[SOLVED] French Canadian keyboard strange behaviour
Hello!
I just upgraded to Gnome 2.30 in [testing] and my keyboard has a strange behaviour. With Gnome 2.28, my keyboard layout was set to Canadian French (legacy), and still is, though some of the keys do not behave the same. For instance, the accents "`", "¸" and ^ do not behave as usual, but rather give me some letter with that accent on it, rather than letting me choose the letter on which put the accent.
Moreover, the SHIFT+3 combination gives me a # instead of a /, but not in all software. Google Chrome has the good behaviour, but gnome-terminal gives me a #.
Do you understand any of this?
I'll post the packages I have upgraded.

Problem solved!
I remembered I once configured my keyboard with HAL and /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi was set to xkb.layout=ca and xkd.variant=fr. I changed the GDM layout to Canada and removed the xkb.variant=fr from the .fdi file and everything was fixed!

Does Canadian French layout keyboard purchased in Canada good to use?
There is a current sale event in Futureshop and Bestbuy in Canada, but the one is the one on sale is with French-Canadian version. Could anyone share your experience with us that what will be the differences? ie. keyboard issue and bundled software language support?? Thanks a lot
The software of the mac is multilingual and the same no matter where you buy it. The layout of the French Canadian keyboard will be different than that for US. To see it go to

Problems with French external keyboard with the Playbook
I just bought the Microsoft Wedge mobile bluetooth French keyboard. My playbook sees it and connects to it, but believes it to be an English keyboard and types the associated English keys when the French character keys are pressed. It's a French Canadian keyboard, not French from France, and none of the three keyboard options the settings menu for keyboard offers me seem to correspond. How do I get it to recognize the French characters properly?
Install and use Lab Tick.

French USB keyboard for writing email??
I was wondering how i could get a usb french (or french-canadian) keyboard for my macbook. I often write emails to people in france, but i hate using the keyboard.
I tried to go to the canadian us store to buy the keyboard, but then when i tried to order it, it said it could only be shipped anywhere within canada.
Is there any way i can get a french keyboard in the us??Canadian-French, Canadian-English. Yeah
If u live in canada i think apple gives u a choice.
France-French and Canadian-French have keys like AZ and QW in different places. You might want to make sure you get the one you are used to.
I just need all the accent keys.
Of course you can make all the accents on the standard US layout as well, via Option/alt key shortcuts (e.g. é is made by Option/Alt + e, then e). Or you can install a US International layout.

[solved] setxkeymap french canadian
Hi,
I used to add this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "ca"
Option "XkbVarian" "fr"
EndSection
to my xorg.conf to have french canadian keymap.
But things have changed, and now the way to do it is to type:
setxkeymap ca,fr
The problem is, the new way does not gives the same results. For example, the "è,à" are tied to a single key for the new way, and they were ties to a key combination, wich is the usual way for the french canadian keymap.
How do I set it to use the correct keymap?
Thanks,
Daedhel

Daedhel
Calm down. You don't even know where to look, so how can you send a bug report? Concentrate on finding out how it works instead. Only after you know how it works, you will be able to say if it works, and only then, if it doesn't work as it is supposed to, is when you can write a bug report that is worth the name, because you have to explain exactly what it is that isn't working.
setxkbmap works fine for me. I everytime I start Gnome I have to run it. If you use Gnome, you can put it in System/Preferences/Sessions and it will be executed as it should. -
MB keyboard skin for qwerty french canadian
Hello all, as the title says, I am looking for a skin to protect my MB white keyboard. I have a french canadian qwerty keyboard
Anyone know if this available somewhere?
Regards,
floydThe CSA keyboard layout is not one I'm familiar with (and at 61 yrs old, I don't really want to learn how to type again ) How can that be converted to a .keylayout ?
I would probably use Ukelele to modify the CSA version:

What in CSA needs to be changed? I've done lots of these and could probably make what you need without much work. -
[solved] AMD Radeon - strange behaviour after mesa-update
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is my first posting, I will try to give as much as detailed information refering to my problem as possible. Please be patient if I ask for solutions which for you all seem easy and logical, I am a Newbie.
The details: I am running a HP Pavilion 17 " AMD Quadcore laptop, 8gb Ram, Arch Linux 32bit Kernel 3.17.1 XFCE desktop with an AMD Radeon graphic card for about a few weeks now. Everything went fine so far, but last Saturday I did an update via pacman-Syu, the update included a mesa package. All went smooth as ever. Then after a reboot the XFCE desktop had stripes across the laptop screen, the mouse cursor had disappeared, also letters of the icon descriptions and the menus were missing, some strange "hieroglyphics" appeared instead of them. I wasn't able to downgrade the mesa-package as I nearly wasn't able to open the terminal because of the missing mouse cursor, then I managed somehow to get into the terminal and gave in the commands but the writing was incomplete and/or did not work because of these strange and missing letters.
No problem, I thought to myself, a fresh install will do the work, so I wipped my hard drive using Parted Magic, then I did a fresh Arch install (Netinstall), this time using LXDE instead of XFCE as my desktop environment. When I booted into the login screen first, it looked fine but after logging into the desktop all the stripes, the missing mouse cursor and the strange letters appeared again. So is there any solution to that strange behaviour ? Before the Saturday-update everything worked without any problems for weeks. BTW other OS work without these problems, I tried Macpup just for fun, no messing-up with my Radeon graphics card happened.
Sorry for my piss poor English I am Austrian. Sorry for eventually causing any inconvenience asking this question. Regards, Fladi.

LR 1.3.1 strange behaviour: L key adds keywords and removes pictures from collection
After updating to LR 1.3.1 yesterday I found a very strange behaviour that I cannot explain: While in the Library module and looking at a picture from a collection (in loupe mode) I cycle through the different light modes using the L key. Then suddenly (after several hits of the L key) a keyword is added (not always the same keyword) and at the same time an unknown number of pictures is removed from the collection. The keyword is not added to the picture I was currently viewing, but to another one from the same collection. This has not happened before and I have no idea what is going on. I can restore the collection by relaunching an older catalog but of course this does not solve the problem. Can anybody help?
(PC, Win XP prof SP 2, 4 Gig RAM)It is possible that instead of hitting the l key, or perhaps within the same sequence of hits your are in fact accidentally hitting the k key.
K is the shortcut for "Add shortcut keyword"
Of course you would have had to set that particular keyword at some point and it does not explain the different keywords being assigned.
Unless the alt key was involved somehow and you were rating the images with 1-9 numbers. That would account for different keywords being assigned and would seem arbitrary.
To check: look at one or two of the images that you may have rated using a number key and then look at the keyword set the keyword came from. Press the alt key and a number from 1-9 will appear next to the keyword. If they match then thats the answer.
If you weren't rating the images this way then.....??
Perhaps there is a fault with the keyboard itself rather than the program.
David -
Does anyone know where the 'at' symbol ('arobas' in French) on the small aluminium usb french keyboard actually is? I have found most other symbols - not all are where they are meant to be. This keyboard is plugged into an HP British computer where I have changed the language settings to French.
It is printed on the second top left key but both upper and lower case here are actually the arrow symbols. As i mentioned not everything is where it should be. I would be grateful if anyone who knows would pass on this information.ACSKW wrote:

I don't think this could be an Apple French AZERTY keyboard, which looks like
Instead you may have Canadian French (qwerty) keyboard, which looks like
If so, the Windows French layout @ would be at option/alt plus 0. -
Strange behaviour: two servers on the same port
Hi!
I hope this is the right section for this post. I need help about a strange behaviour involving a ServerSocket.
For my thesis I need to write a program that receives data from a pre-existing DSMS client, filters them and then sends them to a pre-existing DSMS server. And here is my problem: if I try to create a ServerSocket on the same port of the DSMS server, my program throws no exception, and the servers seem running on the same port. This is a behaviour that I'd like to avoid, but I cannot understand what the problem is. Can you help me?
The source code of the DSMS server can be found here (it's written in C++): http://infolab.stanford.edu/stream/code/stream-0.6.0.tar.gz
The source code of my server class, instead, is this one:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class ThreadGenerator {
private ServerSocket server;
public void connect(String servPort, String cHost, String cPort) {
try {
server = new ServerSocket(servPort);
System.out.println("SERVER running on port "+servPort);
} catch (BindException e) {
System.out.println("Address already in use!");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
try {
while(true){
Socket client = server.accept();
StreamThread T = new StreamThread(client, cHost, cPort);
T.start();
} catch (EOFException e) {
System.out.println("Server closed connection!");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
}I'm programming on Mac OSX Tiger, with Java 1.5.0.
Thanks in advance for your help.The problem is still happening to me, I tried in this very moment. The code I'm using is the one I posted, and the second server is the one that I linked. I don't think there's anything else to add.
If you're sure that the problem is not in my code, then it means that it is in the linked server, which partially solves the problem. But I'd like to know, if it's possibile, if there is any other way to check if the port is already in use. -
Strange behaviour from new 2012R2 in old domain
Hi all,
At work (education level), I'm starting to take charge of windows admin, so beiing a noob admin I'm finding strange behaviours that I hope you can help me solve them all :-)
We've one (big) domain with about 5000 computers (workers and students all together), and around 50000 users (again, workers and students all together) setup like this:
DC-DOMAIN-1:
Windows Server 2008R2
Shares NETLOGON and SYSVOL
DC-DOMAIN-2:
Windows Server 2003 R2 x64
Shares CertEnroll, NETLOGON, SMSLOGON, SYSVOL
Checking RootDSE, I see 'domainControllerFunctionaly is Windows 2003' (DC-DOMAIN-2)
So, with this setup, I've noticed these strange behaviours, hope list isn't too big (guess there will be more behaviours but these seemed too odd):
1) On DC-DOMAIN-2, WinServer 2003 eventlog, inside 'Directory Service', I found this warning event ID 1083 (Source NTDS Replication):
Active Directory could not update the following object with changes received from the domain controller at the following network address because Active Directory was busy processing information.
Object:CN=<an user name>, CN=Users, DC=DOMAIN
Usually followed by an information event (eventid 1955) which says:
ctive Directory encountered a write conflict when applying replicated changes to the following object.
Object:
<SAME USER OBJECT THAN PREVIOUS EVENT ID>
Time in seconds:
0
Event log entries preceding this entry will indicate whether or not the update was accepted.
A write conflict can be caused by simultaneous changes to the same object or simultaneous changes to other objects that have attributes referencing this object. This commonly occurs when the object represents a large group with many members, and the functional level of the forest is set to Windows 2000. This conflict triggered additional retries of the update. If the system appears slow, it could be because replication of these changes is occurring.
User Action
Use smaller groups for this operation or raise the functional level to Windows Server 2003.
And having as result that user being blocked in domain.
2) I've added a new print server based on Windows Server 2012R2 (running inside an updated ESX 5.5 with VMXNET3 ethernet adapter as recommended by vmware), and seen in the event viewer these warnings/errors:
At System log:
Error Event ID 5783, Source NETLOGON:
The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for the domain DOMAIN is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \\PRINTSERVER to \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name has been cancelled.
I've seen Event ID 5783 with DC-DOMAIN-1 too....
Error Event ID 5719, Source NETLOGON:
This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain DOMAIN due to the following:
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
This may lead to authentication problems. Make sure that
this computer is connected to the network. If the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
If this computer is a domain controller for the specified domain, it sets up the secure session to the primary domain controller emulator in the specified domain. Otherwise, this computer sets up the secure session to any domain controller in the specified domain.
At Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectinoManager/Admin found also this warning:
Warning Event ID 20499 Source TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager:
Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration from server \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for user administrator
3) If I try Group Policy Modeling on DC-DOMAIN-1 (server 2008R2), everything works fine, no matter if I try it against DC-DOMAIN-1 or DC-DOMAIN-2, but if I try this from the Server 2012R2 (the one from point 2), I get this:
Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-2: Gets executed, but all GPO show as inaccessible, empty or disabled.
Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-1: Sometimes it gets executed as DC-DOMAIN-2, sometimes I get an error saying query can't be executed.
4) From server 2012R2, I usually manage printing GPO. If I click on the domain root (GPMC, forest, Domains, DOMAIN-NAME-ROOT) right pane, I get a pop up saying:
'A processing error ocurred collecting data using this base domain controller. Please change the base domain controller and try again'
After closing popup, right pane says something like 'DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name' is the baseline domain controller for this domain.
No infrastructure Status information exists for this domain.
Click the Detect Now button below to gather infrastructure status from all of the domain controllers in this domain.
Pressing 'Detect Now' does nothing, and trying to select New Baseline DC shows again same pop up than before.
5) Last, but not least, I've feeling that GPO takes too much to apply. I've found scenarios in which even after executing 'gpupdate /force' correctly on client computer either local or domain admin, I can't see the new changes (gpresult says it has been
updated though). But couldn't find anything on eventlog that informs about problems with GPOs...
For all these strange behaviours I've noticed in last month that I started checking things as sys admin, I believe domain is damaged, or something is wrong there (not just my new server 2012R2, even if it's running inside an ESX, blehh), so please, any hint
on what to check, what to change, what to fix, would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.Hi Paul,
Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out all broken things reported by tests :( Guess Jesper's suggestion about adding a new 2008 DC to get rid of 2003 and start checking again after that may be best option.
I'll try to summarize list of things I believe are wrong:
running
DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log for every DC, shows different errors. They show things such as:
another domain running here (not administered by us, only relationship is that our users are shared with that domain, nothing else) appear when Printing out pDsInfo (as if they were DC of our domain too, but they do not even share RootDomain). Guess it
may be for a bug old sys admin had when clonning from his 2008R2 template, that forgot to change SID... I already noticed 1 year ago our print server shared SID with those DC, guess there may be more servers sharing SID too :-(
Within Starting test: Replications, I see few messages at Replication Latency Check, such as the one for CN=Schema, CN=Configuration, DC=<ourdomain>:
Latency information for 35 entries in the vector were ignored.
35 were retired Invocations. 0 were either: read-only replicas and are not verifiably latent, or dc's no longer replicating this nc. 0 had no latency information (Win2K DC)
On Services test, I see an
Invalid service type: RpcSs on DC-DOMAIN-3, current value
WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, expected value WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
On SystemLog, I see LOTS of warnings/errors such as:
A warning event occurred. EventID: 0x80000002
Time Generated: 07/28/2014 08:21:54
(Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
0x503)
An error event occurred. EventID: 0xC0000003
Time Generated: 07/28/2014 08:22:18
(Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
0x3afc)
Missing entries on DNS (we've a static DNS)
netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log Showed again DNS problems such as our primary DNS pointing to all DC, secondary
DNS pointing just to DC with FSMO roles,...
repadmin.exe /showrepl * /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt Gave no errors, now I must check in detail
if every replica is correct
And finally,
dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc" gave more DNS problems:
One or more DNS servers may not be authoritative for the domain
One or more DNS servers did not respond to UDP queries
One or more zone files may have expired
SOA record data was unavailable and/or missing on one or more DNS servers
Sumarizing, guess it will be better to fix DNS problems, promote new 2008R2 DC to get rid of 2003 one, promote domain to 2008 too, check again for messages and relationship with other domain, and then come back here for support if needed
EDIT: Almost forgot to talk about SYSVOL folder. As said before, there are 426 GPO folders inside Policies. Of them, 375 have an inetres.adm files in it (smallest one 1398 KB, almost all of them 2307 or 2707 kb).... -
Strange behaviour - any ideas?
Strange behaviour began when i was unable to open a new page in photoshop.
The next day i was unable to print from word or photoshop or emails.
However i could print from freehand and excel!
I used disk 1 to verify and repair disk.
this did not solve the problem as then when i tried to open Safari the toolbar opened but no window.
I have reinstalled the operating system making an archive but this also has not had an effect.
Any ideas on what to do next or should I just reinstall the operating system over the old one?
many thanks 4 any helpSarah, to help the knowlegable users here please advise which model G5 iMac you have & include this info in your system info preference by clicking on the "My Settings" link in the right hand column.-->
This way, you won't have to keep repeating yourself and the knowlegable users will be able to provide you with the correct trouble shooting information/solutions if the problem is your computer.
Also, it will be helpful if you will advise which version of Word, Photoshop you have, which email program & the type of printer you are using.
Thank you. -
Strange behaviour when placing text frame on top of image
Hi,
Win XP, FM 8.04
I have a front cover that consists of a TIF image that bleeds off the page. On top of that image I want to put a text frame with the book title.
The strange thing is that when I create the text frame and use the toolbar buttons to nudge it down on the page, the text (but not the frame) suddenly jumps to a totally different place way down on the page, despite only nudging it, say, 10 mm.
Any ideas why this is happening?
/MatsHi,
Partly solved:
After some tests, it seems FM does not like when you try to move a text frame over a transparent area in an image. The image in question was made by importing a PDF into Photoshop, then saving as TIF. Since the PDF contained an area that was had full transparency in InDesign (i.e. "Paper"), that area was also in the TIF image.
The strange behaviour starts exactly at the border where the transparency starts. In non-transparent areas, there is no problem.
Seems like a bug.

Nokia C3-01 -strange behaviour/ problems with Noki...
When I was choosing my new mobile, I had two options : Samsung Wave 533 and Nokia C3-01. After a lot of hesitance I decided to pick up Nokia, believing to its high quality despite its poor media potential. However, now I think that it was a bad idea.
Firstly, I have never thought that Touch and Type won't have ability to adjust brightness of the screen (AWFUL IN THE NIGHT), set up more then one alarm and use many of JAVA applications. When I tried to install some applications, it said- out of memory. Out of memory?! My old SE K770i could much more! What annoys me the most is that I can't use my e-mail account via Nokia Mail. When I press the icon of it , there is an error Null pointer exception and applications shuts. Other strange behaviour- while I was typing sms , suddenly there was hard, long vibration, screen went white and mobile restarted. Other users of C3-01, check this: go to messages, then other messages , then direct , start typing and try to go back to menu- screen turns white, mobile restarts (I'm polish , so names may be a little bit different) . How on earth, can mobile restart so often?.
, Secondly,the funniest one- Ovi shop. Important thing in every Nokia. Guess what- I can't use it! When I to launch the apllication and try to go to the shop, there is information that it's not avaible for my phone. I used it a week ago and worked properly.
All in all, I hope that Nokia will share an update of software to this model. I am just so disappointed. What I am sure about that next mobile will not be from finnish enterprise.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Sorry Brother, Your Device is totally misfunctioned and FAULTY, You Need to go back to Nokia Care Centre and GET IT REPLACED.
Your Device is faulty.
Please Dont Blame Nokia Or the C3-01 Device Because both are QUALITY PRODUCTS.
I have C3-01 Since 4 Months Now and I havent Had a Single Complain about my device even though I am a Rough Handler and Using the Mobile Upto its Extend.
You Have 2 options, Try To Fix your Device at Home By :
Soft reset your Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type you need to press *#7780# and then Dial. The security code is 12345. Once you complete this, your phone will come back to factory settings, but you will not loose personal data. Anyway it is recommended to make a backup before performing any of the mentioned procedures.
To hard reset your Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type you just have to press *#7370# and press Dial. The phone will request the security code that is by default 12345. Please be aware that you will loose all the data in your phone, so you should backup all relevant information.
If Problem still persist then Connect to PC Suite/Ovi Suite and Reinstall the Firmware.
BUT U NEED YOUR DEVICE TO BE UPDATED TO ITS LATEST FIRMWARE = v06.05
If still not fixed then, REPLACE YOUR DEVICE ASAP, because as given by Nokia, C3-01 Device Works according to its Specification as Specified.

}Hello.
If a 32 bit process reads from /proc different structures are returned as if a 64 bit process reads the same files.
In the OpenSolaris sources this can be seen in http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/fs/proc/prvnops.c#2600 (line 2600).
Unfortunately a 32 bit task cannot get all information about a 64 bit task - at least not in current Solaris version. I think this is a problem to be solved by Sun...
Martin
If anyone from Sun involved in the development of the procfs reads this: My proposal is:
/proc/xxx/psinfo32 and psinfo64 and a symlink psinfo. The symlink's destination depends on the reading processes data model....
(The same should be done with all files (lwpinfo...) in /proc).
Another idea is a special IOCTL that controls if a 32 bit task wants to access the 64 bit structures...
