| and keys swapped in VirtualBox on OS X: rebind in HAL, Xorg, ...?

I'm running Arch in VirtualBox with OS X as host. The keys for | (below escape) and < (right of left shift) has swapped positions.
How can I fix this? I tried to find documentation for the HAL config files, but haven't found anything yet.

I'ld do that with xmodmap
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap
Change the | and < in the ~/.Xmodmap file (< is less and I don't know the word for | but you can find the right keycode by using xev) and try if it works when starting xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap from shell. If so, then let it autostart.

I performed a hard-reset and the computer still worked fine, it seems the flashing process never started. I noticed I had the USB stick plugged into the USB/eSata combo port...wonder if that made a difference. I'll try flashing again using a regular usb port.
Edit: This flash worked perfectly ) Don't know what happened the first time...
Thanks,

well done
the lockup behaviour exactly as described can hapends in very rare cases in ratio 1/100,
its hapends to me think around 4-6 times [from 500 ec updates one after another in a loop],
and in some very rare cases the EnE flasher hangs at startup and FAN spinup @100% and do nothing,
i suspect ec unable to enter in reset mode or its some kind of the EnE flasher bugs,[too small delay to wait the EC for reply]
but its not dangerous, etc: do not contain deadly properties.

Swapping @ and " key assignments (i.e. turning my keyb into a british one)

Hi,
I am sure I could do this Tiger but I have either forgotten how or it's different in Leopard.
I have set up my keyb in the preferences to be british, however this seems to only do half the job. The most annoying thing it doesn't do is swap the " and @ keys on the keyboard. On a UK keyboard the " is SHIFT + 2 and the @ is SHIFT + ' (i.e. the opposite of what they are for a US keyb).
Can someone tell me how to change this please?
Thanks

G serie fn and ctrl swap

Hello,
I just got a g560 with an intel i5-450m cpu, 320 gb hard drive, and 4gb ram.
I got this laptop for 599 off newegg and i'm loving it. However, what really irks
me is the placement of the fn and ctrl keys. Because I am a desktop user, I
am used to the ctrl key in the corner. I checked online in places and heard that
lenovo had a fn and ctrl swapping feature thingy in the bios but when I pressed
f2 as it was starting up, I don't see the function or the keyboard section. Is it
possible to swap the fn and ctrl keys for this laptop?
Please let me know soon
and thanx in advance.
edit : subject edited for common issue.

hey,
thanx for the info.
however, as i checked the drivers and updates from
the lenovo driver download place, I saw that there was
a bios update.
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/APR_Driver_List.aspx?CategoryID=67873&OS=Wi...
my bios version is lenovo 29cn24ww v(1.07)
and my smbios version is 2.6
Please take a look and see if this is actually an upgrade
or if it is actually a downgrade. I just want to make sure
cuz I heard a lot of people saying that after they do a bios
update, their comp freezes up and won't boot up. O.O
Thanx in advance. xD

Two keys swapped with Logitech keyboard

Hi,
I am using a Logitech PC keyboard (dinovo). It works fine except for the fact that the keys for °^ and >< are swapped. This was the way with earlier versions of Mac OS and I recently read a review of a new logitech keyboard in a computer magazine and they mentioned the same problem.
Is there a way to fix this? All other external keyboards work fine. I also have a USB PC keyboard. No problem.
It would be great if there was a solution.
Thanks!

Yeah, because the Logitech one is a kernel extension and a preference pane, so it cannot run under Rosetta. Logitech's site does say that they are working on an Intel version, but it'll probably be a while before it sees the light of day.

Keyboard problem: alt and command swapped

I am currently experiencing a problem with my Apple Pro Keyboard (Model circa 2000 taken from a PowerMac G4). It used to work fine, except now ALT and COMMAND seem to be swapped.
COMMAND + Q instead of quitting, gives me this: œ
Here is the whole qwerty: œ∑´®†¥¨^øπåß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬Ω≈ç√∫~µ
Useful if you want to type strange, but slowly frustrating, as frequent mac users will know keyboard shortcuts are deeply ingrained into reflexes and are hard to change.
Has anyone else experience a problem like this?
How can it be solved?
I have already tried several things: reconnecting keyboard, restarting, checking updates. No significant harware or software change either, it just started randomly.
I have also tried searching google with no luck, results are for different topics with the same search terms.
SEO helper text:
Problem with keyboard alt and command swapped.
Strange keyboard bug alt command mapped incorrectly.
Pro Keyboard alt command not working.
Thanks in advance.

*hangs head in shame*
You'd never guess where I didn't look*: system preferences.
Indeed the 'modier keys' were incorrectly mapped. So its now fixed.
...but I wonder what caused it to randomly switch?
[* That'd be because I'm developing 16 hours a day for my dissertation, it does crazy things to your head.]

Thinkpad E540. Bios update 2.09. Ctrl and Fn swap bug

When i updated bios to 2.09 i see in changelog
Added hotkey support for Fn+P(Pause)/Fn+K(ScrLK)/Fn+B(Left-Ctrl + Break)/Fn+S(Left-Alt + SysRq)
But this change is buggy. I use swapped Fn key and Ctrl. And key combination CTRL+S produces CTRL+ALT. Please fix.
Solved!

Maybe 2.08?

Stability Issues (Freezes) and Mount SWAP Partition during Boot

Hi,
i'm having the following 2 Issues:
1. Stability issues, The System freezes randomly an i have no hint to get rid of the freezes.
2. At bootyp the Swap Partition won't be mounted. If the bootup ist completet and i type "swapon -a" - everything ist ok
Because i'm a Newbie - i don't know how i could get rid of these Problems.
If you can tell me what i could try or what i schould check - please tell me.
thx

Post your /etc/fstab.
thx for you answer. I think i have to explain what i mean with "freeze" --> the pc isn't responding, that mean - no key input, no ssh responding. The PC has noch Graphical interface, only console and is uptodate and acts at home as my "server" thats why i cant say what it is exactly doing.
I think the only way is to get all log-files and search for the issue - what logs do i have to check?
How could i check why my swap partition couldn't be activatet at startup, but after login and "swapon -a" everything is fine?

I have lost Lightroom 5.6 due to a hard drive crash. The old hard drive has been replaced. How can I get LR5 back? I don't have a disc. I still have my LR4 disc and key. I have another adobe key, but don't know if it relates to LR5.

I have lost Lightroom 5 due to a crashed hard drive. I don't have a back up disc, and I dont think I have a key. I have a an adobe key recorded but don't know if it relates to LR5. I have an LR4 disc and key. LR5 is still intact and running on my laptop, but I need to use LR% on my desktop PC. I need an address to try a download so that I can try the key which might fit it. Any ideas how I can transfer the program (with key) from my laptop? Any other ideas?
John Carden <[email protected]>

Just download and install.
you can find by internet search for "download Lightroom", or click here:

Note: trial software is same as licensed software, once you license it.. (I hope you still have the license key).

InfoSet in SAP BI 7.10 and Key figure aggregation

HI SAP Gurus,
I am new in SAP BI area. I have my first problem.
I want to create a report for the profit of goods.
The cost of goods(cogs) are constant for each material for one month.
The formula to calculate the profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month *sales amount.
I have defined in BW time dependent infoObejct with attribute cogs.
I have 2 info Sources. InfoCube for transactional sales data from R/3 and material cogs master data loaded from csv file each month to infoObject.
The info Provider for report is InfoSet (transactional Cube and cogs infoObject) .
My problems are
1) When I create an InfoSet, SAP BW create automatically new technical name for all characteristics and key figures and the first technical name should be alias fr each InfoCube and InfoObject in the InfoSet.
2) The new technical name infoSet erased my aggregation references characteristic (=calmonth)
3) In the report the key figure cogs was aggregated for each customer sales and customers, that means the value of cogs is not constant, when it is aggregated according to customer sales order.
Thanks a lot for your support
Solomon Kassaye
Munich Germany

Solomon find some code below for the start routine, change the fields and edit code to suit your exact structure and requirements but the logic is all there.
4) Create a Start Routine on the transformation from sales DSO to Profit of Goods InfoCube.
Use a lookup from the the COG DSO to populate the monthly COG field in the COG DSO.
**Global Declaration
TYPES: BEGIN OF I_S_COG,
/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER,
/BIC/GOODS_NAME TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/GOODS_NAME,
/BIC/COG TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/COG,
/BIC/PERIOD TYPE /BIC/A<DSO Table name>-/BIC/PERIOD,
END OF I_S_COG.
DATA: I_T_COG type standard table of I_S_COG,
wa_COG like line of i_t_COG.
*Local Declaration
data: temp type _ty_t_SC_1.
*move SOURCE_PACKAGE[] to temp[].
temp[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE.
select /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER /BIC/GOODS_NAME /BIC/COG /BIC/PERIOD from
/BIC/A<DSO Table name>
into corresponding fields of table i_t_COG for all entries in
temp where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER = temp-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
sort i_t_COG by /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER.
loop at SOURCE_PACKAGE assigning <source_fields>.
move-corresponding <source_fields> to wa.
loop at i_t_COG into wa_COG where /BIC/GOODS_NUMBER =
<source_fields>-/BIC/GOODS_NUMBER and /BIC/PERIOD =
<source_fields>-/BIC/PERIOD.
modify SOURCE_PACKAGE from wa transporting /bic/COG.
endloop.
endloop.
5) Create an End Routine which calculates Profit using the formula and updates the result set with the value in the Profit column.
Given your requirement for the profit calculation
profit of goods = sales turn over u2013 cogs of month * sales amount
Write a simple end routine yourself
*Local Declaration
loop at RESULT_PACKAGE.
<result_fields>-profit = <result_fields>-sales turn over - <result_fields>-COG * <result_fields>-sales amount.
modify RESULT_PACKAGE from <result_fields> transporting profit.
endloop.
As the above start and end routines are used to enhance your sales DSO, your fields for customer number and the sales order should already be in your DSO for drilldown.
Let me know how you get on.

Data fields and key fields

Hi,
Data fields and key fields are same as Characteristcs and key figures? Or they are diffrerent?
Thanks,
Radha

HI
Key Fields = Acts as Primary Key for The ODS like Primary of Tables in R3.
Data fields = Apart from Key fields We consider rest as data fields.
Ususally we use Characteristic info Objects and Dates in Key Fields and Key figures in Data fields.
It's decisive factor for overwriting property of ODS or DOS.
Hope this helps.

How do I properly setup pin and gate swap groups on new components?

Hi,
I've looked for some documentation explaining exactly how the pin and gate swap functionality works but I have not been successful.
I am trying to get pin and gate swapping working correctly on some digital logic components that I have created (side question - why no modern 74 series logic components like LVC?) as well as RPACKS and some connectors.
Is it a requirement to create a multi-section symbol to enable gate swapping? I can't seem to get it to work unless the symbol has multiple sections. It doesn't work by default for the RPACKs included in Multisim. If it's possible to do gate swapping by putting the pins of each gate in their own gate swap group I would really like to understand what I'm doing wrong.
In the Component Properties 'Footprint' tab you can define the 'Pin swap group' and 'Gate swap group' settings. I have not seen any documentation explaining this and frankly, I'm quite confused by it when using existing 74 series parts as examples. The single section symbols don't have any pin swap or gate swap groups defined and the multisection symbols have only one gate swap group and then put all inputs in one pin swap group and all outputs in another pin swap group.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to documentation that explains how to do this. The help files are quite poor in my opinion - they seem to only be able to point out the obvious. The 'Getting Started,' 'Fundamentals,' etc. type guides don't mention this stuff at all. The 'User Guide/Manual' (both of which appear to be outdated?) do not explain this and frankly don't have very much information about pin and gate swapping at all.
I'm hoping I'm just missing something obvious.
On a related note - I'm having some trouble working with some of these multisection components. When I want to change the footprint or update the component after making a change to the component in the database I can't seem to find a quick way to do this. It seems that I always have to go through a drawn out process of 'Replacing' each individual symbol section. Is there a faster way to do this?
Thanks,
Kleven

Hi Pat,
I'm working with some SAMTEC connectors. I don't expect you guys to have these built by default in the library - they are somewhat custom. But just so you can consider it, we are using the TFM and T2M family of connectors and I'm adding them as additional footprints for the standard dual row headers. I'm having some trouble with the footprint for the TFM screw-down option since it is a very odd footprint, but I'm going to start a seperate thread discussion for that since I really just need to understand how to manipulate Ultiboard to get the desired result and it's really a different discussion.
As for RPACKs, I'm a little confused about how Multisim currently supports these. The Value tab in the properties dialog only lets you set the resistance. Why isn't this more like the resistor value tab? Since the Value tab is modified like a virtual component it's disappointing that it doesn't offer more capability like the other virtual passives. In my limited experience I've seen the isolated-4 resistor pack used the most, but like I said, that is limited experience. It would be nice if some surface mount footprints were added to the master database for RPACKs in the future. 4x0402, 4x0603, and 4x0805, concave and convex, seem like pretty common footprints as best I can tell.
Virtual components work great in a purely physical design because you can easily change the footprint in the 'Value' property tab. With the provided RPACKs and LEDs you can't do that, so I had to create new components in the User/Corporate database. Of course, the LED can't be copied so I had to create it from scratch. But the RPACK could be copied even though it had a modified Value tab, implying it is a virtual component, if I understand correctly. Maybe these distinctions and limitations are well defined but I found it somewhat confusing that there were several common parts I had to either copy and modify or build from scratch.
Since I created those parts, we updated to the PowerPro version and though I'm not certain, I think I can change the footprint in the spreadsheet view. But in the standard version, I didn't see a way to change the footprint without replacing the component.
Also, it seems like changing the footprint does not behave quite like I would expect. If I have a database part which has multiple footprints mapped already, I would expect to be able to choose between those footprints already supported by the database part when I try to change the footprint using the Properties->Value tab or the spreadsheet view. If I need to change to a footprint that currently is not associated with the component in the database, I would expect to have to edit the database part, add the footprint, map the pins, re-save the component, then update the component in the schematic.
Is my thought process making too many assumptions here? I understand that I am one person creating one design in one specific way. So I'm sure I'm missing some usage cases or intended uses of the tool, especially since I haven't taken any training for this software and have tried to teach myself how to use it over the last 9 months. And I have noticed that even for virtual resistors and capacitors, the footprint selection dialog is the same - a selection from the database and setting up a new pin mapping.
As for 74 series parts, seeing the LVC family would be very nice. This is 3.3V-2.5V and seems like the next logical step for lower voltage support. It would also be nice to see some surface mount footprints with the 74 series parts. This isn't a big deal though - it didn't take me long to create the parts I needed by copying and editing from the Master database. And since I'm not using the simulation models, that made it even easier. Since I haven't looked into the models at all, I don't know if that would have taken longer to convert to the LVC family.
I've probably rambled enough for now.
Thanks!

My battery life at a full 100% charge is about 2 hours 22 minutes (backlight and key lights at lowest level). Should I go complaining to Apple or do I just need different software?

My battery life at a full 100% charge is about 2 hours 22 minutes (backlight and key lights at lowest level). Should I go complaining to Apple or do I just need different software? I've only had my mac book since August 2011. The battery dies in 2 to 3 hours with some web surfing (little video play) and photo editing etc. I really don't feel like taking my computer all the way to the apple store to wait there for 5 hours to hear that I need to call someone blah blah blah. Any advice? (BTW Safari hasn't been working since I last updated my mac, WHYYYY?)
