System freeze when trying to connect to wireless PEAP network

This is reproducible everytime. May I know which logs I may find to debug this, and also any possible solutions?
Thanks!

Solution - don't know
Logs: in /var/logs
kernel.log, dmesg.log, messages.log, everything.log, possibly daemon.log (contents may overlap between these)
If problem is with X: Xorg.0.log.old
If you use wicd: /var/logs/wicd/wicd.log
There has been a fairly widespread problem the past 2-3 months with untraceable system freezes (screen goes black, keyboard & mouse freeze, requires hard reset) that probably involve a kernel panic (flashing CAPS & Scroll Lock LED's) but nothing is found in the logs. Search this forum, e.g. for "freeze". Example of one thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88594
I've been experiencing this for >2 months, and sometimes suspect that in my case it comes from wlan (using WPA/PSK) which frequently disassociates and then reassociates but I find nothing in the logs. Maddening!

Wireless Printer keep freezing when trying to connect to network

I have a HP Officejet Pro L7780 All In One and it keeps freezing whenever I try to connect it to the network via Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer control panel. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software but it asks for me to connect my network through Wireless Setup Wizard which I can't do. Please help me. This is urgent. Can you please try and use layman (simple) terms when replying as my knowledge on printers and laptops are not that great.

Hi @Zo_e178 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing connectivity issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

[SOLVED]System freezes when trying to suspend

Hi everyone,
I have a hard time to make suspend-to-ram working. Under Debian a
echo mem > /sys/power/state
would put my computer to sleep without any problems. On Arch the same command freezes the system. Both screens stay on and show exactly the same picture as before entering the command, but the system is completely unresponsive and the only way to use it again is to turn off the power and reboot.
I then tried to suspend using uswsusp (s2ram), after installing it as described in the wiki. This yields exactly the same results. I have also tried all of the options for s2ram (-f -p -s etc.) listed here.
My system is as follows:
Arch x86_64
Mainboard: EP43-S3L (Note: the options listed here don't work either)
Graphics card: ATI RADEON HD 5800 (using the catalyst driver)
I suspect that I have overlooked something and that it isn't really a problem with my hardware, as (like I said) suspend worked flawlessly under Debian.
Thank you very much for your help!

Problem solved. Turns out, there was nothing wrong with the suspend process itself, rather it was the catalyst driver causing the trouble.
I fixed this by adding nomodeset and vga=0 to my start-up options in GRUB's menu.lst.
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda6 ro nomodeset vga=0
nomodeset disables KMS which was responsible for freezing my system when trying to suspend. As I found out, it also froze when trying to shutdown or to switch from X to a Terminal.
vga=0 disables the framebuffer. When the framebuffer is activated with catalyst, the system will suspend properly but show a black screen on resume.

Mac G4, OS X 10.4.11 freezes when trying to connect to server

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has advice on solving this issue:
One of the Macs in my small office is a G4, single processor, PowerPC, running OS X 10.4.11. It's a computer we only use from time to time. I needed to use it recently, and when I tried to connect to our server (Xserve, also OS X 10.4.11), using "apple-K", it froze when I selected the volumes to connect to. This has never happened before!
I checked that I had the correct IP address for the server. Could it be an ethernet ID problem? Maybe I need to run the software update? I'm a bit lost here :-/
Thank you!

Hi drdee, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It's quite acceptable to start a new topic of your own, feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, as not many helpers look at Solved/Answered Topics for people needing help, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

Try holding the Mouse button down while powering up, that should oped the CD/DVD tray or eject anything in it.

Ever since I downloaded ios7, my iPhone 4s keeps freezing when trying to connect to wifi. Help?

My iPhone 4s keeps freezing whenever I try to connect to wifi. It either won't even open wifi, and when it does, it'll freeze as soon as wifi is open. I can force quit the settings area, and it unfreezes the iPhone, but it doesn't fix the settings area, which is still frozen. I have come to points when I can connect to wifi, but it only lasts about 30 seconds before dropping the connection. This happens everywhere, even at home, when I'm right next to the router. What should I do?

Try resetting your settings. Settings > General > Reset.
I had this happen shortly after updating and it worked when I reset.
Doesn't delete anything though.

Ipod freezes when trying to connect usb to itunes

It seems i have lost all my music on my 2 year old 5g ipod. Nothing shows up under artist/songs/etc, but in the settings it shows my 60gb ipod having 52gbs used (correct for the amount of music i have had loaded up until this point.
Now when I try to connect my ipod to my imac, I can see the device on my desktop, and can even access the drive, but as soon as I try to open itunes the program freezes up, and i have to disconnect my usb connection (unable to dismount the correct way).
So, im trying to find a solution where i can reset my ipod to its newborn factory fresh iteration. I cant do it through itunes because the ipod doesnt mount properly. Is there a hard reset somewhere? Not a reboot, but a factory fresh reset.
Thanks so much for your help. These boards are so helpful!

Hi
Chicken of the VNC has to be installed on all computers you wish to use VNC on. The application itself, although good, does have a tendency to crash and display the problems you describe. I know Chicken of the VNC free but if you want full VNC capability that does not give you problems on the mac platform then you cant do worse than Apple Remote Desktop.

Zen Touch freezing when trying to connect to USB 2.0 Help plea

I have a strange problem with my Creative Zen Touch 20GB. It freezes everytime when I try to connect it to my USB2.0 controller PCI card. After that I have to disconnect the player and push the reset-button. On my USB . onboard-controller the player works fine, but it's not a problem with the PCI-Card I guess, because any other device like USB2.0 external hard dri'ves and USB-sticks work fine with it.
I have Windows 98 SE installed on my computer.
Can anyone help me out with that problem please?

i had the same problem. drove me nuts............for 6 months. then I got crazy and tried sanding the usb plug ( the male end that fits into player itself. ...............Botabing.....it worked , stays connected now.
May work for you too! oh I used 400 grit sand paper

File system error when trying to connect to a network share

I am trying to set up a BB Curve (9350) to access a network share (Applications/Files/GoTo) and am getting a message "File system error". It does not ask for user/domain/password. I have this working on another BB Curve. When it works, it prompts for User Name, Domain, and Password. Is there a setting on the BES that allows some phones to access the network, but not others?
Thank you.

Sometimes the devices can get pushed additional policies on accident basically, I would call the carrier first so you guys don't get charged for support and have them transfer you over to blackberry tech support. If you have access to the server and the device they might be able to figure out whats goin on.

After reinstall of OS on iBook G4, getting an AirPort error when trying to connect to wireless network

Just erased and reinstalled the OS (Tiger OS X v10.4) on my old iBook G4 so I could give a wiped clean laptop to my young son. At the point in the reinstall process where I Select a Wireless Service. When I enter the correct password for my correctly selected home wireless network, it responds with a message box that says, "AirPort error. There was an error joining the selected network." What now? Should I just select "My computer does not connect to the Internet" so I can get past this point? But the fact is, connecting to the internet is about the only thing he's going to use it for. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh! Please help! All advice welcome...

Thanks for your response, but the initial problem is that I'm still stuck in the set-up process. I can't move past this screen to get to anything else unless I can get it to accept my wireless network password, or I suppose I could go back one screen to the "How Do You Connect?" screen and select "My computer does not connect to the Internet." I presume that might get me past this set-up phase into an area where I could futz around with settings. But I was concerned about disabling something I couldn't fix later (me, not a techie!) by selecting that. What's the consensus? Should I just do that so I can get out of the set-up process? Will I be able to reactivate my AirPort once I'm just in operating mode? I really should be more technically proficient than this...

System freeze when trying to install 10.2 (Jaguar) on a biege G3

I'm trying to install 10.2 on a partition on my G3 hard drive. The machine specs are:
400Mhz G3
384 Meg RAM
OS9.2.2
ROM Id $77D.45F2
When I try to restart with the install CD, the machine freezes completely. The only way I've been able to recover is by removing the backup battery for about 45 minutes. Then the machine will restart in 9.2.
What am I missing? I'm following the 'read me' directions and the on-screen prompts.
Thanks
G3 Mac OS 9.2.x Desktops and powerbooks

Andrew -
Guess I wasn't too clear as to what is happening.
But first, yes I am using a perfectly legal (purchased) copy of Jaguar. And I checked the update criteria - since I don't have an Apple SCSI card, there are no updates for a G3.
Now, as to what happens. When I insert disk 1 and click "install" I get a message that the computer will be restarted and the installation will begin. The screen goes blank. And nothing happens! No restart, no CD activity - nothing. And I can't restart into OS9!
The machine is dead until I remove the backup battery for a while. Then I can restart in OS9, and everything works.
Hope this clears up what my problem is.

HP LaserJet P1505n freezes when trying to connect.

I just got a new router this afternoon (a Linksys WRT1900AC), and suddenly, my LaserJet hates it.
As soon as the printer becomes online, it freezes. You can't print anything, nor do computers recognize it. I can see it on the network map, though.
When the printer is hooked up locally to my computer, everything works fine. Works fine on my old router (a Netgear N900). What's making this happen?
When you first start the printer up, everything is normal. The router picks it up, and gets it an IP address, no problem. Once the printer is done warming up, that's when it freezes. I can open the cover, and it'll still calibrate, but the lights on the front remain frozen. I can't print a test page either (by holding the check on the printer, and through Windows.)
Please help me. I already bought a new router, I don't want to buy another printer.

Hello computerdude100, welcome to the forums
I read through your post about the issues you have been having since changing your router to the Linksys WRT1900AC. From how you are describing it, the printer itself seems okay without the new router, as your previous router setup worked fine and a the local connection to your computer works fine. The hardware is proving out to be okay.
I do recommend contacting Linksys to see if they can configure the settings for you as it is not communicating with the printer.

PST Files freezing when trying to connect to them

We are having a major issue with our .PST files. We are using Configuration Manager 2012 to deploy a new Windows 7 x86 image to all of our machines. The OSD works and it installs Windows 7 and many apps, one of which is Office 2010.
Once we have a new image we then engage the end user who uses that machine. We restore some of their data and we reattach their Outlook to their .PST file(s) which we store on their U: drive. At our company the HOME DRIVE is always U:
When we try to load the .PST file from the U: drive it will freeze and locks up the system. Nothing works to kill the process either. Not TaskMan not even TaskKill from a command line. We have to Hard Boot the system.
But if we copy the .PST file locally and try to attach to it everything works perfect. No issues.
And the really difficult part is the U: drive and freezing is inconsistent. Some users can load up their .PST from the U: drive and some can't. And the size of the .PST file does not seem to matter either. some can open a 5GB file while
others freeze on a 400MB file.
We have upgraded machines to Office 2010 SP2 and that did not fix the issue.
What would cause this behavior? It is a show stopper and I have to resolve this ASAP so any help would be awesome!!
mqh7

Hi,
What kind of drive are we talking about here? Is U: drive a shared network drive?
One thing you should note is PST files were never designed to be a network based solution. Using Pst file over the network might cause unexpected issues.

Invalid password when trying to connect to wireless internet

I have just bought a 20 inch iMac and am having troubling connecting to the wireless internet in this house. My mac address has been added to the administrators network and she has given me the password but it comes back invalid. I am putting it in in lower case, exactly as it is written. I have gone thru network diagnostics etc. but still does not work. I went into Airport Utility but it couldn't find anything and asked me to rescan.
Is there anyone out there that had a similar problem, or can anyone help. At the moment I am using the internet via their ethernet cable in someone else's room, but would like to use wireless in my own room.

If you are entering the correct password, then I can only assume that your MAC is incorrect in the router.
Your Mac has two MAC addresses - one for Ethernet and a different one for WiFI. Be sure that your WiFI MAC is the one added to the router for WiFi

My ipad freezes when trying to connect to WIFI. It say i am connected, but can't access sites

I am using the Wifi in my house and I am connected. The IPad 3 freezes. My phone which is an I phone 4 works fine on the wifi.
What shold I do

You can try clearing Safari and see if that fixes the problem.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data or Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
