Modifier keystrokes ignored at startup - 10.4.2

Apologies if this has been discussed before but I've not found anyone with quite my problem.
Running a Dual 2.7 G5 machine on 10.4.2 in a lab of 7 similar machines. This is the only one online though...
Can't start it up in single user mode (needed for Applejack) which is fine for all the other 6 machines, also on 10.4.2
Plus the startup time before the grey apple screen appears is long. At any rate, can't start up in single, verbose or even safe mode. Reckon it may have something to do with Open Firmware but I can't seem to find any mention of "Open Firmware" when I spotlight the mac or do a find.
Any takers? It's driving me nuts.

Aha, I just came across this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302001
Specifically it says:
Power Mac G5: Keyboard commands don't work during startup
Normally, when your computer starts up, you can use certain keyboard shortcuts to tell the computer to start up from an optical disk, reset PRAM, start up in FireWire Target Disk mode, start up in verbose mode, and so forth.
In some circumstances, a Power Mac G5 may no longer function as expected. If you find the computer isn't responding to any of these startup keystrokes, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Disconnect all USB devices except your Apple keyboard and mouse. (Make sure the keyboard and mouse work correctly before you shut the computer down.) Test from this configuration to see if a USB device is interfering in any way.
2. Make sure that the Open Firmware password is not enabled.
3. Start up the computer and keep the power button held in until the Open Firmware screen appears. When you see the Open Firmware screen and prompt, type reset-nvram and press return to clear NVRAM. On the next line, type reset-all and press return to restart the computer.
If the issues persist after trying all these steps, your computer may require service. Please contact your local Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for further assistance.
Writing from home which is why my gear below is different. Off to try this out tomorrow when I'm back in the studio.
Will report if it fixes it.
Regards.

ValidationTextField in IE6 IE7 problem, 1st keystroke ignored

hi,
i have a very interesting problem with "ValidationTextField"
in IE6 and IE7.
the validation on textfiels starts at 2nd keystroke, the
first keystroke in the field is ignored,
if iset the values by javascript like
$('theMovieTitle1').value = $('theNewText1').innerHTML;
$('theMovieTitle2').value = 'Hallo ';
$('theMovieTitle3').value = 'Hallo ÖÄÜ';
$('movieDescription').value = 'Austria Österreich
Fräulein ';
hmm??
you can see/test it here:
http://www.startup-service.com/Spry/demos/formsvalidation/testvalidate.html
thanks
herbert

I don't see that behaviour on your example in IE7 or Firefox.
If i highlight the text in the field and then begin typing the
validation occurs immediately
Can you explain how you are seeing it so i can try to
recreate?

First Keystroke Ignored

Not sure if this should be posted here or within the OS thread, but as I first noticed this on Snow Leopard and it's also the case on Lion, I'll try here.
Whenever I return to my Macbook after a few moments absence (not long enough for screensaver or sleep etc) the first keystroke is always ignored. Often, indeed usually, this is in Google, so that the search is rendered meaningless.
It's not just Google though and not just safari. Does anyone know what causes this? Is there a simple fix?

HI Chris,
Not sure if the keyboard glitch is a result of the repair by Apple, but you could try resetting the PMU, instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343. Read through this article all the way. Resetting the PRAM might do the trick first.
Did I get the right iMac?

Lion update - modifier keys ignored

I have a Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro - though there's no command key, in 10.6 I had remapped the caps lock key to the command key. In Lion, this same setting (System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys) doesn't seem to be functioning. The default key mappings and their associated functions do seem TO BE RECOGNIZED (hardy har har) - so I don't think it's entirely keyboard driver specific. Help? I'd really like to copy, paste, switch apps, and quit apps seamlessly!

Yes, I think that I figured out that for some reason there were two keyboards listed. Also, once I installed the Microsoft Keyboard preferences plugin, it seemed to work allright as well.
I've bought a new Mini since then, and haven't seen those issue there (I use my old mini as a headless server, so no keyboard attached).

Modify Ztable using ITAB

SORT gt_tabsum.
DESCRIBE TABLE gt_tabsum LINES gv_tabsum_entries.
MODIFY ztabsum FROM TABLE gt_tabsum.
IF SY_SUBRC = 0.
COMMIT WORK.
ENDIF.
Do i have any problem with my modify statement?
The issue is - the number of entries in internal table gv_tabsum_entries = 1630000
However after Modifying it to database table. I can see only 1140000 entries. Some entries are missing.
I am not sure if it has duplicate entries. Do you this it is becase of duplicates or something else.
Regds,
Senthil

Yes Senthil, You are right some of the entries must be already present there in the table so MODIFY just ignores them & updates only the new entries unless there is no change in the already present entries.
Hope this clears your dobut.

Ignoring a line

Reading values from a file and inserting to array
What can i modify to ignore a line if what it reads is a non-numerical value? This just stops when it reaches it - but it doesn't keep reading the rest of the file.
// Reading values and creating array
while(condition != null){
int input = Integer.parseInt(condition);
newArray.insert(input);
condition = in.readLine();
catch(NumberFormatException e){
System.err.println("Exception caught: " + e.getMessage());
// Not an integer value
//Ignore
}

int input;
while(condition != null){
try {
input = Integer.parseInt(condition);
catch ( NumberFormatException nfe) {
condition = in.readLine();
continue;
newArray.insert(input);
condition = in.readLine();
}or more simply:
while(condition != null){
    try {
        int input = Integer.parseInt(condition);
        newArray.insert(input);
    catch ( NumberFormatException nfe) {
    condition = in.readLine();
}

Network Drive Startup?

Hey guys,
I enabled the feature of launching a network drive every time I login. Right when I put my computer to sleep by closing the lid and then, open later on.... The drive goes away. The only way I can make it come back is manually or by logging off and logging back on. How can I have the drive permanently on my computer?

If the computer that supplies the drive being linked
to, will the computer, during startup, just ignore
that startup item if the drive is 'missing?'
If when the computer that starts up if it cannot find the drive you will get a dialog window appearing stating that it cannot connect to the server.
Is there a way to have the drive just connect when
present?
If you drag the mounted network volume into your dock next to the trash then you can manually click that as and when you want to connect to the network volume.

You are still using acpid. That is triggering the suspend, not logind.
Edit: Also use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without the spaces) for things like your logs. Hit the "quote" button if you are more of a visual learner.
This is how you use code tags.

Since 32.0.3 Firefox restores all my previous tabs on restart.

Firefox restores all my tabs from my last session on startup.
I've verified that I have the start up option set to only show homepage, but Firefox continues to restore all my tabs from my last session. I've even changed the startup option to 'blank page' but to no avail. Firefox seems to be ignoring the startup option entirely.
Any help would be appreciated.

Overriding DPI of images when displaying them in WPF

Posting following because it might help someone else. It took me quite
while to figure this one out.
I started learning C# and WPF recently. I hadn't had so much fun since the
late 1990s when I learned Java.
But I stumbled on one major irritant working on my project, a picture viewer.
Contrary to just about every environment I've encountered, WPF insists on
taking the DPI of images into consideration when displaying them. What I want
is to display the images in some area of my app, pixel-for-pixel unless that
results in the picture going beyond the frame, in which case the image
needs to be scaled down so it fits. I don't want to have a larger image because
the DPI is smaller than 96, and I don't want a smaller image because the DPI
is higher than 96.
As far as I'm concerned, DPI is more often than not a useless number. Two
examples.
1) My camera arbitrarily assigns a DPI value of 72 to all pictures it takes.
   But what "inches" are we talking about here? Obviously there is no answer
   to that question. So it's a meaningless number.
2) If I scan a 35 mm color slide, I will probably do so at a DPI value of
   something like 2400, but I'd sure want to display the resulting image much
   larger. By default, WPF will show it at original size, totally useless.
   The DPI here is certainly meaningful, but not as a display parameter!
I compared two images from same original (leware.net/photo/dpi.html),
one resized to a DPI of 48, the other to a DPI of 192. In a hex editor,
except for the one byte that encodes the DPI value, the two files are
identical. It's the same image, with a different DPI value, but no other
differences.
So how do I get a WPF picture viewer to display images without taking their
DPI into consideration? As every browser and viewer I know will do?
At first, I thought that I would be able to do something like:
    BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();
    img.BeginInit();
        img.UriSource = new Uri(somePathOrUrl);
        img.DpiX = 96.0;   // override
        img.DpiY = 96.0;
    img.EndInit();
But DpiX and DpiY are "get" only, not "set". Yet, it's just a simple number,
and changing it before WPF does anything with the image does not sound like a
big challenge (even when waiting for DownloadCompleted event). It's almost as
if the WPF designers decided that WPI was sooo important that they would never
allow anyone to modify the value...
The first approach I tried used RenderTargetBitmap (created at 96 DPI),
DrawingVisual, DrawingContext classes. Seems quite complex. It worked, but
I wouldn't call it elegant.
After much browsing (and with improving understanding), I found a better approach.
In simple terms, I set the Image's Width and Height to PixelWidth and PixelHeight
(which essentially makes the resulting DPI to be 96), and I set the Image's
MaxWidth and MaxHeight to the space available to the Image in the app, to force
scaling if the source is too large. I used Stretch=Uniform. Code fragments below.
The Image is placed in a UniformGrid container which provides the MaxWidth and
MaxHeight, and which centers the Image inside.
This approach is quite a bit more elegant, it removed nearly 100 lines of code
from the app. I still think though that it's not as simple as it could be.
I had also read about "DPI awareness", didn't really understand it, but it seems
to deal with DPI of display device, not of source images.
So two questions:
1) Is there a even easier way, esp. a way to directly modify or ignore an image's
   DPI values before using it (without copying the image into some new bitmap)?
2) Barring that, is there something simpler than above?
Note that I'm fine with the application being otherwise DPI aware (fonts,
buttons, &c).
Thanks
WPF code fragments of the trivial application I used to fine-tune the second
approach. The two images are 160x100 pixels (but any pair of images smaller
than the display will do the trick), one at DPI 48, one at DPI 192, and named
IMG_6726s48.jpg and IMG_6726s192.jpg. The both show at the same size, as I
wanted.
To see the original problem as I experienced it, set Stretch=None and comment
out the two pairs of lines that set image.Width and image.Height.

            image.Height = isrc.PixelHeight;
            image.MaxWidth = grid.ActualWidth;   // prevents scaling to larger than 1:1
            image.MaxHeight = grid.ActualHeight;

                " image.ActualSize=" + image.ActualWidth + "x" + image.ActualHeight +
                " isrc.PixelSize=" + isrc.PixelWidth + "x" + isrc.PixelHeight +
                " image.Stretch->" + ((image.Stretch == Stretch.None) ? "None" : "Uniform");
        private void buttonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
            Button b = sender as Button;
            string dpi = b.Content as string;
            changeImage(dpi);

Being able to ignore DPI is all I'm asking for, and what I've always done for decades
If the objective is to fill the Window, then yes, it's simple, as the following example of a thumbnail image shows:
<Grid>
<Image Source="http://leware.net/temper/42fp.jpg"/>
</Grid>
Result below. DPI doesn't matter, pixel sizes don't matter, the source fills the Image control, while respecting the proportions.
But I don't want the image to fill the space available if it doesn't have enough pixels, it looks fuzzy and I don't like that.
So I add Stretch=None to the Image control, and it solves my problem, the image is shown at a size that corresponds to its pixel size (63x87), centered.
<Grid>
<Image Source="http://leware.net/temper/42fp.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
</Grid>
The above two XAML fragments give the following results:
The second is what I want. So Stretch=None, unless the image is larger than display area, in which case Stretch=Uniform.
Now I try my two test images, also with Stretch=None because they are smaller than display area.
These two images are both 160x100 pixels, and, when compared in a hex editor, differ
only in the couple of bytes that store the DPI value (0x0030 vs 0x00c0),
all the rest is the same.
<Grid>
<Image Source="http://leware.net/photo/IMG_6726s48.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
</Grid>
and
<Grid>
<Image Source="http://leware.net/photo/IMG_6726s192.jpg" Stretch="None"/>
</Grid>
Here's what I see:
DPI obviously does matter here, much to my surprise. WPF's behavior was unexpected. That was my original problem.
The DPI 48 image is enlarged by a factor of 2, the 192 DPI image is reduced by a factor of 2. What I want is in between, and the same for both images, a display based only on pixel sizes, like most browsers and picture viewers do.
In other words, I want one image pixel to be one display pixel, downsized to fit if the image is too large, but never enlarged beyond 1:1 to fill the available space.
I had a hard time figuring out how to get those two small images to show identically.
I finally got what I wanted with the solution at the top of this thread (overriding size of Image control instead of DPI). I'm sharing because it might help someone else.
Is there a better way to handle this when the DPI is arbitrary? Isn't there a way to just tell WPF to ignore images' DPI values or simply override it (force an image's DPI to 96)?
Quite possibly I'm trying to do something which does not quite fit in the philosophy of WPF. Maybe I'm closer now, I'm still learning (this discussion is helping).
I won't be surprised if my application misbehaves when the DPI of the display is not 96. Not a concern for now.

Downgrade from windows 8 to windows 7

I went to best buy and bought windows 8. I think it a awful operating system. I thought windows 7 was a good operating system. best buy won't refund my money for windows 8 and I don't have any money left to buy windows 7 is there any way I can downgrade to windows 7 for free?

Well, you can downgrade... And, you can manage to do it for free -- at least initially. What you do for free, though, may well come back and bite you hard.
HP urges customers: do not downgrade new PCs to Windows 7
That is not the worst of it.
There may not be HP Drivers for your computer. If you have the skill to deal with this, you are OK -- if not, then you may be unhappy. The Drivers are what makes the hardware work with the operating system. Like Sound, Graphics...
You can turn off many of the Windows 8 "Metro" bits in the Startup Screen -- you can ignore the Startup Screen altogether.

ListenerConfigure not rendering correctly

Hi,
I have just deployed the APEX Listener app into OC4J 10.1.3.5 (SOA Suite) and I have created the required roles and users.
I have modified the OC4J to startup using JDK 1.6.0 u21 (64-bit).
However when I access the listener configuration page http://<server>/apex/listenerConfigure all that is displayed in my browser is the content of the adminTemplate.html file, i.e. the page is not correctly rendered.
Am I missing some configuration?
Thanks,

ASA 5505 Username and Password

Hi All,
I am trying to configure an ASA 5505 with a username and password. I set all the pass words:
password xxxxxxx
enable password xxxxxxx
username xxxxxx password xxxxxxx
When I reload the device it prompts me for the username, then the password and it fails and just asks for the username again. I have even tried to delete the username/password combo but it still prompts me for it. When I do password recovery the confreg is 0x00000001. I am no ASA expert and this is getting a bit frustrating.
When I first configured the device and reloaded it, everything worked fine.....once. Upon the second reload it just keeps prompting me.
Thanks for any help.
Bill

Hello Carter,
Hmm, it sounds like a config-register problem.
So when you are in rommon you got to set the confreg to be on 0x41 so you can ignore the startup-config.
Then when you enter to the ASA please do the following:
enable password cisco
username password cisco
config-register 0x01
wr
and then finally reload,
Regards,
Julio

Is there any way to add a hyperlink to text in Messages.app?

Is there any way to add a hyperlink to text in Messages.app?
I frequently share links via Messages and would like to have clickable text with a hyperlink beneath vs an ugly URL.

Hi,
In iChat and early versions of Messages this used to be CMD + K keys together
This no longer works.
It seems CMD + K is free as a Modifier keystroke.
I would have added it as an item in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
The issue with that is the fact that there is also no longer an Menu item for it. (so it does not work).
You can add a URL and then Right Click and there is an Edit option but this only allows you to change the URL and not add a URL to existing unsent text.
Right Clicking unlinked Text does not allow you to Edit it either (well there are some format option but not Hyperlinks)
I can't find away around this.
I know in the past the AIM service suffered from malicious code sent in Hyperlinks so this might be the reason.

SYNOPSIS
sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...
DESCRIPTION
Sed is a stream editor. A stream editor is used to perform basic text transformations on an input stream (a file or input
from a pipeline). While in some ways similar to an editor which permits scripted edits (such as ed), sed works by making
only one pass over the input(s), and is consequently more efficient. But it is sed's ability to filter text in a pipeline
which particularly distinguishes it from other types of editors.
-n, --quiet, --silent
suppress automatic printing of pattern space
-e script, --expression=script
add the script to the commands to be executed
-f script-file, --file=script-file
add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed
--follow-symlinks
follow symlinks when processing in place
