I'm confused with extra laptop keys

When I go onto the Kubuntu live cd, the extra keyboard keys work flawlessly, even the email button launches KMail. I just don't know how they do it! At the moment I'm running KDE4 on Arch Linux..is there any way to transfer the settings?

you need to write an .Xmodmap file in your home directory.
mine looks like
$ cat ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 178 = XF86HomePage
keycode 236 = XF86Mail
keycode 234 = XF86Back
keycode 233 = XF86Forward
keycode 229 = XF86Search
keycode 231 = XF86Refresh
you fine your keycode by running xev and then pushing your function button, in the output there should be a keycode you then need to link it to a name listed in the /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB file, this will link the key, the name can be any from that file. you can assign actions to your keys from the kcontrol center.
X should automatically load the keycodes when it starts, you can also test them by running
$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

Confused with Extra options provided in J2EE Deployment wizard

HI,
When Iam packing Hello.JAR
Iam getting confusing beacause of few extra options provided in wizard screen and never getting deployed because of this proble i beleive
For Hello example..right now I have
1. HelloBean (EB Class)
2. HelloHime (Home Interface)
3. Hello (Remote Interface)
Here is one of the window:
1. A combo for Enterprise Bean class
Here I will select my Hello Bean Class
after this selection
There is a frame Named "LOCAL INTERFACES"
with 2 combos
a) Local Home Interface
b) Local Interface
Similarly there is another Freme Named "REMOTE INTERFACES"
a) Remote Home Interface
b) Remote Interface
In Each case it is not allowing me to move next with out selecting both a and b
So, Iam forced to specify a & b of first as "HelloHome.class" home Interface and a & b of second as "Hello.class" Remote Interface
However Jar gets created but while deploying using j2ee deploy tool it gives an error and terminates
Using verifier tool I found these failures
a) For [ HelloBean ]
Error: [ HelloHome ] does not properly extend the EJBLocalHome interface. All enterprise bean home interfaces must extend the EJBLocalHome interface. [ HelloHome ] is not a valid home interface.
b) For [ HelloBean ]
Error: [ Hello ] does not properly extend the EJBHome interface. All enterprise bean home interfaces must extend the EJBHome interface. [ Hello ] is not a valid home interface.
c) For [ HelloBean ]
Error: [ HelloHome ] does not properly extend the EJBObject interface. All enterprise bean remote interfaces must extend the EJBObject interface. [ HelloHome ] is not a valid remote interface within bean [ HelloBean ].
d) For [ HelloBean ]
For Local Interface [ javax.ejb.EJBHome ] method [ getHomeHandle ]
Error: No corresponding business method with matching arguments was found for method [ getHomeHandle ].
e) Error: No corresponding business method with matching exceptions was found for method [ getEJBMetaData ].
For Local Interface [ javax.ejb.EJBHome ] method [ getHomeHandle ]
Error: No corresponding business method with matching exceptions was found for method [ getHomeHandle ].
f) For [ HelloBean ]
For Local Interface [ javax.ejb.EJBHome ] method [ getHomeHandle ]
Error: No corresponding business method with matching return type was found for method [ getHomeHandle ].
g) Error: No create method exist within bean [ Hello ]
For [ HelloBean ]
Error: The create methods return type [ Hello ] is not equal to remote interface [ HelloHome ]
h) For [ HelloBean ]
For Home Interface [ Hello ]
Error: No create method was found in [ Hello ]
Can any body guide what can i do to select these combos never in any book specified these double options...unable to move further
Iam on Win 2000 with versions following of JAva
a) j2sdk1.4.0_01
b) j2sdkee1.3.1
It could be appreciable if anybody guide me in this regard
Thanks
Chakri

You need to populate only these two combo boxes with HelloHome.class and Hello.class respectively. Ignore the combo boxes under "LOcal Interface"
"REMOTE INTERFACES"
a) Remote Home Interface.....HelloHome.class
b) Remote Interface.......Hello.class

I am confused with N96 Music Keys---

I have noticed something in the Nokia Nseries web site about new device, N96.
In the Image gallery, 01st image shows that 04 music control functions around the 05 way navigation key. As the spec mentioned, N96 is a dual slide mobile phone and one slide is totally dedicated for music. Question 01 – Why 08 keys for same function?
If you noticed in the 02nd last picture in the same image gallery, there are no music control keys around the 05 way navigation key. Question 02 – Can we manually assign programs to these 04 keys then?
You can see this difference in the N96 official video too.

Also these keys works both with VIDEO and MUSIC or PODCASTS (Video or Audio) or FLASH so that they control whatever media you have playing at the time.
In portrait mode it works like the N81 in landscape mode it works like the N95.
After using the N95 and N81 both, I can understand why some think this is a good idea and also why some people think this is not a good idea.
I prefer to have the Controls sepparate than the rocker so while I'm driving I can skip songs or pause without having to press twice (like you have to do in N95 rocker).
Plus in N95 you can't control the music if it's playing in the background so this is actually quite good.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
volume controls issues are windows, not firefox.

Desktop vs laptop key commands.

I just recently picked up a 15" i5 MBP which is the first laptop I've ever used for audio.
Key commands for a full key board with numeric pad are so ingrained in my mind that I'm hesitant to "learn" variations for the laptop. Believe me, I'm not complaining about having to excute for few extra mouse pad clicks.
How are other folks juggling desktop vs laptop key strokes?
I suppose I could get a full size wireless keyboard (as the MBP USB ports are already spoken for).
Input appreciated.
Cheers.

I played around with the key board preferences (US with numeric pad vs just plain US)
I once created a list of the differences between those two presets. Here it is. I realize it's tough to read on this web page, but that's because this forum won't let me use html table tags. But if you paste the text into a spreadsheet or word processor, it will instantly format as a table (because tabs are embedded) and be easily readable.
The first column is the US with numeric keypad, and the second column is the plain US. Any commands not on this list are the same in both presets.
Anyone confused by any of those symbols can find an illustrated guide here or here.

Trying to set up encrypted mails but I'm confused about certificates and keys

Hello all,
My first foray into encrypted emails and I'm already confused! To begin with, I'm trying to exchange mails with one other person, who I believe uses Outlook. So far:
He's sent me his certificate (although I thought I would receive his public key) which is a file called smime.p7m. I don't know what to do with this.
I've successfully followed the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/digitally-signing-and-encrypting-messages. When I start a new mail, I can either go to the Enigmail menu and switch on encryption / digital signing and it seems fine, or I can go to the dropdown on the S/MIME button and it says "You need to set up one or more personal certificates before you can use this security feature." Are these two different ways of doing the same thing (in which case I'll use the one that works!) or not?
As you can see, I'm getting confused between keys and certificates! If some kind person could take a minute to explain what my next steps are, that would be much appreciated. I couldn't find anything on the Thunderbird support pages, though I know I need to send him my public key.
Thanks in advance.
Stuart.

Stuart8, good find, that article.
I found the main disincentive to using the built-in S/MIME capability is that it's not immediately obvious where to get your certificate and keys. Most providers want $$$ for them, which is natural enough if they are actually going to validate you in some way. I did at one time have a Thawte certificate and even enough WOT vouches to be a low-grade WOT Attorney.
Once you have your key, it's a bit of a pfaff to install it into Thunderbird. You'll probably find that S/MIME is the default in business correspondence, since many businesses operate their own mail servers, ftp servers and so on and probably have an arrangement to generate self-issued certificates or to buy them on a commercial basis from a CA.
Enigmail/OpenPGP doesn't require any financial outlay on your part, but is harder to get your keys properly validated since there's not much of a formal WOT nor a reliable central registry. You generate your own keys and it's pretty much all based on mutual trust.
Since the two systems are incompatible, you need to have set up the same as whatever your correspondent is using.
I suspect that you have discovered that it's a two-way process. In order for a correspondent to send you an encrypted message, you must both be using the same system, and he must have your public key to encrypt his message, and you'll need his in order to reply with encryption. So yes, he needs to send you his public key for you to send to him, but what he sends to you needs YOUR public key.
Obviously, signing messages is a useful halfway house. I believe that you sign with your private key, and the recipient will have to download your public key to validate your signature. Whilst a signature doesn't safeguard your privacy, it goes some way to proving that the message came from who it says it came from and that it hasn't been altered in transit. (I really can't understand why banks, lawyers, insurance companies haven't picked up on these encryption and signing schemes. Perhaps they actually prefer all those awful phone calls where you need to struggle to recall supposedly unforgettable names and dates! ;-) )
In practice, I find that if you sign a message to an outfit who don't know what to do with it, their numpty anti-virus system will probably barf on the signature which it thinks is executable code and therefore must be a virus or worm. :-(

Mt iPhoto library has disappeared from my laptop after syncing my new iPhone with the laptop. I now have a new iPhoto library with no photos. I have tried pressing option when opening iPhoto but I only get one library option and can't find my old one

My iPhone4s was recently replaced by apple due to grey out on wifi. when I went to sync with my laptop my iPhoto library disapeared and I was left with an empty library. I cannot find my old library on my laptop. I only get one option for a library when i open iPhoto while holding down option key. I am worried I have lost all my photos. there seems ot be no iPhoto library on my iCloud either.
Any suggestions?

Syncing with an iPhone should not delete the iPhoto library on your mac. It only will upload photos to the phone (iTunes sync) or import (connecting by USB). How did you sync your phone?
TD, do you know of any way, that a sync could delete an iPhoto Library on a Mac?
You may have opened a wrong library or may be working from a different user account. Are you using the same user name and Apple ID as before?
How have you searched for iPhoto libraries? Have you searched with Spotlight?
Each iPhoto library contains a file called "Library6.iPhoto" - even if your iPhoto library should no longer be recognisable as photolibrary, this file should be found:
Type "Library6" into the "Spotlight" search field in the upper right corner of your screen, like this:
When you see a list of files, select one of them and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ to reveal the path to the file.
If Spotlight cannot find the file in the packages, use "FindAnyFile" http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile

I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

Hello Pat,
Thank you for getting back to me. I have a table with columns in it and I’m trying to copy just one of the columns, think of it as a stock table you would get in a newspaper and I just want to copy the column that has all the symbols in it. I use to be able to do this with no problem in previous versions of Adobe Reader by just putting my cursor next to the column I wanted, holding down the Alt key and selecting the data I wanted . But with the new version that came with my new laptop running Window 8.0 I can not accomplish this task. Adobe Reader wants to copy everything in the table. I would take a screen shot to show you, but when I open Reader, it takes over my entire screen and I can not get back to my task bar or desktop without closing the app. If you could also tell me how to correct or adjust this annoyance I would appreciate it. Needless to say I’m not currently a big fan of the new version of Reader. Is there any way I can go back to a previous version of the product with Windows 8 as my OS?
Thanks you for your help with this,
Ed

I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter. She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter. She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

There is no way for the keyboard itself to display only lower case letters. It doesn't display lower case letters at all for that matter.
When you are using the keyboard - The other issue that you will have is with the shift key. Even with auto caps turned off you can still type capital letters if you tap the shift key and if you double tap it by mistake - it will turn into all capital letters so also turn off Caps Lock in the keyboard settings.
Other than that, there is no way to ensure that you can type in lower case.
Maybe an external bluetooth keyboard would be a better solution but I don't use one, and I have never even seen one in person so someone else will have to verify that for you.

Connecting 6670 with IBM laptop (Ubuntu installed)...

Error I have:
on mobile: 1)unable to connect 2) already have max number of connections second time I try
ANY IDEAS????????
/FAH

Use this .iso:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit
Next If you want to burn it to a DVD, just burn the iso to a DVD, and install Windows 8 from DVD.
Or use a liveUSB:
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
You may need to enable boot from USB in the BIOS if not already enabled.
NOTE: You won't be prompted for a product key during installation. Why? The product key is stored in the BIOS, and the correct Windows edition will be selected accordingly during installation.
Then after installation is finished all you need to do is installing drivers from support.lenovo.com. If you have no internet connectivity use a USB pendrive to transfer the drivers to your Y500.
You can always consider buying a recovery DVD from Lenovo for which you have to pay. Considering your knowledge this is not a bad idea. But if you are prepared to learn something, my guide above is something for you.
I can guarantee the .iso is safe to use, since I have been using that one myself. I always keep a back-up to help out friends.

I'm confused with the struts.action and those in the actions package-help

hi all
looking at the struts framework particularly the org.apache.struts.actions package, i am a bit of confused as to which abstract action class i need to extend in my application. is there any guideline that shows in what scenario i will need to extend which action? how would i ever know the purpose of each one and how and when to extend it?
and also i am even more confused when i saw org.apache.struts.action.action class. doesn't this one handle all? most tutorials i have seen reference this class. why do we have others in the actions package?
your help is much appreicated . thanks.

Simple actions just extend org.apache.struts.action.Action.
Those actions in the org.apache.struts.actions package are utility Actions that provide you with extra functionality.
The [url http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/actions/package-summary.html]struts api describes the basics of each one.
Commoonly used ones that (to me) are of more interest:
ForwardAction is pretty much just a placeholder that lets you specify a url to forward to when you don't want to write an entire Action.
Dispatch action (and its siblings LookupDispatchAction, MappingDispatchAction) are most interesting because they let you use the same action for multiple events.
In effect it is writing multiple "execute" methods in one action. The Dispatch action determines which one to call. It is useful for writing CRUD actions and keeping all that code in one class.
Hope this helps some,
evnafets
