CentOS installation keyboard locks when it shows language selection option

I am trying to install CentOS 4.2 to test oracle RAC with low cost systems. I have Dell inspiron 530 desktop with Intel Pentium dual core E2180 2.0Ghz processor, 2GB memory and 320GB serial ATA disk drive. It has windows vista home preminum edition installed. I am following the note "Build Your Own Oracle RAC 10g Release 2 Cluster on Linux and FireWire" http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2.html
When I start the CentOS 4.2 install it would show me the welcome screen, then 2 more command windows with lot of verification details, then it shows loading SCSI driver and then when it comes to Choose a language the keyboard gets disabled/locked. The keyboard does not work I had to power off the system to come out. The mouse also does not work.
I have tried burning additional CDs for the CentOS software, I have tried CentOS 4.6, I have tried Enterprise Linux 4.7 from oracle site but all come up to the choose language selection and the keyboard does not work. I have USB keyboard and mouse. I have a KVM switch but I have tried without KVM switch, directly connecting the keyboard to the system, but no luck.
When I tried selecting F2 during CentOS install firrst screen and entered linux noprobe (for disable hardware probing), it passed past the choose language option and allowed me to select keyboard type as US, Then installation method - as what type of media contains the packages to installed - local CDROM, hard drive, NFS image, FTP, HTTP. I have selected Local CDROM, then it showed driver not found and showed a list of drivers as select device driver to load. I am not sure what driver to select. How do I find out what driver to select? Since I am new to Linux install I am not sure if this works or I would be lost encountering more questions.
I have seen one note in internet that linux has some isssues with USB keyboard and mouse and it can be fixed by using PS/2 keyboard and mouse. I need to use a USB ps/2 converter for that. Did any one try this?
Any help on recommended fix is Appreciated. Is selecting linux noprobe during the install a good option? Is there any note or document available to install with linux noprobe? What is Linux noprobe? Can I select it for install without isssues? When it is showing the list of device drivers are they for the keyboard or some other device? (an example of the drivers shown are 2Ware 9000 series storage controller, Adaptec AHA-1522, VIA SATA Controller (Sata-via), Qlogic 1280 etc.)
Thanks in advance.

Try adding the Linux kernel bootparam "irqpoll" to the Anaconda installer's
boot: linux irqpoll
very first question. You may need to wait until you are asked for "extra arguments"; I can't remember what the exact prompt is.
If this gets you through the install, you may need to add a similar clause to the kernel lines in "/boot/grub/grub.conf" on you installed system.

Language Selection Option - Pages 5.

Hello!
I am not to convinced about the Language Selection Options on new Pages 5. I do translations and work with different laguages simultaneously. With Pages '09 I had no problem with language.
Pages 5 does not automatically detects language, how can I enable the auto language detection on Pages 5?

Hi Tom,
thank you for your prompt response. Actually I never removed Pages 4... it's in use 95% of the time. I wanted to know if Apple had done something about that laguange-spelling issue.
Cheers!

Lost language selection option

Hi,
I accidentally upgraded our GroupWise system using the gw8.0.2-92377_full_linux_en package rather than the gw8.0.2-92377_full_linux_multi package.
Now the language selection dropdown box is not there anymore on the WebAccess login screen.
I tried to install the right update package with no success. Can anyone tell me how to get the language selection back?
thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
When reinstalling, did you first manually remove the WebAccess application (rpm -e novell-groupwise-webaccess) package before reinstalling the multilingual one? Could be a difference there.

Issue when reading values of Select-options for Dynamic F4

Hi All,
I have provided dynamic F4 help on class name (ESTCAT) and characteristic name (ATNAM). Both are select options with no intervals. The class name should be entered to get the F4 help for characteristic name, else an message would appear to select a class name first. My message is coming when i press F4 on characteristic name without giving any class name. This is correct but if i enter the class name after this message and do an F4 for characteristic name, it still shows the same message which is not correct. The reason is the class name entered is not captured in the FM RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS output table and it is captured only if i hit enter after entering the class name.
Is it possible to get the class name in the FM output without hitting enter or any other way to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Srilakshmi.

PS 7 locks when certain action is selected

I have had this happen before but can't remember the fix. I'll write it down this time if someone can help me.
As far as I can tell everything works except this...
Open an image, any image.
Select "Image":
Select "Adjustments"
Select "Levels"....The "Levels" slide window does not appear.
Move cursor over the image, the cursor immediately changes to an eye dropper and PS is locked up.
I have tried rebooting and even re-instaling PS but no fix.
BTW: If any of the other functions under "Adjustments" are selected, they function properly. The lock-up occurs only when "Levels" is selected.
Thanks for any help that you might offer.
Jack

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Ralph Austin wrote:
since the "eye dropper situation" happens as it does, I am thinking that it is not a case of the "Levels" panel being off in space somewhere.
Your "eye dropper situation" is exactly what happens when the Levels panel is normally displayed. You just can't see it for some reason. Perhaps it's off-screen or perhaps it's stuck because of a system glitch.
Beyond the above advice, which is likely to solve your problem, it's always a good idea to ensure your video drivers are up to date.

How do I fix the right-click context menu; it has blank entries and shows no selectable options?

recently I have noticed that my right-click context menu looks like it has no entries. It shows up on a right-click, but the whole menu is blank. On further investigation there are scroll buttons on the top and bottom of the menu and if I hover over the up buttom eventually the normal context commands scroll down from above. I noticed this first a few days ago, shortly after the download of 3.6.13. Today I also noticed that some of my menu bars were showing a similar issue with blank entries in the menus. In one case the menu also didn't register where the mouse was, highlighting a command several steps further up.
Is this something to do with the new Mozilla or something else? I only run a couple of addons, Ad Block Plus and Tab Mix Plus. Can try to capture a screen shot of the issue, but difficult since the menu dissapears when I try to do a screen grab!
All help is much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the quick response!
While trying to find info on how to fix this I looked up some context menu addons for FF and tried one. It didn't work so I uninstalled it and after that everything was back to normal. Odd, but there you have it. I still don't know what went wrong in the first place but for the moment it appears to have cleared up.
Next time though I will try loading into Safe Mode if I find any issues (I forgot there was one!).
Thanks for getting back to me again.

Language Selection Menus

Does anyone know how you can switch between languages when creating DVDs? I am wanting to offer a language selection option on a DVD and want the DVD to enter a menu with the selected language. I know that you can do it by duplicating the menus and having one version in one language and the other in the second language, but wanted to know if you can do something similar by using the language function that the manual suggests (which automatically selects the language according to the default language of the player). Any thoughts?

Sure, I didn't mean it in a bad way (calling on Apple people)! Anyway, I sure hope you all are more experienced than me, otherwise we are all in trouble...
I had read through all the threads and articles Drew linked to, but I was still confused.
I was stuck on thinking that having the same menu in different language versions would be the way to go (chapter 10 in the manual, heading "Using Languages With Menus", kind of suggests this), instead of having multiple menu trees but each one in a separate language. I think it was referred to here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1940865
as layered menus, right? I mean the language drop down menu in the upper part of the menu viewer?
SPRM0 wasn't even that important to me, I knew I couldn't rely on people having set the language in their player. I was going to have the user choose his subtitle language on a first setup menu (there is only one audio stream, english, in my project) and then set that [subtitle language] parameter once and for all with a script, using the Set System Stream command. That seemed to be working in the Simulator. I was hoping I could get by with just one menu tree (main, select track, more) and somehow be able to "set" a menu language parameter as well, and sort of stay in that language layer. But apparently it doesn't work that way. Do you understand what I'm saying?
What is the idea behind having layered menus, if you can't really target them? Or can you? At least they never show up as separate language versions in my jump drop down menus.
I know, RTFM. I've read through most of the manual, at least everything on menus as well as scripting, and I've scanned a lot of posts here, but I can't seem to find any info on that. I probably just got it all wrong somehow. Sorry about that, but thanks a lot for helping out! I really appreciate it.

Showing error in passing select option to smartforms

Dear Friends,
I have done program of passing select option to smartforms. But it was showing errorin Types of Global defination that the flat structure is not allowed. So pls guide me.
Thanks in advance,
Pradipkumar

Hi Pradip,
<li>When you want pass select-option from program to Smartform. You need create one structure in SE11 (data dictionary) and Use that under Form interface ->Tables tab
<li>The structure should have the following fields.
low
high
sign
option
<li>The structures should be same in the program and smartform when that is used as interface.
Thanks

Language selection pops up after every boot.

After every reboot, I first get the language selection option. Not a big problem, but I prefer not to have to select the language every time.
Anyone any ideas how to switch this off?

Sometimes the chip itself can differ in size and contact surface.
I remember this from way back, and if changing the SIM won't do the trick I suggest that you try reinstalling the phone software. That should definitely fix this.

Hi Moe,
Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Can you select them with "Arrow left" or "arrow right" key on your keyboard?
