Does your keyboard not work at all or only in X? If your keyboard doesn't work at all, boot into a live CD (so that your keyboard works) and post your /var/log/everything.log. If your keyboard works everywhere but in X, post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
-- edit: If you are positive that you ONLY upgraded your kernel, just boot a live CD and post your everything.log.

Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
Soultion : Please follow steps below
Step 1: Start > run > regedit
Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

After upgrading from it6 to itunes7 my videos doesn´t work

After upgrading from itunes6 to itunes7 my videos doesn´t work. Theres no error message, no reaction. all the music play like befor, only my vids (quicktime), all!! the vids doesnt work after updating..i hope, that someone could help me..
Many thanks
Cross

hmmmm. let's try checking to see if they will still play in your current version of QuickTime.
in itunes, right-click on one of the videos that is causing the grief, and select "Show in Windows Explorer".
right click the icon of the file in the Explorer window that comes up and select "Open With ...", and try to open it with your QuickTime player. does it play there or do you get funny business with that too?

Huge memory leaks after upgrading from kernel 2.6.38(?)

My system began leaking memory some months ago and I've little to no idea what is causing it. The closest hint I can give is that I think these problems started around upgrading from Linux 2.6.38 to 2.6.39 and have continued with 3.0 aswell. Sometimes my whole system freezes due to extensive swapping (HDD usage led stays lit), sometimes it stops after consuming almost all of my 4 GB RAM.
I think the leak has to come from inside the kernel because all sysmon apps claim no application is eating too much RAM yet the system memory consumption is at 100 % or even using swap. Even after I kill Xorg the memory usage will stay at least at 2.0 GB, when it should be less than half a gig.
I'd like to guess the blame is on Nouveau, because it was giving me a hell of a time back with Linux 2.6.39. It had a habit of freezing my system when re-enabling suspended compositing (both with Kwin and Mutter). Also video playback was corrupted sometimes. These probs have since been fixed with Linux 3.0.
I cannot name any spesific app that might trigger this memory leaking. I don't play any games and mainly use Firefox, Chromium and VLC day in, day out.
There seems to be absolutely no way of reclaiming the reserved memory than rebooting the whole system. I have even tried unloading Nouveau.
I am currently running the [testing] repo with ~daily upgrades.

OK, this kind of surprised me. No wonder I couldn't find any relevant stuff while googling for kernel issues. I have had Strigi disabled for some time now because it is miserably broken, but I now disabled the whole Nepomuk too. Let's see if my problem now goes away or what...
The release of KDE 4.7 Beta 1 actually lines up with the launch of Linux 2.6.39 so this really might be the case. I moved to KDE 4.7 already with the first beta.

Upgrading from kernel 2.4.32 using pacman

i had to install arch with kernel version 2.4 because of the NIC driver that would not compile under 2.6. now i want to update the system but when i tried pacman -Syu i got a whole lot of ERROR: kernel too old messages. after that kernel would panic no matter what i tried passing during boot. i gave up and re-installed the system with kernel 2.4. what is the best way to upgrade the system and is there a way to avoid all of the previous problems? is it better to first upgrade kernel by itself and than all other packages or the other way around? thanks...
p.s. if i compiled the NIC driver using kernel 2.4 will it still work after upgrading to 2.6?

Pierre wrote:Imho the current Arch version does not run with kernels lower than 2.6.16 (or was it 2.6.9, I am not sure). Anyway: If you want to use kernel24 you have to downgrade glibc and compile (everything) yourself.
i am not sure i understand... is there no way to upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6 using pacman?

Mac upgrade to Yosemite, Adobe Indesign CS5 keyboard shortcuts not working - t for text - z for zoom - v for pointer etc

So I upgraded my MACBOOK PRO (Retina, Mid 2012) 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
to MAC OS X YOSEMITE
Adobe Indesign CS5 generally works with some very annoying bugs.
All major keyboard shortcuts that use a single key command have stopped working. and these happen to be the main ones I use all the time for editing...
t for text
z for zoom
v for pointer
It's annoying because now I have to keep going back to the tool bar to change my cursor selection. It's just slowing me down.
Annoying but workable.
Has anyone else go this issue?
An update or fix would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING!!!
I was contacted by apparently a third party supplier called Adobe Systems via this forum
They logged in to my computer via team viewer
installed utorrent
and proceed to download a cracked version of adobe cs6
in the mean time saying on skype that Adobe no longer has Adobe CS6 on their server.
This seemed very OFF to me and I disconnected the skype (and blocked Adobe Systems) and disconnected TeamViewer
If I wanted a cracked version of Adobe CS6 I'm very capable of doing this kind of thing my self
However I run a business I want to have a legitimate licensed copy of the software running for my staff.
They were offering a fully licensed version of a Adobe Master Suite CS6 with my own unique ID for USD$400
Again very OFF considering the upgrade from Adobe from Indesign CS5 to CS6 is almost AUD$1600
I don't know how they got my email address from this forum but it seems that the adobe forum has been hacked!
you have been warned!

Windows via Bootcamp keyboard/mouse not working???

I have a 15" Macbook Pro and have installed Windows 7 Ultimate via bootcamp with all the correct apple support drivers but suddenly my keyboard/mouse will not work at the sign in screen for Windows at all. Up untill this point I could restart my mac and resign in through the windows partition and easily play my favorite games. Recently I tried signing into windows but at the sign in screen I cannot use my mouse nor my keyboard. Please do not tell me to reinstall windows unless that is the only solution because of data not backed up. Is it a driver issue, how can that be because it worked fine for weeks? Please get back to me as soon as possible!!
Specs:
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB (Raam) 1600MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeGorce GT 650M 1024MB
Software OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

If the mouse and keyboard are working under OSX then it can't be a hardware issue.
You could try:
starting Windows in safe mode to see if the mouse and keyboard work. (Press F8 repeatedly just before Windows starts to boot to bring up the Windows boot menu.) Safe mode loads a set of basic drivers to just get Windows running and no more.
Another thing you can try is unplug the mouse and re-plug it in after a few seconds while at the login window. The USB ports may re-detect the mouse.
Try booting from a Windows PE CD or USB stick if you have one. If the keyboard and mouse work under Windows PE then it's probably a driver issue under your Windows install.
Did you install anything under Windows before this happened?

Keyboard & mouse stopped working

I just recently bought a new iMac i7 2 days ago & installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit through bootcamp. Everything was working fine until Windows installed updates. Now when it gets to the windows login screen, the mouse and keyboard stop working so I can't even type in my password to login.
I've gone through many of the posts here & around the net but nothing has solved my problem. The indicator light on the keyboard & mouse just continue to flash but won't connect. I start up Mac OS & everything works fine so it had to be a Windows update that caused the problem since it was working fine before the updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also want to mention, I'm still fairly new to Mac, as I only used it for video editing in school, so please bear with me if I follow up with ridiculous questions while still familiarizing myself with the new setup.

Hi coolfonz,
for the proper set-up of your keyboard & mouse you'll need to use a wired mouse & keyboard (then you'll have to update the drivers for those wireless probably).

A row from cap to return on Keyboard is not working.

It is for 17' Apple PowerBook G4 1GHZ. I bought it used off craigslist for cheap. The only wrong with it is one row on keyboard is not working from caps lock to return. Other than that, everything is working. Why? Is there a way to get a row on keyboard to work before I go ahead to order a used keyboard replacement off ebay? Let me know and thank you!

About the only thing to try, really, in this case is to reseat the keyboard ribbon connectors, which may clear things up. Otherwise, a new keyboard is probably the answer, though less pricey at this link, or just Google search "922-5776 keyboard" for more options.
Not an easy process, unfortunately, as one finds in the iFixit manual pages for that machine's keyboard, but reseating the connector is definitely the thing to try first.
Not to gloat, but it is trivial on a Titanium model.

Wake on LAN, Keyboard, Mouse not working - PLEASE help!

Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question. I have an Asus laptop that is connected to an external keyboard and mouse. I want to be able to put the PC in sleep mode, then be able to wake it up with the mouse or keyboard.
I've tried many trouble shooting steps, including the enabling of "Power Management" / "Allow this device to wake up the computer" and the enabling of the "USB selective suspend setting" in the power options. None of which
resolved the issue. When I enable the "Allow this device to wake up the computer" in the Keyboard, mouse, or LAN adapter, the option does not stay selected after rebooting. Does anyone know of a solution, or can point me in the right
directions?
TIA,
George

Keyboard/Mouse not working

Hi,
So I installed Bootcamp and Win XP on my iMac i5 quad core and during the driver install process (after putting in the Snow Leopard DVD) a few windows popped up asking for the location of drivers for new hardware. The DVD didn't seem to know where they were, and I couldn't tell the install to search the internet as the wireless drivers had yet to be installed. And when it was done neither the keyboard or mouse will work.
I thought to try re-installing the drivers but with no mouse control I can't activate the install procedure.
Please advise.

Yeah... I've fixed it! Well so far so good.
Unfortunately I had to re-install the dirty windows product again! Basically as you described how 'The DVD didn't seem to know where they were' and you selected cancel. This seemed to be the problem. I'm guessing by selecting cancel, the install hasn't finished properly and therefore left the usb ports disabled. The second time I followed the 'found new hardware' windows. It seemed to struggle to find the cirrus audio driver (part of the ATI card). But after searching the dvd a few times it found it.
After reading the apple boot camp install guide it does say 'important: Do not click the cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.'on p10. But it could be made bolder with large red type, since this causes a show stopper.
By the way to do the re-install I had to get the windows xp disc back in the drive which involved getting back into SL. Once you've got the windows xp disc back in the drive, you get the 'select any key to boot cd...' Reinstall on the same partition (bootcamp) as before and reformat the drive.
Hope this helps
