VMware wont start after latest kernel update!

Okay when i went to reboot it went to boot into arch but wile it was loading the vmware modules it would stay stuck at loading vm communication interface socket family and would just stay there the only way i could even boot into arch was to edit my grub so i could login and at least comment out vmware i tried to reapply the vmware patch fix that was on the wiki and had no luck also tried reinstalling + reapplying patch after words and still no luck I'm hoping this is happening to someone else as well and not just me (mean i know lol) I also tried virtualbox but seems it has it's own mess of problems as well after latest kernel update.

I have tried rebuilding the the kernel image and even tried reinstalling grub with no luck. After not having a usable system for several days I ended up just having to reinstall and maybe found out more about the problem. Using the net install image and a 64 bit install this time making a EXT2 boot and a root partition of JFS right after install I get a panic during boot about how the system can't find a valid filesystem on what would be root partition. Even when passing the "rootfstype=jfs" to the kernel line in grub it still errors out telling me that it is "Bailing out, your on your own. Good luck!" (pretty funny error messages if you are not ripping your hair out). After that I redid the install this time making a EXT4 root partition and everything is working.
It seems to me that this all points to a problem with JFS on 64 bit systems, my other systems are all 32 bit and usign JFS root just fine... can anyone else confirm this?

After latest kernel update Grub freaks out

Out of three machine that I have Arch running on, all have grabbed the latest kernel update, only only of them is unable to boot. Grub does not like something that it is finding here is the error that I get:
Booting 'Arch Linux'
root (hd0,5)
Filesystem type is jfs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/c248a2d9-7fd9-48a4-ad-49-551246f36bee resume=/dev/sda5 ro vga=773
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
Press any key to continue...
I already loaded I live cd to make sure that the uuid of the partition did not change and it has not, also the vmlinuz26 and kernel image are in the /boot directory. Is this a one off problem or are other people seeing this issue, wanting to make sure this is not some kind of bug that need reported. I am going to try just using /dev/sda6 instead of the UUID just to make sure that is not the problem (one of the working machines is setup using this method, the other is going through /dev/mapper because it uses LVM)

VMWARE not working after latest kernel upgrade [SOLVED]

I've done a kernel update and after rebooting VMWare was not working. That's "standard", I figured, because I have a new kernel.
So, I run the any_any patch (as usual) to re-configure the VM to the new kernel but this time no joy
Is there anyone else having the same problem?
The error seems to be here:

R.
Note: Running /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl is of no help either (same error).

You'd rather say "I, myself, me, thinks it works".
Because it does not work for many people, including me.
The modules do build with kernel 2.6.22.X, but the network behaviour using bridged networking is extremely clumsy (used to work fine with 2.6.21.X), and shared folders are a pain in the butt- for example whenever I try to copy a file from the guest to a host shared folder, the guest OS (winXP) comes close to totally freezing, and I have to kill explorer to stop the transaction.
Do you call THAT "works"?
IMO the issues with kernel 2.6.22 won't be addressed before a new VMWare version is out... Until then, yeah... the old version/PKGBUILD works...
I'm close to ditching VMWare in favour of VirtualBox, but a couple of VMWare features (mainly related to low level hardware access) still prevent me from doing so.

Safari wont start after Leopard software update

After updating Leopard to 10.5.7, Safari wont start. I get an error message "Cant load Tastyapps AV plugin." or something to that effect.
What gives? anyone know?

I was using Videobox as a trial version (on the site you have the option of buying or trying for 30 days). After the 30 days it stopped working and I just moved it to the trash. I seems to have left something in Safari however that causes it to not want to start.
Using Firefox i was able to go back to the Videobox site and download and install the trial version again. I was then given the option of installing the Safari plug in which i did. I then went to the Videobox menu and clicked on uninstall Safari plugin. and then i just moved videobox to the trash again using AppCleaner.
So, you should be able to do the same thing. Just click on "download" instead of "buy" on the Videobox site. I'm sorry, I couldnt find the plugin files for manual deletion either.
Maybe you should start a new thread and someone will know how to do that.
Thanks!

Classis not starting after latest Security Update installed

On 8/24 Software Update informed me a new Security Update was available. I installed it and since then OS 9.2 will not start when I try to open an application that runs on that OS. The blue bar goes about 95% of the way across its allocated space and then just sits there and nothing happens. Was not a problem before the Security Update. How can I fix it? I still have several OS9 apps that I use a lot.

before and after using software update you should 'repair permissions'.
to do this goto: applications>utilities>disk utility>select your HD>repair disk permissions
try this now to see if it helps...

Microphone problems after latest kernel update

I just updated to the latest kernel version this morning, and have immediately found some problems. When I try to do voice chat on Skype, it does not pick up the microphone input at all. Testing further, I found that the microphone input works just fine elsewhere.

try enabling the 'capture' volume control in your volume preferences. i noticed yesterday when trying to use skype that the microphone volume control no longer worked as it used to. but using the capture volume control has things back as they should be.
note i'm using gnome as my desktop interface.

The Sims Game won't start after latest OSX update?

Hello
Ive tried so many things but my problem just don't get fixed!
Yesterday I updated my MacBook Air with the new OSX 10.8.4 Update, since then my Sims 3 is not working no more!
I tried a lot of things from the view that Sims was the Problem, but since this Problem accured just after I updated my Mac System, I figured it has to do something with the new Apple Update!
When I start my Sims all I see is a Black Screen, It wont react unless I end with cmd/esc.
I tried a lot of things and it just won't help anything.
I reinstalled the Sims and it just doesnt show any process.
I would be so glad, if sb. could help me and know why my Sims Game is acting up so much, since the new Mac OSX update.
Maybe the Sims and the new Update is not compatible with each other?
Somebody help me please! Thank you very much!!!

Boot into the Safe Mode and try to open it.
Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

MacBook won't start after latest OS update ("Possible memory corruption")

I am running a late 2009 MacBook, 250GB, 4GB ram. I have just updated the OS (standard, regular update), iTunes and an older iMovie update. I made the necessary restart, and begun using iTunes. After 5 minutes, it crashed, and when turned back on, the startup apple logo screen was filled with command prompt code. The only thing I can do, is to force it to shutdown. At the top of the command prompt text, it now says "possible memory corruption".
Latest update: I am now met with a black screen every time I turn on - the "sleep" light is on, but that appears to be all that's happening.
Help!

Do you have any 3rd party memory modules installed? What system did you upgrade from? What MacBook module do you have, i.e.
Check the memory modulds to make sure they are securly seated and try again. If you have 3rd party modules installed remove them and leave just the original Apple modules and try a restart.

Blackberry torch 9810 wont start after blackberry protect updated

got alert for blackberry protect update and installed up and went to reboot now . now my blackberry torch 9810 acts like it is restarting and will not come back on. need help asap!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you able to restart your device in safe mode as shown in KB17877?
I assume, since it's caught in a reboot cycle, when you connect to the Desktop Software it doesn't take a stable connection to reinstall your software?
If that is case, remove your battery and keep it out when you connect to the Desktop Software. You will get a pop up that the device can't connect and there should be Retry, Update and Cancel buttons. Select Update and you will then be able to reinstall the current device software version.
When the load is progressing, you will see a step that says "Wait for device initialization". At this point, insert the battery and the reload should complete.

Apple mail wont start after Mountain Lion update

Hi,
After the upgrade to Mountain Lion, Apple Mail is not working, it will hang and in Activity Monitor will display "Not responding".
Doesnt anybody knows how to repair this?
Best regards

Sorry for the delay. I mean a new user profile. Go to preferences / users / +
After that I restarted the computer and used this new profile to link my email account and iCloud. And copied all my files. Luckily most of my data is in an external hard drive. A particular time consuming task was to rebuild my iTunes library.
This I is a major internvention and I wouldn't have done it if I could had avoided in another way. It was impossible to work not only te email and address book but the whole computer crashed very often. I noticed that other users didn't had this problem.

Portege Z930-118 wont start after BIOS update

my PORTG Z930-118 failover and wont start after i upgrading in middle of upgrade i remove power and press shutdown bottom after that i see the power and wireless but screen still black ?
Any help please

Hmmmm.... BIOS upgrade interruption has screwed up BIOS and thats the reason why your notebook doesn't start properly. BIOS is damaged now.
In such case you need professional help by authorized Toshiba service provider.
On this forum you can find many threads about similar problems. Some people have tried to fix this alone and if you are interested to read how one other forum user has fixed it check please this thread.
Ayway, you can contact nearest Toshiba service, explain the situation and ask for help.

IBook G4 won't load after latest security update, repair doesn't work?

Hi I had the same problem as someone else in this forum:
"Last night I saw that my ibook G4 wanted to do a security update. I told it to do it, and the ibook has not started since. It reset itself after downloaded, but it just stays on the booting up screen, never actually booting up so I can use it. After about two hours of trying to boot up, I turned it off, and on again, and it still wont boot.
I really need suggestions as how I can fix it. Thanks

HI,
Ok... you need to boot from your install disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
If you have the original hard drive in this iBook, it was probably a 60GB drive? When you can do this, check to see how much available disk space there is.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.
Carolyn "
I tried restarting it after the repair (there were some things to repair and I tried to repair twice just to make sure it didn't miss anything) but it still won't load. It says its starting the OX system, but when the blue bar reaches the end, it doesn't do anything from there. I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. My mousepad still lets me move around the mouse, the caps lock key still lights up, as the num lock key. I tried safe mode but that won't load either...any other suggestions?

*" I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. "*
Your iBook needs to go in for repairs.

Problems with catalyst on latest kernel update [SOLVED]

Hi, after the latest kernel update, I haven't been able to install catalyst. I was using catalyst-test, which is outdated now. And with this new kernel, the driver is not working anymore, so I'm using vesa driver for now.
I'm trying to install the current catalyst package through yaourt, and I get a conflict. The conflict is with catalyst-test which I can't uninstall because of this:
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: google-talkplugin: requires libgl
:: lib32-libgl: requires libgl
:: libreoffice: requires libgl
:: libva: requires libgl
:: mesa: requires libgl
:: mplayer: requires libgl
:: qt: requires libgl
:: wxgtk: requires libgl
:: xine-lib: requires libgl
:: xorg-xdriinfo: requires libgl
If I try to remove these packages, I get more dependencies unsatisfied...
The solution I can think of is start uninstalling every one of these packages from the unsatisfied dependencies, write them down, and reinstall them once I get the ATI driver correctly installed again.
Any other ideas on how to fix this?
System:
Linux hoth 2.6.38-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 6 22:49:29 CEST 2011 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Videocard:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
Also, everytime I try to reinstall catalyst through yaourt, it downloads the executable from ati.com. Is there a way to avoid this and check if downloaded version is up to date instead of downloading it every time?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: Ok, I used pacman -Rdd catalyst-test to remove the package, now I'm trying to install catalyst...
