X wont start - Intel X4500, Thinkpad X200 SOLVED

I'm using the latest kernel (.27) and intel driver (2.4) from testing, and xorg from the normal repos. I've tried to use the xorg.conf generated by Xorg -configure, and a configuration made by Ubuntu (which works in Ubuntu). Still X wont start.. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Well, the Intrepid beta works fine for me without any editing in the xorg.conf (the alpha however did not).
Anyway I need hardware acceleration later so it's a bit pointless.
Thanks anyway.
EDIT:
Well, I found something at those Gentoo sites. It has more to do with the i810 driver though.. Anyway it's pretty important I think so please (devs) read this:
http://www.nabble.com/xorg-server-1.5-a … 78890.html
I'm still looking for help with the "original" xf86-video-intel driver and xorg 1.5 not starting though!
EDIT2:
I've done some searching on bugs.freedesktop.org and it seems that this problem has only been fixed in Debian
Not fixed: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17703
Fixed: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17507
Those are the same bug.
I'm a little confused how this works.. Why is there only a fix for Debian??
EDIT3: I might have read this a little too fast.. It looks like this fix is not in 2.4.2 and they probably wont release 2.4.3 cause 2.5 is "close". I guess I have to grab it from git and compile it myself. Not sure how to do that though, but maybe I'll find out..
Can I use this?
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s&ID=18678
EDIT4:
Compiling from git seems to be an endless horror of dependency problems so I guess I'll wait for the 2.5 driver to be released and hit the testing repos..

[Solved] No sound (only headphones) on Thinkpad X200 Tablet

A few years ago, I installed Arch on a Thinkpad X200 Tablet, and everything was fine until a few day ago the HD had to be replaced. I was happy with system and the only think I remember being a headache was the touchscreen.
With the new HD, I decided to reinstall and not keeping config files, for a complete fresh start. One of the first things I did was setup sound, as it was really easy and worked just out-of-box with ALSA. After that, I installed some apps and the DE (Gnome this time, I've been previously working with only a WM, Awesome). I remeber even watching and listening a flash video with no problems.
Today, I keep installing some tweaks: GDM, laptop-tools, HDAPS, setting a console font... and suddenly, I noticed sound was not working anymore. Looked at alsamixer, and everything looks fine. Booting on init level 3 the problem persists, so it's not a Gnome issue. I tried blacklisting the more recent modules and daemons, but no sound. I tried plugging some headphones, and hey, the headphones work!
After reviewing the Arch wiki, Thinkwiki, googling, and trying several workarounds (most of them settings at modprobe.conf, and unmutting everything), I'm still with no sound, and very puzzled for the situation. I would greatly appreciate any help on this, or any clue to keep researching.

Hola joseperezc, thank you for the recommendations.
Installing alsa-oss -> Nothing changes.
pcspkr is loaded by default:
$ lsmod |grep pcspkr
pcspkr 1367 0
I also tried blacklisting it, but no results.
I also tried this conf:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
But still no sound.
Btw, atm I have:
$ pacman -Qs alsa
alocal/alsa-lib 1.0.24.1-1
An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
local/alsa-utils 1.0.24.2-1
An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
I also tried muting the SPDIF channels (I read that sometimes if they are enabled, the conflict with analog output), but no changes. And the sad thing is that it was working before... I'm thinking on uninstalling everything step by step...

Lenovo ThinkPad X200S "Intel(R) WiFi Link 5300 AGN" Not Working well .

Hello everybody

Device manager, not even with yellow ? mark … ,nothing there at all , if you asked me what I do to make it work again , I will
say “NOTHING” I only Keep restarting my Laptop forever till it work again by itself, here is some information about my system hop it will help :
Notebook: Lenovo ThinkPad X200S, see this:
Also I am installing the latest Driver from Lenovo see the Pic:
As I already said, Sometime Everything Work fine, and next
day it’s not working, I need to spend 1 hour restarting my Laptop, and it’s happing
every day
Please help me, please
Thank you in Advance

hey Alphapoint,
try this, uninstall the Wifi LAN drivers. let Windows install its generic drivers.
test your connection with the generic drivers. See if that works, then install the drivers from our support site but before you install it, go to MSCONFIG and set your unit to Diagnostic mode first before installing.

[SOLVED] gParted wont start

I have Arch installed with KDE. I wanted to make some changes to my partiton table and thought of using gParted to get the work done.
I installed gparted as:
sudo pacman -S gparted
Now, when I try executing gparted form the GUI, I get the authentication window, where it asked for the user password. Upon entering it, nothing at all happens. gParted just wont start.
I tried running it from Konsole:
sudo gparted /dev/sda
I get an error as:
No protocol specified

Please help identify why gParted wont start on my system.

Intel imac wont start after changing permission

intel imac wont start after i changed my hard drive permission to let me read and write, then i clicked apply to all enclosed files.i turned it off no problem. then it never started up again in os x. the grey screen with apple logo appears,then after a minute it restarts, and will keep doing that if i let it. i can start up in windows xp, but i dont know how to do anything in windows xp that will affect os x. i can use the hard drive in target mode, but i cant figure out how that can help me. i use a macbook to view target disk. ive spent hours looking through help and support. finally i do not have the os install disks. PLEASE HELP!

My apologies for the inept instructions.
Restart normally. Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the commands in the Terminal application to avoid typos:
sudo su
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again. Now paste each of the following at the prompt and press RETURN after each.
chown root:admin /Applications
chmod 0775 /Applications
chown root:admin /Library
chmod 1775 /Library
chown root:admin /System
chmod 0775 /System

ThinkPad x200s 7470 3g driver

Hi,
I'm trying to find and download 3g driver for ThinkPad x200s but i cant find it. Can you send me link or tell me how to install drivers for 3g modem.
Thx.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Purchase and install wwan card (modem) youself.
Look at the page below for details:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x200_x200s_x200si_x201_x201i_x201s_hmm_en...
Lenovo approved wwan cards for x200s are listed on the page below:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-70510#7
Select the card you need (it depends of the area where you are) and p/n (FRU). For almost worldwide carriers Gobi 2000 is good choice, in European netwoкs Ericsson F3507 will work too.
Modern external 3g/lte/wifi routers are the best choice if you need the capability of LTE FDD/TDD networks.
UPD
Be sure your laptop is wwan ready i.e.has sim reader and wwan antennas.

E540 After BIOS update the computer wont start

Hi!
After I did an BIOS update from windows the computer wont start. Only the green FN key and the red "i" in the word ThinkPad lights up!
I can't access BIOS.
Tried tho remove the small CMOS battery for an minute

If these long boot symptoms, following the BIOS update occur, multiple customers have reported success in resolving them by disabling Intel AMT and setting the security chip, TPM, as active in the BIOS.
Steps to disable Intel AMT and enable TPM settings as below.
Boot into BIOS
Select Config
Select Intel AMT
Press Enter key on Intel AMT Control and select Disable
Press ESC twice
Select Security
Select Security chip and select Enable
Press F10 and click Yes.

After Effects just bounces in the dock but wont start

Hi all,
Just installed CS4 production studio under Snow Leopard. All works well and updated using the Adobe Updater. All apps are fine except AE which just bounces in the dock a few times and then stops. I read that this could be because Rosetta was not installed. I installed Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD and still nothing. Have restarted 3 times just in case (I also read that several restarts may be required to get it to work), but still nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Dave

OK... Now I feel like Scott of the Antartic writing in his journal before the inevitable... I am writing this purely to help anyone else with the same issue to resolve it without the pain that I am still experiencing. Hopefully the last entry will read "all solved" and not "I am about to pop outside... I may be some time..."
After using CS2 for the bulk of my work I thought I'd try and get this solved once and for all, especially as we have a DVCPROHD project coming up and need CS4 to do it.
OK... The so now I have the suite running, except Premiere is running under at trial without the presets and the updates fail when installing. Contacted support this week, they wont re-open the original case because it has been over a month. Fair enough, new case.
The adobe guy takes control of my machine, deactivates it, then from Finder deletes lots of folders. He then asks me to re-install the products. I do this (2 hours later) and run Premiere and it appears to work with presets. I look a bit closer and notice that under the help menu of Premiere Register, Deactivate and Updates are all greyed out. This is not the case in the other products of the suite. OK, so not a major deal but does imply something is not installed right. I run the Adobe Updater, Premiere updates, but AE, PS and several updates fail.
Call back to support. This time the Adobe guy takes control of my machine suggests I deactivate the suite, run the un-install and then download and run the CS3 Clean script and re-install. I do all this. Another 2 hours later feeding discs into the machine... and... Premiere looks fine, presets all there... but wait for it... AFTER EFFECTS JUST BOUNCES IN THE DOCK BUT WONT START.
3rd call back to support and ask for the issue to be escalated. This is difficult and I have to cause a fuss to realise that this problem is the same one that has been hanging around for months and that I am not prepared to spend more hours removing every trace of Adobe from my machine and re-installing - this doesn't work. The support technician asks me to delete a hidden folder that has all the Adobe patches in it, manually download the AE 9.0.2 update and install it. It installs but AE wont start. I explain that I've had enough and want the problem escalated.
I finally get a call back from a 2nd level engineer this morning. After explaining the that AE wont start and then answering the question "why is this a problem for you!" we do some quick troubleshooting. This time I have to pull out the network cable, turn off Airport, create a new user account, log on to it and then see if AE runs. Which it does. Within seconds we get launched into the pre-determined script, "if it runs under another user account then there is nothing wrong with the applications and I should call Apple". After being patronised for a further 5 mins I had to PROVE to the guy that it was also possible that the fault was Adobes. I also know the moment I phone Apple, the response will be "Call Adobe".
The only example I could give him at the time was to image a piece of software I had written that allocated memory based on the screen resolution (this is a user preference) and if my code was badly written and crashed when encountering a screen resolution bigger than my code was expecting. OK, is that Apple's fault, no it is my code. Will it run under one user and not another, yes it will. There are a million other posibilities. Some I agree could be Apple's, but equally some could be Adobes and the big fat fob off as soon as you can is terrible.
I have also since realised since leaving this call with the technician, that:
1) This is a brand new iMac and the Adobe Suite was the 1st piece of 3rd party software installed on it.
2) The iMac is for video editing and nothing else.
3) This was working without presets before the Adobe guys deleted all these files and asked me to re-install. It is more likely that they have deleted something they should not have rather than the a bug in the OS. A bug in the OS is still possible but I suspect the problem is with a rogue bit of installation code from Adobe.
Finally incase anyone from Adobe is reading this:
I have paid thousands of pounds for this software.
I have been unable to use it for months.
A problem like this should be gold dust for you. Here is the chance to get to the bottom of an issue that several people are having, understand the mechanics of what is going wrong. Write a KB article as well as a patch and this would save the time/money and effort of an awful lot of people (including your own).
As a short thought experiment I would like everyone at Adobe to image the following:
You pay £1,000 of your own money for a tool to do your work on the promise that you can make this money back in productivity gains, new business, etc.
The tool you use every day to make a living won't work. For the benefit of the experiment, imagine this is your email client, web browser or case management tool.
You have no IT group to replace your machine or to come and solve it.
You can't tell your customers that your software is down and you have to keep doing your job.
You have to spend an additional 3 days in your own time, working late or weekends to try and fix the software yourself.
You to keep downloading a Gigabyte of data 3 or four times and you have to pay for downloads. Currently you are running up a bill of over £100 in downloads and phone calls.
You don't get paid the overtime and your customers start complaining you are late with your work.
You lose customers... you eventually get fired because you have lost too many of them.
...This is what it feels like for a small creative business to not be able to install the software they bought.

ITunes just wont start

Soon after loading v 5.0.1, my computer stopped being able to open up iTunes. I get a message offering to send an error report to MS, but nothing else happens.
I have Norton AV installed, and I think I upgraded recently, too, and I wonder if that creates a conflict.
To solve the problem, I have reinstalled several times, both online and from the disk that came with my iPod, and I have system-restored several times as well.
Any info to help?

I actually fixed it using the advice from a post back in August or September. I used keywords 'wont start' and found a post telling me to uninstall itunes, then QT, then take out 4 files from windows 32, then to reinstall. The only problem is that un-installing dumped the entire music library, which I'm slowly restoring from the 'my music' library (which I did not delete.)
Anyone know if this step can be avoided????

MBP Some applications wont start

When I try to start Miro or MS Office they wont start and want to send error reports. I send them but it doesnt solve anything. All the other applications open fine. I started another user on my mac book and tried to open the applications and they worked fine. Has anyone had this problem? Sould I just start a new user, and if I do how do I transfer all of my file. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

must be a ram -problem; call apple and tell them how many beeps ...
before you can try: open your mbp and take out one of your ram's and start, if beeps still occure take out this ram and put in the other you removed before ...
take care that ram seats properly !
p.s. look in your manual, how to open your mbp you can keep it open for this procedure above but take care that it's on a clean soft-cloth; also keep in mind what screws are where !

Bluetooth drivers for thinkpad x200

it appears my windows 7 32bit thinkpad x200 has question marks at bluetooth adapters in device manager.
I have installed the drivers that are available on the website of lenovo producer, but no change is observable.
The device seems to work well, that is share and access files with android smartphone, and use android's internet, but when it comes to sharing internet with the smartphone, there is no transmission. I wonder if broken drivers could be the cause.
any experiences?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Gnite,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understand that you are facing the issue with Bluetooth on your ThinkPad X200.
Uninstall all the Bluetooth drivers which you have installed in your system, after uninstalling restart the system and download ThinkVantage system update utility from Lenovo support site and install it.
After installation run the application so that it will search all the required drivers and application for your system.
Hope this helps!
