Questions: 10-keymap.fdi not working // automounting ntfs drives // ++

Hi there,
this time I want to change 100% from windows to linux and i found archlinux to be a really nice system.
I like it "the arch way"
1) I followed the beginner's wiki and choose those xf86-input-evdev 2.3.2-1 drivers.
I set the 10-keymap.fdi file
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />nodeadkeys</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The problem is, that the layout doesn't change to 'de'
I put
setxkbmap de -variant nodeadkeys &
into my.xinitrc, but this is not a good solution, because when logging in with SLIM there is still the english layout (e.g. for passwords with an "y" i have to press "z" because y and z are swaped in de / en layout .)
So what can I do? Is my 10-keymap.fdi  somehow wrong?
2)
I would like to use my windows ntfs partitions in arch, so I installed ntfs-3g. Manual mounting with "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sd.. /mnt/... " works, but how can I manage that arch mounts everything it finds automaticly on startup and while running (e.g adding an usb drive)?
I installed "hal" but nothing is mounted on startup (/mnt is empty?)
3)
I saw there is a "netfs" daemon in my rc.conf
I googled it and I read it is for unix network.
When I install samba later, should I remove it then? (samba can do windows and unix both right?)
4)
I use openbox (and would like to continue using it). Is it possible to make windows "snap" to the edge and take half screen like in Windows 7 ?
And are there any commands or something like that to rearrange windows on the screen, for example "show all windows side by side" or "sorted" ?
This is my rc.conf

1)
replace ...
hi
thanks, it worked!
2)
use udev rules or autofs.
are udev rules and autofs two different ways of automounting devices?
i'm not shure, but i think i read on beginners wiki somewhere that hal automounts my drives?
hal, udev, autofs.. i'm confused
hm i read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev and created those files (with content) as they are written in the wiki
/etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-my-media-automount.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/11-sd-cards-auto-mount.rules
sadly nothing happend (i didnt see any mounted partition in /media or /mnt.. after reboot)
i know that
ls /dev/sd
sda   sda1  sda2  sdb   sdb1
those should be my windows partitions
did i miss somethingor should i better try autofs?

  • TS1702 improved security id, question no. 3 not working which means I can't download apps.  Can anyone help?

    Hello
    I'm trying to down loads apps.  The improved security questions appear but won't let me pass question 3 (ie question 3 is not working).  This means I can't down load an apps.  I am unable to skip this section.  Anyone know what to do?

    Seems like we are not the only ones.  Ipad users are having the same problem.  There is a problem with the server so have been advised to try later.  Maybe Apple should allow users to skip this if they wish too!

  • Udev keymap unresponsive/not working

    Hi,
    I don't seem to get, how to use udev keymaps in a proper way and would appreciate any help on the subject.
    I'm trying to get the Fn keys working on a samsung series 9  laptop I recently bought which makes this also a laptop issue but actually it's more about how udev keymaps work in general.
    In /lib/udev/keymaps there already existed a "samsung-series-9" file and to keep it simple I'm just trying to get 1 of the Fn keys working that's not working properly right now which is the one turning the display brightness down, or in my case Fn+F2.
    So to get the necessary key code I used the udev keymap tool:
    # /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event0
    Press ESC to finish, or Control-C if this device is not your primary keyboard
    scan code: 0x89 key code: brightnessdown
    scan code 0x01 key code: esc
    In this example I pressed Fn+F2 to get the keycode which already and correctly seems to be "brightnessdown" which is exactly what I want.
    Then I altered the already existing keymap and release file
    /lib/udev/keymaps/samsung-series-9
    0x89 brightnessdown # Fn+F2
    /lib/udev/keymaps/force-release/samsung-series-9
    # list of scancodes (hex or decimal), optional comment
    0x89 # Fn+F2 brightness down
    ...and left the rule files untouched since they already contained:
    /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", RUN+="keymap $name samsung-other"
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*SX20S*", RUN+="keymap $name samsung-sx20s"
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="SQ1US", RUN+="keymap $name samsung-sq1us"
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*700Z*", RUN+="keymap $name 0xBA ejectcd 0x96 keyboardbrightnessup 0x97 keyboardbrightnessdown"
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*700T*", RUN+="keymap $name 0xAD leftmeta"
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*90X3A*|*900X3*|*900X4*", RUN+="keymap $name samsung-series-9"
    /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keyboard-force-release.rules:
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", RUN+="keyboard-force-release.sh $devpath samsung-other"
    ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*90X3A*|*900X3*|*900X4*", RUN+="keyboard-force-release.sh $devpath samsung-series-9"
    I think the product_name regex should work, because when I cat my product_name I get this:
    # cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
    900X3C/900X3D/900X3E/900X4C/900X4D
    This is what I did, but unfortunately it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
    I then tried another key, just to eliminate failure potential and picked the one which turns the keyboard backlight down, Fn+F9 in my case.
    This resulted in:
    # /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event0
    Press ESC to finish, or Control-C if this device is not your primary keyboard
    got scan code event 0x97 without a key code event
    scan code 0x01 key code: esc
    ...and here I don't know how to continue at all.
    So thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Question mark key does not work..... starnge

    right, every key but the question mark seems to be working fine. One thing I know, this is an internal malfunction. I connected another keyboard via usb and the same problem persists.
    Anyone experience this weirdness before(question mark)
    eg
    p.s. every time I try to use it I get a sonar sound only

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

  • G505s - Touchpad hot key function not working with lenovo driver

    I'm using windows 8.1, Lenovo G505s laptop. Recently I got replacement from Lenovo regarding touchpad after that this Fn(F7) touchpad enable/disable not working. This is happening only when I installied touchpad driver provided by lenovo and works well with standard microsoft driver (Ofcourse, no multigesture support with that driver).
    We perfomed following operations:
    1. HotKey mode enable/disable in BIOS
    2.Reinstallation of OS
    3. Reinstallation of driver(manually)
    All cases with microsoft driver this function working but with touchpad driver it is not working. It's almost 90days (88thday) daily contacting both Lenovo customer support and service center people but no use.
    If anybody having this problem and have a solution please share! (My machine under warranty!)

    hi phani_kumar,
    It's likely that you have a Synaptics driver (you can verify this by its hardware ID or use a utility software like AIDA 64 Extreme Edition).
    - Link to picture (Synaptics)
    - Link to picture (ELAN
    If you're unable to install the driver below, can you follow this guide on how to disable driver signature enforcement then try to reinstall the driver again and observe if you can now toggle the Fn+F6.

  • Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
    On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
    When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
    Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
    On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

    I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
    Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
    If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
    Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
    Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
    - from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
    - go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
    - go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
    Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
    If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
    Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
    1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
    delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
    2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
    delee the PDF port monitor if present
    3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
    again delete and pdf printer subkey
    If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
    Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
    Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
    Copy and pate the following commands in order
    1: net stop spooler
    2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
    3: net start spooler
    4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
    That should set back the pdf printer.
    This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

  • WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT does not work on local drive

    Hi.
    I have used WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the past. I have a situation where I can do the following web.show_document('file://p:\some-directory\foo.txt'). However, as soon as I try to read something off my local hard drive web.show_document('file://c:\some-directory\foo.txt') it does not work. This is very frustrating. There is nothing special security wise and the path and file names are correct. If it works for one, it should work for the other.
    Thanks,
    BradW

    So, looks like this is an IE issue. I need to add the form server site to my list of Trusted Sites. Once I did that, everything started to work fine. Thought I'd share in case anyone is really interested.....

  • JSP Not Working with Thin Driver

    My JSP is not working with Oracle thin driver but it is working with Oracle OCI driver.
    From my jsp i am calling a stored procedured and passing 170 parameters to the procedure. This JSP works with Oracle OCI Driver configured as thrid party drivers in iAS6.0 SP2, but not working with Oracle Thin Driver configured as third party drivers in iAS6.0. My thin driver JDBC Connection URL is as follows:
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MAPDBI01)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = MAPS))).
    I have to give this URL because my production server deployment consists of iWS4.1 SP5 and iAS6.0 SP2 in different solaris boxes and Oracle 8.1.7 Database server in another Solaris Box. There is a pool of proxy servers between iAS6.0 box and the oracle box.

    Wim,
    I'd really appreciate it if you could provide some sample code. A complete, small, simple java class that I could copy and try out would be wonderful -- if it's not too much trouble.
    Thanks heaps (in advance :-),
    Avi.

  • Line-in not working with new driv

    Has anyone else had issues with the line-in jack not working with new drivers? Is there a way to get it to work??Very frustrated. Is there a link to the beta drivers, they worked better for me then the new one.

    The line input on the mini requires a 'line-level' signal, so the only microphones that work are ones that have an amplified output. Standard mics don't generate enough voltage to drive the mini's amplifiers.
    That's the reason the mics work with the Griffin device (it has an amplifier) but not the mini directly.

  • Spotlight not working with External Drive (Wireless)

    I have setup the new Airport Extreme (AE) and connected WD 500GB via USB to the (AE). Spotlight does not recognize the external drive when it is connected to the AE. It will of course work if I directly attach external drive to my Macbook Pro. Any ideas on how to get Spotlight to "see" and index this external drive. Thanks.

    I was able to get my Airport disk working using the following Terminal command:
    sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Maxtor\ HD
    Replace Maxtor HD with the name of your HD. (The slash indicates a non-breaking space.)
    It took awhile and then it started indexing.
