Sudden problems from powernow-k8 after kernel update

This morning, after upgrading to kernel 3.4.2-2, powernow-k8 module keeps coughing up errors during boot:

Problems with key shortcuts after kernel update (can't shutdown wifi)

Hi! Sorry for my poor english!
I have 2 problems on my laptop that went out after a kernel update; the first one involves the wireless card (Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01), but I don't think it is important): when I press the key shortcut it switches off only partially, the led remains lighted and with "rfkill list all" i get that is actually only software blocked.
The second problem is about the key shortcut to switch off the screen: even with xev it isn't recognised anymore.
I am pretty sure the 2 problems are related; the latest kernel with they were working is 3.5.6-1, in fact if I downgrade to that version I haven't got any problem.
I have encountered this issue with 3 models of Asus EEEPC: 1015pd (mine), 1215b and 1015cx, (the first two with AR9285, the third with AR9485).
Thanks for the help ;-)

Ok, so after removing catalyst-test and trying to install catalyst, I got the following error:

warning: cannot resolve "catalyst-utils", a dependency of "catalyst"

Automatic recompiling of kernel module after kernel update.

Hello everyone,
i tried to search for it but without success...
my question is - is it possible to set it up somehow that aur package would recompile after kernel update?
The package I would like to rebuild is rt3090 which is module for my wifi card. It is very annoying to rebuild it manually. I know that my fglrx module does it automaticaly but how to set it?
Thank all of you for any advise.

Thank you :-) It looks ok, I will try DKMS as soon as I get some free time. If there was any problem, I would tell you.
BTW: I use catalyst mainly because of saving energy management, which is of course better for my netbook. My card is too new to be fully supported by the opensource driver.
EDIT:
I solved the situation by upgrading my system, I tried in-kernel module rt2800pci. In the previous kernels it didn't work well with my crappy ralink rt3090 wifi card, but that's been improved :-) so I do not need rebuild the package anymore even because this module isn't compatible with newest kernel.
I also learnt how to write my own hook from archwiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio) so if the new module didn't work I would try it.
The final solution = replace module rt3090sta by rt2800pci.
Thanks! Arch has very powerful community :-)

[Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.
When I start the installation of the modules from the GUI, the program just closes. Running vmware-modconfig in the CLI generates the following log file:

Interestingly, after deinstallation and reinstallation the VMWare Player works fine.
Any hint, what's going wrong?

Today, (Kernel 3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Solved (somehow).

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

Hello Adam,
I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

Automatically build kernel module after kernel update

Hello. Everytime kernel is updated, my wifi drivers don't work. I need to use this to get my adapter working: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192cu-dkms/ .
After kernel update, I have to manually reinstall the package, so the kernel module gets rebuilt. Is there any way to make it automatic?

I noticed it, but your script doesn't run at all when I type `mkinitcpio -p linux`. And wifi still works after reboot. Same for graphics driver, it has a hook at shutdown, that rebuilds its module after kernel update, it haven't run too and graphics driver works. It's like 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does nothing to the system.

Lost network after kernel update

Hi
I have lost my network after kernel updating the kernel [2.6.35.7]

Hi,
I'm just reporting that I had this issue today too. I rebooted my computer from Win7 to Arch64 and I was left without network. Also it doesn't work in windows after rebooting back. I thought that It is something with connection so I tried to recoonect cable and also tryied to swap it in switch/adsl gateway. It started working after several switches (not on 1st!) It looks like interface is repeating on and off. So I rebooted to Arch and it stops working again...
I fixed it by reinstalling kernel26 package. But it is strange because it works yesterday, last thing what I did with kernel and modules was update of gc nvidia drivers... I don't know when I updated kernel last time
I'm using same network driver as Karol - r8169
lsmod | less
mii 3826 1 r8169
I'm using this card as well. I upgraded yesterday and I can't get wireless with WICD. Windows and normal network daemon work fine. I use kernel26. What other info can I provide? If a bug report needs to be filed, would it be WICD, kernel26 or other?
Also, I forgot, but I'm not using normal Wicd, I'm using wicd-nogtk from AUR. Krychle, are you using this also?
Edit: I think this has to do with the python update. I updated wicd-nogtk and its good now. I am online.

You can either figure out what carrier it's locked to and contact them to see if they offer unlocking, or you can throw it away or sell it and buy an unlocked iPhone from a legitimate source.

VMware player won't start after kernel update

Hi,
today I've updated to 3.9.6-1 kernel and all went good. So I wanted to start my vmware player to start a vm. Of course I've done the needed steps in the vmplayer wiki page to setup the new headers and stuff after kernel update for vmplayer. Also I've ran "vmware-patch -f" and ran trough. But still get an error when I wanted to start the player in the "/tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-11986.log":

Maybe it has something to do with the last filesystem update?
But I don't know what to do really and couldn't found anything on that.
thanks

sorry, found something now in another thread here. this fix works just fyi:

[Solved] Overheating/fan/sensors issues after kernel updates

Hi all,
I realise there has been a bit of correspondence on this already. I'm after some advice for my specific situation:
1. My laptop is an acer aspire 5315. I has well understood overheating issues that arrise due to BIOS problems
2. Fan control and temperature reporting worked perfectly with kernel 2.6.30, stopped working with 2.6.31 - I assume due to the well documented changes made in that release. The temperature only seems to be read once - at boot. sensors never reports a change after that; if the temperature is cold at boot the fan never get switched on. Unfortunately this happens most often.
3. I tried setting the recommended kernel option (can't relocate the post now). It didn't help :-?
4. I have tried upgrading the BIOS but the distribution from acer is a windows executable (won't run under freeDOS) and I do not have windows installed on this PC (not game to try under wine).
5. I re-installed the old kernel from my pacman cache only to find that my wireless no longer works (fan works just fine though).
I'm now totally stumped :-/
I'd like to update my bios and go with the latest kernel but can't see a way without installing windows.
This might be fixed in an ubuntu kernel release (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/453700) but I'd prefer not to do that switch... perhaps the same fix is coming to arch?
I'd accept having to pin the kernel to an earlier version but neet to get the wireless working.
help...
edit:
I've now managed to get the kernel backdated correctly (so that wireless works as well as the fan) by re-installing the kernel and firmware together.
Have configured pacman to igmore future kernel updates
If anyone has any suggestions on howto update my bios I'd be very greatful.

Hi,
Got exactly the same issue, after running for a while laptop justs goes off... going to try to regress kernel until issue is resolved
BIOS update does sound a bit extreme

"Dirty" sound after Kernel update. [SOLVED]

First of all my sound have always been "dirty" on Linux, like if the speakers/headphones where broken. However, earlier today I configured my sound for the first time on Arch and had a terrific sound! Perfect and clear. However, after I updated, my sound configuration was messed up and now, after re-configuring it, it has this "broken" sound again. Anything I can do about it?
/Richard

So I won't have to re-configure the sound again if I get kernel -8? Like 5 minutes after I got kernel -7 I saw there was a new update but with my recent problem with kernel -7 kept me from updating. My sound works almost perfectly it's just that there's this tiny buzzing sound in the background all the time.
