"No usable keyboard alias" error

I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a machine with a Celeron 2.13GHz processor on an Intel 845G motherboard with 128MB RAM. This is one of the earlier releases of Solaris 10 and I have successfully installed it on a machine with a similar configuration earlier.
This time around, it runs the configuration assistant, asks me to choose an installation mode, and then, regardless of the installation mode, gives me a message, "WARNING: No usable keyboard alias found". It then reboots the machine.
I have read in some other posts that you can ignore the error, but in this case, the machine reboots and does the same thing everytime. I tried with an IBM RapidAccess USB keyboard and an Amigo PS/2 keyboard with the same results.
Is it possible that the install CD has been corrupted? If yes, can I install off a CD image that resides on the hard disk? Also, where can I download the earlier releases of Solaris 10 from?

hi,
I have the same problem as well, right after installing i was able to use my keyboard and able to log on CDE but after first reboot lost my keyboard and unable to start x server...
I am more concerned about keyboard at this time.
any help
Thanks

Keyboard typing errors

My recently purchased HP laptop frequently introduces keyboard typing errors. The cursor will jump to different locations while typing, will introduce unrequested commands, such as erasing, jumping to different pages, etc. I have turned off the fingerpad and the errors continue. Is there a cure?

Can't make «class ctnr» of alias - error message in script

I'm trying to take Apple's own "Add To File Names" script from a few years back and get it to work in 10.6.x but keep getting this error:
Can’t make «class ctnr» of alias "Macintosh HD:Library:Scripts:add to names.scpt" into type text.
I'm not an AppleScript expert by any stretch of the imagination. I'll paste the entire script unedited from Apple:

[Solved] xorg server & keyboard conf error messages after upgrade

I ran my daily upgrade (today was big, from FF to the kernel to xorg) and I was not able to login on GDM afterwards.
It's weird. The X server will start, and so will the GDM login screen. But entering the password will result in a GDM crash (I later found out that KDM and SLIM have the same issue; KDM not starting and SLIM refusing the keyboard input). So after starting an alternate console and trying to start x (startx), I have this error message:
"Th e XKEYBOARDMAP keymap compiler (xbcomp) reports:
Error: Cannot close "/tmp/server-0.xkm" properly (not enough space?)
Output file "/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.
Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices "
I have been fiddling with the keyboard config on xorg.conf but I'm not sure I'm getting anywhere. Also, I downgraded the xorg-server and xkeyboard config packages just to be sure.
Any clue?
Thanks!

Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
* I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
* I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
Thanks!

If you don't explicitly specify a name for the output column, Oracle will try to generate one based on the input expression. If the name does not follow the normal rules for identifiers (one of which is that the name can't contain special symbols, like parentheses) then the name must be enclosed in double-quotes.
Notice that these rules are a little different from the rules about result sets. In the result set of a main query, for example, column names do not have to be unique, and a system-generated name like 'SUM(E.SALARY)" is acceptable.
Actually the book hasnt specfied the need for an alias at this place ...so i wanted to know why am getting this error ..I can't see which book you're reading. Post a quote. If the book is available on line, post a link, too.

CS3 Language Keyboard Input Error

Greetings All,
I have been trouble-shooting this problem for a while, but still it is not resolved. Any help or ideas would be gladly received!
Background: We have a correctly functioning installation of Win XP, and PS CS3 Extended which appears to work normally in every other regard. No obvious errors; no crashes, no start-up complaints; nothing seemingly out of order. I use several installed languages in Windows (EngUK, Russian, Swedish, etc). All of these work normally. All of my installed fonts work correctly in every application on the system except for CS3.
There would appear to be something wrong with CS3's keyboard mapping in foreign languages. When typing with a non-English keyboard setting (any other language) and using TrueType fonts (not Open), only 'missing character' boxes appear in the artwork. The Layers menu displays the typed text correctly, but this will not appear in the artwork. If I use an old install of PS7, I can type using these same fonts correctly in any language. These layers can be imported into CS3, and these WILL display correctly on the artwork. However, the Layers menu in this case displays nonsensical characters. Ergo, I suspect that CS3's keyboard input data is errant.
Where does PS3 keep its information regarding language / keyboard layout? It is possible to edit this file(s)? Are there any other ideas regarding this problem and what might be wrong?
Thanks

"Cannot save alias" error message

I am trying to create an alias and the message that pops up is "Cannot save alias." What does this mean?
It doesn't say that the alias is unavailable. I've been getting this error message since I migrated from MobileMe, which was over 6 months ago. I only have 1 alias created so far, I haven't used up. Anyone have any ideas?

@icloud.com addresses are being rolled out over an unspecified period: you will get one without having to do anything, and it will be additional to your @me.com address. You will get a notification email when your account is updated. You will notice that the alias creation pane shows @icloud.com as the suffix - apparently new @me.com addresses cannot be created and I imagine you will have to wait until your account is upgraded before you can create an alias.

Third-party keyboard caused error when shifting in iMessage

I Just upgraded to iPhone 6 plus and immediately install the 8.0.2. When using iMessage, the third-party keyboard caused an error when shifting between keyboards as in the picture. The selection animation was shifted to the left beyond the screen. The problem was gone when I deleted the third-party keyboards (fleksy and riffsy gif). The error also did not occur in email app or Safari.

Korean keyboard entry error

In Safari while surfing korean websites (example: www.naver.com) an error occurs:
if selecting pre-entered forms and deleting text, and then entering text in Hangul (2 set korean keyboard) if not entering a space or another simbol after the last sillable (example:년) the last text entry remains selected and it is impossible to click anywhere else on the webpage. Also, the keyboard is now in "insert" mode - it will replace the previous sillable entirely if any key stroke is performed.
This did not occur in Snow Leopard and it is extremely annoying when entering lots of text.
Question: when will it be fixed?

Hi Tom,
Thank you for directing me to the proper support area.
It does not happen in other Apps - address book, text edit, and so on.
In Safari it happens even if entering the korean characters in the search area, or the address bar - after entering 년 and not a space or right arrow, if clicking outside the search box it remains with the pop down open (history) while if entering numbers with the korean keyboard or any character in the english keyboard, clicking outside the box causes the box to be closed, as it should.
In Google Chrome and Firefox - if entering Korean characters as described and then clicking on the first search sugestion, it does go to the link as expected (in safari it does not).
It appears that when entering some combinations of Korean characters clicking out does not terminate the text entry (in all other apps and browsers it does, so this is the expected behaviour).

Keyboard shortcuts error - please re-install Photoshp CC

When loading up Photoshop CC I get an error message which says something like "unable to locate keyboard shortcuts, please re-install Photoshop CC. How can I do this?

Well, not knowing whether you have a Mac or PC, you would use the uninstaller found in the PS CC folder (Mac) or Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel (Windows).
Then you can reinstall using the Creative Cloud Desktop app. There would be an "Install" button next to Photoshop CC if your uninstall went correctly. Don't forget to apply any updates through Help > Updates, since the reinstall would go back to the base version. 14.0 instead of 14.2.1.

Could not find IUIBaseCommand for alias Error

Hi everyone,
I developed a new UI Command in KM, but I get the following error in the "default trace":
Could not find IUIBaseCommand for alias
What does mean ?
Thanks & Regards,
Hassan

Hi,
most probably that means you are trying to use command (in some command group or so) which does not exist or is wrongly registered with different alias. It should be logged in the error message what is the alias it can not find.
Best,

Bluetooth keyboard setup error

Just started getting the dreaded bluetooth setup error. I am running Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2012) on OS version 10.10.2. A window pops up indicating bluetooth is having trouble detecting the keyboard. But we have both a wired keyboard and a wired mouse. This window pops up even if you turn bluetooth off. I have had this error before, but I cannot remember how to fix this problem. Anyone out there know about this error and how to resolve the problem?

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC....cannot hurt, might help.

Bluetooth Keyboard Pairing Error

Hello,
I have a CipherLab 1660 bluetooth barcode scanner that is recognized as a keyboard by the TouchPad's Bluetooth Settings application when the scanner is configured in HID mode. The TouchPad prompts me to choose a PIN, which I do (I've tried various combinations of one to four numerals). Then I scan the PIN on the barcode scanner just like I do when I'm pairing it with any other device. Unfortunately, on the TouchPad I get an "Unable to connect" error in red above the device list as soon as I scan the barcode to confirm the PIN at the very end.
On the barcode scanner I've tried SPP Master mode (which makes the TouchPad fail to recognize the device as a keyboard, and instead it shows up as "Other") and SPP Slave mode (which uses a pre-configured PIN of 0000 but still doesn't work with the same error).
Any ideas? It would be great to get this working, and the scanner pairs just fine with other devices (iPad, computers, iPhone, etc.)
Aaron
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Hi Barry,
I've contacted Applecare and indicated the problem. I've mentioned the fact that I also tested the same wireless keyboard with a MacBook I've got and I had similar symptom while attempting to pair both.
Suddenly the pairing worked, hence I'm suspecting a H/W issue with my keyboard, they agreed and initiated a procedure to get this keyboard replaced.
Beside that, they confirmed that disabling the "Allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer" feature may lead to unexpected behavior, hence their recommendation was to keep it enabled.
I'll also take a spare wired keyboard from my office, in case this problem happens again. With a wired keyboard I would have been able to plug it and enter my password to unlock the screen saver, instead of rebooting the iMac.
Thanks for your assistance.
