You knew it was coming: kernel build issues after kmod upgrade

Good morning,
After reading the BIG SCARY NOTE on the mailing list, I just *had* to upgrade my system and kernel. Following a -Syu, i built a kernel from the latest source (3.5.0-rc5+). Naturally, it built just fine. However, when i ran 'make modules_install', it installed the modules into /lib, which i was expecting. Moving on from *that* test, i ran:
make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr/ modules_install
(Note that the INSTALL_MOD_PATH is /usr, NOT /usr/lib/modules/. This is because of how the variable is used)
Anyway, that command installed the modules correctly, but shot this error when it tried to depmod (paraphrasing. the important bit here is the path):
ERROR: Failed to open /usr//usr/lib/modules/98.99.3.5.0-rc5-custom+: no such file or directory
Interestingly enough, running a simple 'depmod 3.5.0-rc5-custom+' works fine, and all is well. the kernel runs fantasticly, right up to the nvidia module.
So, i submit to you:
What is the prepended "98.99." in the file structure about, and why is the kernel's built-in depmod prepending usr twice?
Thanks folks,
Aaron
EDIT: For clarity, the 98.99 isn't actually there in the file structure, just in the depmod command the kernel makefile runs following modules_install.

The sequence goes something like this:
In a clean, vanilla tree, make tar-pkg borks with this message (the same one the OP reported):
ERROR: could not open directory /home/sujith/dev/wireless-testing/build/tar-install/usr/usr/lib/modules/99.98.3.5.0-rc5-wl: No such file or directory
After adding the fix you posted:
ERROR: could not open directory /home/sujith/dev/wireless-testing/build/tar-install/usr/lib/modules/3.5.0-rc5-wl: No such file or directory
After fixing the 'buildtar' script to use '/usr' as the install-prefix (note the extra 'usr'):
ERROR: could not open directory /home/sujith/dev/wireless-testing/build/tar-install/usr/usr/lib/modules/3.5.0-rc5-wl: No such file or directory
After a dirty hack using dirname to strip the extra 'usr' (at this point, I just wanted to move on :-) ):
Tarball successfully created in /home/sujith/dev/wireless-testing/build/linux-3.5.0-rc5-wl.tar
Hope that clears things a bit !

Performance Issues after an Upgrade

Hello!
We are experiencing performance issues after we upgraded to a new version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1). At this point, I am not too sure about the actual causes for this degrade in performance but I am trying to narrow down the causes and need your inputs. Please help me with your ideas.
1) What could be the causes/factors for the performance to degrade after an upgrade?
2) Does the performance of a script depend on the user credentials i.e. who is launching the script? Whether it’s the super admin of the application/application owner or an application specific admin?
3) Does the performance of the scripts depend on the place you are launching it from? For example - will the performance differ if it’s launched from MaxL Vs EAS?
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
- Krrish

There are a number of bugs 12600557, 12675485, 12669814, 12698488 logged in for 11.1.2.1 - If you use Internet Explorer 8 and have data forms designed to use a large number of sparse dimension members in rows or columns, you may experience performance degradation when opening the data forms.
This has been fixed in Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.1 Patch Set Update (PSU): 11.1.2.1.101 which is available on My Oracle Support as Patch 12666861.

IPhone syncing issues after iTunes upgrade

Hi
I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 for Mac. During the install I got a kernel panic and had to restart. iTunes seems to be installed fine. When I connect my iPhone I get messages like "some content will not be copied to the iPhone as this computer is not authorized" or such like. So now several apps, videos and music has been wiped from the iPhone.
I tried authorizing the computer but I just get "This computer is already authorized".
there does not seem to be any particular link between the erased content. Some was purchased on the Mac and some on the iPhone, all from the iTunes store. Before I updated iTunes everything synced fine.
I can d/l the apps again direct to the iPhone but I can't find a way to get the missing music and videos back on the iPhone. Very annoying.
Would re-installing iTunes help?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
Try highlighting the one of the songs that will not sync in iTunes> cilck File> Get Info, check the account name and verifying you are authorizing the computer with correct account.
If the issue persists, try removing the SC Info folder as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
If you still see the issue after removing the SC Info folder, try reinstalling iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

Really big issue after last upgrade

After invoking
pacman -Syu
this morning something really strange happened : it upgraded my kernel headers and docs to kernel 2.6.35.7, but did nothing to the kernel itself. After the install of all packages, I went to the '/boot' directory and it was empty except for the 'grub' sub-directory. Since the kernel was still loaded in memory, it was only a matter of doing
pacman -S kernel26
and it installed the kernel and initramfs image. All this happened while I rebooted in console mode to uninstall gtk/gnome completely and install kde.
After that I went to check my system configuration file 'rc.conf' and guess what, it was missing too and after that I noticed that 'inittab' had also been deleted. Luckly I edited both files with vim which made backups in 'rc.conf~' and 'inittab~' respectively, so it was easy to restore both. After having a quick look at etc I decided to reboot the system(default runlevel was changed back to 5 so I could boot kde directly) but something was strange after reboot(I expected that) : nouveau framebuffer driver did not load and I never entered KDM, getting a terminal login instead. Also noticed that the PS1 variable was not set. After trying to edit my configuration files I kept getting that this was a read only file system and could do nothing until I booted with an old ubuntu livecd. After checking on 'inittab' again I noticed the following files were missing(sadly, I never edited them):
- /etc/rc.sysinit
- /etc/rc.single
- /etc/rc.multi
- /etc/rc.shutdown
Has anyone experienced this 'accident' before? If so, do you have any clue how I might recover those files? I would rather not reinstall the system.
Thanks in advance.

pacman -Qo /etc/rc.sysinit reports owned by package initscripts ... which you could re-install ... might be worth reviewing logs and see if you can figure out whats going on first though ...
Thanks, after manually installing the 'initscripts' package in '/var/cache/pacman/pkg', my system was restored. As for what happened, I believe it was some bug with pacman, as the 'initscripts' package was uninstalled after the system upgrade. That package was part of the 'base' meta package which was upgraded as a whole. After the restore I issued :
pacman -Sf initscripts
to have the package 'officially installed'.
As I stated, 'initscripts' was not the only package uninstalled after the system upgrade, kernel26 was lost too(but kernel26-docs and kernel26-headers were upgraded successfully). After the restore I tried to start kde with 'startx' and got a message stating that '/usr/bin/X' could not be found/executed. That was solved by reinstalling the 'xorg' meta package, but I believe some package of the 'xorg' group was also uninstalled after the upgrade.

Issue after solman Upgrade

Dears,
We were using solman 7.0, connected to ECC 5.0 server.
We configured all activities EWA,System Monitoring and all were working fine.
Now we upgraded solman to 7.01(EHP1) and R/3 to ECC 6.04 .
1 - My first concern is after upgradation it should automatically pick details but is is still showing ECC5 in product version.
We performed Read data from remote system also but still same issue.
2 - When I go to EWA or system Monitoring I only find Prd server there while in solution's logical component all dev,qas and prd servers are available.Earlier before upgrading it was showing all systems in EWA and system Monitoring.
Please suggest.
Shivam

Hello Shivam
For point #2 please look closely at the solution containing the systsem and make sure that 1) The Dev, QAS systems are included, and are highlighted greeen ( Meaning they are status "Put in Solution"). It sounds a lot like this setting is not done, therefore the systems would not show when you would try and use that solution in functions like EWA, BPMON, etc.
It sounds very much like when you create a new soltuion with PRD, QAS, DEV systems assigned, but only the PRD system is "Put in Solution" by default, so you explicitly need to right click the system in change/edit mode, and select "Put in Solution", then save.
Now why this might be the case after the upgrade, I don't have an answer, but it is worth having a check as the symptom fits this issue. I would advise you check the solution itself and ensure the DEV and QAS systems and in status "Put in Solution".
Hope this information is helpful.
Regards,,
Paul

Web dynpro ABAP- small issue after EHC1 upgrade

Hi All,
We have a Web dynpro ABAP report and it was working fine before the EHC1 upgrade. After the upgrade we noticed that the row count in ALV greed was disappeared.
The report used to show 25 records per page and we were able to jump to the other pages by clicking on row count that was placed right below the report. Now report shows all the records and we only have scroll down option.
Any idea where to look/ how to fix this issue?
Regards,
Mike

In addition to applying that note, you also must deactivate Lightspeed rendering. To me that's too extreme of a thing to do just to get paginators. You loose the huge rendering performance improvements and it also means you can't use any of the new UI elements from 7.01.

Permissions issue after Mavericks upgrade

I have just updated an early 2008 IMac with OSX Mavericks.
All software running fine, but I noticed occassionally I was getting an authentication prompt on some files, didn't follow, but simply authenticated as and when I need to, I assumed it was when I moved files from my Mac Pro to my Imac.
Having run the upgrade however, I get an error message to contact the vendor (Battlefront) as my copy of Combat Mission Battle for Normandy has lost its license.
After the upgrade I had also purchased from the same vendor Combat Mission Fortress Italy. Having downloaded this and gone to run after copying to applications, this software gives me an error message saying unknown developer so I have got no where near installing a license.
Having contacted the vendor and tried to get a work around, I am now getting the message it is you Mac not our software, despite the fact that all my other software is working fine (and the fact that the Combat Mission Battle for Normandy game worked fine until the upgrade).
I do feel some sympathy for them, I do think the Mac has some sort of permission issue - I also probably compounded this by deleting a user which I did not recognise called 'wheel' which I suspect now is some form of default permisison.
Anyone got any ideas, how do I 'reset' the system - I have tried fixing the permissions through disk utility.
My vendor got me to run a sudo command through Terminal, but I got the message...
sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

Authroization issue after the Upgrade for Multiprovider

Hello Experts,
After the upgrade has carried out in my Quality system, I'm unable to execute a query because of the authorization issue with Multiprovider. But earlier the same Authorization was assigned to the ID.
The Role in Q and the Role in P is same. Right now P is with 3.1 and Q is with BI7.
In both the system I have the same Role. But in Q it says that: Error You have no Authorization for Multiprovider XXXX
This is happening for only one Multiprovider in Quality system. There is no change in the Multiprovider from earlier structure to the present structure.
Can anyone give me any idea as to how to solve this issue?
Many thanks in Advance..
Thanks
Raman..

Issue after iOS4 upgrade

iPhoto no longer recognizes/displays photos on my iPhone that have been saved via mms, email or 3rd party app (i.e. colorsplash) after recent upgrade to iOS4. It does show a photo placeholder and will ultimately import the photo but it will not display the photo. Displaying photos taken with the phone itself does not seem to be an issue.

Same issue, but it seems to get worse over time. At first it was just the 3rd party camera apps that iPhoto only displayed dotted white outline. And as you said, if you highlight it, iPhoto imports the picture.
But, it seems to get worse for me. After awhile, even the native camera app gets the same treatment and when you try to import the outlines, you get an error, where iPhoto says the picture format is invalid.
If you delete the cache --user-->library-->cache-->com.apple.iphoto, it seems to reset things for awhile, allowing you to import the dotted outlines once again.

E71 wlan issue after firware upgrade

I just upgraded by E71 to the latest software version. The upgrade went without any issues. After the upgrade I realised that t had removed all my contacts - so I had to restore my backup(I restored the SETTINGS as well). I was using a app for my 'WiFi' (for prioritizing my access points) and after the firmware upgrade - I could not see this app at all. The following are my issues now:
1. I cannot connect to my home wifi(WEP) - it was fine before the upgrade. The first time it says - 'Connection not available' and every subsequent time it irritates by showing 'WLAN already active. Please close the connection and retry'.
2. I have tried to restore the factory settings and it still does not work.
3. I have renamed my Access point to the ones that the app was using - still no luck.
So, what are my options now? Can somebody please help? I never thought a small software upgrade could spoil my whole evening!

Hello,
I have just had EXACTLY the same problem.
I have a Nokia E71 and it was working OK before the upgrade. I just used the latest Nokia Updater and latest nokia pc suite to upgrade to 500.21.009.
The upgrade performed perfectly, and after the upgrade I restored my backed up data.
I have the exact symtpoms as psankar. I have factory reset the phone and tried again. Same problem.
Connection not available, and then connection already active. Small Wireless icon appears at top right of screen, and stays there, but there is no active connection in connection manager.
The only way to remove the wifi icon and to get the phone to attempt to reconnect is to power off the phone, but then on reconnectig then you get connection not available and then the whole cycle begins again.
Help appreciated
TIA
Alex

WD ALV Issue after the upgrade

Hi,
We have upgraded the SAP ECC 6.0 systems basis component SAP BASIS 700 from support pack 10 to 20.
After the upgrade webdynpro ABAP ALV table rows are not getting selected when we click on the rows, But it is getting selected when we we use CNTRL+Click.
I would really appreciate if you can provide me a note or route cause for this issue.
Thanks
Basava

Hi Jawahar,
Below is my suggestion regarding your query:
Edit existing Job server and update the details regarding Local reporsitory and save it.
Now try to map the same job server in scheduled jobs and check it was working or not
Or Else
Create new Job server and assign it to local repository.
In this case you have to update your all real time & batch Job configuration.
Thanks,
Daya

I DVD Soft Frame template issue after Lion upgrade.

Hello, I've just updated my os to Lion but the Soft Frame template in iDVD, (7.1.2) is no longer working correctly. The light coloured background which covers the right hand side of the frame is missing and has been replaced with black. This issue effects sub menus as well. Existiting and new projects using Soft Frame suffer from this problem... Any ideas would be gratefully received! I have tried re installing iDVD but this had no effect.

OK I fixed it, sort of. The .tif file which provides the background image had disappeared. Even deleting IDVD and its themes and re-installing didn't work. So here's what I did:
1) Make a new background. This can be any graduated colour field which you can make on any paint programme such as GIMP. However I grabbed the background from the `Forever' theme which is beige and adjusted the hue to turn it from brown to the blue which was close to the old 'Soft Frame' backing.
Here's how to find the 'Forever' background:
Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Forever-Main.theme
CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
Expand the contents folder and then the resources folder and look for the .tif file marked Forever-Background.tif
Drag this into your photo editing programme and change the colour to what you want.
Save the new file as tpt.tif on your desktop (there is a reason for this filename)
2) Replace the defective backgounds in the `Soft Frame' themes
Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Chapters.theme
CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
Expand the contents folder then the resources folder and look for the file marked tpt.tif and delete it
Drag the tpt.tif file you saved to your desktop into the Resources folder
Now do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Extras.theme
And do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Main.theme
Next time you launch iDVD it will pick up the new backgrounds.
It took me about 10 minutes.
Now I've found where the backgrounds are stored (if you select Project...project info in the iDVD menu the media pane lists the full path) I realise it is easy to put your own backgrounds into any of the existing projects.
I hope this helps.

[SOLVED]-ish boot/device/radeon issues after recent upgrade

Hi, I am having major issues after last update. Basically it seems it is no longer loading drivers correctly at boot. I have a radeon graphics card, and the screen resolution normally switches during the boot process (presumably when the radeon module loads). This is no longer happening, so X is not starting for me. The network card is also not being picked up.
When i look at the boot log there is no errors i can find, but also there is NO [drm] messages at all (there is normally a fair few as it sorts out the graphics card.
I am still investigating, but if anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful (should i be looking at mkinitcpio? or the kernel itself? or the ati-dri ? what exactly were the changes made to the packages in the last couple of days on this sort of thing?

Hi i have sorted it. Unfortunately i am not sure exactly *how* i sorted it, I did another pacman -Suy which installed linux-utils (which i cant see affecting much). Unfortunately i had switched to a custom kernel when i first got the issue with the arch one, when i switched back again suddently everthing started working.
I understand the /usr/lib changes look like they have screwed np my custom kernels modules folder. But i still dont know why i got the problem in the first place, as it was with the arch standard kernel and ram disk if first got the issue. Anyway gone now. and the network card is working too.

NSS Issues After Win10 Upgrade

I have had many of the same issues with the Comcast/Norton Security Suite that have been ID'd in the forum, but have not had a positive resolution. I have tried the downloads numerous times and the installation has failed repeatedly. I have followed the instructions suggested in the threads from "Tazman817" and "USAF", but with no luck. My screen shots are identical to Tazman's, and I have tried both the Norton Power Erase and Norton Removal Tools. I have downloaded the new install from www.norton.com.nss after deleting the Norton folders in Program files. Still no luck. I want to continue to use the Norton product, but after several hours of frustration, I am running out of patience. Are there any other's having these same issues? Are there any other potential solutions? Thank you.

Thanks for the tip, but my experience with Norton was not as successful as yours. I consulted with two techs over four hours (including phone wait time), and they used remote access to delve into the finer points of my system. They used Norton Power Eraser and Norton uninstaller, deleted Norton Program files, and even went into the Registry to make changes. Other than making registry changes, I had used the other tools prior to calling the support line. Based on the Norton Techs conclusions so far, Norton Security Suite cannot be installed on my system after the upgrade to Win 10. I am waiting a few days to find out if they can develop a fix in the future. Until then, I will be using Windows Defender and Firewall, and exploring other options. Too bad, I have liked using Norton's products.
