Filename issues in KDE... possibly Locale-related

Hello everyone, fairly new Arch user here. I've been running Arch for a little over a couple months now, and I just noticed that some of my songs aren't loading correctly. The same songs load in Kubuntu and in Windows, but not in Arch. After doing a little playing around, I found that the fonts were to blame. And here is my problem:
A number of files I have, namely songs, have european-style accent marks. However, they seem to not appear correctly in KDE. For example:
"Für Elise" shows as "FÃ¼r Elise"
"La Vallée de cloches" shows as "La VallÃ©e de cloches"
"Liebesträume" shows as "LiebestrÃ¤ume"
...and so on.
How do I fix this so that any filename with such accent marks appears correctly in Arch KDE like they do in Windows and Kubuntu?

KDE and locale.conf

Since last two months I've been having weird issue with KDE, special characters in files don't display correctly.
I've upgraded my configuration files as it was told here
Now, my locale.conf looks like that:
LANG="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
It is working ok when I'm logged on terminal, but in KDE session locale command gives me:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
I'm not sure why, but KDE does not inherit locale settings, any idea what am I doing wrong?

Maybe KDE takes the settings from rc.conf rather than locale.conf? I don't have the latter at all and it seems to pick up the settings from rc.conf so that I get LANG set en_GB.UTF-8 and everything else as C (since DAEMON_LOCALE is set to no in rc.conf).
It definitely doesn't pick some of the locale stuff up, though, since it doesn't show the other generated locales in system preferences...

My hard disk has mechanical issues, is it possible to recover any of the information?

My iMac is a year and a half old, one day I turned it on and it wouldn't load, I mean, it stayed on the white screen with the apple. I tried everything, nothing happened so I took it for maintenance. They checked it and said the hard disk has mechanical issues, is it possible to save any of the information?
How come, using it such for such a short period of time, the hard disk is already damaged?

Apple isn't known to use the highest quality hard drives. The Seagate in my mid-2011 iMac gets a 2 year warranty when sold on it's own, which in a world of 3-5 year warranties, isn't inspiring. I got Applecare for that reason.
Your year and a half old iMac has one of the hard drives that either needs to be replaced by Apple (which may be a refurbished drive, if that matters to you) or you can send your iMac to OWC (macsales.com) and have them install a drive. Apple now uses a proprietary connector which has a sensor included on the drive. OWC has a service where they'll work magic to install the drive of your choice with added sensor, so the system works. If you were to install a regular hard drive yourself, the system thinks the hard drive is overheating and runs the fan on full.

[SOLVED] Post installation issues with KDE 4.7.0

I reinstalled my machine (DELL Studio 540 PC) with Arch Linux 64 bit. I did an install using LVM2 and RAID (have 2 500 GB drives in my machine). Everything went fine with the installation and bootloader (grub2) but I'm having a few issues with KDE and grub2.
1. When booting my machine grub2 gives an error saying "error: fd0 not found" (twice). My machine does not have a floppy drive and has never had one. There is no option in the BIOS to turn floppy off. So why is grub2 complaining about it?
2. With KDE 4.7.0 thumbnails of pdf files are not generated anymore, they were with previous versions of KDE4. Anybody else have that issue with 4.7?
3. I have and Brother DCP-7045n printer in my network and when try to print from a KDE program (Koffice, Kate, Kwrite, Kile etc.), the margins are completely messed up. The print preview on the screens looks right but the actual print everything shift upwards to the right. So things on top of a page are cut off for example. Printing from Gnome/GTK apps (Acrobat Reader, Libreoffice etc.) do not show this behaviour. I 've had this issue with KDE4 since KDE 4.3. Here is the original ustream bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196590
Anybody got an idea how to fix this?
4. Skype is crashing on me on startup constantly several times before it finally runs. I've had this problem since the 2.2.x series got released? Anybody got a fix for that. I was hoping a reinstall would fix that problem (same with the printing issue) but no luck.
5. I'm using KDE's microblogging plasma app to check my twitter account but I can't get to remember my password. Everytime I log into I have to manually login to my twitter and kdewallet is running and has my password stored and everything. This one really pusles me.
6. The final issue I having and issue was also the reason why I wanted to reinstall my machine in the first place. I originally used KDEmod as my desktop but they stopped making KDEmod some time ago when they started working on Chakra. So I removed KDEmod and installed KDE from Arch directly. A nice feature of KDE4 is its ability to generate previews on folders containing images and videos. When I switched to KDE that feature stopped working. So I was expecting that with a fresh install that this work and it does except for folders containing jpeg files. If I have a folder containing only jpeg files no previews/thumbnails are generated on the folder but previews the jpeg files themselves are generated. Does anybody else have that problem with jpegs and folder previews?
Hope somebody can help me with these few issues...

Have you installed grub2 with that --no-floppy flag as described in:

Nope. Is it selected in dolphin>settings>general>previews.

Well that won't be a solution, but you might use choqok instead - at least it stores the password.
To answer your first answer, yes I installed grub2 with the --no-floppy option as mentioned in the wiki. Regarding 2 I don't understand why that works for you then? I have all things turned on under previews (folder, video, jpeg etc.) but as mentioned in my first post I have no previews with pdf files and jpegs do generate on folder previews. Finally regarding 5 the microblogging plasma app worked fine on my old installation even after I updated to KDE 4.7.0. The password issue I'm having is on my fresh install.

The issuer certificate of a locally looked up certificate could not be found. What do I do?

I downloaded a program and got this error message: "The issuer certificate of a locally looked up certificate could not be found" and "The root CA certificate is not trusted for this purpose". What do I do?

* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Gnome issues with KDE apps

Well, I'm trying to check Gnome out, but I really need some guidence..
I'm having some issues running KDE apps, namely kxmame. It just terminates at a certain point. Is there a set of commands I can run in order for my environment to be KDE friendly?
Also, is there a clipboard utility for gnome (like KDE's klipper)?
Thanks.

A few iPod issues (possibly Vista related)

In the past few weeks, my iPod (80GB 5G) has been acting awfully strange, for a few reasons:
- When I try to update it, iTunes (v7.0.2) gives me the error: "Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. An unknown error occured (-69). On occasion, it appears to update normally, but when I check the iPod's contents, it's missing several hundred songs.
- When I try to restore the iPod to factory settings with the 'Restore' button, I get the error message "The iPod software update server could not be contacted."
It seems very possible that these errors are due to the fact that I upgraded to Windows Vista around the time I started noticing these issues. Since the Vista knowledge base doesn't seem to address these specific issues, I'm not fully convinced that this is the case. So...I'm at a loss. Can anyone help me?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
iTunes 7.0.2 does not fully support Windows Vista. For more information about using iTunes with Windows Vista, see the following articles:
iTunes and Windows Vista: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042
iTunes Repair Tool for Vista 1.0: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunesrepairtoolforvista10.html
An update to iTunes is expected fairly soon. The next version will natively support Vista.
About the update server cannot be contacted: that error could be caused by a network setting. See the following article for more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304468. I'm not sure if the windows will look the same in Vista (haven't had a chance to lay hands on it yet...I also have PCs in the house), but it gives you a rough idea. Hope this helps.

Liveview not picking up my template, possibly a relative links issue?

Hi Guys,
I'm upgrading my current website to a new look, the new website has a template and CSS pages. The problem is that when I make a new page and look at it in live view the template and CSS pages don't work
I had someone build the new template and CSS items for me along with a few sample pages. They all work great with liveview and the main difference I can see is the links. In the pages built for me all the links in the template file are coded as (for example) <a href="../index.html"> but when I go FILE - NEW - PAGE FROM TEMPLATE the links spit out as <a href="file:///C|/beta/index.html"> and the liveview doesn't work at all.
I'm including some screenshots of the dreamweaver screen to illustrate what I"m talking about. Any info would be helpful. This is the first time I've worked with templates and CSS so it's probably something very basic, but I'm just stumped. I thought it might have something to do with setting up the site as relative to root or document but that didn't seem to make a difference.

the links spit out as <a href="file:///C|/beta/index.html"> and the liveview doesn't work at all.
That almost certainly means that you haven't defined a site in Dreamweaver. Without a site definition, Dreamweaver cannot create the correct links. See Setting up a Dreamweaver site in the Help files.
Furthermore, since you are creating pages from a template, the template must be in a folder called Templates in the site root.

Exchange 2010 UM (possible Outlook related) issue

Hi all,
I have just finished rolling out Lync 2013 (on prem) as our replacement PBX phone system. One feature that users love is the 'Play on Phone' option in Outlook. I know from previous deployment experience that if you forward a voicemail email, the play on
phone option doesn't appear for the recipient, however in the past I've worked around this by forwarding the email as an attachment. The symptom I'm seeing here is that if i forward as an attachment, the "Play on Phone" button is visible, but greyed
out, if anyone has any thoughts on why this may be it would be really appreciated. All the info i have found so far relates to this function not working at all, which isn't the case for me.

What does a packet capture of the SIP dialog show?
Check basic stuff:
Are all of the CUCM nodes in the Call Manager Group defined within Exchange UM?
Are Exchange and CUCM both using the same protocol (TCP/UDP) and port for the SIP traffic?
Is Exchange expecting a right-hand-side of the SIP URIs to be IP address or FQDN in the SIP traffic?

My opinion on scratching issues, Camera and other hardware related glitches on iPhone 5

Been a cell phone enthusiast, technician so I dumped the Nokia N97 phone in 2010 for Blackberry bold and in 2012 had a first touch of iPhone 4S- I thought this device was beautiful, perfectly designed and finished. Oh what a great piece of art, I’m hooked!
Shortly after getting the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 was launched so I decided why wait 2 years before getting iPhone 5, so I decided to send money to my brother overseas to get me an unlocked iPhone 5 even with all the uncertainties with LTE networks, service provider etc.
At first, my brother thought I was insane to fork out that amount of money to get a phone? Usually money gets sent from Europe and America to Africa and not the other way around, I guess he will never understand why, it’s an iPhone dear brother.
While my order is in “Processing state” I read in the news about the design flaw reported, i.e. the decision to use Aluminum because its lighter, So it happened that the anodization of the Aluminum casing is not properly applied to protect this gorgeous device, these things happen but why is Apple not halting production and really fixing this issue?
Why I am so disgusted is that, Apple is enforcing strict controls at assembly line that would be Foxconn as reports have it but does that prevent the phone from easily scratching after a user buys one? The quality control has now slowed down the production of iPhone 5 and I’m not sure anymore if I will get my iPhone 5 at the expected date.
I don’t get this really; Apple enforces quality controls to make sure no scratches on these iPhone 5s during assembly knowing that when a user buys it, it can easily get scratched.
I am very disappointed in Apple and the current CEO is somehow a failure, I speak under correction but Steve Jobs would have handled this situation more professionally.
Another infuriating response from Apple about purple haze in pictures taking with iPhone 5 where Apple openly informs us to cover the camera before taking a picture- This is ridiculous!
Apple will not be the first to make a technology mess, every major manufacturer or technologist have had their share of design flaw, Toyota recently recalled some of its cars, I think Apple should man-up and fix this crap.
And for the record, I am no Samsung fan, some of you might come up with weird responses insinuating I am a Samsung fan, naturally I hate Samsung phones, I am an IT specialist and I have worked on mobile phone repairs in the past and Samsung are just too fragile, I’m talking from the days of Nokia 3210 and the likes.
What are your views comrades?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

Mid '09 MBP bootup issue - flashing folder; possibly a fried drive?

Hi All,
This is my first post here. Today my 14 month old MBP 15-incher froze in the middle of some casual browsing/iTunes listening and decided to not respond to any mouse or keyboard input. I gave it some time to figure itself out and then after about 5 minutes of nothing, decided to force a shutdown by cutting power (10 second power button hold). Then upon my next boot the computer gives the chime, shows the grey screen (no  logo), does nothing for ca. a minute and a half and then presents me with the glorious flashing questionmark-folder-whatever logo. Just great.
I reset the PRAM (option + command + p + r), tried Safe Booting (shift + boot), tried forcing the laptop to boot into the default os x drive/partition (x + boot), tried booting with GUI boot location selector (option + boot) and, when all mentioned practices failed, inserted a retail copy of snow leopard and booted the machine to the ODD.
Disk Utility confirmed my fears: the main HD has no partitions and the "First Aid" tab can't verify or repair the disk.
Help me out here, guys. Is my drive dead (and all my data gone)? Is this a "directory collapse"-style issue? I had one of those babies a month ago on an '07 white MacBook... a new HDD and two hours of data restoration work for $150 at a local Mac-centric repair shop fixed that issue. But this seems a little more serious.
I was two days away from activating a central Time Machine backup to the home-network-attached 2TB HDD, for both Mac laptops in the household. I was also two days away from getting a Crashplan.com family package (yes, I wanted double backup). Why 2 days from now? Because my Carbon Copy Cloned backup HD (a WD elements 1TB) died a week ago. As in, "started-puffing-out-smoke" died.
Perfect timing.
Ideas? Please?
<Edited by Host>

I also suspect your internal HD has crashed. You can run Apple Hardware Test and then Google any error codes however I believe it's probably gone.
Without any backup yes your data is probably gone, there are data recovery services however they are extremely expensive.
If you purchased AppleCare you can take it an AASP for repair however they probably cannot do a thing about your data. If you are not covered by AppleCare of course the expense will be your however look at this as an opportunity to upgrade the internal HD to something with more storage or is faster.
Once you have the new HD installed you will need the original Snow Leopard Install Disks (or possibly your retail copy of SL) to format the new HD and re-install SL and the iLife applications.

Good luck,

Suspend to RAM/HDD causes strange mouse issues in KDE

I suspect that this problem is related to something taking focus and not releasing it, but I'm having a very hard time identifying what, and I'm not sure on my next steps of investigation.
I have a newly installed Fujitsu Lifebook P701 laptop, set up with KDE (installed with KDE-Base). The system will Hibernate perfectly, either to HDD or RAM. It will come up correctly and get back to the login screen. I am able to log in fine and the mouse always responds correctly here. Once I have logged back in, the mouse responds correctly for a few seconds (this amount of time is variable). After these few seconds the mouse will move on screen, but when clicking it either doesn't respond at all, or responds in an unexpected way (depending on where on screen is clicked). Some examples of this behaviour:
1. Click on the K button in the task bar - Either the K menu opens, but nothing in the menu can be clicked; or the menu doesn't open at all.
2. Click on programs in the task bar - Either the program will maximise/minimise, but doesn't respond to right click; or the program doesn't respond at all (the response can be both for different programs).
3. Click on a link in web page - no response
4. Click anywhere else on a web page - either no response, or text is selected (from a single click).
5. Click on the top of a window - the four arrow cursor immediately comes up and the window starts to move, clicking again doesn't release the window.
Investigation done so far:
1. Removed every activity that is running (task manger, notification etc), the only one not removed so far is the task bar itself.
2. checked .xsession-errors for obvious errors (none found).
3. Used kwin --replace, the issue still occurs after this is run.
4. Closed every program that was running and tested.
5. Read around on the KDE and Arch forums to find anything similar, I can find a couple of posts that are similar, but no solutions as yet.
6. Done a full upgrade to the system (this was a couple of days ago now).
Investigation I've not done so far but am planning on doing:
1. Creating a new user - As the issue started on the first hibernation of the laptop I don't think this will fix it, but it's worth a go.
2. Installing another WM to prove this is a KDE issue (I'm pretty sure it is and I don't have a huge amount of space as I installed an SSD).
I can get the laptop to work again by restarting KDM (systemctl restart kdm) so it's fixable, but I'd really like to get to the bottom of it.
I've posted to Laptop fault as I'm not 100% sure this is a KDE issue, but I suspect it will be (it certainly seems to be similar to other issues that have been identified as KDE specific).
What are your next recommended steps of investigation? I'm really stumped on what could be causing this. As I say at the top I suspect it's a focus issue but I have no idea what is stealing focus and how to find the culprit.

I have similar problems since the last kernel upgrade: Prior to that everything on my laptop worked fine. After, when I close the lid (set to "sleep") the screen returns, the mouse appears to work, clicking on the panel often does not work, the menu may or may not pop up......

Issue regarding access of ABAP related services from portal

Dear All,
We need your input in the following issue:
Scenerio:
we have implemented ess 1.2 on ep7.0
here we have gone for "Enhanced Package 2" for TRAVEL for client requirements so Travel Services are ABAP WEBDYNPRO instead of Standard JAVA WEBDYNPRO and we have 2 transaction iviews on portal.
Now when an end user clicks on travel services, the request is forwaded to ABAP WAS. So, we need to maintain two entries in DNS: 1. Portal url, 2. ABAP WAS
Now the client doesnot want to maintain ABAP WAS entry in their dns. BUT if they do not maintain this than end users are not able to access ABAP related services...
Can you please suggest any possible solution for this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
JJ

Hi,
Per SAP Note 1040325, it says "It is not possible if there is another component between the browser and the message server (for example, a portal)." In your case a firewall between the portal and WAS. So a direct connection between the client and the WAS system is required which is a security risk. The section below gives more detail on why this is the case/
The following is a excerpt from the Portal "Network and Communication Security" guide:-
Please note that the requirement for direct access between the client and the backend is well flagged in the documentation. For instance, please refer to the Portal Security Guide, specifically the section "Network and Communication Security" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b9/c892f1ffc34156883ddd24aec01253/frameset.htm):
'Neither the portal nor the AS Java provides a proxy function. [...] If you have set up a network architecture with one or more firewalls, and your portal integrates iViews that initiate client-backend communication, you must set up access for the client through the firewalls to the application server in the back end.'
So the only secure solution is to install a webdispatcher in your DMZ and forward the requests from the (5) Portal to the (6) webdispatcher as in the graphic below :-
........................................./-> (3) Webdisp -\....................../-> (5) Portal
(1) Client (IE) -> (2) Firewall |.........................|-> (4) Firewall |
.........................................\-> (6) Webdisp -/......................\-> (7) WAS
The original requests bound for the (5) Portal are relayed via the (3) webdisp1 as you can only have one webdisp connecting to one backend SAP system (Portal OR WAS).
Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] weird graphics issue on KDE

look what is this
what is going on here
everything else works fine (posting from chromium right now)
i figure it might be a driver issue
lspci gives VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
so i installed extra/xf86-video-intel 2.17.0-2 (xorg-drivers xorg) [installed] X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
are there alternative open source drivers, or should i try setting up proprietary drivers somehow
or maybe this isnt even a driver issue?
edit: forgot to mention this is KDE full install with the latest stable xorg and kde packages

There are no proprietary drivers for intel, there's just what you have installed. There's one problem though - 8xx cards aren't supported anymore. You're lucky you get any picture at all. But for proper functioning you'll have to either go without 3d acceleration, or possibly without any acceleration at all (except xv overlay for video playback).
To turn off 3d accel, create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "old intel stuff"
Driver "intel"
Option "DRI" "off"
EndSection
To turn off all acceleration:
Section "Device"
Identifier "old intel stuff"
Driver "intel"
Option "ShadowFB" "on"
EndSection

[SOLVED] Major weird issues with KDE/Qt apps and unicode

Hi, I've tried to search for my problem, but nothing has showed up, so if this has already been answered, please forgive me.
Anyway, I use KDE as my primary desktop environment with SKIM as my unicode input method. After installing SKIM and Japanese fonts back when I first set Arch up, I have never had any issues with inputting unicode or displaying it in any program, whether that be irssi running through Konsole, or the song titles in Amarok. That all changed this afternoon, somehow...
The only major changes I can remember making to my system today are the following:
1.) I installed Awesome Window Manager to check it out
2.) I installed a pkgbuild of urxvt
3.) I made an .Xdefaults file and added these lines to customize my urxvt
After messing around with these things, I decided that Awesome wasn't a suitable WM for me, went back into KDE, and removed the package. I noticed a few strange issues after that though:
1. Foreign characters refuse to display properly in any terminal emulator.
2. Foreign characters come up as jumble in Konqueror now as well, when they never did before:
3. SKIM refuses to let me input Japanese characters with Anthy in any KDE app. The option for Japanese just isn't there, even though I have it installed:
4. Foreign characters display perfectly as tags for songs in Amarok, but if the music file itself has foreign characters in it, the title is garbled and the track is unplayable:
5. SKIM works absolutely fine in non-KDE apps like Firefox:
As seen in the last example, my Japanese fonts are all installed, and SKIM is working as it should in any non-KDE app, suggesting that there are no problems on that end. The issue seems to be with something in KDE, but I have no idea where to begin fixing it. Furthermore, I have no idea what could have caused this issue in the first place. I don't see how installing a window manager or terminal emulator package could have screwed up my fonts, and the .Xdefaults file I wrote just contained config information for urxvt. Nothing else. I even ended up deleting that, but it did not fix my problem.
If you could be of any help, I'd really appreciate it. I have a lot of files with foreign characters in them, and being able to read them is essential.

I was just looking into locales, actually.
My current locale is:
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
and locale -a brings up:
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
Is there anything here that could be causing this issue?
I'm curious how my locale got messed with in the first place if this is indeed the problem...

Filename issues in KDE... possibly Locale-related
