Is Internationalization broken under sdk 1.4

Since upgrading to 1.4 I've been having problems getting hold of my default locale EN_GB.. after some digging around it appears that both the sdk and the international version of the 1.4 jre runtime only seem to contain EN, EN_US locales??
I've thrown together a webstart test for this -- which dump out the results from Locale.getAvailableLocales(); which should tell me whats installed. The test is availible here http://213.48.113.194/tmp/ click on the .jnlp file (as I don't have my own signing key, so I've inculded the source).
So far both Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 both fail. Of course only do this if your webstart is using the 1.4 sdk or you've got j2re-1_4_0-win-i.exe installed.
Is this effecting other users? It's a real showstopper for us and our users.. and looks like a major blunder on Suns behalf, if true..

Right so it looks like there are issues with the 1.4 jre under windows (bug 4638772 & bug 4639932). So our multi-lingual editor application was hit hard as it allows users to edit records in a Locale of choice from Locale.getAvailableLocales().
Because we're using webstart the workaround I'd envison having to take is to create a 1.4 branch in the jnlp, take a copy of localedata.jar, sign it with our key and distribute it with our application.
Must admit to feeling wary about it's route cause though, it looks like sdk1.4 URL.getFile() now returns filenames with spaces in urlencoded form (with %20) so internally "c:/program files/java/j2re1.4.0/lib/ext/localedata.jar" is returned as "c:/program%20files/java/j2re1.4.0/lib/ext/localedata.jar" which the file routines can't handle and say dosn't exist.. How this effects other rotines and extensions I would'nt like to guess.

  • Scripts broken under Snow Leopard?

    I wrote a script using AppleScript Editor. After several tests, running it manually from within AppleScript Editor, it seems to work just fine and does what I want it to. So, I saved a copy of the script as "run only". Supposedly, I should now be able to double-click the run-only script in order to run it without opening the editor. But, when I double-click the file, I get two pop-up windows. The first says: "Unable to read the file because the script is not editable (it was saved as run-only)", the second says "The document 'myscript' could not be opened."
    Are scripts broken under Snow Leopard?

    That's absurd. What purpose does the "run-only" option have then?
    that's needed when people publish applications they created and don't want others to see source code. this is done to all commercial software to protect against software piracy. you can do it to your own home made programs too if you want using that button.
    If you can't run it, and can't open it with the editor, then you have a file on your system you can only do one thing with: move it to the trash.
    There must be a way to save scripts so they can be run without opening the editor first.
    of course there is. you save the script as an application. then to run it you double-click on it.
    If "run-only" isn't it, then what is it?

  • Home Sharing was fine, now "broken" under iOS 5 and/or iTunes 10.6

    Both my Apple TVs (one is last year's 720p model, one is the recent 1080p model) drop the Home Sharing connection with the iTunes Library on my Mac. After some idle time and for no reason at all, selecting "Computer" on either aTV will result in the display "Loading [name of iTunes Library]" for a long time with the spinning wheel, then finally stop and return to the home screen. Sometimes there is an error message and sometimes there isn't. Only turning Home Sharing off and then back on on the Mac "fixes" this, but only temporarily.
    I can't pinpoint if this started with iTunes 10.6 (10.6.1 did not help), or iOS 5.0 on the aTV. I can say that under iTunes 10.5.x and with the older aTV on iOS 4.x, there were zero problems. I have not since changed my home network, nor my Mac, so this is not a hardware problem on my end. Something in either iTunes 10.6.x or aTV iOS 5.x is causing this failure in Home Sharing.
    Any "fixes" or work-arounds to try while we wait for Apple to fix this one? (I have already submitted two bug reports, one under iTunes, one under Apple TV.)

    I got pretty tired of getting up and resetting my itunes every time I wanted to watch something on AppleTV or listen to music via the remote app, so I wrote a little ruby app to restart itunes when home sharing breaks.  I noticed that the TCP port 3689 times out when this problem occurs, so I just test to see if that socket will open, if it doesn't, I send commands to close and launch itunes.
    The way I figure, this will never interrupt me because I only use this instance of itunes when I'm on appletv or using my remote.  If home sharing is timing out, it means I'm not in the middle of doing one of those things.
    Ruby code:
    require 'socket'
    def is_port_open?(ip, port)
      begin
        TCPSocket.new(ip, port)
      rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED
        return false
      end
      return true
    end
    while true
      unless is_port_open?("127.0.0.1", 3689)
        puts "Home sharing is broken.  I am going to restart iTunes. #{Time.now}"
        `osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to quit'`
        sleep 10
        `open -a iTunes`
        sleep 30
        puts "iTunes restarted"
      end
      sleep 5
    end
    If you want a simple way to run this script and are not too comfortable around the command line, I've posted it to amazon S3.  You can just launch a terminal as the user that runs itunes and copy/paste the following:
    curl http://djw.s3.amazonaws.com/homesharing-keepalive.rb > ~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb && chmod +x ~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb
    Then execute the following when you want to run it:
    ~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb
    If a timeout occurs, you will see something like this printed in the terminal (and itunes will restart):
    Home sharing is broken.  I am going to restart iTunes. Mon Jun 04 15:35:28 -0400 2012
    iTunes restarted
    Keep the terminal minimized so this runs.  If you close it, it will kill the process.  You can also hit cntrl-c in the terminal to kill the script.  The following will remove it from your computer:
    rm -f ~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb
    More advanced users can use screen or other ways to background the process so you don't need the terminal running (but I don't need to tell you that).
    I've only been using this for 24 hours, but it seems to do the trick.
    EDIT:  I should note that this is for OSX only.  You could do something very similar in windows, but this won't work.

  • Gyro sw broken under 4.3.2 demo'd in three use cases

    I've noticed that with 4.3.2 the gyro functionality is not being handled in apps consistently or at all in most cases. I'm running the latest IOS and all apps I mention below are the latest also.
    Interestingly(luckily), GoSkyWatch Planetarium confirms that my Gyro is not broken and is the only app I can get to demonstrate the gyro is in any way working. Moving the device around all over the place sees the planetarium effect working.
    Also interestingly, an app called MusicTool opens in landscape but reverts to portrait (in less than a second of display) despite the device being orientated landscape at the time of opening the app. A significant point of the app as demonstrated by it's splash screen is that it operates one feature in landscape and another in portrait so to toggle features you need to turn the device. I only have access to the portarit feature due to this.
    Lastly (that I could be bothered describing right now), Kindle's brokeness under this IOS is also significant in that I cannot get to detect a rotation and allow me to unlock the aspect from landscape to portrait. I had landscape locked across plenty of IOS updates and now can't get it to portrait due to the app not showing the ghost lock icon that's meant to show when rotating. For me, the Kindle issue is an opposite scenario from the POV that I wish to return it to portrait.
    There is an implementation problem in the IOS software as used by the apps developed for it. If the implementation for simple snapping between portrait and landscape are different to whatever GoSkyWatch uses for it's planetarium effect then you may be close to finding the problem.
    I can't get Safari to landscape and that's probably all I really needed to write here. I guess I'll go to the Apple shop and ask around. **** you Apple for this.

    Resolved: Double-press the home button, scroll all the way left and there is a new task button that allows toggling the on/off state of the landscape/portrait lock - globally. I guess this is what Apple hooked the iPad side switch to.
    Apple, please don't make things like this default to on.
    Btw, the new icon top-right with the lock and circular arrow around it seems to let us know the lock is active. This at least inspired more search term fodder to find a reason for new, unexpected behaviour in my iPod running the new IOS.

  • Developing under SDK 3.0

    I have installed the latest 10.6 OS (snow leopard, full of bugs, yuck), and have installed the latest SDK for 3.0 but now I find that my 2.1, and 2.2.1 SDK stuff is long one, and I can't seem to install them now the installer won't run. I don't care about developing under 3.0, but I don't want my apps to require iPhone OS 3.0 because there are a lot of iPod touch users who are still running 2.0 because it costs $10 to upgrade... so how do I build under 3.0 but still let it run on 2.2; where does the minimum version get specified in the build info, I can't seem to find where to set it, or how to install the 2.2 SDK...

    Hi,
    Your issue fortunately or unfortunately (depends on how you look at it) is a very simple one. X3.2 for snow leopard does not support all or really most 2.0x SDKs, so you cannot develop your 2.0 apps with it. 3.2 is meant for developing 3.0 apps only. Go to the iPhone Dev Center and read the before installing "read me" file for snow leopard. The last two sentences of page 1 says exactly the above.
    So it is simple, you need to return to a lower SDK to develop your 2.0x apps.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is T61 hinge broken under warranty?

    Hi all,
    Recently I found that my T61 right LCD hinge was broken. The machine is still under warranty. I sent to the service centre and a few days later the person told me the hinge is not under warranty and I have to pay about 100 bucks USD to replace the part! I read through the warranty many times and 100% sure I didn't void it.
    My question: Is the hinge under warranty?
    Thanks.
    zhichien

    The hinge is under warranty as far as material defects are concerned. But the most common case of hinge breakage is that the ThinkPad has been dropped. I don't know the situation in Singapore but here in Germany the manufacturer must verify that the problem is not his fault within the first year of warranty (and not the consumer). So my hinge got replaced on warranty.
    If you have evidence that the hinge broke without you handling your TP negligentyou probably have good chances to have the hinge replaced for free as well.
    The price of 100$ might sound high at first but if you take into account  that the complete display has to be disassembled and the structure frame needs to be replaced thats an okay price. However my TP came back from repair with the hinge even more broken then before.

  • Youtube is completly broken under firefox.(chrome/IE works normally)

    Hello, since a day or two (22/nov/2013) youtube is not displayed proprely, in fact the whole page is a real mess and its unusable under firefox. I had to use chrome to watch videos today because of that.
    I have the latest flash updates, same goes for firefox.
    I made a screenshot of the whole things, but it doesnt seem like I can include it to this post.

    A short time ago, Youtube changed its page navigation model from loading the entire page when you click a link to modifying the contents of the current page (similar to how instant prediction results work in Google search). Since the page will lay out correctly for you on reload, it suggests that something is interfering with the normal operation of the scripts that modify the pages when you navigate between videos.
    Note: If you notice this problem primarily when going "back" you could work around a problem with the in-memory cache by making a setting change. This forces Firefox to re-parse the page and may slow down "Back" on all sites by some milliseconds. Here's how:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers''' preference and change it to 0 (that's a zero).
    Background on that: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863 When I go back to Google search results page, it takes me to a blank Google screen]

  • Intel Fortran compiler broken under Mavericks

    After upgrading to OS 9 on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, and installing Xcode 5.0.1 on both, my Intel Fortran compiler (vs 12.0.5) no longer works.  I have updated the command line tools.  When I try compiling a source file it fails with the message:
    ifort: error #10001: could not find directory in which g++ resides
    There is a compiler option to specify the location of g++ "-gxx-name=" but this doesn't help - same error message.  I'm not sure if I need to set a system variable or if I need to go back to an earlier version of Xcode.  Has anyone managed to get their Intel Fortran compiler working under Mavericks?

    I haven't found this topic in the other Categories, so I'll reply here:
    I'm having the same problem!!! Leopard has crashed ifort 32 bits! So I can't run my programs on my macbook core duo (32 bits), although it's ok with the ifort 64 bits version. But I really REALLY need the 32 version working on Leopard. Anyone has any clue about how to solve it? I've tried some 9.1 ifort's versions and the new 10.1 version. You can find evaluation versions on the intel's site.
    Please someone help us.
    Thanks,

  • External Editor function broken under 10.6.3

    I updated to 10.6.3 recently. Now, when I control-click a photo and select "edit in external editor," nothing happens. Before, it would open Photoshop Elements 6, which I had selected as the external editor of choice in iPhoto Preferences. Now, in Preference, Photoshop Elements 6 doesn't even show as an option for the external editor; rather my only choices there now are "Full Screen," "In Main Window," and "in iPLMEdit," (the latter of which I don't recognize or understand).
    Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated

    Okay, it seems "user" was broken, not iPhoto....
    Thanks for pointing me back to what I once knew and developed amnesia about.
    I realize that because of a few other little quirky things going on with 10.6.3, I too quickly jumped on the "oh, it broke this too" instead of thinking it through like usual.

  • Failed (11) again. Export broken under 10.4.8?

    I'm running OSX 10.4.8, QT 7.1.3.
    I did the 10.4.8 update (along with ProApps and iTunes) on 10/03/06.
    While I can't tie this specifically to the update, it was working before. Now, exporting out of QTPlayer is broken. I open a sequence of frames in QTPlayer and try to export them as a H.264 movie. The result is a "Failed (11)" error message. As a test, I just tried Sorensen Video 3, and the result is the same: Falied (11).
    I have encountered this error (11) previously, and it was due to a bug in the H.264 encoder that had to do with a particular resolution. The frames involved are large, film res frames.
    Anyone else seeing this kind of thing?
    PPC Quad, PPC Dual 2 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Some further info:
    The clip in question is 2788 frames long. The frames are 2K, 2048x1556.
    If I reduce the View to Half Size, the encode runs to completion and produces a good movie file.
    I've tried limiting the number of frames starting with the first 500, first 1000, etc., on up to the first 2000 frames, and had success. When I tried it with the first 2500 frames, it got the Failed (11) error.
    So the error seems size and length dependent.

  • Iphone is broken under the screen

    I dropped my iphone on a hard wood floor, and the screen was not shattered, but beneath the screen i saw cracks and the all of the colors became distorted. Can this be fixed, or do I have to buy a new iphone?

    Sounds like your iPhone's LCD is damaged.
    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price from the full retail sales price for the iPhone, which is much more expensive than AT&T's fully subsidized price for the iPhone. This exchange price does not require signing a new two year contract. The cost is $199 plus tax.

  • Lenovo Energy Management broken under Windows 8 - Shortcuts don't work

    I've noticed that the Energy Management tool does not work properly under Windows 8 on a U300S.
    Especially stuff like the keyboard shortcuts don't work:
    Pressing F7 to toggle the wireless and bluetooth settings doesn't bring up the usual onscreen-menu like it does in Windows 7
    The buttons to toggle the display brightness bring up the Windows 8 style brightness indicator but doesn't work.

    Anyone?

  • Can apple replace my 32g 3gs which is broken (under warranty) even though they are no longer sold??

    since they are not being sold any more can i still get a replacment??

    I also have a 32G 3GS (also under warranty), and it was having issues with the side volume on/off key and with 3G reception. I took it to the Apple Store, and I got a new version of the same model. It might have been refurbished -- don't know. But it's new to me. Though the side volume on/off key works just fine now, I'm still having some 3G access issues. But I just read some possible solutions for that in these forums and will try those next.

  • Filemaker Bento app is broken under IOS7.

    Since Filemaker Bento will no longer sync under iOS 7, I'm looking for an application(s) that can sync contents of a database between a Mac, iPhone & iPad.

    Well, I guess i have to reply to my own question -
    After a bit of playing with some alternatives, I have switched from Bento to HanDbase .  You need the app for your phone & HanDbase Plus for Mac for your laptop.  Syncing isn't as seamless as Bento, but on the other hand a far more powerful database product.  I was able to export my Bento data as a CSV file & import it into HanDbase. Very good support from DDH Software.

  • [SOLVED] ConkySymbols font broken under KDE

    Ever since the fontconfig update yesterday, the ConkySymbols font (http://wiltur.deviantart.com/#/d3ij3mi) is mysteriously broken for me. It just prints black rectangles instead.
    All other fonts seem to be fine though. I've even downloaded the ConkySymbols .ttf again, but when I open the file in KDE Font Preview the preview pane stays blank.
    How do I fix this? Of course it might also be due to the KDE 4.9.1 upgrade somehow, I'm not sure.
