How do I use the km utility to get a working Swedish keyboard at inst?

Hi,
This is my initial post on this forum. I'm interested in archlinux as I find "the arch way" appealing, however I'm faced by a little problem first thing during the setup. It wasn't easy choosing between newbie corner and the installation forum, after consideration I picked the latter.
I want to install archlinux on my Acer Aspire 1642ZWLMi, which has a swedish keyboard layout. I want to be able to use the swedish characters åäö during and after the installation phase.
The installation CD suggests that I should run the km utility and pick my keyboard layout and a corresponding console font. How do I find information on which ones to choose?
I have tried some of the layouts with the prefix se- (there are four) but I don't know which console font that has the necessary characters. Even if I managed to pick the correct layout I might very well have chosen an incompatible console font to go with it.
Thanks for reading my post. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks for trying to help me. Though I had already tried the suggested combination of keyboard layout and console font using the km utility.
When I run the km utility first thing during install and choose 'se-lat6.map.gz' as keymap and 'lat9w-16.psfu.gz' as console font it still doesn't work. When I type åäöÅÄÖ on my keyboard åæøÅÆØ is displayed in the console. My search results are telling me that æ and ø are the danish (and some other languages) equivalent to ä and ö.
It is also worth giving emphasis to the fact that the km utility just lets me choose keyboard layout and console font. Which means I'm unable to set any consolemap.
If it's not possible to get swedish characters to work during the installation process I guess installating archlinux first and configuring the keyboard, console font and console mapping later is an option.
How did people from outside the US/UK perform their install? And more specifically in my case, people from Sweden?
All suggestions are welcome! I'm quite eager to try out archlinux.

How can I use the setup utility with my gaming adapter?

How can I use this program (the cd that came with my netgear wireless game adapter) to setup my gaming adapter? I want to configure my gaming adapter but it seems like i cannot do so? How can I achieve this?

Hi again,
thought a bit about this...
This thing looks to me like a special sort of wireless router with one ethernet port, which also is a bit old I guess.
With nowadays wireless router, the configuration usually is made using a Web-Browser like Safari or Firefox and accessing the router through a built-in webpage.
The IP adress of the router is also usually 192.168.0.1.
Have a look inside the Netgear-Documentation, to see if this also possible here.

Multiple devices on iTunes account how do I use the iCloud without us getting each others texts

I have 2 iPhones one is mine one is my boyfriends when I downloaded the software he was receiving my texts on his phone even though I chose to only connect his phone through my computer both phones and my iPad are on the Samuel iTunes account I deleted the account from the iCloud to stop it but how do I keep the cloud and stop it from getting our texts on both phones?????

You can keep everyone on your iTunes account all you have to do is have everyone create there own iCloud account. Me, my wife, and my son all have our own iCloud for our own use. I have my 3 devices linked to mine, my son has 2 linked to his and my wife has 2 also. For some reason by default the iDevice will ask you to use your iTunes account but you don't have to. You can create it right from the device itself if you want a @me account which is the way to go IMO. you can also go to iCloud.com and create it there too. We have a total of 8 devices linked to one iTunes account for purchases and everything works like a champ. Hope this helps.

I know who stole my ipod. How can I use the serial number to get my ipod back?

I know who stole my ipod. It's in my ex-friends house. I want to get it back, but I think the tracking number will only be useful to prove it's mine once I get my hands on it.
Any other options or ideas?

Contact the police and give them the serial number.

I'm not entirely sure what you are after here, but based on what you posted you may be looking for something like:

I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

How do I configure the Airport utility to allow more than one rule per port?

How do I configure the Airport Utility (AU) to allow more than one rule per port?
I am on a home network, with broadband cable modem. I have my airport extreme connected to the broadband modem. I have 2 servers in my home that need to be accessed remotely from time (SSH), and they also serve data for an iphone app, so I'm using a variety of protocols. The problem I'm running into is that AU seems to only allow one rule per protocol, so if I go to add another address for access on a specific port that is being used by one of my servers, AU tells me "The Port Mapping Entry Already Exists".
I need to be able to allow SSH on both of my servers, for instance. Am I missing something? Is this doable with AU?
Thanks for any insight.
Khalid

The Port Mapping "rules" on the AirPorts will allow you to: 1. Map a single port to a single IP address OR 2) Map multiple ports to a single IP address.
What you won't be able to do is map a single or multiple ports to multiple IP addresses.

How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
Thanks

Simple question with a not so simple answer.
(a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations. Digital video is processor intensive. The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it. If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus. You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
(b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
(1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
(2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
(3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
(If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
(4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
(5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo. For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

Help needed in using the DocCheck utility

Hi
Can somebody help me to use the DocCheck utility.I need to check that all the java files have the required javadoc tags and they are correct.
I have downloaded the zip file and I have been giving the following commands
c:\javadoc -doclet com.sun.tools.doclets.doccheck.DocCheck -docletpath c:\svk\jdk1.2.2\bin\doccheck1.2b1\lib\doccheck.jar -sourcepath<full path with the file name>
But I get the following error message : No package or class specified.
I also tried giving the following command:
D:\SegaSource\sega\src\com\sega\account>javadoc -doclet com.sun.tools.doclets.do
ccheck.DocCheck -docletpath d:\jdk1.3\doccheck1.2b1\lib\doccheck.jar User.java
But I get the following message:

I have never ran the DocCheck from the command prompt, so I really don't know how to do it, but I do run it succesfully using ant (build tool from apache - jakarta, if you use tomcat you already have it installed).
So.. if you do use ant.. this will help:
<target name="doccheck" depends="prepare">
     <javadoc
          packagenames="${packages}"
                destdir="${doccheck.home}"
          doclet="com.sun.tools.doclets.doccheck.DocCheck"
          docletpath="${doccheck.path}" >
          <classpath refid="project.classpath"/>
          <sourcepath refid="project.classpath"/>
     </javadoc>
</target>If you don't use it.. I guess I was of no help, sorry.

I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive. I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254". Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive? Thanks for your input.
Vince

Connect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
Ciao.

How do i run the disk utility to repair permissions:confused;

how do i run the disk utility to repair permissions
i think i hav the same problem as you all iv been
restarting and deleting and renstaling but nothing seems to work
the only thing i havent don is this repair prmission
thing can someone type some instuctions on how or lead me where to
go

are you using mac OS10.2 or later?
if so, this is what I did to solve this most frustrating
problem. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities
In the Disk Utility window, click on your hard drive, make
sure you're in the First Aid tab, then click on Repair Disk
Permissions.
Once the permissions were repaired, I took the advice of
another user here on the forum and reinstalled Flash Player 6, as
it was the one that was working before I tried to upgrade and it
screwed everything up.
Hope this helps

Formatting Negative Currency using the Java.Util Locale

Hi....
I am using the Locale file to get the currency code of a specified country. The code is given below.
public String setCurrency(String _currency){
Locale locale = new Locale("","PG");
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
this.currency = format.format(Double.parseDouble(_currency));
return currency;
When i pass a negative value as the currency (-200) the string which returns will be as (PGK200) and when i pass a positive value it will be as PGK200......
How can i format this so that when i pass a negative value, the returned String will be -PGK200 ??
If there is anyone who knows how i can get this done please reply soon....
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Nuwan.

Check this out:import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;
public class CurrencyEg {
    private String currency;
    public String setCurrency(String _currency){
        Locale locale = new Locale("","PG");
        //NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
        DecimalFormat format = (DecimalFormat)NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
        format.setNegativePrefix("-PKG");
        format.setNegativeSuffix("");
        format.setPositivePrefix("PKG");
        format.setPositiveSuffix("");
        format.setMaximumFractionDigits(0);
        this.currency = format.format(Double.parseDouble(_currency));
        return currency;
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        CurrencyEg eg = new CurrencyEg();
        System.out.println("200 -> " + eg.setCurrency("200"));
        System.out.println("-200 -> " + eg.setCurrency("-200"));
}I don't know how valid it is to cast and mess about with the format - but it gives exactly the output you were after:200 -> PKG200
-200 -> -PKG200

I am not positive what you did is going to work, but it seems like you did the equivalent of imaging a small disk on a bigger disk. In that case, the first thing to do is update the partition table with fdisk. Start with fdisk -l in the vm for general information about the disk. Hopefully, the additional space will show. Then, work with fdisk to use the extra space. The easiest is to add a partition, then a file system on it. It is also possible to expand the last partition (you might have to delete it first), then expand what is on it (may be RAID, LVM, or the file system), layer by layer. As usual with fdisk, you run the risk of thrashing it all, so you may want to practice on a copy first. Obviously, the extra space can only be added to the last partition of the small disk.
If the situation is more complex, you may have to boot a VM with both the small disk and the big disk at the same time. If you boot the VM off of an iso DVD image, you can then shell out, then run fdisk to partition the big disk the way you want, then use dd to copy the partitions you want in the order you want from the small disk. I am pretty sure not all combinations will work, but you get the idea. You can then take the small disk out, and boot off of the big disk.
Come to think of it, you might just be better off with adding more space as a second virtual disk. You would then be free to partition/format it the way you want without messing with the first disk. Linux is so good with disk management, so many options.
As a general statement, though, I like to put some distance between the high level file systems and the low level disk partitions, so I use LVM (Logical Volume Manager).
Best of luck, keep us posted.
