WWE Thread 2015

Welcome to the WWE Thread for 2015. Here you can chat to fellow WWE fans, get help and advice from the WWE Community and generally share some banter on WWE TV shows and PPV's.
This is the place where all WWE related stuff is, and if you find any posts WWE related please do link the member to this thread. If you get a chance please do visit and comment on my blog about pro-wrestling, it would mean a lot to me.
This is the break down of the WWE PPV's on Sky Box Office. This is always subject to change so keep coming back here regularly.
For those of you that don't have the WWE Network and are looking to Sky+ WWE PPV's rather than staying up, or any other Sky Box Office Event for that matter, you should follow the following screen shots to ensure you don't order to view only and you instruct your Sky+ box to order to record.
First find your event by pressing the Box Office bottom near the top of your Sky Remote Control.
This screen will pop up on on your TV.
Ensure the event you are looking to order is highlighted. Then press the Record button on your Sky Remote Control.
his page will pop up and then all you need to do here is press select
Your Sky+ Planner will then show that you have ordered the event and most importantly you have selected the event to record. If you press the Select button, rather than the (R) Record button you will enable the event to be viewed only which will of course includes any of the repeat showings. All other Sky+ features will be usable during the show too.
Please also remember that if you had a Sky Multi-screen subscription prior to December 2013 your phone line will have to be connected to the box. This is for billing purposes.
A big welcome to you all! Have a wrestling daft year!

My worry is not the picture as my Misc Sports Mode on the custom config on the TV takes the more irritating pixelated aspects out of my picture anyway.Don't have any concerns about the quality.  I've not noticed any reduction in quality on the Network to that of a Sky Broadcast PPV (in fact, I have commented previously, that to me, on my 42" Plasma, the Networks image seems sharper, when I compared a couple of scenes from a free PPV a few months back on Sky Sports) TEOL wrote: What I'm worried about is if the sound is any good as the videos on the front page somewhat shows me that it's going to be in a rubbish 22khz Mono and unlistenable format.Again, absolutely no issues with sound, it's certainly not Mono!   Shows a Dolby Digital / Stereo signal on my amp, albeir not DD5.1 but its absolutely fine and sounds as good as Skys.  TEOL wrote:
What also worries me is if the PPV's are on VOD next day which acts the same as a recording of it as that was the convenience with watching the PPV's on SKY.Finally, the PPVs are available on VOD as soon as they have finished broadcasting "live"  (they may even be available on VOD before it's actually finished, so you can watch it from the start - before the events actually finished, although I've never been awake at 1am to test that!).  Either way, you don't have to wait long and it's an exact copy of the Live version,  not aware of any edits or cuts made to it on the VOD plays.

  • ThinkPad X series shipping thread - 2015 edition

    All,
    With the new year, we start a fresh discussion for members to share their order and fulfillment experiences.
    We are retiring the 2014 thread.   Anyone having an active discussion there can find it here.
    The 2013 thread  can be found here . 
    Here are some common points of frequent discussion:
    How to get a system fast: Buy an in-stock standard configuration from Lenovo or a Lenovo Partner in your area. Customized systems take longer.
    Avoid Credit Holds - ensure that BOTH your bill to and ship to addresses are listed with your CC bank before ordering
    Lenovo will not bill your card until order ships - an authorization charge hold to check for available balance may show up when order is first placed.
    Estimated ship dates are based on default lead time and can vary from what was displayed on website.
    In the US and Canada, Lenovo utilizes UPS for new product shipments
    Orders may ship before the Estimated Ship Date
    Orders may enter through Alaska and pass through Louisville, KY before traveling on to final address
    Cancellation requests may take up to 2 days to process
    Requests to change configuration or other aspects of the order may require the order to be rebooked.
    Lenovo does not accept payment via international credit cards, except AMEX.
    We hope you enjoy your new ThinkPad system when it arrives!

    Order Experience? Here goes ... I ordered a W541 configuration on 2/27 along with some accessories (one of which is delayed until July?*?). The bag and docking station should arrive tomorrow (3/9), and the laptop on Thursday (3/12). On March, I received an email from the <XYZ> employee discount program, and configured the same configuration. Turns out it was about $500 cheaper. I contacted Lenova, and the rep (through online chat) told me to configure the same order and take a screenshot. Well, the mistake here, and it wasn't never mentioned, was that the accessories should not have been included in the second configuration, only the laptop. I tried pleading my case to a couple of reps, even short of threating to kill the employee that lied to me, but they wouldn't budge. Since the deal (email) sent to me ended on Sunday, I can't reconfigure the same deal. To me, that is bunch of bs. Lenovo does not care about honoring anything.  My next question was what is the process to return the laptop. Of course, they will charge me a 15% restocking fee. Perfect. That's great, it's lose/lose for the customer and win/win for Lenovo. Perhaps it was my fault, for not taking the time to find out more about the price matching policy, and taking the word of a certain employee. So, for future reference, only include the item that will be priced matched in the cart!! At any rate, when the laptop arrives, I will take out the drive and ram and replace it. I'll also replace the DVD drive with a second SSD. So it will have 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD space (2 512GB SSDs). I had planned to buy two 28" ThinkVision monitors, but I won't be doing that. I can't justify buying another item from Lenovo, nor recommend their brand to anyone. I'd really like to just return everything, but I'll still be charged ... so, I guess I'm screwed and will just have to make do!This isn't an excuse, but you shouldn't trust sales reps online. Pretty much every company hires the dumbest idiots off the street and doesn't teach them anything except how to look up promotional material you can already see yourself. I have yet to see a competent online sales rep that had a clue about what they were selling.

  • CMS crash with core files and multiple report output generation

    Happy new year to everyone,
    Our BOXIR3.1SP6FP2 env has recently started behaving weirdly by triggering multiple output to users inbox and email notification out of scheduled reports. Also we have noticed the CMS crash with core file (almost 4GB) generation at the time of multiple report output.
    Most of the times, CMC crashes and recycles itself. At few times, CMS services alone went shut down.
    OS details: RHEL 5.5, 32 GB RAM, 8 core processor on each of the clustered node, Oracle 10GR2.4 CMS DB server, 11GR2.4 oracle reporting DB server and oracle 11.1.0.6 client.

    Hi Denis,
    I'm trying my best for the last few weeks to understand the core issue along with SAP however it is still a mystery.

    core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
    data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited

    Below is the observation as part of troubleshooting:
    1. CMS breaks at threshold of 3.9 G.
    2. CMS DB sits in a different Linux server than BOE server.
    3. All core files were generated by boe_cmsd process and are almost 4GB in size (same as max threshold which it breaks).
    4. Shell script which I've added in the BOE servers shows that the CMS DB is available/connecting at the time of CMS crash.
    5. SAP analysed the Core files and skeptical about the below lines.
         #3  0x58687b80 in skgesigCrash ()
          from /opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so
         #4  0x58687e0d in skgesig_sigactionHandler ()
    I'll continue troubleshooting with a hope to fix it at the earliest.
    Thanks,
    Karthik

  • Cannot import users in CUCM 9 when use Domino LDAP

  • WIFI connect only after reboot

    On 4.0.1-1-ARCH, Desktop = KDE 4.14.7.
    Since a recent update, I seem to have a wifi issue with random connections. I thought that was related to the following discussion: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=196584
    But the problem was not solved by the latest update of wpa_supplicant as supposed to be according to the trend.
    I initially tried to review my connection setup manually and ended up with dhcpcd waiting for carrier until time was out. Then I tried automatic connection setup tools such as NetworkManager and eventually wicd.
    With wicd, the symtom I get is just that: every first boot of the day fails and I just have to reboot to get a connection ! Maybe this is an obvious symptom of something but I can't find out. If this talks to you ...
    Here is an extract of /var/log/wicd/wicd.log

    Here are some things to try:
    1. Be sure that Airport is at the top of the list in System Preferences > Network. And, be sure that your preferred network is at the top of the list in System Preferences > Network > Advanced.
    2. Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
    Restart.
    Try airport. Try your network. Try your browser.
    3. Try creating a new location from System Preferences > Network and then deleting the older one.
    4. Create a new admin user account and see if it works from there.
    5. Do a repair install of Sno. Just install Sno over Sno as though doing an upgrade installation. Do all the networking/internet tasks at the end of the installation if possible.

  • Hp touchpad tablet

    I purchased this tablet in 2011, I used it alot in 2011/2012, I now have a need to use it again, unfortunately I cannot update the operating system as it appears HP no longer offers support for this tablet.  Is there anyway I can remove all software and reinstall updat to date operating software.Last software upgrads who HP web OS 3.0.5 Any help would be helpful.  

    It is correct that version 3.0.5 was the last official update for the TouchPad. Android is an option and the TouchPad can run a version of Lollipop (the latest version). It is possible to 'dual boot' & select webOS or Android at start up.http://liliputing.com/2015/04/of-course-you-can-run-android-5-1-on-the-hp-touchpad.html If you wish to continue using webOS and reinstall, you should remember that there is no more automatic back up or official app catalogue so you should make manual back ups. Some tips here:http://forums.webosnation.com/webos-tips-info-resources/329239-your-big-back-up-restore-thread-2015-a.html To reinstall, you can use a webOS doctor. This runs under java on your computer and reinstalls over the USB connection. If your tablet is up to date and running OK, then I'd advise against this, but it is always good to have a copy in case of future problems. You can find the doctors here:https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Doctor_VersionsIf you do this, your tablet will be (of course) unable to connect to the HP servers to activate. A thread on bypassing this step is a sticky post at the top of this forum. It is still possible to use webOS, but you will need to apply 'homebrew' solutions for cloud services:http://pivotce.com/2014/08/22/the-pre-3-and-hp-touchpad-in-2014/http://pivotce.com/2014/10/21/guide-coming-back-to-webos-in-2014-part-1/ HP collaborated with the homebrew community to produce an unofficial update for the TouchPad in 2012. This was called Luna Community Edition. Details are here:http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/About_LunaCEhttp://forums.webosnation.com/webos-internals/317427-lunace-4-x.html A new version of webOS is also being developed by the same team which will feature modern technology and apps. It runs on the TouchPad, but is alpha/testing at the moment. An August stable release should be out soon if you are feeling adventurous.https://pivotce.com/2015/08/06/luneos-cafe-cubano-an-in-depth-look/

  • PlayStation Plus - August 2015 Guess Thread

    Welcome to another PS Plus Guess thread!
    Sorry I was a little late this month, in all honesty I totally forgot (that's what playing Rocket League does to you).
    So first of all, last months PS Plus Guess thread - so many people were able to guess a game correctly due to the default suggestion I include every month coming up a winner. So I won't be mentioning everyone, only those who managed to correctly guess two games. So without further ado a congrats to; , , , , , , , and for all getting 2 games correct.
    I've also updated the PS Plus Points leaderboard, so if you got a game correct you got points added. 
    Now July saw the release of Rocket League on the PlayStation 4, I assume everyone is just as addicted to it as me? Be sure to share some of your best goals, saves or downright embarrassing misses for the whole world to see over in the epic moments thread. We also have our regular Platinum Challenge running all month for Styx: Master of Shadows, so if trophy hunting is your kind of thing, come join us.
    Also there should be a couple more 5th Anniversary competitions running for the duration of this month, to be sure to keep an eye out on the Plus Board.
    And if you haven't already, make sure to tell us what games you would like to see be a part of your PS Plus Instant Game Collection with the thread here. The results will be sent to the team in charge, so your input will make a difference.
    Let Us Begin
    Now if you don't know how the game works.
    The rules are simple:
    You MUST guess all 6 games in one post, further posts are discussion posts and do not count towards guesses, You CAN however edit previous posts (be quick, there is an expiry).
    The Guesses are 2 PlayStation 4 Games, 2 PlayStation 3 Games and 2 PlayStation Vita Games
    You CANNOT guess games that have been in the IGC before as the games won't be added to the IGC twice, Please crosscheck HERE if unsure
    If, in the event there is a leak, it will most likely be posted, however, don't take any leaks as the official word until it is confirmed on the blog.
    So as an example my guess might be;
    PS4: Helldivers
    PS4: Worms: Battlegrounds
    PS3: Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
    PS3: Resident Evil HD
    PS Vita: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
    PS Vita: Scram Kitty DX
    So come on! Give it a go, what are your picks?

    I am going to post my reddit here so I would keep this in mind when you decide your games. It also puts a good clean picture on the indie ps plus matter. / Okay people, I think I figure out how we are getting a lot of indie games on PS Plus and how we might continue or maybe once and for all be limited to indie games on Ps Plus or what not. I know this topic will be very controversial indeed because of the subject matter, and the fact that this is sure to bring a lot of hate onto me and Sony so I am ready to take the fall for it, but I have a few conspiracy theories on the whole Playstation Plus Free Games Lineup of every single month. Now, this may not be all true and everything, but I think it is pretty much safe to say that it is true and what not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Instant_Game_Collection_games_%28North_America%29 This is a list of games that I will refer to throughout the theory mentioning so please bear with me as some of this may very well be true. Now let’s start this list. Also since I am American this is our list, but since yours is pretty much similar to ours, there is no difference really needed. Indie Released on Day One Being Free Summary: One very common thing I see on this list and after a little bit of in-depth researching on the games here, that at least one indie or Triple A Digital or what not (not big game release) that will be free will be a Day One Release. Now imagine that, a day one indie game being free on Ps Plus. I notice the list and at least one game every month in one form or another is a free Ps Plus indie Launch game. The list includes but is not limited to Rocket League, Skulls of the Shogun Bona Fire Edition, Ether One, Monsterbag, Tower of Guns, Aaru’s Awakening, OiiOii 2, Apothen, and more. The thing they all have in common is that they are indie games true, but they are also free, but the biggest thing is that they are day one games that launch on the first Tuesday of the month. Wrap your head around that. Now I will propose that the games on here get a talk from Sony to become free so they can promote their work and get them out there, but I am sure they do it as they are really cheap during this time and this is the perfect opportunity to capitalize on the launch of their game so the indie developers can get out there. Imagine if I made a game for a first Tuesday launch, and I expect my game to be around 15 dollars, and then Sony comes in and say, “we want to promote your game if you sign this paper that allows it to be free to Ps Plus this month.” I would say yes, and I would sign it. It would give me exposure and I would take in the time to improve the game with patches and what not, or a day one if it needed to happen on that very day. This month alone, we got two games that were Ps Plus on Day One of their freaking release. Geo Wars 3 on Vita and Rocket League on Ps4. Last month was Skulls of the Shogun Bona Fire Edition, the month last than that was Ether One on Ps4. I can literally go into a list on how many games were Ps Plus on Day one of their release, but this is a valid theory. I look at that August 4 date and any new indies that get announced for a release on the Sony systems on that very day, if it is, at least one game will be free on opening day. Also, adding to the fact that the day one indies is the perfect chance for a developer if they approve Sony's deal to get out there and show them what they can do, and day ones are perfect in that. Tower of Guns really impressed me and it was a Day one game damnit. Perfect chance right here to get out there. And still, Rocket League really shown that well, and I thought it wasn't going to be. Cross Buy Method!Summary: Here is another valid theory on why we get a lot of indie these days. Now I have heard that certain triple A games on Ps3 and Vita have gotten a cross-buy release, but it works perfectly with AAA Digital, indies, or those smaller games that are made for multiple platforms as the cost of the game is really cheap, like 15 dollars or such. It would allow more games to be on the 3 platforms. In May alone, the PS4 got 5 Ps Plus games because of the crossbuy method that applies to the other systems. Ps3 got 3 games, and Ps Vita got 4. This allows more games to be on more systems, regardless of the cost of the game, because if you pay just one price, you get the game on all systems that it is available on. There has been exclusions like Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes on Ps4 and Geo Wars 3 on Vita but hey who cares. This month a lot Ps4 once again got 4 games, just like the previous month. Vita got 3 games, and Ps3 got 3 games as well. Notice the math here. Sony finds a way to keep the games cheap and all by using the cross-buy method, and it works great. I have a Vita and Ps4, and it is nice to play a game on the Vita occasionally. Race the Sun, Futuredim EP Deluxe or whatever you call it, Mousecraft, Entwined, Unfinished Swan, Counterspy and more are examples of cross buy games. Now funny enough Limbo has yet to be released on Ps4 as a Ps Plus game, but was already on the Ps3 and Vita, and that game could be great in my opinion if it was a Cross Buy game in general to begin with, but you can’t please everyone though. Some games work better on other platforms and what not, like Mousecraft plays better on the Vita in my opinion and feels like a game that should be on the Vita only as it is a natural fit, but I am sure you can get use to the controller on the Ps4 or Ps3 versions. Also depending if the game is made on a similar engine, then the games don’t need to be comprised as they all look the same, other than resolutions of course and what not, as the graphics are similar. More artsy if you want to call it that way. Also, here is another big thing. The cross-buy method could work in conjunction with the Day One release theory that I made to allow the game to be on more systems on the very day of its release. Aaru’s Awakening, Tower of Guns, OiiOii2, Duke Nukem Nuketon Edition are great examples of this. Now another thing to be noted is that a game like Journey could wait at one point until all the platforms or most of the platforms that it can run on are there, and then release it as a Ps Plus game. The biggest part and potential is that if the Day One theory and this works together, then it can bring a lot more exposure of the game to the audiences. Say if you have a Vita but not Ps4 or Ps3, but have Ps Plus. The 6 games are announced, but you think you only get 2 games thanks to Sony’s rule but then suddenly you get 4 games one month thanks to a technically that some of those Ps4/Ps3 games are cross-buy. A big win for you, and same goes to the other systems. I think that says enough on this theory. In May because of this, I got all 6 games, all of them. June, I got 4. I got a Ps Vita and Ps4, and sold my Ps3 when I got my Ps4. In April I got 4 games, I already got Killzone Mercenary prior, in March I got 4 games because of the crossbuy methods, in Feb I got 4 games, and in Jan, well I didn't got Swapper and Duke Nukem since I was new to the Ps Plus stuff. This month I got 5 games. Overall list of games (crossbuy or not) were Infamous First Light, (formerlly on Ps3 Ducktales) Apothen, Kick something, Transatior (need to play more of it), Rogue Legacy, Oiioii2, Vallant Hearts, Oddworld New N tasty (also now crossbuy and will be on Vita one day), Counterspy, Tower of Guns, Aaru's Awakening, Never Alone, Monsterbag since I already own Killzone before the Ps Plus, Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition, Ether One, Unfinished Swan, Race the Sun, Hokokum, Murasaki Baby, Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes, Shogun of the Skulls or whatever the hell you call it, Futuredim EP Deluxe, Super Exploding Zoo, Rocket League, Styx, Geo Wars 3, Mousecraft and Entwined. And if you count the free price game Woah Dave at one point, you can. Many if not all of the games were crossbuy, some were day one indies, and even a few of them were both. I don't own a Ps3 anymore, but if I still have to this day then I would have gotten those games on Ps3 as well. If the two work in conjunction with each other, then those indies on Ps Plus are more worth the money then. Try toping that for a list of Ps Plus games. Sony’s Blunders and Future PlansSummary: I will expect a bit of controversy on here, and I will be keeping this one shorter than the others, but let’s face it right now. Sony pretty much found an escape clause in the contract on IGC since Ps4 is required that you have Ps Plus to play Call of Duty online and all that good stuff, so Sony can pretty much get away with it to give us indies as they would not like to hand us truly big games on Ps4 so long and what not. I am sure it will come one day, but not now other than the few games that we get on Ps4, also we tend to get different types of games like Styx, Oddworld, etc. It can have the triple A feel but are not true triple A, but not indies as well, and maybe Sony is placing a limit on that on all systems. The Ps3 is beginning to die down its support and maybe be discontinued in 2017 or so to focus on Ps4 and maybe the Vita if it still stands, they are also the first to get triple A games, and they might be the last, who knows. One person on reddit commented that Ps3 might never be getting triple As again and will start to be abused by indies and that could be true. As for the Ps Vita, it tried to be a hardcore gamers machine, but is pretty much now on life support with the Ps4, although they do get a lot of JRPG games and games that Japanese people make that could come to the west, so they have some hope. But they can pretty much get their triple A games by the remote play method, and with Sony dying down support on the Vita but still not as bad though, it could become more of an indie gamers machine, and that is how I been kinda using my Vita to a degree lately, playing indie games, and it feels right at home on it. Also I felt that Driveclub could have cost a lot to put on Ps Plus thanks to the fact that it took a lot of resources and what not and you can all disagree with me on this theory on how that had an effect on the Ps Plus games this month and maybe months to come, but hey it is a theory. Also they might want us to experience games we might have never play and all and blah blah blah. But Sony is doing the best they can to please everyone and well, they can’t please everyone though. Bottom line is that, when you add all these factors. It is no wonder why we are getting tons of indies on Ps Plus, and hell, because of all the choices Sony have done, not that it is bad though, we might forever be seeing indies only on Ps Plus for good. Some view it as bad, some not at all, but it comes down to you. I don’t mind indies, but I do hope for more big games, even if it is sparingly. I became a Ps Plus member on January 2015 when I bought a Ps4, and I sold my Ps3 soon after, but I keep an eye on that August 4 date or what, and since I heard we are to get Super Meat Boy on Ps Plus at launch, that may very well prove all these points. I hope this topic can lead to a good discussion. I hope you enjoy my theories or whatever you call it. Edit: Note, cheap here doesn't mean cheap in quality. Many of the indies are actually better than the triple A games we get today and what not, but I am meaning in cheapness in the cost to purchase the game.

  • Installing and running Arch linux on the new MacBook 2015

    So Apple has just started taking orders for the new 2015 MacBook. You know --
    the thinnest and lightest MacBook to date (even thinner than the MacBook Air),
    with a 12 inch retina display, the Intel Core M processor, a single USB-C port,
    and the new force touch trackpad.
    I'm pretty sure there are a few people like me who'd like to buy this new
    MacBook and then install and run Arch (or some other flavor of linux) on it.
    But of course, this MacBook is in many ways very dissimilar to previous MacBook
    Pros and MacBook Airs. So this thread is a shout out to likeminded individuals
    who are willing to brave the odds and install Linux on this new machine, so we
    can help each other figure out (and hopefully fix) the inevitable issues that
    will arise when we venture into this uncharted territory!
    I have a little bit of experience installing and running Arch on MacBook Pros
    and other Apple computers, but I'm (very) far from being an expert. But based
    on my limited experience, I think the following areas will pose the biggest
    challenges to getting Linux properly up and running on the new MacBook:
    1. Installation: it's possible that booting a live USB will fail. So we might
       have to use a CD. Indeed, perhaps we may even have to build a special ISO
       image for this laptop. And once the install is complete, EFI/EFISTUB booting
       with/without refit/refind may or may not work. Also, installing a bootloader
       (grub, gummiboot, etc.) for dual booting Mac OS X and Linux may be a
       challenge. We might have to endure kernel panics and deal with cryptic error
       messages while booting.
    2. Wifi may or may not work reliably. We might have to do some tinkering with
       different drivers, etc.
    3. Battery life may not be very good. We might have to fix a few things here.
    4. The HiDPI retina display may or may not work properly with specific window
       managers/desktop environments. Fonts/icons might be too tiny, may not scale,
       etc.
    5. The new Force touch trackpad may not work out of the box. In fact, I'm
       fairly sure the regular xf86-input-synaptics package won't play nice with
       this trackpad. There may not be support for features like the trackpad's
       haptic feedback, multi-finger gestures, pressure sensitivity, etc. Indeed,
       this might actually take a while to get properly working under Linux.
    6. I don't know if the new USB-C port will work out of the box. It may not
       play nice with USB flash drives and other peripherals and there may be
       issues with ehci/uhci/whatever.
    I tried Googling around trying to learn as much as I could about the issues
    above, but since the laptop is going on sale only today and most users are
    probably not interested in running Linux on it, I came up quite empty. I think
    many others on this forum might also have faced the same issue.
    So here's an open invitation. Let's share our experiences trying to get linux
    working on this laptop. If you buy this laptop and try to install Arch on
    it, please let us know how it went! Even if some things work out of the box, it
    might be useful for others to know, so please share.
    And of course, if you have more information/gotchas: for example, if you
    encountered and managed to fix one or more of the issues above, or you
    encountered a problem that's not on the list above, or even if you tried
    something and it didn't work out as expected, please post below. I'm sure this
    will be a very big help to others trying to solve similar issues on the same
    hardware. Thanks!

    It would probably be beneficial to post the output of lsusb -vvvv and dmesg.

    2. Broadcom BCM4360 AirPort Extreme, not supported.
    5. The new Force touch trackpad and keyboard, both SPI bus devices, do not work.
    On 2, it may just be a case of needing firmware, my laptop has a BCM43602 card, and the firmware required has only just been added to the linux-firmware package.  Prior to that I had to install it manually.
    On 5, I'm wondering if you identified them as SPI devices by looking in OS X, I ask because my laptop categorises my keyboard and trackpad in the same way.  But they are actually still both connected to the USB bus, and presumably using SPI as an interconnect between the keyboard/trackpad and the microcontroller that tie them together.

    Hello! Starting out for 2015 after about 7 years of just letting everything go after some really hard personal times.  Have a lot of work to do.  Several old accounts for small amounts dropping off 2015-2016 ;  No active revolving credit, use or open accounts as of 12/14 when we finally looked, only an open mortgage. Joint activity in this house as both of us, husband and wife, are pretty much in the same boat.  We had a series truly traumatic experiences and are hoping to rebound.  We are now used to purchasing solely on a cash basis so, using credit only as a tool to build our credit score should be no problem since for the past 7 years if we could not pay cash, we just waited til we could for everything. Goal:  Develop some lines of credit to start overshadowing the bad while working to get rid of the bad;  650 score by June 2015 first target Ultimate Goals:   Refinance mortgage before these low rates rise :  Maintain 720+ for both of us Steps Taken:  Since 12/16 did secure some starting credit lines to have a rebuild base: 1 - Fingerhut $500cl 2 - CapOne Quicksilver $300cl 3 - CapOne Platinum $300cl 4 - Walmart Store Card Auth User on spouse's new $300cl (they denied me, not sure why so took a hard hit there) Spouse since Nov 2014 has added: 1 - New Car Loan $27k 2 - Fingerhut $600cl 3 - WalMart Store Card $300cl 4 - CapOne Quicksilver $300cl 5 - CapOne Platinum $300cl 6 - CreditOne $300cl 7 - First Progress secured $300 (before she even imagined she would get unsecured approvals) 8 - Kay Jewelers $6000cl (really surprised with instore approval on this) Paid off one small collection we didn't know about from VZWireless now going back to VZ as we never stopped being a customer and they really screwed us up by not transferring balance when we went from personal to business account. Lots and lots of research reading on his forum as well as some other sites like Credit Karma etc:  using and paying to see movement in scores; PTD options; etc Pulled all credit reports ;  currently outlining plan for deletion of bad accounts;  all realy small amounts I could pay but need to invest the time to get PTD not just paid.Some start falling off on their own in Feb 2015 so, need to start a priority plan on who stays on longest and get rid of them. Hoping by joining and continuing on the forums for guidance we will keep the momentum to aggressively clean this up quickly and not just let the old stuff roll off over the next 14 months. Good luck everyone!!

  • How do I stop iMesssages/texts sent to a group from Messages app on MacBook from starting a new group thread?

    Whenever I try sending group iMessages on my MacBook using Messages, it keeps splitting into a new thread on our phones. There are 4 of us in the group that I've tried this with and it splits for all of us even though on my computer it is saying that I am sending to the original group that is custom named. One of the guys in the group is able to use his MacBook (same year/model/OS) without any problems of splitting, so we aren't sure what the problem is or how to fix it.
    I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, but it's been doing this ever since iOS 8 and Yosemite first came out.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have only tried group chats a couple of times.
    I have just added the name I wanted to the "To" box after enabling a "New Chat".
    I do know that unlike AIM or a Jabber Chat people can't leave you have to restart a fresh group and exclude the people you don't want (same if you want to add people).
    I have not thought to try renaming such a chat.
    I would try building the group from scratch rather then trying to make it use and old name.  (I have difficulty accessing some chats pre my Yosemite Upgrade)

  • [Solved] No sound on Dell XPS 13 2015 (9343) with BIOS A03

    I have been unable to get sound to work on my new 2015 Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition running kernel 4.0.1-1-ARCH.  Arch is the only OS installed.
    I have checked the wiki page and this forum post, which seems to indicate it should work with this configuration out of the box.
    However, audio does not play through the speakers (the speakers were working in the original Ubuntu 14.04 installation) and when I tried to un-mute the volume, as described in the ALSA wiki page I received the following message:
    $ amixer sset Master unmute
    amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0
    I am not sure what other pertinent information to post, please forgive my ignorance and let me know. Thank you for your assistance.

    I have installed the patched kernel and rebooted twice but am still encountering the same problem. The only difference to altercation's instructions is that the aur package has been updated:
    $ uname -r
    4.0.2-1-xps13-alt
    The output of amixer is identical to before. However, there are now two headphone channels visible in alsamixer, which were not present under the stock kernel.

    The channel which is set at 20 gives a continuous "beep" (sine tone?) through headphones, when they are plugged into the jack.
    This is the other sound card visible in alsamixer (and the one that is displayed by default):

    The only other thing I have noticed in ~20 minutes of use are some graphical artefacts and flickering that occur with this kernel.  I have previously set the Intel graphics acceleration to uxa, as described in the wiki, because of issues with virtual terminals and resuming from suspend. The graphical issues I am currently encountering are very minor, however.
    Update:
    Thanks to fumlead for this post. The problem seems to have been that the wrong card was set as default. Creating /etc/asound.conf and adding this:
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
    has solved the problem under both the stock and aur kernels. I am going to stick with the stock kernel because of the graphical issues encountered with the alternate kernel. I am not currently using the audio jack for a microphone, which I believe should work for the alternate kernel but not the stock one.
    There is a small bug with the speakers not automatically being silenced when headphones are plugged in, but hopefully that will be fixed in kernel 4.1.
    Thank you to everyone who viewed and commented in this thread and special thanks to fumlead.

  • Kernel task is hogging lots of threads and CPU time

    My Mavericks Quad Macbook Pro is getting pretty slow these days and at some point I'll have to reinstall everything I think. However I can't start that for a while as I have important projects on the go. I looked in Activity Monitor first and I can see a kernel task constantly running with no indication of what it is doing. So I opened Console and looked at the Diagnostic log. I can see a lot of lines referring to com.apple.message. Hundreds of identical lines actually. I did not have Messages running so I opened it, and sure enough that showed up in console live. However the log shows a slightly different app and a totally different UUID, which seems odd.
    Anybody understand what this is all about? See below. I opened one of the endlessly repeating items plus one that I know is from the Messages app below it.

    The kernel_task is the heart of the operating system.  It will have on the order of a 100 threads (more or less).  So when you ask the operating system to do something, like read/write a disk, do network I/O, talk to your mouse/trackpad, keyboard, monitor, etc... kernel_task is the code that is going to do that at the lowest levels.
    Also if you have installed any 3rd party drivers (kernel extensions), they are going to become part of kernel_task and the CPU time they use will be part of kernel_task.
    If you have anti-malware, Mac cleaner or memory cleaner software installed, many of these packages install drivers that then try to out-guess the kernel_task and often result in slowing down the system, interfering with the normal operation of the system, or causing kernel panics.  These kinds of packages are not recommended by long term forum contributors.
    Please provide the output from EtreCheck, which will show the 3rd party additions you have installed.

  • Outlook for Mac 2015 keeps crashing

    I installed the latest version of outlook for mac about 4 months ago and everything was working very well until yesterday when outlook started crashing. I've tried several fixes that I found in other MS postings like clearing the cache and preferences, creating
    another identity but the problem still persists. The error message I'm getting is the following:

    I have also tried to remove the UBT8T346G9 files from the 'Group Containers' folder but still the same issue. At this point, I would like to either troubleshoot this issue or revert back to Outlook for Mac 2011. The only issue with going back to 2011 is
    exporting my personal folders from 2015 since the .PST folders I exported 4 months ago are no longer up to date. Apparently, export is not an option in 2015.
    Thanks for your help,
