Yet Another P7N Diamond Issue

Apart from the ongoing problem I am still having in this thread I now have yet another dilemma. I bought a BFG 9800 GT OC2 as a upgrade and installed it the usual way ensuring I connected the 6 pin connector too and the pc does not boot up even after several attempts
Instead I am getting a strange beeping pattern one long beep then some shorts
Please if someone could shed some light I would greatly appreciate it even if its regarding my previous issue.

I use the above Cooler Master PSU, zero issues. Has 4 pci-e connectors, so it's ready for quad sli if I ever want to go that route with my P6n Diamond. Has lots of different connection options, highly rated PSU. Not all Cooler Master PSUs underperform, just have to know what you're buying. The above supply also has 2 8 pin connectors so for instance when my GTX 295 arrives I'll have no trouble (card uses 6/8 pin). Reviews also can be helpful.

Another P7N Diamond that cannot install XP

Current setup:
- MSI P7N Diamond motherboard
- OCZ P6400 2 X 2gb Dimms (4gb total)
- PNY nVidia GeForce 9600 GT Verto (512mb) video card
- brand new "green" 650 watt power supply
- 2 X 750gb SATA IDE Seagate drives
- Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66 processor
XP installation starts off normally by creating partition and copying files to it. Then comes the first reboot and the XP screen with the floating line appears. As soon as it hits the first graphical screen, the mouse cursor appears and functions (moving the mouse moves the cursor), about 2 seconds into that, system reboots. After the reboot, it comes back to the first graphical screen after the windows floating line and says "Setup is being restarted......" and the reboot is continual.
- I've tried testing the RAM without issues.
- I've tried using both 1 stick of RAM and both sticks of RAM
- I tried using another known good 1gb stick of RAM
- I have tried with and without the RAID configuration
- I've tried using standard IDE as well as SATA IDE drives
- I've tried installing XP Home and XP Pro (both legit versions)
- I've tried using V.1.0, V1.1 and V.1.2.1 BETA bios
I've currently got a trouble ticket open with MSI tech support, but they tell me to swap RAM and do memory tests (both previously done!).
Nothing that I have done can get XP installed on this seutp and I am just plain frustrated. I'd *REALLY* appreciate any help or suggestions to get this running.
Thanks.

The symptom:
Windows XP install CD, boots properly, installs files properly... on first reboot to graphical screen it reboots after saying "Setup is restarting......" It will do this continually.
What have I done to date:
- Reduced setup to 1 2GB memory stick... no change
- Done extensive memory checks with 1 and 2 sticks of OCZ RAM and Platinum 1GB RAM all without errors... no change
- Changed to known good RAM (1 GB of Platinum DDR2 @ 533mhz)... no change
- Tried installs with and without the RAID configuration (RAID 1)... no change
- Tried using 250gb standard IDE as well as 750gb SATA IDE drives (all known good or 100% new drives)... no change
- Tried installing XP Home and XP Pro (both legit versions)... no change
- Tried using V.1.0, V1.1 and V.1.2.1 BETA bios... no change
- Tried install using Windows XP Pro with SP3 slipstreamed into the disk image... no change
- Tried using both the Bios Failsafe settings and Optimized Default settings... no change
- Tried the SPREAD SPECTRUM settings both enabled and disabled... no change
Question, could it be a bios setting that could unlock this mystery from hell for me somehow?
Thanks for the help so far Aaron.

P7N Diamond issue

Hi,
Have a P7N Diamond, have a few problems with this m/b(not sure where to post this, think its a bios issue):
- Often get hang-ups, sometimes it returns after a minute...
- Sometimes it looses connection to a Samsung 1TB harddisc, have tried to change it without any change.
- Games doesnt run smoothly... get small and very annoying delays in framerate!!
There is not a hardware issue as you can see bellow!! :-p
At the moment I have the v1.3 bios, have the same issues with older bios...
* Does this m/b have full support for 1TB hdd?
* Does this m/b have the SATA optical drive issue?
Know that the nvidia chipset have some issue with sata optical drives....
* Are there any new vga bios... since I have all msi.... thougt I would be able to update it thrue liveupdate!!!

Yet another CC billing issue

I had to update the credit card on file with my Creative Cloud account. Since then, the card has not been billed. The last payment was made on October 6. The information on file is correct, and has been for quite some time (even with multiple attempts to re-update it). Now access to my Adobe products has been suspended. I tried calling Adobe multiple times ... once hanging up after 45 minutes of being on hold, another time choosing the call-back option and never receiving a call back, and finally getting the recording that the wait time was between 90 and 120 minutes. One time I got through on chat, but after the unsuccessful session I was told to call Customer Support. Yet a connection to sales was near instantaneous.
These wait times are completely unacceptable. I understand that the attack on your servers has caused big headaches, but hire some temporary support staff to get through this.
Please, Adobe, help me out. I need to use your products for work.
-Jon-

Hi Jon,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience faced by you, please provide me your contact number, if possible with an alternate contact number. I will follow up the issue.
I have send an email to you also, please respond.

Yet another tagged songs issue

Ok all, I have another question about tagged songs. I figured out how to buy a tagged song. On a windows machine, you have to hit the applications key and then there is a buy option. I bought two songs this way, but when I connected my IPod the other day to purchase a song I had tagged since I bought the last song, the buy option is no longer available. How do I buy the songs now?

Yet another security propagation issue

Hiya,
I'm using WLS 8.1SP4, on windows (dev env).
I'm using forms based auth.
I login with user "cadmin". The debugger shows
the subject from weblogic.security.Security.getCurrentSubject()
has only the WLUserImpl "cadmin", and some WLGroupImpl's, as expected. There is no mention of user "weblogic" in the Subject instance.
When I do:
new InitialContext()
and then attempt to call a method on a stateful EJB configured only for access by cadmin, I get the following stack trace. It occurs whether I try Security.runAs() or just directly in original calling thread.
<--snip-->
     java.rmi.RemoteException: EJB Exception:; nested exception is:
     java.rmi.RemoteException: No such user weblogic
     at weblogic.ejb20.internal.BaseEJBObject.postInvoke(BaseEJBObject.java:254)
     at ima.security.AuthorisationSessionManagerBean_pirxps_EOImpl.joinGroup(AuthorisationSessionManagerBean_pirxps_EOImpl.java:270)
     at ima.admin.security.RemoteAuthorisationOperations.joinGroup(RemoteAuthorisationOperations.java:461)
     at ima.admin.facade.UserFacade$1.run(UserFacade.java:344)
     at weblogic.security.acl.internal.AuthenticatedSubject.doAs(AuthenticatedSubject.java:321)
     at weblogic.security.service.SecurityManager.runAs(SecurityManager.java:118)
     at weblogic.security.Security.runAs(Security.java:41)
<--snip-->
From the debugger in the ejb business method, the call:
_sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName();
returns user "weblogic"
The thing that most confuses me is the "cannot find user weblogic" - the subject reported by Security.getCurrentSubject() was "cadmin" - a user for which the ejb is configured to accept.
One more item possibly of relevance: the servlet is in a separate war to the ear that the EJBs are in. This same ejb and other ejbs are successfully being invoked however.
Thanks in advance for any pointers here,
Regards,
Hugh Madden

Yet another Yosemite install issue

So, I'm trying to upgrade from 10.9.5 on a 27" Mid 2010 iMac. I have downloaded the installer and everything seems to work fine. Until I actually start installing it. During 'Preparing to install" the load bar gets to 'one second left' and just stalls. Over and over again. Under different users. Yep, I've reset the PRAM, repaired permissions and such. Still not working. Any idea?

Yet another Quick TIme issue.

I made new audio in Digital Performer and imported an MOV file as the source video. The new file was saved as an MOV and plays perfectly on a mac. However, when I try to play this on my pc's QT, I have to load the new file first THEN the original file before both the video/audio play. Help!

OK, that makes total sense. Thank you very much Jon; that explains the issue very clearly. This of course begs another question though; how to I merge the new audio file and the original video file?
That may depend on how you plan to play the file. My preferred strategy is to create a new target file and prevent the original source files from being accidentally modified in case I need to repeat the merge sequence.
1) Open the source files.
2) Create a new empty player.
3) Copy the individual files to the empty player in the order you wish them played.
4 Save the resulting new file as a stand alone file.
This merged file would play in most versions of QT based apps but maight be a problem in some versions of mobile device players which require content be "flattened" to individual audio and video tracks. (I.e., the QT 7 player can play up to 99 mixed data tracks but some versions of the mobile players do not.)

Yet another slow connection issue

My broadband speed is totally unreliable - and from a quick scan of the forums it seems I'm not the only one!
Much the same as numerous other posters, I'm paying for up to 8meg broadband but typically getting far less than that. Being in a rural location i appreciate that the local phone exchange probably isn't the most high tech facility in the world, but we're only 2 miles away from it and the speed tester has recorded up to 7meg on occasion. Today, and this seems to be an increasingly frequent occurence, the speed tester says "your IP profile is 250k".
We had an engineer out 3 weeks ago for the same problem but he could find no faults at the house, said there were no reported faults on the local exchange and the morning before he arrived the IP profile had already been reset to a more usable level. Rang the call centre again today and after wasting about an hour trying to explain the problem then waiting for him to check things and call me back, then explaining the same thing over again, absolutely nothing has been resolved and they want to send out another engineer.
I have a couple of very simple questions which the customer services team seem incapable of answering:
1. what is the reason for my IP profile being set so low?
2. what needs to be done to fix it now?
3. what needs to be done to stop it happening again?
I don't think the guy I spoke to actually knows what an IP profile is, let alone how to resolve a problem with it. What is the point of a technical support helpline when the staff quite obviously have no technical knowledge?!

Have spent another hour of my life on the phone to BT helpline this afternoon.
Apparently the reason we hadn't received the call back yesterday was due to a "technical issue" at their end and the request had not been passed on to the engineer team.
Having gone through exactly the same conversation and process as on Tuesday, the helpline chap has run his tests and when pressed told me that he could determine no faults on the line. An engineer might be able to determine other faults though so he would like to book an appointment for an engineer to call.
Unfortunately, even though I've waited 2 days for this already because they didn't pass on the engineer request the other day, they can't do anything to prioritise the call so I've now got to wait up to another 48hrs for somebody to ring me to book the appointment. As its Thursday now, that probably means that it could Monday before that happens and therefore probably the middle of next week before the engineer actually gets to the house. So another week of broadband that is barely faster than dial up.

Yet Another YouTube Connection Issue

Hi,
Long time Mac user, 1st time poster
Yes, I have the (apparently) infamous "I can't get the YouTube URL to work" problem. I have gone thru a number of the related/similar questions already on the ASC but still no joy.
For the past few months I cannot get my MacBook Pro to even see/load Youtube.com while at home using our iMac as a WiFi hub. It is not a video/Flash issue as I can load/view streaming video from many other sites. If I go on the road, Youtube loads & works fine. Our boy's Window's PC loads & runs Youtube fine from the same iMac at home. Wife has the same issue as me with her MacBook. It is only Youtube that will not load as an URL (as well as any imbedded YouTube videos).
The fact that two MacBooks have the identical problem running off the same WiFi connection (plus that the site works when using other hot spots) leads me to suspect its something on the iMac that is not allowing our MacBooks to load this site, but yet an old PC laptop using the same WiFi as us loads YouTube fine.
On the MacBook end I tried the HTML5, the direct IP, clearing all caches (including Library ones), reseting Safari, trying other browsers (Firefox has the identical problem), etc....and still can't see Youtube.com.
Could there be something on the iMac that is blocking this one site? The iMac is o-l-d & is simply used for WiFi.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

Even the cheapest wireless router will work much better than what you have as a WiFi access point, and over the life of the device you'll probably save enough on electricity to recover the cost.

[SOLVED, sort of] Yet another UEFI boot issue

Hello everyone,
Let me start by saying sorry for the long (first) post.
I've ended up with a UEFI boot problem I can't solve. I've searched the forum and internet and I realize I'm not the only one who ran into problems with UEFI. Unfortunately, the problems other have had seem not similar to mine. I've spent almost 2 days now trying to figure this out, and I'm getting nowhere (though I've learnt some more about UEFI, which I guess is good). I was hoping someone here can give me some hints on how to proceed.
So lets start with the background. I recently bought a new computer (Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530 with Windows 8) and of course I want to run ArchLinux on it (been using ArchLinux for almost 7 years now and no plans on switching). Installation went ok with only a few problems during installation that I managed to solve (or so I thought). I must admit I didn't follow the guide fully. I didn't want to remove the Restore and Windows partitions, so I figured it would be safe to reuse the existing UEFI System Partition, as long as there was enough room, which there was. Anyway, I now have a computer I can boot into ArchLinux and also Windows 8, just the way I want it, almost. There is this one final issue I haven't been able to figure out how to solve.
The problem
Whenever I reset/power on the computer, I must press Enter during the initial screen (showing a Lenovo logo, and a message about pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup). If I don't press Enter before the timeout (a second or so), the screen will go white and that's it. No beep, no message, no nothing but a white screen. A power cycle is the only way to leave this state. Occasionally the screen will be a white bar at the top and random colours below, but I'm guessing this only represents what is in graphics memory at the time (0x00, 0xFF or any other random value).
If i do press Enter however, then I'm presented with a menu where I can select what to boot; rEFInd (which is preselected) along with Windows 8 and some restore and diagnostic entries. Pressing enter will take me to the preselected rEFInd, pressing enter again (or wait for timeout) will boot linux, and I'm in. Nothing weird there. And if I select Windows in rEFInd, then windows boot, just as expected.
There is no difference whether I'm switching from Windows to Linux or Linux to Windows or just reboot the same OS I was using again. The result is the same whatever I choose to boot.
So the question is: Why do I have to select rEFInd manually and go through all these menus? Should I not be able to just power it on and let it boot the preselected rEFInd entry and continue from there, without me helping it?
Trying to solve it
Searching here and on the internet gave me some ideas on what to try, so here is a list of my attempts:
efibootmgr show me there is a rEFInd entry, and that it is the first one in boot order
I copied refindx64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (replacing an existing entry)
I've updated the EFI firmware (from Lenovo) to the latest and greatest
One other guy had almost the same issue, but with a single boot of Windows. He solved it with Microsoft Boot Manager (there is an Automatic Repair, or something). I even dared trying this, though I must admit I was a bit hesitant about letting some Microsoft program trying to repair my computer. Anyway, it said it couldn't repair my problem, nor did it say I had one, so I am none the wiser.
None of the above gave anything.
So, that's it. I guess I can live with having to press Enter on every power up/reset, but it is very annoying having to do so, and even more so when I forget it because then I'm forced to power cycle it. I hope someone reading this can figure out what's going on, because I am clueless.
Best regards,
Johan

WonderWoofy wrote:@srs5694, have you thought about filing a bug report/feature request about the naming scheme here? I would imagine that something coming directly from the upstream developer would be something that they should take into consideration. Also, I imagine that renaming it to refindx64.efi kind of goes against the whole "vanilla packages" thing we tout around here... so it really makes me wonder why it is done in the first place.
I've just done that:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33326
It's not been very important until recently; but I've been putting a lot of effort into the ancillary support scripts (install.sh and mvrefind.sh). They necessarily rely on the files having certain names, so installing them under other names robs users of functionality.
6feet5 wrote:I've decided to try and restore the whole unit, thinking it would take maybe an hour or two. It's been running now for almost 3 hours and only completed 20%.
Good luck with that!
FWIW, it seems that the number of EFI-related bug reports on Linux forums has gone way up recently. No doubt this is because EFI is now pretty much universal on new computers, so problems that used to affect one or two people now affect dozens or hundreds, and some of those post about them.

[SOLVED] YASBI (yet another screen brightness issue)

i feel silly posting this, as there seems to be a lot of documentation about this, but i'm kind of baffled. if i run
echo "5" > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
as root, everything works nicely, my screen turns it's brightness down to half-way (max brightness is 10).
if i run the same command as sudo, i get a permissions error. my final goal is to bind this to a key in openbox, but first i need to figure out what i'm doing wrong. do i need to be part of a certain group? do i need to edit my sudoers file?
thanks in advance.

i have solved this, and am posting how here for anyone else who might come across this in a search. this is what i came up with:
added the following to my /etc/rc.local:
chgrp users /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness && chmod g=+rw /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
then i came across this script on another forum post, and saved it to /usr/sbin/brightness, made it executable and chgrp users:
#!/bin/bash
file="/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
level=$(cat $file)
if [[ "$#" -eq 0 ]]; then
cat $file
elif [[ "$1" = "-" ]]; then
echo $(( level - 1 )) > $file
elif [[ "$1" = "+" ]]; then
echo $(( level + 1 )) > $file
fi
then in my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml i added the following code to bind the commands to my Super+Up and Super+Down :
<keybind key="W-Up">
<action name="Execute">
<command>brightness +</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Down">
<action name="Execute">
<command>brightness -</command>
</action>
</keybind>

[Solved]Yet Another HAL / Mounting issue....

My issue can be avoided by manually mounting a device, just to get that out there.
Whenever I transfer a larger file ( > 200mb) onto a removable USB device formated in either FAT or any non-journaled filesystem, Thunar will *pretend* like its unmounting the device but after about 20 seconds it states:
Failed to unmount "<device name>".
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,
the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired,
or the network connection was broken.
On top of the message, my data written is mostly corrupt.
What I know:
** Thunar uses exo-unmount to unmount devices given a HAL uuid. Maybe this is failing? Any clue how to debug this?
** 20-storage-methods.fdi states that all vfat mounted devices have 'flush' and 'async' mount options... could this be an issue?
** I'm part of the 'storage' and 'power' groups.
** i start XFCE using ck-launch-session startxfce4
I've made sure that the device has no other handles and is not open in any window. My system(s) all have new and updated HAL and DBUS, as well as every other package. Running 'sync' after writing the files sometimes fixes the issue. Does anyone have a fix for why removable drives aren't "sending a reply" ? Thanks!

Alright ... well. I managed to solve this kind of. As per my last post regarding the same exact issue, I must've missed a reply from Inxsible telling me to use the FIRST suggest UDEV rule from the arch udev wiki.
The result of this is basically...
*Device inserted
*Mounted in /media/<device name> automatically
*(No access via Thunar sidepane since it gets mounted with `mount`)
*No need to manually unmount
*just unplug or power off the device and it gets "lazy" unmounted via `unmount`
Downside:
*Mounting a drive via TrueCrypt creates a directory in /media that doesn't get automatically deleted.
*Not a solution to Thunar having response issues with unmounting.

Yet another CD burning issue--won't finish "finishing"

The subject pretty much says it all. When I try burning a CD, the computer seems to go through the process just fine until the status becomes "Burning disc.....finishing," at which time, it stops. iTunes still works and is responsive, but the CD won't finish.
I've also tried burning discs with Windows Media Player, but it doesn't seem to work either.
Immediate responses would be greatly appreciated--I need to burn a disc as a gift ASAP!
Thanks in advance.
(Please note that at the time I ran the diagnostics, it still said it was "Burning disc.....finishing." Not sure if that's relevant or not, but figured it was worth noting anyway.)

Could not open CD handler, 5. Problem with installation of drive in Windows or drive contains copy protected CD.

Drive is empty.
The last failed audio CD burn had error code 4220(0x0000107c). It happened on drive D: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-224B on CDR media at speed 12X.

hmmmmm.
i think i found your drivers and downloads page at Emachines:
Emachines T-series T1150
but there's not a lot of items of interest available there.
on the other hand, according to Samsung's support site, there's a newer version of the firmware available for your SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-224B. you've got R201, and they have R205 available for download:
Samsung SW-224B
so it might be prudent to contact your Emachines technical support, tell them you're troubleshooting a burning issue, and asking them if the newer R205 firmware is compatible with the particular Emachines system that you have.

Yet Another Slow DSL Issue - Speed No Better Than Dialup?

I consider myself fairly computer savvy (as I work with them as a profession), but must admit that Internet Connectivity is not my forte...
I currently subscribe to the Hi Speed DSL Enhanced - lately, the speed has degraded to not much better than dialup. I have had this service for several years - nothing has changed on my end hardware-wise, so this event is not assumed to be from my end.
I am running:
Westell 6100 Modem (Transcever Rev 7.2.3.0/Software Version 4.04.03.00)
NetGear RangeMax Duo Wireless N-Router #WNDR3300
(2) computers are hooked up:
(1) XP - hardwired directly to the Westell modem
(1) Win7 - hooked up via wireless
Both computers are running latest version of OS, IE and all software is up to date.
Both computers use Kaspersky Internet Security (internet speed the same whether it is ON or OFF)
Absolutely NO Maleware/Spyware or Viruses on either computer
I reboot the modem several times/day - with no result in increased speed
(2) phones installed in home - both with appropriate filters installed
My 1st resort was to call support - I can tell you that will be the LAST time I utilize that 'service' I have come to the end of my rope with waiting extended periods of time, only to be connected with a foreign country, with a poor connection, with an operator that barely speaks english, only to have them read thru a script telling me to do ridicuously stupid things like 'reboot the modem' (no kidding) or swap my hardwire CAT cable from my computer to modem end-for-end?
Next resort was this forum - infinitely more helpful!
Ran a Transceiver Stats Check as a baseline - Speed (Down-Up) was a crappy 96 Kbits/sec by 448 Kbits/sec
Then I tried a couple suggestions from this forum - my new Transceiver Stats:

7.2.3.0
Vendor ID Code:

Line Mode:
G.DMT Mode
Data Path:

Line Attenuation (dB)

31.5
Transmit Power (dBm)

11.9
HUGE improvement eh?
One thing I did notice when attempting to check for newer version of modem firmware - when trying to update from web it gave me a 'Cannot Connect to Server Error'?
Speed is noticeably increased - but is it still where it should be?
If not, what other fixes should I attempt?
And finally, why is it that every time the weather gets even slightly inclement (sky clouds over, rain, thunderstorm, etc) our DSL goes off entirely?
Thanx for all your help in advance!

Can you fill us in a bit on what you did to improve the synch speed on the modem? Did you find some advice around here to connect the modem to your NID or did you investigate for damage to the home wiring? Your line should be running at a higher speed, which for what you seem to have is 1184kbps down, 448kbps up.
Do you also have voice service with Verizon? If so, how is that, especially during storms? Getting any noise on it? It could be possible if the line is not having issues due to corrosion, somewhere along the line shielding could be missing, and in comes a storm CRC'ing the line out of service.
