Unable to login after system update

I recently installed arch in my lenova laptop. Installation went fine and I updated my system then. Finally I had a kernel 3.4.4-2 and rebooted.
After rebooting, I got the login screen (tty1) . I had not created an user yet. So had to login as root.
So When I enter the username as root and click enter , the password credential request is not getting loaded. After a space of 10 seconds, I am again redirected to login request.
I have never had this issue and I have been using arch for the past 8 months. Please advice

I am still stuck. The other thread that I mentioned was dicussing about adding hook to mkinitcpio because /usr was in a separate partition. That is not the case in my problem.
I rushed to close this thread before resolving my issue. the issue is still persisting. I could not login to the machine at all. And my partitions are as listed below
sda1 - /
sda5 - /home
sda6 - /opt
sda7 - /var/cache
sda8 - swapspace
Again, I couldnot login once after updating the system. I could login before. Please advice

  • Lack of 3g after system update

    Hello :-)
    It's problem with Xperia E dual
    Few days ago I updated the system to the 4.1.1 version (compilation 11.3.A.1.39).
    Unfortunatelly after updating I've discovered that smartphone don't works with 3G. On the display I've only icon "E". Before updating there was typically "H". Of course now the transfer is slower than before and of course I'm not happy of that.
    I try to solve this problem - choose in menu list of available provider and... there are only 2G nets. Because I've functioning still in the same place of live and the problem has occured after the updating I'm sure that it's strictly connected.
    Is there any solution for that?
    Another problem is with trying to call. After system updating typically twice a day I have to restart smartphone because it's totally hanged. No one can connect with me and I can't call to anybody. Smartphone looks normally and doesn't give any siglan that something is wrong. But when I try to connect to somebody I direst the number and... there is no signal at all. After few seconds telephon return to main menu. There is also no record about this trial of connection in the list of done connections. It's very uncomfortable situation.
    Sure, there are also some adventages with the system updating but problems mentioned above are really annoing.
    Have you any solutions for it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Be aware that this will erase phone data completely, backup if necessary.
    Before proceeding with software repair, confirm with your Network Operator that there is nothing wrong with the network. Also, remove and reinsert SIM card and try again (have a close look at the contact surface, ensure that it is relatively clean).

  • Unable to login after 10.4.11 update

    Software update downloaded the update for my G4 powerbook and I went ahead and loaded it as I had had no problems on my G4 700Hz angle-poise iMac. After the reboot I tried to log in but the log in box just shuddered (as in you got your password wrong).
    I tried again, I also tried another account on the machine, still no luck. basically I can't log in to my Powerbook. The the two accounts use filevault if that is of any significance, unfortunately I have no non filevault accounts on the powerbook.
    I booted my install disc and ran DiskUtil which found no errors (even permission errors), reset the passwords for the two accounts and made sure that my startup disk was set correctly.
    Still no joy.
    Booting in single user mode shown that the sparse image files are there.
    Any ideas, other than reinstalling?

    No, nothing helped. The problem I am experiencing seems to be different to the rest of the problems that people are having with the 10.4.11 update.
    I am getting to the log in screen but the username and password is being rejected from both of my accounts (which incidentally use Filevault). Resetting the password from the install disk did nothing and the log in box does not prompt me for the master password after three failed logins.
    I can find nothing in my system.log (from single user mode) to indicate a problem, however the crashreporter.log file starts complaining about mDNSResponder from the moment that the mac rebooted after the update. I can find no other reference to mDNSResponder failing in the log anywhere.
    Looking in the crash log all the entries are the same and seem to relate to the web sites I was browsing in safari when the update was installing, and if I recall just at the end of the installation safari crashed on me.
    Perhaps there is something in this although I don't see how there are related but they do all tie together. Here is an example crash reporter entry for the mDNSResponder, they are pretty much identical and again there are none before the reboot after the update. Just how this stops my logging in I don't know.
    Is there a mDNSResponder cache of some sort that I could clear out?

  • Unable to Reboot After Software Update - Unable to Reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10

    Hello,
    I just bought a Macmini 9 months ago, and I believe I may need to either erase the HD to reinstall the original Mac OS (10.4.10) or else replace it. However, I am not familiar with Mac and don't know how to reformat the disk. Can anyone help?
    Each time there is a software update, I experience problems starting up from the HD. After the last update a few days ago, I am unable to start up from the HD at all. I tried using the original install CD 1 to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10 with archiving. However, I received an error saying "unable to install because there is a newer version already installed." Therefore, I tried to start up from the HD again by pressing Option key at startup, but the Macmini continously turned off by itself without rebooting. I tried reinstalling Mac OS with the erase option, but it failed. After that, the Mac OS install CD1 only gives me the option to reinstall additional applications, but when I select continue, there is not HD shown to install the applications.
    Disk Utility First Aid on CD1 was unable to repair the disk. I received the following messages: "Invalid sibling link", "Volume check failed", "The underlying task reported failure on exit", "1 HFS volume checked", "1 volume could not be repaired because of an error."
    At the bottom of the page under Disk Utility, the following information about the disk is available. Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Capacity: 111.5 GB (119,690,149,888 Bytes); Available: - ; Used: - ; Number of Files: - ; Owners Enabled: - ; Number of Folders: - .
    System Profiler is able to identify type, disk identifier, file system, etc. It shows the volume supports journaling, but is not journaled.
    Scan Image for Restore shows Library_Preferences (Empty), and Root applications are all grayed out.
    I performed the Apple Hardware Test (ver 3A129) by pressing D at startup. The test ran for 5 minutes and 6 seconds. It reported "No trouble found".
    It seems the HD is empty, but the install CD is not offering any options to reinstall the OS, only the additional applications. I believe it is a partition error, but I am not familiar with Mac and hesitate to proceed any further.
    How do I reformat the disk so that I can reinstall the original Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5?
    Your help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

    Good news!
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • After System Update keyboard doesn't work -MacBook

    Here is what happened and I was able to fix, someway... but not definetly.
    I updated to Snow Leopard and everything was fine. After I launched System Update to finish the update, I installed a few ones then I rebooted.
    At the login I realized that some of the keys didn't work anymore. Namely
    0 = P ] ; \ / ENTER
    those what I found.
    With the help of the virtual keyboard I was able to take a look at the log and I noticed that the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDKeyboard.kext was updated just before the last working configuration...
    Luckily I had a bootable backup of the system before Snow Leopard, so I boot from the external USB drive and copied the old AppleHIDKeyboard.kext in place of the new one, that I saved with .bak extension.
    I rebooted and the keyboard was properly working again.
    I think my fix is "dirty". I experienced some slowdowns here and there and I found a log message stating:
    com.apple.kextcache[271] AppleHIDKeyboard.kext does not declare a kernel dependency; using com.apple.kernel.6.0.
    I'm wondering why the keyboard stopped working and if there is a better way to fix it.
    Any comment? (Please)
    All log messages containig "keyboard" follows
    Thanks

    It is never a good idea to mix system components like kext's from different OS X versions. If you right-click on for instance the AppleHIDKeyboard.kext & choose "Show contents" you will see that it is a bundle composed of many individual files. Many of these files contain information about files in other OS bundles. Similarly, other OS bundles may contain info about the files in this bundle. This tells the OS what +set of files+ it can & can't use for various functions.
    IOW, kext's are not self-contained, functionally independent items. When you replace one with one from a different OS version, its info about other files usually won't be right. This can & very often does cause problems. Some are minor but others can cause progressively greater problems, eventually damaging the OS enough that it becomes inoperative.
    So, your fix is almost certainly "dirty."
    It's also not addressing the source of the problem. There is nothing wrong with Snow Leopard's AppleHIDKeyboard.kext file (version 1.2.0). Snow Leopard works perfectly well with my & thousands of other users' MacBooks. The cause of your problem could be many things, but this is not one of them. If you can accept that, there are several things you can do to find the cause, starting with running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it finds up any problems with your MacBook.

  • BannerMaker not working after system update.

    Hello all,
    I am not trusting Apple now for system updates anymore, because the last couple of updates, after updating my system software, I have problems. I never have these issues with Windows.
    Getting to my point, I use BannerMaker (an app created by some Fed agency that I had found googling because Apple doesn't support it as standard, and Windows already had this for years to comply with DOD requirements) to use for a login warning legal note, etc. This goes on to the login window only when you disable the icon/name login. I was in the process of updating it and it told me that the loginwindow.plist wasn't found. I found it on the Spotlight, but I had no way of changing it.
    I should also note that after the system update, the login process reverted back to the icon/name login, which never happened. I always require me and another user to type their username because to protect the user's privacy.
    How can I get BannerMaker to work again, or how can I get into that file so I can change it and I also want to know if other users had their loginwindow settings mysteriously affected by the update?
    I am really disappointed by the lousy updates that paralyzes my security and other issues with previous updates, which I won't get into. I am disappointed with Apple right now.
    Steven

    I had a feeling that was going to happen. Well I just don't have the patience to do that. Apple needs to go onto the Windows system that you could delete specific updates rather than reinstalling the system software. And I also don't like how updates affect work around apps, how they close them down because they are not authorized software. I need a secure system, and Apple won't let me. **** to screw with them, I might just give my mother my MacBook and I go get a Windows notebook. I had nothing but problems since I got this MacBook.

  • Safari hangs after system update

    My safari v 5.1.7 hangs while trying to open iys homepage (ie. Yahoo) after a system update.  Currently system version is 10.6.8
    I have tried various methods such as emptying cache, reset safari and update DNS Servers in the Network. And none works.
    Please help

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • My iPad will not sync after system update and returns message that my computer is no longer authorised.

    Please help me sync my iPad as it is not able to sync after a system update.  Several messages 1. Computer no longer authorised and when I reauthorise it it prepares to sync and then it tells me my iPad cannot be written to,

    Hi leefromwoodford,
    The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Specifically -
    Transferring purchases
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
    If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
    Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
    You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
    Download past purchases

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can't boot after system update: unknown filesystem type

    After running a system update, including updating the kernel, I can't boot to the new kernel.
    On booting, grub loads the kernel image, runs/loads udev, but then fails to mount the root partition with error:
    mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'
    I have tried reinstalling the 'linux' package via packman several times, also trying the --recursive argument to make sure all my dependencies were there, and after days of googling and tweaking my system, I'm at a loss.
    Thank goodness I happened to keep a spare kernel laying around in /boot.
    Thanks in advance.
    Last edited by jackrabbit (2012-03-22 23:25:28)

    The OP can read their partition initially though, it's only after udev that they can't.
    Also, try adding "rootfstype=ext4" to your grub kernel line. Is your /boot on a separate partition or part of your / partition?

  • Xperia z1 Problem AFTER system update to latest software 14.3.A.0.681

    Hello people, First of all let my just say that I am new into the ''smartphones world'' so please excuse my queries if they proof to be 'obvious' to you! I have carried out a system update to my Xperia Z1 phone yesterday (Android 4.4.2. kitkat, latest available software 14.3.A.0.681). The update seem to have been correctly performed. However I have since encounter the following issues/problems with my phone and do not know how to fix them: 1) First of all my phone will no longer rotate...why is this? Is this related to the update?? Pictures/photos can no longer rotate and also phone screen does no longer rotate! Why is this..? 2) Second the 'Notifications Bar' structure has changed : is this also the result of the update or can I do something in settings to fix it and make it as before? When I scroll dawn the notifications bar, the icons are no longer displayed at the top line but are instead spread underneath BUT this is AFTER I press 'Quick settings'. 3) Battery signal icon has changed completely: no lines included inside icon to show usage but instead usage %age is now displayed. Also, when I charge my phone, there is no icon flashing as before and now lights flashing.. 4) Also when I want to use the phone after it has remained unused for sometime it states 'swipe to unlock' and makes a 'funny' note upon performance of the act: this was not the case before.. Can you please help me with the above? I am freaking out because I am excited with my new phone and would love to make full use of it properly but it is a bit hard for me since I have no clue how to fix issues/problems appearing every now and then since I am new into these things.. Thanking you in advance

    Hi there,
    I think you have fixed your 1st issue.
    2) Yes, Kitkat has changed the Notification Bar structure. Its a bit annoying, but to get around it you can use Widgets - Tools and select the Icon, such as WIFI to be placed on your home screen to avoid multiple clicks. You cant do anything in the settings to make it like before.
    3) Battery Signal Icon - Again a Kitkat update has done that. The good thing is that it has enhanced Battery life considerably.
    4) I am assuming you are stating about the "sound note" it makes when you swipe in. Thats again a Kitkat feature and you can get rid of it though Sound settings if you dont like it.
    Reality is that Kitkat runs very well on Google Nexus 5. Apart from that it has issues on every other Android power Smartphone out there. I also own a Nexus 4 who recently got upgraded to Kitkat and compared it with Nexus 5. Was not impressed to be honest.
    As of my upgrade on Z1, I have been facing Volume issues. When I play a video the volume is minimized for some reason. Pause and play again and it goes to Normal. I have to reboot it sometimes to play normally. It also takes ages to connect to my 3G provider, whereas previously it was fast enuf. I hope the next upgrade will fix those issues. 

  • Unable to restart after software update 10.3.1.1779

    I am unable to get  my Z10 to restart after this update.
    I have searched endless avenues and have now resorted to deleteing the notifcations for this update when they come in, I have downloaded and installed it, but when asked to restart, my phone stalls on the loading screen forever, the longest I have waited for it to restart is 3 days, with 24 hours of that on 99%.
    I am now the but of all phone related jokes as everyone I know has an IPHONE that works perfectly, but I insist on keeping this awful Z10 becuse I dont want to join their rank....too tink I spent £500 on this when it came out (more fool me)
    It would seem that the general consensus is, I will have to go to the inconveience of taking my Z10 in to a phone shop, were they will send it off to BB for the update to be installed.
    PS; Blacberry's forum is as hard to navigate as the phone is to actually get working proberly.

    This has been the worst software update I have ever encountered. My Q10 is completely unreliable and I am going to switch to another device in the morning. I have restored factory settings and have successfully wiped the app to sync my shared Google Calendars, the z and y keys have swapped on my keypad and the Q10 still turns itself off arbitrarily, wipes all text and phone messages and can't recall what network I'm on or what my home wifi settings are.

  • Problems Opening Outlook 2007 after system update

    Hi,
    I've been running Outlook 2007 on my Windows Vista machine for  few years now. Last week a System update occurred and my machine locked up. I was forced to reboot the machine, and I took the option to "restore PC to last known working state"
    which turned out to be a mistake - The update made another few changes to my system and since then MS Outlook has continually crashed. It's able to download (and delete) messages from the POP server, but when I navigate to the the Inbox Outlook crashes.
    In desperation I've:
    1) I've uninstalled Outlook, rebooted, reinstalled Outlook.
      The same problem occurred
    2) Uninstalled Outlook, renamed the AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook directory, rebooted, reinstalled Outlook.
      Ms Outlook keeps trying to find the pst file which no longer exists.
    I'm guessing, but are there some settings in the registry which need to be cleared out before I can reinstall. If so, where would they be?

    Thanks for getting back to me - and so quickly as well.
    I'm now able to launch Outlook, but when I navigate to any of the folders I get a message that says "Microsoft Office Outlook has stopped working" after which I have to close the program again. This was the original problem!
    The event viewer doesn't give me much more information:
    ID: 6, Application Name: Microsoft Office Outlook, Application Version: 12.0.4518.1014, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.4518.1014. This session lasted 11 seconds with 0 seconds of active time.  This session ended with a crash.

  • [solved] Pulseaudio doesn't detect sound card after system update

    Before a recent system update I had pulseaudio working flawlessly, but after doing a recent system update with pacman -Syu,
    pulseaudio no longer sees my sound card and only displays the Dummy audio device.  Among the packages updated that I can
    remember off the top of my head are the Linux keneral, udev, kmod, instead of trying to roll back my system I figured I would try
    to fix the issue.  The only thing suggested in the Pulseaudio wiki is that a asound.conf directory is overriding the /etc/asound.conf
    file which is not the case on my system.
    Looking at the output from lsmod I can see where the kernel modules for the sound card is getting loaded
    snd_hda_intel 23375 0
    snd_hda_codec 89160 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
    snd_hwdep 6389 1 snd_hda_codec
    snd_pcm 74780 3 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
    snd_page_alloc 7153 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
    snd_timer 19544 1 snd_pcm
    and looking at the output from the ps command I can see that pulseaudio is getting started
    1190 ? S<l 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start
    1195 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper
    but pacmd list still reports this
    0 card(s) available.
    0 sink input(s) available.
    0 source outputs(s) available.
    0 cache entrie(s) available.

    Digging into this further aplay -L gives different output based off of whether or not I ran is as my normal user or with sudo/as root.
