X-Server Crashes on Boot After Switch From Catalyst to Open Source ATI

Seems like there's a lot of similar stuff to this, but I've searched and googled and I haven't found anything that seems to apply directly to me. Please forgive me if there's a thread I've overlooked.
I recently wanted to give Catalyst a try, because I wanted to play a few old games in wine, and they didn't seem to work with the xf86 driver. It worked, the games played, but the instability wasn't worth it, so today I tried to go back. I followed the instructions for switching on the ATI wiki page, and now I have an xserver crash on boot, and somehow it's also wrecked my wifi.
I've tried everything in the "preparing for catalyst users" section on the wiki, and I've come up empty.
Obviously, as I can't get into X and there's no internet on that machine, I can't post my log file. If there's any info you people would find helpful, please ask.
Thanks.

The only way to get real help is to find a way around that. Arrange to use someone else's computer for a short time and copy your log file to that one. Also, why not rename your log and then post it by switching back to Catalyst to get back to your last "working state"?
As for the wireless problem, what happens when you run iwconfig? Common commands are:
Listing networks -- iwlist wlan0 scan
Connecting to one -- iwconfig wlan0 essid NAME && dhcpcd wlan0

X server crashes when trying to switch from compiz to metacity

Hi,
i updated mesa to 7.4-1, xf86-video-ati to 6.12.2-1, xorg-server to 1.6.1-1 and now i see that when i try to switch from compiz to metacity, my xserver crashes and login window shows up. i tried that many times, but everytime my xserver crashed.

which accelerate method do you use in xorg.conf? And what's your card?
In my intel X4500MHD case, with UXA AccelMethod, it's fine when doing window manager switch.

Hi,
That particualr error should be solved by adding the following parameter to your instance profile:
jstartup/vm/parameters = -XX:-ExtendedExceptionMessages
The issue is related to note 1693118

Mail client connects with the Mail Server wich seems to run but then they can't receive any email...
the problem seems to be related with dovecot ... in my smtp log i get this:
relay=dovecot, delay=324, delays=324/0.02/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: pipe: fatal: pipe_command: execvp /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver: Permission denied

Any Ideas?

Blurry font after switching from WinXP to Win 7 (Was:Schrift im Dreamweaver CS 3 verschwommen)

<Preran> For the benefit of moderators here, I used Google to translate your content into English:
Good day,
I have problems with blurry font in Dreamweaver CS3 after switching from Windows XP to Windows 7
I have already tried the following:
In "Edit" Preferences "change font size" - unfortunately that does not work. (which had worked fine in the previous changeover to Windows XP)
Then I got in the forum www. office-loesungen.de the tip, sometimes seen on the control panel display, which percentage is set.
When I got the set to the mean value, the writing was not so blurry, but still not really readable.
Experiments with Clear adjust TypeText were not successful.
There is a trick, so the font is larger
If I have to "small" hinders the size that was at 0.75 in the previous pages, it is readable for me, so I could enter the text and read it.
However, the text is then when uploading larger.
What can I do now?
For speedy help I would be grateful
Best regards
Guten Tag,
ich habe Probleme mit verschwommener Schrift im Dreamweaver CS3 nach der Umstellung von Windows XP auf Windows 7.
Ich habe folgendes schon probiert:
Bei „Bearbeiten“ und Voreinstellungen „Schriftgröße ändern“- das funktioniert leider nicht. (das hatte bei der letzten Umstellung auf Windows XP wunderbar geklappt)
Dann bekam ich im Forum www. office-loesungen.de den Tipp, mal über die Systemsteuerung-Anzeige zu sehen, welcher Prozentwert eingestellt ist.
Als ich den auf den mittleren Wert eingestellt habe, war die Schrift schon nicht mehr ganz so verschwommen, aber immer noch nicht richtig lesbar.
Auch Versuche mit Clear Type Text anpassen waren nicht erfolgreich.
Einen Trick gibt es, wodurch die Schrift größer wird
Wenn ich die Größe, die bei den bisherigen Seiten bei 0,75 lag , auf „klein“ verstelle, ist es für mich lesbar, ich könnte den Text so eingeben und auch lesen.
Allerdings wird der Text dann beim Hochladen auch größer.
Was kann ich jetzt tun?
Für baldige Hilfe wäre ich dankbar
Mit freundlichem Gruss
Renate Gundel

I've done this multiple times and it produces essentially the same message, but there is a mention that a restart is pending. This is also strange because this is definitely not the case. First time I used CScleaner it took a while and was obviously busy correcting something. However now when I select clean all, it simply dumps anopther massive log file into AppData and says cleaning completed successfully. Now I just ran it again, so would you like me to post the more recent log file?

NI-4060 giving invalid 1st reading after switching from or to LOW Resistance Measurements

We've been using TestStand & LabView to test various Circuit board. On series of test involves checking for a short circuit (Measure Low Resistance 4-wire) then measuring for a 3.5Vrms signal on another part of the board.
For each measurement, the following NI-DMM VI's are used in order:
niDMMInit, niDMMAutoZero, niDMMConfigure, niDMMMeasure, niDMMClose.
If we do the Low Resistance 4WR measurement, then a AC V measurement, the 1st reading from the DMM is approx 10x too high, if a 2nd reading it done it is then OK.
It doesn't matter how long a delay is before we take the 1st measurement, it's always approx a factor of 1E+1 out.
If however we don't do a Low Restance prior to
the AC V measurement, then the measurement is always correct.
I expermented with turning AutoZero on & off, and various resolution settings, however none of these seem to have an effect on the result.
Can anyone explain these strange results?
Thanks

Thanks, after playing with a few more settings I found if I turned the Cacheing off niDMMInitWithOptions, with "Cache=0" that everything worked fine, but it would take a couple of seconds to get the first AC measurement after switching from resistance.

Some issues after switching from 686 to x86_64

Hi all,
after switching from i686 to x86_64 using this link I am now facing some minor issues with some packages. I already activated the multilib repository but some problems remain. I checked the binaries in /usr/bin for 32 bit executables as described in the above link and there are 177 "bad" binaries left. I thought all of these were not executable, but surprisingly wine was. Strange!
ffmpeg is another 32 bit executable and not runnable. So I tried to reinstall it, but that failed:
> pacman -S ffmpeg
warning: ffmpeg-1:2.6.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
libx264 is installed and didn't want to be reinstalled either:
> pacman -S libx264
warning: libx264-2:144.20150223-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg: requires libx264.so=144-32
:: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
Can someone give me a hint, what's the best way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance, Zmann

I think the first issue you will run in to is that the interface for an old P4 hdd will probably not be the same as a new computer. Besides that, it will probably be vastly slower than what comes with a new computer. I think that is not the best idea.
The only wat to really "trasition" between two archtectures that I know of is to copy configuration files over and have pacman dump a list of explicitly installed packages from the main repos. Then use that information to reinstall all those packages.

OS X partition becomes corrupt after switching from Bootcamp

So I've had to reinstall os x 10.9.1 no less than three times this week and multiple times before in the past after switching between os x and windows 8.1. This usually happens after I've been using windows for a prolonged period then switch back to os x but it happened today after reinstalling os x from a time machine backup just yesterday. I'll switch between the two and os x becomes corrupt and begins the loading bar sequence after selecting the os x partition via the refit boot manager. I tried repairing the partition using disk utility from the repair partition and an external installation of os x 10.9.1 but every time the disk becomes corrupt and needs to be wiped and reinstalled or install a time machine backup. I've lost count of how many times I've had to do this and to make things even worse both of my external disks have become corrupt after being disconnected for two days while I sort this mess out. Does anyone else have similar issues or can locate an issue somewhere?

Yeah I reinstalled osx 10.9.1 and installed all my apps, put everything back then used bootcamp to create a partition for windows then used wineclone to install my windows 8.1 backup. I jumped from windows > osx > windows > osx inside an hour to move around a few things and I forgot verify bootcamp after I installed the backup and that last time I booted to osx it was corrupted. I used disk utility from my external installation and the recovery partition and both times they need repaired which only came up with the backup and wipe notification window. There have been two occasions where I was able to fix the osx partition from my external osx installation and continue using osx quite perfectly but usually the partition becomes un-mountable after it fails to repair. Usually when this has happened the twenty something times before it's after a prolonged period of a few weeks using windows.
I'm using refit boot manager and paragon NTFS 11 which may be the only software I've installed that could be corrupting the boot.

Problem loading safari webpage after switch from EDGE to 3G and vice versa.

ok, very simple question
i'm on edge, i want to go on safari, so i enable 3G. after that i go on safari and try to open a webpage. even after the 3G icon displays on top, it still takes a very long time before the webpage starts to load. Sometimes i get a message saying Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. IS THIS NORMAL?
also if im on 3G and switch down to EDGE and then open a page in safari i get a message saying Could not activate cellular data network, even though the page loads anyway. IS THAT NORMAL?
Message was edited by: Stevendo

are you on 4.0.1?
if so then this of course is not normal but it is also happening to me
ill be at home and have 3G on 4 bars and i try to load a page on safari and nothing happens, then i switch it to edge and it connects, but like u when switching from 3G to edge i get those messages.. also i noticed that this only happended after i updated to 4.0.1 and i NEVER got these problems b4 on 4.0 and to make things worse.. in order for my 3G data to work i have to make a phone call, hang up, then ill get connectivity on 3G..
so the fix... i dont kno??
but im suffering like u...

[SOLVED] KVM Broken After Switch from KVM to Qemu-KVM

Since I made the switch from KVM 88-1 to Qemu-KVM 0.11.0-1 yesterday, my virtual Win XP64 guest OS will not load; I just get a black screen. When I try safe mode, I can see that it is getting stuck on "acpitabl.dat."
Here's the line I've always used to start it up,
qemu-kvm -boot c -m 512 -hda win_xp.img -net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1 -localtime -k en-us -soundhw ac97 -vga std
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Last edited by tony5429 (2009-11-27 05:03:43)

I see that my user was not on 'kvm' group after the switch.
When I added my user to de kvm group Qemu-KVM works like a charm.

XP crashes when booting everything apart from safe mode

My PC (with K7N-ILSR mobo) has been running fine for ages. Suddenly now it's crashing when booting - it crashes for everything apart from safe mode. it also crashes on safe mode with networking. i've tried disabling the onboard LAN, unplugging the cable, etc without success. any idea what i can do to fix it?

to dancing_bear,
try to resinstall the graphics card drivers in safe mode. this problem is likely due to corrupted graphics card drivers. if still fails, i suggest that u back up your data, then perform a reformat and reinstallation of the operating system.
if problem still persist after all these workarounds, then open up your pc chassics and observe all the cooling fans. make sure that are all working properly. (of course your pc has to be on) if any of the fan is not spining or spining very slowly, then its time to replace them. also not forgetting to check on the capacitors as well. they should not be bludging from the top or having brownish substances at the top or bottom of the capacitors. if you happen to see these, then send your motherboard for a recap.
cheers
