Missing "Evdev-managed keyboard" option in KDE

I've been trying to solve some outstanding keyboard config issues. Right now, I have some keys which don't do anything and which don't even seem to be properly recognised by the X server. (Judging by output using xev.)
I'm using KDE and I found the recommendation on the KDE configuration page of Arch's wiki to set the keyboard layout to "Evdev-managed keyboard". Googling also suggestions this might be the solution.
However, when I look at the list in the drop-down menu of System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Hardware > Keyboard model, I can't find anything which looks like this option. I'm using the default Arch config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and it is obvious from that that evdev _should_ be managing my keyboard.
Can anybody tell me what I'm missing? Where can I find this option?
The option isn't listed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst or /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst which do seem to match other options in the menu. So I assume it should be added automatically by KDE? Or does its absence show there is something wrong with my setup/installation at some point?
Thanks for any hints. (I am afraid I am asking a lot of questions right now!)

It is definitely not the locale issue in my case - my locales are set properly and the output of locale is as expected.
No, I haven't found a solution. I'm beginning to suspect it is a bug or something odd about the interaction between KDE and Arch somehow. I had this problem on pretty much a new install and my installation is not "generally messed up" so far as I can tell. (I am just starting to get it configured a little more comfortably but have a ways to go.)
I would be very grateful for any hints, pointers, suggestions, solutions, tea or sympathy available.

  • Site Manager menu option are not there

    Hi guys!
    I'm quite new with business catalyst, but I've recently become a paid account (Webcommerce) and I have 2 options below the menu tab "Site Manager".
    I'm watching a lot of tutorials and all of them got a lot op options below the site manager, and I only got Web Forms and System emails, so I think that there are missing a lot of options missing!
    Hopefully someone can help me with this issue!
    Greetings!

    Dear Liam,
    Thanks for your reply!
    Then it would be a problem with my CC account. Because my role as admin is full, and I created this account so then the only option left is the CC account!
    I was very interested in the combination of Muse and BC, so I let me inform by both parties who have figured out all this, and that this is the best solution for me.
    Unfortunately by this far, is it a waste of my time and money I've put into this system and I got a pissed off customer. It is therefore the first and last time I used Adobe and BC.
    Anyway thanks for your feedback!

  • Implementation manager Toolbar option : Disable

    Hi,
    I am logging in to the system with administrator technical ID, But the Implementation Manager Toolbar Option is Still disabled in SAP ByDesign Studio.
    Can any one guide me what am i missing in it  ???

    Hi,
    Implementation Manager is only for Customer Specific solutions.
    For all the scalable solutions, it will remain disabled.
    And even in the Customer Specific solns, Implementation Manager will act for a specific solution. It is a managing tool for a solution.
    And please keep this in mind that you should never login into PDI using business user credentials as you will have to face problems regarding Layer strategies for that business user.
    Hope this helps.

  • Option of KDE/Openbox in kdm unavailable

    I realize there is a desktop environments section, but I figure that I'd fit in here better, seeing that I installed Arch yesterday. 
    Just in case anyone wants to link me the wiki, that's what I followed to get to this point. 
    So basically, when I boot up in kdm, the options for KDE and Openbox are both there, and I can login (the term eludes me) to each of them, and they work and whatever.  However, KDE/Openbox is just not there.  I have also tried changing the ~/.xinitrc file to exec openbox-kde-session and "xinit /usr/bin/openbox-kde-session", but (as far as I know) it merely boots into KDE. 
    I may be wrong about openbox-kde-session and am just not noticing anything different between openbox-kde-session and kde, but there really seems to be no difference.
    How do I resolve this?

    Ah, ok.  That would make sense, since I don't plan on using KDE's default window manager anyway.  Thanks.

  • After upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

  • Discoverer Plus - Manage Link option is not working in Viewer

    I am working on 10.1.2.3 Discoverer Plus. I have created one workbook with multiple worksheets (1 detail sheet and 4 Left Group Report.
    I have created seperate links for 4 worksheets. Drill to Details is working fine in discoverer plus and parameter values passed as per the mapping in managed link option.
    However, when I tried to access the report in Viewer, parameter values is not coming as per the mapping.
    In detail sheet we have several optional parameters
    from One summary Sheet, I am not passing all the values to the parameters in the detailed sheet.
    Those column for which, I am not passing any value is coming as NULL (it should come blank as report is treating NULL as string), so no data found

    Thanks Lloyd,
    Drill Down is working fine in Viewer and Plus.
    Parameter's passed from one sheet to another is also working fine in plus but in viewer I have some problems.
    Here are the details of the problem I am facing.
    I have 2 Summary Sheets and 1 Detail Sheet
    Sheet 1: 3 Parameters (Summary)
    Sheet 2: 4 Parameters (Summary)
    Sheet 3: 7 Parameters (Details)
    When I am clicking on Sheet1 to Drill down 3 parameters are having correct values but the 4 parameters which can't be passed to Sheet 3 is coming 'NULL' (NULL string value) so detail report is not showing any data. Similarly for Sheet 2 4 parameters are coming as expected but 3 are coming as NULL.
    When I am defining Manage Link Option, I am doing the mapping for 3 Column for Sheet 1 rest 4 columns are BLANK (no info).
    I hope now my problem will be clear.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Manually Manage Music Option get error The iPod cannot be updated error(-50

    I am following the instructions on how to move music to a new computer. When I get to the step "Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use" and try to apply the 'Manually manage music' option, I get the following error: 'The iPod (my iPod) cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50). I have tried moving my dock between the two USB ports on my Dell but nothing works..can someone help?

    I tried some additional things and it seems to have fixed the problem.
    First, I forced the iPod Service to close using the Windows task manager (control-alt-delete and then closing it). I then restored my iPod to its original factory settings using that option in iTunes.
    I renamed the iPod and then set up what I wanted to sync with it. I have made a couple of changes and they have worked.

  • Repair for missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu?

    Can someone suggest how to  repair a missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu? I'm using CS5 Indesign.
    There's no option for it greyed out or otherwise. It originally had dissappeared while using CS4. I gave up on it. Installed CS5 and hoped it would come back: nada. I did the Ctrl-Alt-Shift thing and deleted prefs file: Still no recent docs option. VERY IRRITATING.
    There's got to be a way. But I'm not informed enough. Help, please?

    This is easily fixed...took me a while to find out how.
    Go into Preferences, click on File Handling...you will then see a page with 'Saving InDesign Files' in the middle section (See attached screen grab).  You'll see a box next to 'Number of Recent Items to Display' which I'm assuming will be '0'...change this to any number up to 99.  Click OK. Close InDesign.  Reopen InDesign...Open a file, close the file...you will now see the 'Open Recent' link when you click on file.
    Problem solved.

  • Cannot see the manage dimension option

    Hi,
    We have newly installed BPC for MS version in our place but we cannot see the manage dimension option in the BPC admin as shown in this screen shot http://wikisend.com/download/618558/BPC admin page.JPG
    May i know why?

    Hi,
    This is normal... that mean your task profile for "BPCUser" doesn't offer the possibility to perform Administration tasks.
    You should take a look to the Security Guide, in order to see if Primary Administrator or Secondary Administrator could be assigned to your users.
    You can find all the guides under this link:
    http://help.sap.com/content/bobj/sbu/docu_sbs_bpc_design.htm
    But in any case, the problem only comes from a task profile that doesn't allow Admin tasks.
    Hope it will help.

  • HT204074 I wish to re attach my device to my iTunes account but I do not appear to have the manage devices option - someone please help

    I wish to re attach my device to my iTunes account but I do not appear to have the manage devices option - someone please help

    If you want to add it then you need to do one of the 3 things mentioned on that page e.g. use iTunes Match on your iPad, use automatic downloads on it, or redownload one of your past purchases. I think that the 'manage devices' section will only show when you have one or more devices/computers associated to your account, if you don't have any associated then it won't appear.

  • Symbian Anna missing split screen keyboard / no sp...

    Dear Nokia,
    It's very good news to have symbian anna in my phone, nokia n8. IT's very well build.
    However, in my country product code, Malaysia, I dont have split screen keyboard appear in every section that should appear in firmware. I have clean all my phone state in zero apps and i flash my n8 with symbian anna together with 1gb memory card content which means i have fresh , pure symbian anna without any system disturbances.
    I update all symbian anna packages in software update, but split screen doesnt appear in most of my country variant.
    Returning back to old PR 1.2, what we had was no smart dialler to easy contact calling. Then in symbian anna again, we still missing split screen keyboard which had been promised to be in symbian anna.
    I have waited this feature for almost 8 months, but misssing this split screen is kind of dissappointment to us.
    I need full explaination how exactly this missing feature happen, I wrote this not for myself, but for whole people who still miss split screen keyboard. I have fresh symbian anna, 0 apps installed, empty memory card, resulting no software conflicts.
    THANKS YOU for Symbian Anna and we still waiting for this missing feature.

    There is no split screen text input on any firmware that has Chinese. So Malaysian, Singapore, China and Indonesian phones all do not support split screen.  Futhermore, the pinyin input does not support portriate qwerty.
    If you install a firmware version which does not support Chinese, you get split screen activated. I have tested both Thailand and Indian versions, both working with split screen.
    Also, the 2 software updates that come after your have installed Anna will not add portrait qwerty.
    Furthermore - this issue has NOTHING to do with swype. Please ignore any message your read which mentions swype.
    I'm from Malaysia, didn't get it either.
    This is very upsetting! Ten months of waiting, this is what Nokia has given us? This silly reason behind not including split-keyboard in our FW variant is not even a reason at all!
    It's an obviously missing feature, and they seem to have not mentioned of this in any of their marketing videos or pages. Should have at least put a disclaimer saying it's not available for us. *Misrepresentation*

  • New query for 'Manage Database' option in SQL Developer

    Dear all,
    I want to suggest a changed query for the 'Manage Database' option in SQL Developer (right-click on the connection), see the query below.
    This query has the following changes;
    - extra column with the Maximum disk space based on the datafiles (considering autoextend of datafiles); MAX_DATAFILES
    - the PERCENT_USED and PCT_USED are based on the MAX_DATAFILES, as this is really important (and not the difference between ALLOCATED and USED)
    - the results are shown in GB, as that is in my opinion more relevant in this time of data explosion
    - rename of the column FREE to UNUSED_ALLOCATED, as this column identifies how much of the Allocated space is not used
    I hope the query can replace the current one, to improve SQL Developer even more.
    Thanks for the nice tool SQL Developer!

    Very little technical information provided about the error.
    "+IO error.+" - this likely refers to the client attempting to use a socket handle and the call to the handle failing.
    +"The network adapter could not establish the connection.+" - this likely means that the IP address to connect to, could not be reached, or that the connection was not accepted on that port on the remote IP address. (typically hostname resolution errors would give a different error)
    The easiest way to test connectivity is using the ping command to bounce an ICMP echo off the remote IP.
    If that works, test access to remote port on that remote IP using the telnet command - this will check whether there is a service accepting connections on that port, and whether access to that port is allowed in case of firewalls en-route.
