[SOLVED]Setting x11 keyboard map PERMANENTLY for all.

Read carefully through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg.
Ran 'localectl set-x11-keymap gb' as instructed.  Confirmed this creates: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
Ran 'grep "config directory" /var/log/Xorg.0.log'  which confirms that this /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is where it's looking.
Ran 'grep "xkb"  /var/log/Xorg.0.log'  which confirms that 'Option "xkb_layout "gb"' is the ONLY one found. (it appears several times).
But setxkbmap -print -verbose 10 shows xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev"  }
and the keyboard map is STILL 'us'.   @=" etc...
Reread the wiki, still don't understand.
Typing 'setxlbmap gb' into a terminal works for the session.
Adding that to .xinitrc before the window manager command has NO effect.
I tried adding the option to 10-evdev.conf, but that doesn't do it.
So HOW DO you set the damn thing permanently?  Clearly evdev is not logging what it is doing in Xorg.0.log, so where is it logging?
Something seems to have changed since the wiki article was written.

Sorry for the noise.  The Window Manager (Cinnamon) is changing it!

  • Release date set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files

    I have an ongoing problem with iTunes on my MacBook Pro where the release date is set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files. Although I can seemingly correctly sort by release date, the date is the same across all files. Can someone advise as to how I might go about correcting this such that the actual, proper, release date is shown? Thanks in advance for the help! - mvrb

    @King_Penguin thanks for your help
    See below some additional info:
    I have 3 Macs:
    1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
    1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
    1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
    1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
    2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
    FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US. 
    I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
    I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

    How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

    I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

  • How to set the same General settings for all users

    Hi Experts,
    How can i set the same general settings for all users e.g. marking the checkbox "Display header" to true for all users? General settings are possible under User Settings Button.
    Regards,
    Arti.

    Hi Arti!
    You can default user settings in a PFCG role, in the "personalization" tab.
    If you have a PFCG role that is common to all your users, you can set the default values here.
    However it does not prevent them to change these settings later, except if you modify the "user settings" fields properties in cProjects application.

  • How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

    I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
    Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
    Best regards
    Jonas

    In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
    ) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
    See:
    *http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
    You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • How can i set a global error page for all error cod

    how can i set a global error page for all error code?
    i don't want to leave a long list in the web.xml file.could any one help me?
    thanks

    If u have a common Error JSP named as ErrorPage.jsp
    You need to have the following piece of code in the JSP as :
    <%@ page isErrorPage ="true"%>
    This makes it as the Common Error Page for the Application. Now all you need to do is from other JSP's throw the Exception to teh container. The container will redirect to this Page and process accordingly.

  • How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

    How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
    I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

    Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
    If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

  • My itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
    I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
    After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
    To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this...

  • Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

    How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?  
    Artoo

    I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
    Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
    After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system.  You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
    What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template.  This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents.  The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
    General Items
    Documents
    Pictures
    Music
    Videos
    When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents.  If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
    then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template.  That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
    template.
    Changing the Other Four Templates
    If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done.  If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
    Select a folder that contains music items
    Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
    Customize the folder to your personal preferences
    Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
    A fifth step would be:  When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
    Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
    or the automatic re-templating of folders.
    THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
    but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
    Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
    to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
    The search that actually solved it:
    "do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
    good luck, this worked for me!
    EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

  • Export all maps (mappings for all dimensions in EXCEL)

    Hi,
    it shouldn't be an unknown issue - but unfortunately I can't find the way :-(

    Below is updated code with the following changes :
    - Adjusted SaveAs logic to prevent Excel prompts in the event the file already exists, etc. (i.e. DisplayAlerts TRUE / FALSE)
    - Added Range creation logic for each worksheet page. If I really wanted perfect code, could do this better, but it gets the job done.

  • [nForce] Lets solve this 1394 problem once and for all.

        
    Hi guys,
    For the past 3months I have been trying to connect my Panasonic GS150 to my comuter in order to use Avid dvxpress pro. I have the problem of when I connect the camera to the computer, nothing happens. I also have this problem with my Ipod, however testing various different devices with the computer produces a strange outcome. Various different cameras work, xp pops up witha found new hardware device (like it should). Its very strange.
    I started to think it was my system. I changed my onboard firewire to a pci card, same solution. So then, i reinstalled windows, same outcome. So i bought a new motherboard nforce2 platinum and to my total amazment, same problem. If was after i had totally failed in finding the solution that i started to look elsewhere on the net for anyone who knows the answer. It seems to be a VIA firewire chipset problem. Every post of people who had similiar problems where looking for the answer but NOONE has solved it, ive come across about 1000 posts with no reply's. Its a problem that thousands have but not many people ever use ther're firewire ports so they dont they've got the problem.
    I really dont know what the problem is anymore, is it windows, is it certain 1394 devices, or is it the Via chipset. I havent a clue, so if anyone wants to attempt to solve this problem once and forall they will be the hero of about 3000 potential customers...
    Anyone?

    Yes thats correct.   Regardless of the hardware, and various 1394 devices are recognised. I've bought a 4pin to 4pin cable which i will test with different devices to see if they are consistent with a 6pin to 4pin cable, it may be a power issue. Not sure what chip on pci card, heres the info from website.
    - Three external 6-pin FireWire ports
    - Interoperable with existing, as well as older, 1394 consumer electronics and peripheral products
    - Complies with OHCI requirements
    - Compliant with IEEE 1394a-2000 standard
    - Isochronous transfer support (guaranteed bandwidth) for DV video data transfer from Camcorder to PC
    - Provides three fully compliant cable ports, each supporting 400Mbits/sec, 200Mbits/sec and 100Mbits/sec traffic
    - Plug and Play & Hot-Swappable for all ports
    - Power overload and protection failure on each port
    - PCI bus master with PCI 2.2 Bus specification
     

  • How to set CHAR/BYTE as default for all entities attributes

    Hello,
    We'd like to have a way to set as a preference in the OSDM the Unit CHAR for all attributes who has datatype VARCHAR2 and CHAR, instead of the user have to set it manually for each attribute. Actually the database works or in one way or other. It means that if I have to set the Unit CHAR for one attribute, I'll have to set for all others.
    The preference "Show CHAR/BYTE Unit........." available on the Preferences dialog of the OSDM only show or not the information in the DDL script.
    Thanks

    Hi Nelson,
    The application developer should have only the option to set or not it for whole relational or physical model if the "length semantics" are Byte or Char.If database allow char/byte semantics to be set at column level we should support it. Otherwise you'll come and complain Data Modeler doesn't support it.
    In a real world the developer doesnt have to choose which columns are byte or char, it strictly depends the characteristis of the database defined for the database administrator.This workflow is supported by Data Modeler - you have an option char/byte semantic to be excluded from DDL generation and the setting at database and session level will come into effect when DDl script is executed.
