SRQ Line no longer works on a PCI-GPIB

I have just upgraded a test pc, (tranfering hardware, reinstalling software etc) and now I have a fault with the PCI-GPIB card.
One of the instruments connected to the PC (HP34401 multimeter) uses the SRQ line to indicate when its ready to download its readings. The LV 5.0 code uses the standard legacy drivers from NI and these drivers use the 'wait for SRQ' function which are now timing out in the new setup.
The rest of the card functionality seems ok, and it tests ok. The LV code and cables are fine, because I can run the system with a USB-GPIB-B device.
Has anybody had the same problem?
Could it be a hardware specific driver problem?
The current config is:
1.7GHz PC with 512Mb Ram
PCI-GPIB
PCI-1200
LV 5.0.1
NI-
488.2 Version 2.0
VISA 2.6.1
NIDAQ 6.7
Thanks for your help

Hi Tim,
I found this knowledge base article which seems to address the same problem:
Why is the Agilent 34401A Driver's Getting Started VI Timing Out?
Hope this helps out.

Installed Yosemite - audio line out no longer working

After installing Yosemite, sound will only play from my Mac Pro's internal speakers.
Opening Preferences > Sound and selecting Line Out has no effect.
Why does the Line Out no longer work with Yosemite?

Update:
Seems issue with keyboard volume not working crops up again each time the system enters "sleep" mode.
Volume controls will visually make the volume appear to adjust on screen, but not affect sound level to external speakers.
Only solution I've found so far is a reboot.
Never encountered this with Maverick's or any previous OS.

Continuous write no longer works after upgrade

Hello,
After upgrading a computer motherboard, OS (XP to Win7), and NIDAQmx (9.40 to 9.80) simultaneously the Labview 2011 32-bit vi we use to run our lab bus control system no longer works (the two most pertinent vi's are included here). My next move is to go back to the older NIDAQmx, but this would mean no upgrade possibility to Labview 2013. The card is rather old (NI DIO-32HS) but is supported according to the documentation in NIDAQmx 9.80 and passes all self-tests. I have also tested the outputs with a voltmeter and the test panel in NI MAX.
For large amounts of data to write, the DAQmx Start Task vi executes and throws the following error:
Error -200293 occurred at Dequeue and write out elements.vi
Possible reason(s):
The generation is not yet started, and not enough space is available in the buffer.
Configure a larger buffer, or start the generation before writing more data than will fit in the buffer.
The buffer is not too small. If I delay the Start Task vi the buffer will fill up more and just crash later. For small amounts of written data (400000 points or so) there is no problem. The output executes perfectly.
I realize that this is no longer the recommended clock timing, but:
1. When I try to use a pipelined sample clock I get the following error:
Requested value is not a supported value for this property. The property value may be invalid because it conflicts with another property.
Property: SampTimingType
Requested Value: Pipelined Sample Clock
You Can Select: On Demand, Sample Clock, Handshake, Burst Handshake, Change Detection
I have tried changing many other properties and looked at the NIDAQmx 9.80 included example for pipelined clock and do not see the problem.
2. The normal Sample Clock used to work just fine for generating output while writing to the buffer and I have found an example program on ni.com using this method https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-12402

Hi Sam,
Thanks for having a look-see. I used NIDAQmx 9.4 for all of the tests above. Since then I went back to our old XP computer which it turned out actually had NIDAQmx 9.6.2 (not 9.40) and Labview 11 SP 1. The version of the test program is included here. I modified the channels vi to "one channel for all lines" which doesn't really seem to make a difference. I have the channel set to dev1/port0_32 with the onboard clock at 1MHz. It throws the following error:
Error -200621 occurred at Cont Write Dig Port-Ext Clk-Non Regeneration.vi
Possible reason(s):
Onboard device memory underflow. Because of system and/or bus-bandwidth limitations, the driver could not write data to the device fast enough to keep up with the device output rate.
Reduce your sample rate. If your data transfer method is interrupts, try using DMA or USB Bulk. You can also reduce the number of programs your computer is executing concurrently.
It does not get stable until I reduce the clock speed to 100kHz! And then even crashes sometimes if I run other programs. Which is strange because my lab bus program on this old computer uses 1MHz just fine again, with on board or external clock. The CPU load shoots up with this test VI a lot when you go from 100 to 200kHz. In general this example VI uses much more CPU than my bus program because it is constantly writing to buffer. Loading my buffer in the bus program only takes 1sec or so. I have also changed my bus driver program to use finite instead of continous samples. The bus program craps out at around 1.1MHz clock.
Speaking with other people at the University (4 different groups), it seems that the speed one gets is dependent on the motherboard and DMA somehow. Some computers just seem to give faster rates than others. The overall speed/modernity of the computer and the OS seem to be irrelevant. The others use traditional NIDAQ drivers and the C++ API, but I have not tried that yet, as it would require a recode. Some of them run faster than mine, some slower. We have tried disabling other PCI bus devices and changing the slots. We have also tried various bios versions.
Another thing I noticed, is that the card ALWAYS regenerates, regardless of how the mode is set.
Have a nice evening.

Dead keys in keyboard no longer working

I use "us-acentos" keymap and since 2014-09-24 upgrade the dead keys are no longer working: typing apostrophe followed by "e" should print "é" but instead it just prints the apostrophe.
This under X both in bash and in a graphical editor such as leafpad, geany, netbeans. In a non-X session the dead keys do not work either, an apostrophe followed by "e" will just display a space.
Would anyone have any suggestion as to why this happened and how to correct it? Thank you.

Follow-up:
1) I could restore the keyboard in X with this command:
$ localectl set-x11-keymap us pc104 alt-intl
which creates /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
another option that worked was to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf.pacsave to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf, which also contained the "XkbLayout" and "XkbVariant" lines under "InputClass" (the original file had been renamed to .pacsave in February 2013). See wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg
The output from localectl status now reads:
System Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us-acentos
X11 Layout: us
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Variant: intl
X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
So it seems that the result of an earlier upgrade was to "unset" the keyboard for X (compare with output from localectl status in original post). Why?
2) the keyboard in console (out of X) is still not working. If I try to set it to "us-alt-intl" in /etc/vconsole.conf, it works as "us" should (no dead keys); it I use "us-acentos" some keys do not work. locale-ctl shows that "us-acentos" does exist (but not "us-alt-intl").
Mystery.

Menu bar no longer working with IE update

With the recent update in IE my main menu bar is no longer working, the "hover" function is not working and looks like the links are broken, but the links do work if you actually click on them. From my vista machine it is OK but from my XP machine it does not show as being a link. The submenu's however do still work, here is the code, the first line is from the main menu and doesn't work, the 2nd line is a submenu and does work.
Here is the site www.conundrumadventures.com
From the main menu this is the code for "Adventures":
<td id="002" class="link4" onclick="location.href='Teambuilding-Exercises-Adventures.php'"; onmouseover="changeC('002','link4h');" onmouseout="changeC('002','link4');" >Adventures</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
From within the adventures page here is the code for the submenu for "Conundrum Metro":
          <td id="303" class="Sublink4" onclick="location.href='Outdoor-Team-Building.php'"; onmouseover="subchangeC('303','Sublink4h');" onmouseout="subchangeC('303','Sublink4');" >Conundrum Metro</td>
        </tr>
Any ideas how to fix the main menu bar?
Thanks
Lynn

I recommend doing away with your mouseover/mouseout links and convert to using Cascading Style Sheets.
Here is a link to CSS tutorials: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html
You don't say whether you are using Dreamweaver CS4 or an earlier version, but even if you are using that earlier version, you can type the code in yourself. Look especially at the tutorial chain "Designing with CSS", as there is a module that talks about a menu bar and how to make the links.
Best wishes,
Beth

Bose headset no longer works on iPhone 4

My Bose headset, which worked flawlessly on 3GS, no longer works for voice control and voice memos on my new iphone 4. They still work fine as headphones but the microphone no longer is operational. The Apple supplied headset works and if I unplug the Bose set the voice dialing and memos work okay.
But when I use the Bose headset and try to record a voice memo it includes a rhythmic static every half second or so. Voice control is completely non-operational with this headset. I'm thinking something with the noise canceling is screwed up.
Anyone have any possible work arounds?

Ya, this is a bit of a Joke.
I have an $80 pair of skullcandy headphones with Mic that I just recently purchased for my iPhone 3G. When I jumped to the iPhone4 it doesnt work. The apple headset works every time. When I plug in the skull candy, I can hear the person I'm calling but they cant hear me and to add to that, there is this staticy pulsing sound on the line from the headset. If I press and hold the Talk/Music button on my SC headset, the person I'm calling can hear me but they say I sound like I'm in the background. I thought as you did that the mic on the phone was then in use, but when i disconnected the headset, the person I called said it changed and I sounded "Really" far away at that point.
Apple: So how do I fix this? I refuse to carry around two headsets and the apple headset is less than desireable for quality music listening.

Since latest Thunderbolt Firmware update, most of my third party programs no longer work, is there a way I can fix this?

Since the latest update, most of my third party apps no longer work, none of my photo software, torrent programs, open office, NOTHING!! It is most frustrating - is there a way to 'downgrade' and go back to a previous version of the firmware, or am I just stuck with no apps that work?

They just don't open, and i get an error message like this:

USB device no longer works after 10.6.5 patch

After installing the patch for 10.6.5 Thursday, my Belkin N52te no longer works. It has previously worked fine, and the system extension for it was able to see it, but now it says "No device connected". I have tried re-installing the driver, and 75% through the installation I get a message that the xxx.kext file was not installed correctly. I get this each time I attempt to re-install it.
This gamepad has worked flawlessly for me since purchase in spring of '09 prior to this.
Please don't tell me to update the driver, as Belkin's "latest" is Feb 09. I have contacted Belkin, and am waiting for a response.
I found a suggestion of finding the old usb.kext file from the system backup I have on a second drive, and replacing the current one with it. If anyone thinks this will work, could they give me the exact name of the file to look for?
It seems odd that Apple, after trying to get the Mac accepted as a viable gaming machine, should put out a patch that breaks one of the most widely used "speedpads" on the market. I have been an avid World of Warcraft player for close to 6 years now. The enjoyment I receive while playing WoW has been the driving reason for me to purchase 2 top of the line Mac Pro's in the past 4 years. Come on Apple, fix this, please!?
Thanks,
Dan K.

February 2009? Snow Leopard wasn't even out yet. It is lucky it has worked for a year and a half.
Come on Apple, fix this, please!?
This is a user to user board. Check the terms of use, if you don't believe me. If you want Apple to fix something, here are the links:

While this may work, that's a jalopy of a solution. It might break in the next update, not being up to date itself, and some other extension might be dependent on it. Best to downgrade until you can get assurance that it will work with 10.6.5, if this is an important feature for you. You can either recover your backup, or if not available, see this tip:

Netboot no longer working after 10.6 upgrade

So I updated my 10.5.8 server to 10.6 recently, everything looks to be just dandy except that my netboot server no longer work.
I've used apple's trouble shooting guide and as well as bombich's, but still to no avail, I've checked the bootpd file, I even went as far as editing the nfs.conf file from macosxhints (link below)

I wasn't getting this far (/tftpboot line) until I turned on the firewall to allow port 69 traffic but it seems that the service hangs when the client machine is supposed recevie the payload of the diskimage.
I don't know how a perfect netboot service goes to $h*t after a clean install with no configuration changed. I've verfied that nothing with our dhcp service nor dns has been changed and also verified that the server name has been added to the ip_helper.
Any help is greatly apperciated.

My experiences with netboot on snow leopard server and a few other observations: Point 1 - Never have wireless on whether it be client or server when trying to netboot client. Point 2 - Must use standard mtu setting -1500- on server under prefs. ethernet advanced, doesn't seem to matter on client -I use 7936 for 600TL Readynas on clients only-. Point 3 - It seems that if you ever use wireless on the server it messes it up for good -Took about 8 installs to learn this the hard way-. Point 4 - It seems when logging into workgroup manager with default popup of machine name.local and default user name messes server up if you have a domain name, example of how it should be is: machine name.domain name.com, org, etc. Then username would be diradmin, then password ***** so that settings will hold if you go in to change anything. Many days were spent by a friend and myself learning these few things pertaining to my machine and may help others with weird problems on snow leopard server. If anyone here knows why this is, please post, although my machine is working properly, I am curious. Thank You. By the way, I am using all the latest updates except itunes 10.

[SOLVED] USB 3G no longer works after upgrade to GNOME 3.8

I did the 'big' update today, including upgrading to GNOME 3.8. Unfortunately, NetworkManager no longer picks up my 3G USB modem (which used to work fine before the update). Any pointers as to how I could debug this would be greatly appreciated.
wvdial has never really worked for me, but gnome networkmanager used to pick up my device and the connection, and now simply acts as if it's no longer present. Attempting to follow the instructions on the wiki to re-setup my USB stick (the instructions I followed in the first place) no longer works. Did today's update cause the same problem for anybody else?
**Update: After updating today to modemmanager 0.7.990-4 and running
sudo systemctl enable ModemManager
sudo systemctl start ModemManager
I have full connectivity again with the built-in DW5550 mobile broadband card in my Dell Precision M6600 (including showing signal strength in the GNOME 3.8 top bar, etc). Thanks all for the help, and (most importantly) to whoever fixed up modemmanager!
Last edited by dawid.loubser (2013-04-26 16:57:42)

wvdial might also be a workaround, if one does not like to downgrade. In my case, I had to unset my PIN on the SIM card first. One can do that using a mobile phone, for example.
Then
# pacman -S wvdial
in /etc/wvdial.conf, I put
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Attempts = 3
Init1 = ATZ
[Dialer huawei]
Modem = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ZTE_Incorporated_1_1_Surf-stick_MF19001MOD010000-if02-port0
Baud = 115200
[Dialer voda]
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.vodafone.de"
[Dialer dial]
Phone=*99**1#
Username = umts
Password = umts
You can find out your modem name by looking it up with
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
In my case there were names containing the strings if00, if01 and if02, and if02 turned out to be the correct one. This depends on hardware.
Also, in the "Init 3" line, you may have to replace "web.vodafone.de" according to your provider. The section "dial" seems to be quite universal from what I read on the web, so you may not have to change that.
then
# wvdial huawei voda dial
and hope for the best.
Disclaimer: I do not have a comprehensive understanding of what I did here, but it worked in my case and it might work for you, too.
I noticed that the Defaults section makes a difference, because the one I just edited in above avoids some delay in dialing.

[SOLVED] Openbox autostart no longer working since upgrade

After the upgrade on May 14 2013 my autostart file no longer works. I tried renaming my autostart.sh to just autostart no luck. There is nothing wrong with the autostart file as I can run it manually and it will load all my apps. Also, if I cd to /usr/lib/openbox/ and run openbox-autostart directly it works.

Edit4: Removed everything from /etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart/ directories. That didn't work.
Edit5: Tried installing xorg-xsetroot to let openbox set the color of the wallpaper. That didn't work.
Edit6: Checked the output of "loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID" to make sure that wasn't the issue. Looks okay to me:

Edit7: Tried installing xorg-xrdb thinking maybe that would help and did todays updates. No luck yet.
Edit8: Kupfer still loads even though nothing else does. So I uninstalled kupfer. Same thing though. No autostart.
Edit9: Tried booting into repo kernel instead of ck kernel. Didn't work.

Well, since it worked fine even when called indirectly through openbox-autostart and since it's worked fine for months I figured it was fine. I am happy to post it though. Here you go:

Stuff that needs sudo is in my sudoers as "username hostname NOPASSWD: item1,item2,etc,etc". Nothing too exciting. Seems like if there was suddenly something wrong with my autostart file at least some of the stuff would run either way though cause of "&". Pretty puzzling this issue is.

Bold or Italics no longer works in Mail

When composing a message in Mail, using font style shortcuts no longer work. I've tried everything! For example, in the text of my email message, I select the word(s) that I want to bold, I press Cmd+B and it does nothing to the text. The font stays regular. Alternately, if I style it manually by choosing Format from the menu and then choosing Style, I see that it shows Bold as already being selected with a check mark, but the text still is not. This also applies to italicizing as well.
Thinking that I may have a corrupt Helvetica font, I changed the font to several others only to have the same problem. To test my corrupt theory one step further, I opened TextEdit, typed some text in the same fonts (ones that I know support bold and italics), press Cmd+B and Cmd+I and it works like a charm! No problems at all. I have beautifully bolded and italicized text. What gives?
Then I thought I would check my MacBook to see what folder Mail is reading the fonts from that I have chosen. The settings are exactly the same on my MacBook as they are on my iMac and both machines are happily running Leopard 10.5.5.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this or how to fix such an odd issue? Is reinstalling the Mail app possible or even worth considering? My only workaround is to type what I want bolded and/or italicized in TextEdit, then copy/paste it into my message, even though I can't remove the bold or italics once it's copied in. HELP!

NOW I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS...--> THE FONT!!!
I always use monospaced fonts for email, by preference; it's easy to line up things. The problem is the font. Change the font to something other than what you're using, I just selected Arial and then the italic feature worked!!! Hope this helps!
It isn't about whether it's monospaced, it's about whether the font contains the style variants. Clearly Apple is taking the position of the typographic purist, which means they won't fake a bold or italic like in the old days, they only want to use it if it actually exists.
