Setxkbmap and single layout mode

Hi everyone!
I have noticed that I can't use some hotkeys, like Ctrl-c or Ctrl-v (and many others) when I'm switching to the single 'ru' layout:
$ setxkbmap ru -model pc104
It happens since a produced keysym belongs to the cyrilic set:
$ xev -event keyboard | grep state
state 0x10, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
state 0x14, keycode 54 (keysym 0x6d3, Cyrillic_es), same_screen YES,
One of possible workaround that I have found is to set specific variant. Well... it simply fails:
$ setxkbmap ru -model pc104 -variant alt-int
Error loading new keyboard description
But when I'm adding another layout all seems work:
$ setxkbmap ru,us -model pc104 -variant alt-int
Keysyms are all valid in that case:
$ xev -event keyboard | grep state
state 0x10, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
state 0x14, keycode 54 (keysym 0x63, c), same_screen YES,
So I'm here to find out if it is a bug, or feature? Can someone please explain to me it? Since I can't find any references to this behavior.
Thanks,
Max

Does it work without -model pc104 (and why do you add that option)?

Difference between emergency state and single user mode ?

Hi,
I want to know the difference between emergency state which we normally use in suspect mode database and single user mode.
Navakanth

Emergency/suspect mode is tells you the state of the database and database is not available for user action but where as single user mode tells the user action preference. Database is active and available for the user action.
You can refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522682.aspx
EMERGENCY
The database is marked READ_ONLY, logging is disabled, and access is limited to members of the sysadmin fixed server role. EMERGENCY is primarily used for troubleshooting purposes. For example, a database marked as suspect due to a corrupted log file can be
set to the EMERGENCY state. This could enable the system administrator read-only access to the database. Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can set a database to the EMERGENCY state.
SINGLE_USER
Specifies that only one user at a time can access the database. If SINGLE_USER is specified and there are other users connected to the database the ALTER DATABASE statement will be blocked until all users disconnect from the specified database. To override
this behavior, see the WITH <termination> clause.
The database remains in SINGLE_USER mode even if the user that set the option logs off. At that point, a different user, but only one, can connect to the database.
Before you set the database to SINGLE_USER, verify the AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS_ASYNC option is set to OFF. When set to ON, the background thread used to update statistics takes a connection against the database, and you will be unable to access the database
in single-user mode. To view the status of this option, query the is_auto_update_stats_async_on column in the sys.databases catalog view.
If the option is set to ON, perform the following tasks:
Set AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS_ASYNC to OFF.
Check for active asynchronous statistics jobs by querying the sys.dm_exec_background_job_queue dynamic management view.
If there are active jobs, either allow the jobs to complete or manually terminate them by using KILL STATS JOB.

Won't boot normally or in recovery and single user mode, safe mode hangs up halfway

iMac locked up with visual glitches while playing the Mac beta client of League of Legends. Had to force a shutdown by holding the power button. Now it won't boot; after the Apple logo and spinning wheel I just get a white screen. I tried launching in recovery mode, that didn't work. Then I tried safe mode; the bar filled a little over half and then nothing but white screen. I was able to boot single user mode once; ran fsck -fy and rebooted, still white screen. Now I can't get back to single user mode. I booted with command option P R to reset the NVRAM and got the second chime, but still nothing.
Luckily all my important files are in the cloud, but I'm really hoping my computer isn't completely dead. I haven't had any issues in the past. I've even been playing LoL for over a month with no issues, until now when I tried to play the newer game types, Dominion and ARAM; both caused visual glitches forcing shutdowns. I was able to restart my computer with no problem after the first two visual glitches, but after the last one I am stuck at the white screen as I described above.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'd bet the drive is damaged. You could try reformatting if possible. Again, you are booting from the Recovery-10.8.2 disk if you can. If you can't, then you will need to use the installer disc that came with the computer.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Screaming Fans ,10.4.3., and Single User Mode.

I wanted to add my experience with the screaming fan problem and 10.4.3.
When I ran Disk Utility and used the verify disk option I received some minor errors and proceeded to boot the OS X install disk and run Disk Utility from there. When I did I received no errors. Rebooted back to 10.4.3 and reran disk utility and received the same minor errors. So I read one of the Mac sites that stated that one needed to run in single user mode and execute fsck f. This where the fun started.
When I went into single user mode the fans went wild. But I knew this to be normal and proceeded with repairing the disk (which was successful as evident with no errors being reported while booted to the desktop and running live verify disk. But before I got to that point the fans remained screaming after the reboot to 10.4.3. I reset the PRAM and NVRAM but to no avail. The fans would not quite down. The fix turned out to be very simple I unplugged the computer (after shutting down) for about 15 seconds. Re plugged it in and it was fine after that. Fans back to normal! I replicated the problem applied the same fix and again every thing was normal.
I just thought I would pass this on to the iMac community.

Hi Steven, bit unclear on a couple things.
When I went into single user mode the fans went wild. But I knew this to be normal and proceeded with repairing the disk
Normal for fans to go wild in single user or when repairing the disk?
I replicated the problem applied the same fix and again every thing was normal.
The problem being screaming fan and the fix being resetting SMU? (unplug for 15secs). So how did you replicate it, and is it really fixed now?

10.4.3 and Single User Mode, now Wireless Keyboard can

Hello all.
IN case you haven't found out which I did, just to let you know, with the latest OS 10.4.3 update, now you can boot into Single User Mode (fsck) with your
b wireless keyboard
and still at the same time
b continue to complete fsck process with your wireless keyboard!!
No more switching to a regular wired keyboard just to complete the process!
Cheers

Password protected EFI and Single User Mode

Hello Community,
if I protect the EFI with a password than the single user mode is disabled. But I thought that I can enter the single user mode by entering the EFI password but no password prompt appears. Only the possibility to change the startup volume is accessible by a password prompt. Do I miss a possibility or is the only way to enter the single user mode by bypassing or disable the password by using the firmware password utility on the installation disk without violence?
BTW: I know the act of violence by changing the RAM configuration but this isn't the way I want to describe in the system documentation
Thx in advance & Bye Tom
Message was edited by: prontosystems

Try holding the Option key while booting. It should ask for the password, then allow any boot options after you select the drive. If you boot from the install DVD (using the Option key and password), you can use the "Utilities" menu to disable the password, after choosing your language.

Dual and Single Channel Mode

Talking about dual channel and single channel. Is it a theory or is it really a big significant difference in performance between the two? Just curious

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I'll go tinker around a little more and see what I can do with this board

Ni 6111 and Single Scan mode - any example code

Hi,
I am using the Measurement Hardware Driver Development Kit (MHDDK) to program an NI 6111. I just cannot work out how to get
single scan to work. No matter what I do, I either get no conversions or a full FIFO.
The example code does not include any Single Scan examples and I would be extremely grateful if someone could provide me with example code.
thanks
Russell Thamm

Hi Russell-
Is there a reason why you have decided to perform register-level programming with this device? It is supported by NI-DAQmx for Windows and NI-DAQmx Base for Linux and Mac.
Regardless, if you would like to request support for the MHDDK I would encourage you to repost your question on the DDK Forum.
Hopefully this helps-

Single User Mode Question

I use single user mode to do fsck because doing it on a live disk takes way too long. I was wondering if there is a way to repair permissions from single user mode. Thanks

1. what does AFAIK mean?
As Far As I Know
2. What I have gathered is that it is near next to y difficult to repair permission fro the CLI and single user mode.
Correct. You can't use diskutil because the disk framework isn't loaded. You can do it if you're booted from an install DVD, though.

Why won't single user mode recognize /sbin/mount command?

I need help from people who are knowledgable abou these Mac wonders of the world and single user mode.
I'm trying for the life of me to run "memtest" in single user mode and am finding it impossible.
After I boot into single user mode, I get a "Shell>" prompt.
I type in /sbin/fsck/ -y to do some check thing. I then type in /sbin/mount -uw /
Both times I get an error saying that "/sbin/yada yada yada is not recognized as an internal or external command, batch or whatever"
No command work at all. I have no clue what I'm doing and am using instructions from where I got the memtest app. Sure I could just run it from the Terminal but then you're not testing all of the RAM, only the available portion. There's a huge chunck that won't be tested as OSX is using it. I want to do this as I just upgraded RAM to 8G with Crucial and now my MBP is acting very slow and weird.
HELP???? Why does this have to be sooooo hard.

I found the solution to the problem. Somone on a different forum had the same issue at one time. The problem is my use of Refit. When you hold Command-S at start when using refit you go into a single user type mode inside the refit shell. So it is something different.
Instead I needed to let the Mac boot Refit like normal. With the Mac partition highlighted press "F2" and it will display boot options for the Mac partition. One of them is Mac OSX single user mode. Simply select and hit enter and then I enter the correct single user mode and I'm off.
Then everything works like it should. I was my own undoing with my use of Refit.

Opening InCopy files in Layout Mode

How do you set up a default to open all InCopy files in Layout Mode? (CS5)

Without any document open, go into the Menu item "View" and select Layout Mode. From then on all files will open in that mode.

6.5 Upgrade and Adaptive Layouts

I just upgraded from ALUI 6.1 to 6.5. When I edit the experience definitions, under 'Edit Object Settings' there is no option for 'Adaptive Page Layout Settings'. I checked Configuration Manager and Adaptive layout mode is enabled. Did I miss something in the upgrade process?? or am I just missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Jason

Jason,
For me it appears on the left panel beneath login settings.
You may need to be logged in as an admin account to see it, not sure.
Otherwise verify your install and that you loaded all the pte files. You can do that by looking at the source code of any of your portal pages and at the bottom of the page it'll tell you the version.
It should look something like this:
<!-Portal Version: 6.5.0.323160, Changelist: 323160, Build Date: 03/21/2008 at 12:21 AM-->

HT1492 Single user mode not working.

Whenever I hit command-s to go into single user mode it doesn't work. I used to do it all the time to help my grandma who doesn't let me know her password, but always forgets it reset her computer. Please help!

Thank you! The thread you posted had my problem exactly, and the solution. It was the Macally keyboard, so I uninstalled the driver (and single user mode worked), and then I installed an older driver, so now my keyboard works AND single user mode works. If all of my computer problems could be so easy...

Single User Mode Crash HELPPPP!!!

So, I just finished installing windows 7 build 7022, and using the modified bootcamp.msi to get all of the drivers installed.
I went to boot into OSX, and all that it does is sit on the grey apple screen while the gear spins, and spins, and spins.
I went into single user mode and this is the crash report that I got.

Correct. You can't use diskutil because the disk framework isn't loaded. You can do it if you're booted from an install DVD, though.

Different display page layout in Display Layout mode and in Preview mode

Hi everyone,
can anybody help me to understand why it is different display page layout in
Display Layout mode:
I have 2 collumns
and in Preview mode:
I have only one column
is there some option that I didn"t check in layout page properties?

The only thing you can try, is to have a defined number of lines, where the last line only consists of a few words. That may(!) give enough room for different browser rendering. But there is definitely no guarantee.
You may as well force the text frame to be converted to an image (Place one single character – point, space – out of a system font. This will force Muse to convert the text into an image – thus preventing txt reflow)
