1 NTFS partition with the empty C:\RM\Image directory and the SSRD.Log file, so there is no BOOTMGR to boot with.
    The SSRD.Log file logs the tasks that the Recovery Manager performs.
    The Recovery Manager runs some initialization tasks and then reads the two System Recovery DVDs. It then calls MergeWimFile which runs SM.exe and starts to merge BASE.WIM with the other BASE*.WIM files. SM.exe merges 20 WIM files with log entries like these:
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE22.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE23.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE3.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE4.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE5.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE6.WIM
    SM, Success, refName= C:\RM\IMAGE\BASE7.WIM
    Then, with only two WIM files left, BASE8.WIM and BASE9.WIM, the log shows:
    SM, 13, Set reference file fail
    This must be when Recovery Manager pops up the "Reducer C:\RM\Image\TempBASE.WIM was not found" error message.
    That narrowed down the problem.
    I copied all of the WIM files and the TOOLS directory to a Windows 8.1 system. The two DVDs did not have any errors while being read. Running SM.exe from an admin Command Prompt with the same parameters that were logged in the SSRD.Log produced the same error message. There was an additional error message that appeared in the Command Prompt window:
    SM, 13, Set reference file fail
    SM, Failure, Can not load imagex 1 from src WIM file
    and the TempBASE.WIM was not created.
    SM.exe /? did not provide a help message. I could not find any documentation on the SM.exe command.
    If I removed three of the WIM files, (BASE7.WIM BASE8.WIM BASE9.WIM) then SM.exe could create the TempBASE.WIM file, but it would fail while merging index 2 of 3 with this message:
    SM, 11%, Merge index 2 of 3 Processing
    SM, Failed, Export image failed
    The TempBASE.WIM is 3,421,518 KB in size after that.
    This is where I came to a dead end and cannot think of anything else that I can do. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it appears to me that there was some kind of error building this System Recovery Kit and it is not able to perform a factory install on this notebook.
    ps
    If I can figure out how to add an attachment, I will add the SSRD.Log file.  If not, then ask and I will post it as a followup.

    Downloaded Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit which contains the latest imagex program.
    Running imagex.exe on the BASE7.WIM file on the second System Recovery DVD:
    imagex.exe /info K:\PRELOAD\BASE7.WIM
    ImageX Tool for Windows
    Version: 6.2.9200.16384
    Error opening file [K:\PRELOAD\BASE7.WIM].
    The data is invalid.
    The same error message is shown for BASE7.WIM, BASE8.WIM, and BASE9.WIM.
    The other WIM files in the PRELOAD directory, BASE5.WIM, BASE6.WIM, BASE10.WIM, BASE13.WIM, BASE15.WIM, BASE17.WIM and BASE23.WIM, could be read by imagex without any errors.

  • MacBook Pro Retina (mid 2014) failing Memtest ?

    Hi !
    I'm experiencing issues with my MB pro retina mid 2014 since I have it (1 month now) : kernel panic, reboots, freeze, and so on. As I have a little experience with computers, I thought it sound like a memory issue. So I ran memtest (from USB stick, and from the OS) after a complete reinstall (from the network).
    Now, memtest from USB stick shows 10560 errors and freezes the computeur after 1h30. Memtest from the OS shows that :

    I run the global Apple Hardware test that says there is probably an issue with a memory module.
    Here's my trouble : I went to my nearest Apple Premium reseller, the tech guy says my Macbook has no issue, and is in perfect condition... he just made a test like in the terminal : yes something, to "stress" the memory. He says memtest isn't edited by Apple and its results are not relevant, and AHT is just a simple user diagnostic tool, but it's not relevant neither...
    But I'm pretty sure AHT AND memtest can't be wrong ? What can I do ?

    I have a new install of Windows 2012.  I have two physical servers.  One is a W2012 std Domain Controller ("DC").  The Second is configured as W2012 HyperV  ("HV").  Under HV I have
    two VMs.  One VM is W2012/Exchange 2013 ("ExchVM) and the other is W2012/Terminal Server ("VMTS").  All systems are behind a firewall appliance.  Exchange is working via Outlook and OWA internally and externally.  The self
    created SSL must be installed manually on external machines since it comes up as an untrusted certificate.  Once installed remote outlook works and OWA works.  I have configured the terminal server and I am able
    to login remotely as various users under my "TS group".  The problem is when ever I attempt to open Outlook for the 1st time, it fails to connect to the exchange server.   (Open Outlook 2013, click next
    on the splash screen, "Yes" Add an Email Account splash screen, click next, Auto Account screen populates NAME and Email Address correctly, click next, Searching for mail server settings..., check on establishing network connection, check on searching
    for alias@ domain, then fails the logging on to the mail server)  The error reads:  "Outlook cannot log on.  Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name.  The
    connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."   I am connected in RDS from offsite, and from the RD session I can access shared folders on ExchVM and DC.  I have
    tried have verified the server Exchange server name is correct via "Get=ClientAccessServer" command.  I have also tried to use the guid via "Get-Mailbox
    ALIAS | fl name, exchangeguid.  Keep in mind all desktop users on the network are connecting to Outlook without issue.
    I would appreciate any thoughts on solving this issue.

    Hi,
    According to your workaround, it seems that the Outlook Anywhere configuration in Outlook client is not correct when using the Autodiscover service.
    Once you connected to Exchange server by manually settings, please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration tool in external Outlook client to check the autodiscover service:
    open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar - Test Email AutoConfiguration. Put your email address - uncheck use guessmart and secure guessmart authentication - click Test to check your Autodiscover service.
    Please check the Log tab and confirm whether the Autodiscover service is connected successfully. Also confirm if the connection issue happens to all external users when they open Outlook for the 1st time. In Exchange server, please make sure
    autodiscover.domain.com has been included in your Exchange certificate which is assigned with IIS service.

  • Some of the shortcut keys and directional keys on the keyboard are not working in FF 4 RC1 (i.e. Tab, Ctrl+C, arrow keys). They work fin in FF 3.6x and other applications.

    Crtl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Tab, and arrow keys do not work at all in FF4.0b13 and later. I am not sure about earlier versions as this is the first version I have tried.

    I found this helpful article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381) and worked my way through the section "Some keys don't work as expected".
    All the following functions/settings are disabled or turned off:
    Text to speech / Speak selected text when the key is pressed
    Slow Keys
    Mouse Keys.
    The keyboard viewer just confirms my list of keys that are not working.
    Starting in safe mode makes no difference; nor does booting from the Mac OS X Install Disc and running Terminal from the Utilities menu. The same keys as before fail to work.
    This seems to confirm that it's a hardware issue. Anyone have any suggestions?
