Wireless USB doesn't work in Arch, but works in Ubuntu.

Hello. I've had Arch installed (including wireless) on my laptop for about a month, no problem. i just followed the guide and it worked. When I tried to do the same on my desktop, wlan0 don 't show up. That's it, it's not there according to arch. The loopback interface and my build in ethernet (eth1 I think) shows up, but nothing else. I have a belkin FSD7050. Any ideas?
Oh, it works perfectly in Ubuntu no questions asked. In fact, I'm typing this on a live cd of gOS, which isn't nearly as customizable as Arch .

you sure you got

pacman -S madwifi
then you restarted
and checked to see if you got a wlan?
dhcpcd wlan
ding -c 3 www.google.com
Yes. Just did both. Only eth0 and lo show up. No wireless interface is ever listed.
Edit: If I do a 'lspci | grep -i net', only my ethernet controller shows up. So my belkin adapter is not being detected?

I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My wireless mouse with not scroll in mail but works fine in other applications? Any suggestions?

I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
Any suggestions?

First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
Back up all data.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Charger doesn't charge my battery but works on other Macs? Any help?

So my charger doesn't charge my battery but works on my friends mac. Her charger also doesn't charge my battery. Any ideas? Thanks..

Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you are running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information from the top of the page back here.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
(a) Hotmail directly
(b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
(c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
(d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened
however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
i have already added my system as trusted site
if there any others thing i miss out?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

ivanhoeeurope
Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
13 to 12.
What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Wireless pcmcia card runs badly in Arch but fine in Wolvix (atheros)

I've got some differences between the way my wireless pcmcia card runs on Wolvix when compared to Arch and I'd appreciate any advice on getting it to run better.
Basically on Arch it sometimes cuts out or stalls for short periods when downloading, but mostly it just does not reach the same speeds as I get when running Wolvix on the very same machine (or windows for that matter). It's fine for browsing in firefox, but for any sizable download the difference really shows. Both installations use Wifi-Radar to connect to the internet and madwifi for the drivers.
Ath5k is disabled in Arch, and does not even try to start-up in Wolvix - so it's a non-issue. I no longer have the network module loading at start-up in Arch (I'd been going through the guides for ages going over my config files and then decided to stop using as many of them as possible - and instead just let wifi-radar connect for me using pretty much the same settings as Wolvix, so that as much as possible was the same as in the Wolvix install)
The main difference seems to be that madwifi and wifiradar are both about a year out of date in Wolvix, but are the latest ones in Arch. The output of iwconfig for both installs is shown below. I've highlighted a couple of differences I spotted.
On wolvix:-
root@wolvix ~ # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"FinniX" Nickname:"FinniX"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: 00:0D:88:ED:45:25
Bit Rate:24 Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Sensitivity=0/3
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:AB46-DF38-CDEB-89CA-23FB-67DE-47 Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality=24/94 Signal level=-70 dBm Noise level=-94 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:215 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
and on Arch:-
[root@FinniX ~]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"FinniX" Nickname:"FinniX"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: 00:0D:88:ED:45:25
Bit Rate:5 Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Sensitivity=1/1
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:AB46-DF38-CDEB-89CA-23FB-67DE-47 Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality=20/70 Signal level=-74 dBm Noise level=-94 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:40 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
There are pretty much no differences between the outputs when I give the ifconfig command or for lsmod | grep ath. inet6 is not up as default on Arch and is on Wolvix (I followed some advice I found on a post and blacklisted it on Arch to see if it helped), but running with inet6 either up or down on arch makes no difference to the speeds, I've tried both.
I'm unable to change the Sensitivity of the wireless card (says I cannot change it on this card when I try) and have no idea how to go about changing the max link quality from 70 to 94. Yet these are the only two unchanging values that are different between the wireless set-up of the two installations.
I think the next move is to replace my current version of madwifi on Arch with an older version that matches the one installed in Wolvix, so that both installations use the same drivers for the card to see if it helps. But I'd really appreciate any input on why the same card functions so much worse in Arch than it does in the slackware based Wolvix.

Thanks for the reply Zenlord I've used ndiswrapper before on another PC for a wireless USB dongle, but I never thought it'd be needed for this card since it's proven to work with madwifi in the past. But it might be worth a try anyway.
As for the card, it's a Kcorp KLG-520 pcmcia card. This is the sites spec page for it:-
http://www.kcorplifestyle.com/products/ … LG-520.htm
Under chipset they give these two results:-
RF: AR2112
BB/MAC: AR5212
and in Arch I get this:-
[root@FinniX ~]# lspci | grep Atheros
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)
I'll have a look to see if the other distro gives the same output later.
Edit:-
Wolvix output:-
root@wolvix ~ # lspci | grep Atheros
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

Hello!
I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

Hi there,,,,,
I have Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 installed and Intel wifi 5100 card installed on my laptop. Wireless card does not work in Linux it works fine with Vista, I have dual boot.

I have WEP enabled on my wireless network. It just says disconnected.....
Please help me.....i have been trying to get this thing work for 3 weeks.
thanks.

Firewire 800 port doesn't work for cameras but works for Ext drives

I have a Power PC G5 1.8 running 10.5.8
I have a 9 pin FW 800 port on the back that does not work for cameras, trying to capture video into Final Cut Pro. But works fine when I hook up an external hard drive to it.
Does anyone know why that is? It used to work, now it doesn't. Any suggestions?

Does System Profiler>Hardware>Forewire tell us anything when the Cameras are plugged in FW/800 port?
Do the Drives have an extra FW/800 port to plug the Camera in?

Paypal button doesn't work on Safari. but works on Firefox

I have over 100 pairs of "Add to Cart" buttons on my website. One of each is on the individual item page and the other is on my Order Form.
I have one button that works on the order form, but the identical button doesn't work on the individual page when using SAFARI, but works when I use FIREFOX!
I have recreated the button several times and put it in the proper place several times, saved the changes and republished. Still it doesn't work in Safari!
This must be a Safari issue not a PayPal issue
Any suggestions?

[SOLVED] sed works in arch, but in os x it's different?

Hello, I have a quick question about sed and using newlines.
Say I have a file with one line in it like so:
va.artofwarcentral.com
I want to split each of the parts separated by periods into new lines.
I used sed to do this:
sed 's/\./\n/g' filename
and it works without incident. The output is this:
va
artofwarcentral
com
However, when I try this on OS X I get this unexpected output:
vanartofwarcentralncom
Am I mistaken in thinking that the newline character in OS X is \n ? I have tried several different escape characters, and they all give me back the same thing...it ignores the escape and just prints the character.
So, I guess my question is this: am I doing something wrong or is this something that OS X is doing retardedly? I know this might not be the best place to ask this since it's really more of an OS X question, but hopefully someone knows the answer. I'm new to sed and regular expressions and all that jazz, so odds are I'm just doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Heh, sorry for posting it here.
Anyway, to get around the issue I have just separated it with spaces and used awk to get each word out, which seems to work on Arch and OS X.
So problem solved anyway now.
If you are still interested, there is some relevant information here (see Hal Itosis' post(s) especially):

Summary:
- update or change your version of sed
- use Perl

Videos will not work in Firefox but work fine in windows explorer. why?

I tried to verify my plug-in's and all are enabled. I found where was suggested to remove and reinstall Firefox but that did not fix problem either. I tried to change viewer for videos but still no luck. Not certain why Quicktime doesn't work. Note, videos when browsing will not open but everything else works fine. Videos work fine with windows Explorer, but not Firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Select query not working in Dev but working in QA and PRD

Hi All,
I have a select query with inner join which is not working in the DEV but working in QA and PRD. Anyone has any idea why is it happening, I think it to be a basis issue. Just want to confirm if anyone has any other idea.
Thanks in advance,
Barjinder Singh.

Hi Barjinder Singh,
In development you can't find the records for the table.
In testing system only you can test even the program(report).
If it is the DEV system you can't get the data.
Go and see into the table wether it has records or not(in DEV system).
It doesn't has the records in DEV system.

I can't get Layer Masks to work with PScc but works fine with CS6

When I create a layer mask it shows up properly but doesn't work at all. I have the correct layer selected and I'm painting in black (and nothing happens in white either) and there is no problem when doing exactly the same thing with CS6 so I thought there might be a difference in my settings but I can't see any. My masks are NOT disabled in properties. Nothing shows up on the image nor on the mask. I can however, use the eraser tool as normal. Any ideas?
Thanks!

PLease could you help me too. I have been onto support through several emails and online helps and they do not understand the problem correctly and have not resolved it. I have photoshopcc 2014. If I click on add layer mask icon I get a white thumbnail. That seems ok. I then select a brush - set to normal etc. all ok. Then I attempt to either brush in or out on my photo to reveal or hide bits of layer below and it no longer works.
Weirdly, I noticed it was not selected in channels. So I checked the layer mask in channels and then back in layers it works except now it works by painting on a rubylith (which it did not do before 2014 version) then when I am done if I click apply mask everything works ok and it is done. It just does not work unless I select in channels.
This also happens if I apply an adjustment layer. The adjustment comes into the thumbnails with a mask and the mask is unselected in channels, I have to select and it paints a ruby lith.
If I go to layers in the menu however and select layer mask hide all or reveal all then select my brush it works fine and as it normally did before.
I have tried re installing etc. and every bit of normal advice but nothing works. Can you help or do you know anyone who can. As I am desperate here is my email: [email protected]
thank you
