Two problems with recent kernels - KMS resolution and fan speed

Two issues have arisen since kernel26-2.6.32-6. One is that that the boot process and all consoles only use approx. two-thirds of the screen, with the correct console font - as if the resolution is being detected as 800x600 rather than 1440x900. The other, which may or may not be connected but also cropped up in that upgrade, is that my main laptop fan jumps to 100% speed near the start of booting, and stays there. Downgrading to 2.6.32-5 solves both problems, which persist through to 2.6.32-9. (That I normally boot into a custom kernel which I haven't bothered upgrading is why I've not tried to pin down the problem(s) until now.) Any ideas of what might be going on? I've got an Aspire 7730 with an Intel Mobile 4 chipset, using i915.

Returning after another gap, still relying on a now-fairly-old kernel...

This seems plausible - unfortunately, I don't have access to any external device to check directly what's happening - where should I look in logs or the file system to see what's happening?
under i915, you have to pass to the kernel: video=VGA-1:off
or whatever the display is.
This, and VGA-0 or 2, make no difference.
about the fan thing, if you can bisect that and report the commit that actually breaks your fan, they will probably fix it for future versions
I've tried and failed, and so have resorted to posting a rather unhelpful bug report - http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19017

Two problems with custom kernel

I get two problems with my custom kernel that is not using initrd and otherwise working fine:
1) initscripts does not print anything, i.e., I see the kernel messages and after a short while the login prompt. It seems to start the daemons, however, since my network is working. During shutdown the printout is working as usual.
2) the machine does not power off properly (just hangs/stops after saying that is now powers off).
I am missing some kernel options? Or do I have to configure something differently for not having an initrd?
Thanks, CC

ccom wrote:I now re-compiled with Arch Linux's default settings (except for SCSI, SATA, and filesystem drivers built in) and noinitrd in GRUB. I get the same two problems. What is initrd doing that I missed?
how about display drivers? are you compiling them in the kernel or as external modules?

Two problem with the DNS (hostname order and slow internal DNS)

Hi,
First I'm sorry for my english,... So I've two questions which I cannot solve by myself.
1/ I configured two DNS as primary on my Xserve one .com and one .ch. For the same name : example.com and example.ch. I defined a mail server, my second Xserve.
If only my example.ch is configured on my DNS server my hostname is mail.example.ch, working fine with my specific MySQL software. But if I add the example.com to my DNS Server, my hostname is changed to mail.example.com !
And that I do not want ! I need to keep my mail.example.ch. How can I fix my hostname to the .ch ?
2/We have an Xserve with two Ethernet cards (for the NAT) and we have a DNS server on this computer. When I use the Xserve for DNS Server on the remote computer network preferences the internet is working but very slow to resolve the DNS. I think the problem is from the catching DNS system, but how I can disable that or speed up my internet connection ?
Regards,
Florent

Thanks but my DNS is working fine now. My last
problem is my hostname.
Have a look in /etc/hostconfig. HOSTNAME defaults to -AUTOMATIC- which resolves by firstly trying reverse lookup on its IP - the first return from this will be adopted. If you have 2 PTR records for the IP then it may be resolving to the 'wrong' one. If this is the case then you could either...
1. Remove one of the PTR records, or
2. Edit /etc/hostconfig, replacing with HOSTNAME=mail.example.ch

Problems with New Kernel regarding mouse and random shutdowns etc

After upgrading to kernel 3.2.1-2, my computer has shutdown a couple times. They "normal" shutdowns as in I will press the shutdown button in my de and computer actually shuts down. Also a couple times when turning my computer off i will have to reboot because my laptop touchpad is not working. going into a tty i do rmmod psmouse and it will say the module is not loaded, loading the module makes no difference. The last few updates I have also had regressions with my wireless. By default arch blocks my wireless and in rc.local I have rfkill unblock all, but this lately does not always work. I have been manually loading the ath9k driver. My laptop is a gateway nv79c, intel i5, onboard graphics, 4 gb of ram. My wireless card is an atheros ar928x. To be clear, the mouse problem and shutting down has started since updating to 3.2.1-2. Yes I know the kernel was just updated today but I have been using my laptop a lot today.

I seem to have the same problem. The sound would play in some programs, would not in others, and in all of them when I stop playing, it would repeat the last half second endlessly. Could anybody shed some light on this problem?

Problem with recent Acrobat Standard subscription and opening up PDF's

After doing a 1-month trial for Adobe XI Pro, I completed online purchase yesterday (11/8/14) for annual subscription for Adobe Standard.
And now I can no longer open or read any PDFs on my computer. A prompt comes up that trial period has ended and I need to subscribe (which I have done). I did not expect this and am very frustrated. Is there a lag time for processing the subscription, or is this something related to updates of older version Adobe? I have Windows Vista.

Hi create shortcut,
Acrobat XI isn't supported on Windows Vista, so that could be what the problem is (see Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro). Although, it sounds like you were using Acrobat Pro XI on Vista, is that correct?
Your subscription is indeed, active. So, you should be able to simply sign in and use Acrobat Standard (but know that Adobe can't support any technical issues that might arise when using it on an unsupported OS).
Best,
Sara

Two problems with kernel26-2.6.39.1-1

hi,
I just upgraded system, and i found two problems with kernel26-2.6.39.1-1
first one is that i cannot use "reboot", the screen was black.
second, i cannot use " openconnect" to connect the vpn. and the error is
CSTP connected. DPD 30, Keepalive 20
Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "ipid" is a garbage.
Connected tun0 as XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, using SSL
Continuing in background; pid 1661
DTLS handshake failed: 2
after i downgraded the kernel to kernel26-2.6.38.8-1, both problems were solved. so, i think, there should be something wrong with kernel26-2.6.39.1-1

thanks for replies.
" poweroff" was ok. but "reboot" didnt work (kernel26-2.6.39.1-1).
after i run "reboot",
the xorg was first killed,
then some words showed on the screen line by line,
finally, as far as i remenber, it stopped at "waiting for XXXXXX" or "XXXXXsignalXXXX".
im sorry i forget the exact words. but i think they are the last words we can see if we run "reboot"

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
Issue 1: iTunes Match
Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!
No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s
Latest iOS 7 on iphone 5s
Latest itunes 11.1.5.5
Running Windows 7 (good comp)

I'm having a problem with downloading multiple app updates and moving songs between iTunes and my external hard drive.

I'm having two problems with iTunes, but I'm not sure if they're related issues. First, when I try to click "Download All Updates" for apps, only one update will download and I will get successive error messages for all of the other updates. However, if I click update for each individual app, they download fine. Why am I not able to download all app updates simultaneously now.
My second issue is that I cannot move songs from iTunes to my external hard drive or vice versa. When I drag the files, the blue plus sign appears, but the file does not appear where I moved it to.
Both issues have been occuring for about month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.

Problem with installing Photoshop elements 9 and adobe support advisor

Hi, I've received a graphic tablet with 2 programs: the first has been downloaded and works perfectly while the second, PSE9, has been giving me problems for at least a week!
I downloaded it and now I have a winzip file full of strange things (one of this is set up exe which tells me that I have to install adobe support advisor) and two files which said 3DF.tmp and PSEP9(1).zip.download and if I try to click them they tell me that I have to find on the Net the program to open them because I can't. And I don't know which program is required.
I tried a lot of times to download the adobe support advisor, I have enough space on my disc and my farewall is deactivated, but when the program begins I saw this annoyant message
cpsid_82829s5 Missing installation file bootstrapper error occured
with this code for a support from adobe 00-67325-032018052012
I unistalled it and retried, but nothing.
Please, I just want to use my tablet with the programs which are comprised in the package, why it's so difficult to download this damn photoshop elements 9????????????
Thank you

In the error message it doesn't tell me
"Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again,"
neither "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
and I have enough space and I have Windows xp then I should be able to install it. I tried to unistall and install again the support advisor but nothing. I'm desperate.

Two Problems with iPod Nano!

Hi Community!
As I have already written in the topic, I've got two problems with my new iPod Nano:
1) I charged the iPod over USB 2 and my dockingstation already about five hours, but the red sign and the message that I don't have to disconnect my iPod is still there (battery status shows full)
2) With the docked iPod my computer doesn't boot anymore. When I disconnect the iPod it works :-/
THX for helping me!
dynAdZ

Thank you for helping me with my problems, but I still don't know why my iPod gives me this message, altough it is fully charged. And the flashing warning symbol drives me nuts
Mhh I didn't find an image for that symbol... It's a red circle which is crossed. The manual says that there should now be a green symbol, or just the menu...??

Two problems with audio clips

Hello,
I'm having two problems with audio clips:
1. When I try to drag a clip from the viewer, I can't do it because it won't let me drag the clip. It only lets me drag the pointer around within the clip.
2. When I drag an audio clip from the browser into the timeline I don't get any audio, just a series of beeps (and yes, my audio media is on-line -- I can listen to it in the viewer, just not the timeline).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

1. Drag the little hand on speaker icon to drag from
the Viewer...
Thanks! (Does it actually say that in the documentation anywhere? I try to RTFM, but the FM seems to be a little, er, mute on this point.)
2. It means your sequence settings don't match the
properties of the source audio you're putting in it,
and you either need to change the settings in the
sequence, or render the audio.
Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!

Two problems with SB X-Fi

Hello I have two problems with my music card (Sound Blaster X-Fi usb). I have home theater (Laffayete AV2000) and columns with SB squeak and central column don"t work. I have update all drivers i dont now what i can do
Mys pc is Asus G73JH A, Windows 7 64bit

Sorry I don't really quite understand what you are trying to say. But you can try the following method to determine if there is something wrong with the X-Fi Surround 5..
1. Disconnect your speakers system, then connect a pair of earphones to the front, rear, c/sub ports.You can use a Y-Splitter for the Left & Right RCA connectors so that you can connect the earphones.
2. Play a music file and listen for any squeaking noise.
3. Repeat this for the rear and c/sub ports.
If you think there is anything wrong with the usb sound card, please feel free to write to our customer support.

Two problems with iTunes (permissions issue?)

Hello,
I have two problems with iTunes. I am not sure if they are related that's why I post them both.
1) iTunes doesn't delete apps after updating them anymore. This is happening since the (two?) last versions of iTunes and is the same with 10.5. The reason seems to be the permissions of the apps. Nearly all have "everyone = custom". Therefore I have to enter my admin password when I try to delete them manually. And iTunes itself cannot delete them on its own, of course. Why is this happening? Why is iTunes assigning such permissions to downloaded apps?
2) I can't login to my account from within iTunes anymore. That is also happening since quite a while. I am logged in (my ID is shown in the top right of the store) but cannot access my account details. iTunes asks for my password but after entering it the login mask appears again. It's not the password itself, it is correct.
Any suggestions?

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.
