[SOLVED]Incorrect character codification in openbox dialogs

I'm triyng standalone openbox, and have noticed dialogs do not show the correct character codification, showing, for example, weird characters instead of accent vowels. What should I check to solve this? Normal windows (firefox, pcmanfm... ) do show them correctly, but not their dialogs.

That was the first thing I looked up.
locale.gen has only two uncomented entries: ca_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8 and ca_ES ISO-8859-1 wich correspond to my locale; rc.conf is set to LOCALE="ca_ES.UTF-8", and keymap to KEYMAP="es" (just in case that's of any relevance).

[SOLVED] Strange character issue...

I'm using Openbox, and sometimes (often) the text will mess up and start showing random characters in place of the characters that's supposed to be there. I kill X and start it up again, and it's fixed until it happens again. It usually happens after doing some package management and other system-related things, but a couple of times it's done it during a session where I didn't do any of those things. This only happens in X/Openbox.
I figured it was a locale problem, so I checked all of my locale settings multiple times and everything appears correct. Then I figured it was maybe a key mapping problem, so I checked that KEYMAP was set to us, and it is.
I have en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 enabled, and en_US.UTF-8 is my default...I use Terminus as my font for everything. Any help with this is appreciated since I've spent two days trying to figure it out already and I just want to move on.
Here's an example...Sometimes there'll be huge characters and Japanese kanji thrown in there.

No. Xorg 1.13.04 does not work well with nvidia drivers.
This problem is dealt with in several topics:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153138
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152899
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152837
Only "solution" so far: Downgrading xorg.
1.13.03 might be enough according to user corion's post).
Alright...Thanks for the info. I guess I was completely wrong in how I was thinking of the problem. So, am I able to just downgrade the xorg-server package to solve the issue, or am I going to have to downgrade other related packages such as xorg-server-common?

Will Reinstallation and Data migration solve the Character Set Problem????

Hi to all,
We are having a problem with Arabic Data in the Oracle 9i Database, when we are adding any data using SQL * Plus and a asp.net web based application, the data is converting to ????? (Question Marks), when the database was installed on the Server with Windows 2003 OS, it was not having Arabic Support, after installation of oracle 9i it was realised, later we installed the language packs for Arabic on the Server.
So this was the reason the arabic support is not there in the database, we changed the NLS_LANG parameter of the Server's Registry entry, but this did'nt make any effect on the database, the only change we observed was that now we were able to type arabic data in the SQL * Plus on the Server machine. But after saving the record when we retrieve the data is coming as ?????? , so we tried to insert the data using a client which is having the Arabic Support and we inserted a row using the SQL * Plus with arabic data in the insert statement, after inserting when we retrieve the data. The data was visible without any problem.
So What is the problem is the database storing the arabic data correctly or not ???, we think there is problem with the Server's Oracle Configuartion, is there any other way we can get the server working with arabic data or a Reinstall of the Oracle Data will solve the Problem.
Or we can do something on the server machine so that we dont need the Resinstallation.
If we have to Reinstall the Server what are the best practices and steps we should follow so that we have a seamless migration between the old and the new oracle database.
Thanks and Regards

With NLS_LANG on the client and NLS_CHARACTERSET in the database equal AR8MSWIN1256, you should be able to support Arabic data without problems. If you have problems, it usually means a configuration issue on the client, for example, NLS_LANG not set for the right Oracle Home, or lack of Arabic support in a particular tool.
You need to add Arabic message files to the database Oracle Home (i.e. Arabic should be selected in the Product Languages dialog box in the Installer) only if you care about the language of error messages returned from the database to clients. If you do not display these ORA-xxxx error messages to end users, it should be OK to leave them in English. Also, if you want Arabic error messages, month names, and weekday names, you should change AMERICAN to ARABIC in NLS_LANG.

How to Solve Morgan Multimedia Codec trial offer dialog box in PSE 6.0?

In the Organizer view of PhotoShop Elements 6.0, all my video links are marked with a broken video film clip image. When I click on the link, the video does not appear; instead, i see a popup dialog box that says "The trial period has expired! You can buy the codec online at: www.morgan-multimedia.com".
Why do i have to buy a codec? When i first bought PSE 6.0, videos used to work fine. I'm an infrequent user of the software, and have ignored this issue so far. Is Morgan Multimedia working with Adobe? I'd like to solve this -- thanks for your help.
Bob

Well, there might be more answers in the Photoshop Elements forum, but first some background on CODEC's. This ARTICLE will give you the basics.
Adobe, and a lot of other software companies, offer trials of various 3rd party products, which will work within them. Pinnacle is probably the best (or worst, depending on one's perspective), in that most of the Transitions and Effects are trial only. To use them without a watermark, one must buy the packs. Adobe does similar with PrPro, where one gets 3 trial uses of the Minnetonka SurCode plug-in to Export DD 5.1 SS Audio. After that, one can buy the plug-in from within PrPro, and get a US$50 discount over the SurCode Web site.
On many Adobe programs' installation discs, there are 3rd part trials. Some can be bought with an "Adobe user discount," and some are for the same prices as on the mfgr's Web site. It is common practice.
Good luck,
Hunt

Fixing or reporting incorrect character glyphs?

On my Macbook Pro (up to date according to Software Update), I've found a number of UTF-8 character codes that display as the wrong glyph with some software (but usually other software gets it right). I've tried to find a way of either submitting a bug report to get it fixed, or maybe fixing it myself, but I've been unable to find any information about how to do this. Is it possible? If so, how?
An example from this morning: I found that the char U+FA1B (福, which displays incorrectly in this window) is displayed as the glyph for U+798F (福, which is probably correct if you have Unihan charsets installed). These are a traditional/simplified pair ("blessing, happiness") that differ in the left "radical" portion. What's especially weird is that for some apps, if I copy the FA1B char, it gets translated to 798F. Others, such as my Terminal to the right of this one, display the 798F glyph for both, though if I cut out a line of text and feed it to "od -x", I do see the correct hex bytes for both chars (3E5BE7, A68FEF).
One bit of bizarreness: If I look these chars up in Character Palette, the "Character Info" panel displays them both correctly. But if I open the Font Variation panel, both characters includes a few fonts that show the wrong glyph. Thus, for FA1B, there are 13 fonts shown, 12 correct, and one (Arial) showing the 798F glyph. For 798F, there are 27 fonts shown, of which 3 (PCMyungjo, AppleGothic, Arial) are the FA1B glyph, and the other 24 are correct.
Does anyone know what might be going on here? Is this the wrong forum to find an answer? If so, is there some place I can ask about it where people will be interested in helping get it fixed? If so, how could I have found it without bothering this group?
(Out of curiosity, I pulled out my G1 phone, fired up its browser, and had it show a doc that contains these two characters. It displayed them fine, as it has with earlier example like this. ;-)

The glyph which is displayed at any particular time depends on the font which is being used by the app or OS, which could depend on a variety of factors. The "Arial" that you mention is Arial Unicode, which is ancient and not something anyone should use for Han unless there were no alternative. You could complain to Microsoft, but I don't think anybody is ever going to fix any bugs that font has. PCMyungjo and Apple Gothic are older Apple fonts intended only for Korean, not Chinese or Japanese. You could send feedback to Apple about them, but as the use of Han characters in Korean is now extremely limited I doubt fixing the font would have much priority, assuming that they are in fact wrong for that language.
I guess if you removed those fonts there is no chance any app could use the wrong glyphs. You might want to at least make sure that Korean is listed below Chinese and Japanese in system prefs/language & text/language. That should ensure the right glyphs appear in normal Han contexts (assuming Arial Unicode is never used, which hopefully is the case).

Incorrect Character Print out

I have through eprint to print out Chinese character on the Tiltle and content, but the print out was dispalyed some of unexpected symbols. And after I logon to eprint website, the Chinese character title can be display correctly, Could you help me to solve it? Thanks
Printer MODEL:MFP1536-DNF

Hi,
Most likely due to fonts. Your machine may have those fonts therefore you can see properly BUT the ePrint may not. My suggestion: change to another font and try again.

Incorrect Character Tag in Quick Access Bar

FrameMaker 7.2 (unstructured)
Our writers in China have a document that uses the Body Paragraph Tag (this tag uses Times New Roman as its Character Tag). If the writers add new text within this paragraph, the character tag box in the Quick Access Bar displays Chinese characters rather than Times New Roman.
Any ideas ?

Actually, we solved the issue.
By default, the Chinese writers "Text Services and Input Languages" setting in Microsoft XP was set to CH (Chinese). Therefore, any time they went to add text to a FrameMaker document created in the U.S., Chinese characters would appear (and a default Chinese character tag would be used).
By adding the EN (English) service to the Text Services and Input Languages setting in Microsoft XP, and then selecting EN as language of choice when editing U.S. created FrameMaker documents, the problem is solved.

[SOLVED]Shutting down in Arch (Openbox + Fluxbox)

The other OPs thread got solved....but my issue didn't. So here it is again.
I have openbox and fluxbox installed on Arch:
1) Openbox stops responding on clicking either Reboot or Shutdown from the menu. Only option kill X.
2) Fluxbox doesnt have a care in the world...it keeps working...menus and all
Debian has Fluxbox installed...and shutdown and reboot work as they should.
My sudoers file has this
inxsible ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
My menu file in openbox has
sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now
for the Reboot and
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
for the Shutdown.
I think this is specific to Arch because the same thing works well in my Debian install.
I do have acpid installed...so all is not lost. Its just that it pisses me off that this doesn't work for me when it does for everyone else.

Ok I feel like a f*ing idiot now !!!
I checked my sudoers again and the problem was this. After I enabled my user name to have NOPASSWD to /sbin/shutdown, I had another line in sudoers down below which was
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
That was negating the statement above. But I am still surprised how it worked 3 times before deciding not to.
Anyway, I have now removed the username line and simply uncommented this one
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Now I dont need to worry about entering a password anywhere

[SOLVED]Incorrect UUIDs

I promise this isn't just another duplicate post like so many others from people who just start blindly posting when they have a problem. It's really not. I've searched thoroughly, and even found something of a solution to my original problem here on this very forum. Just give me a chance.
Anyway, I'll get to the point. After taking a break from Arch to experiment with Slackware, I decided that--while I did enjoy Slack--I missed Arch too much and wanted to return. Since it's been awhile I see some things have changed. The installation process seems mostly the same as when I had stopped, but it doesn't want to go as smoothly as it used to for me. I, like many others, have recently come across this error after what I thought was a successful install:
Booting 'Arch GNU/Linux, with Linux core repo kernel'
error: no such device: ad4103fa-d940-47ca-8506-301d8071d467.
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
error: file '/boot/vmlinuz-linux' not found.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.
Press any key to continue...
Now wait! Don't start getting frustrated and tell me to use the Search function or otherwise label me as a leecher, noob, or idiot. I promise you, I did use the Search function. Quite a bit. I arrived at this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157195, which helped me to achieve a semi-fix. I did as the link suggested, and when I rebooted, GRUB loads, and I saw three entries for Arch instead of the original two that are there by default with GRUB. Both of these had the random non-existent UUID posted above. The third entry, on the bottom, was simply labeled: Arch Linux. I checked my grub.cfg; indeed the UUID matches the one in my /etc/fstab. This one get's me into my installed system successfully, however, it does so without displaying any of those pretty Arch startup messages whatsoever. Just blank, then I'm at a login prompt. Weird. Another thing I noticed is that there's no Windows entry, however, there is an entry for it when I look at the actual grub.cfg. One other odd thing is that UUID in the above error is the exact same as the one mentioned in the solved thread I visited.
Now that I've given that background here's some info. Much like the link I posted above I have a dual-boot, installed Arch from USB. Partitioning scheme is as follows:
/dev/sda1 - Windows boot
/dev/sda2 - Windows
/dev/sda3 - Shared NTFS part visible in both windows and *nix
/dev/sda5 - logical /
/dev/sda6 - logical /boot

All the UUIDs seem to match the one in /etc/fstab. For some reason when I boot up it doesn't show any startup messages, as well, I get these errors:

There error also displays EXT4-fs (sda4): unable to read superblock, three times but with different numbers in front of them. This obviously has a lot to do with why GRUB isn't detecting Windows.
I really don't understand why the command:
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
Seems to want to create this UUID: ad4103fa-d940-47ca-8506-301d8071d467
Because that's the UUID it puts in my /etc/fstab and that is the same exact one the other user was given in the link I provided. Is this some sort of bug? Generating fstab has always gone without a hitch before I left for Slackware. So, to summarize as to make the post less confusing:
Issues:
- genfstab /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab generates wrong UUIDs and I have to restart and implement the solution in the link provided.
- Aforementioned solution somewhat works, it boots me into my system but I see no startup messages(I like those startup messages), and there is obviously something wrong if this is happening anyway.
- GRUB refuses to detect Windows despite what is in grub.cfg, and os-prober and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg spits out errors.
Thanks very much.

Thanks for the tip with the english output, didn't know that.
I hadn't searched that problem as my boot process works, lowering the severity-level of this particular error to 'interesting'.
In english the message says

Now I had time to mess around with the grub files, here's what's going wrong:
Syntax error at line 166
Line 166 happens to be the last line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new.
If I remove the 40_memtest file from /etc/grub.d/, the resulting grub.cfg.new is shorter and the error message is just

Such last line errors normally hint to a missing semicolon or unclosed brackets, something like that.
That's what happens here too.

At the bottom, the submenu entry? This bracket never gets closed.
The reason for this lies in /etc/grub.d/10_linux line 274 ff:
echo "submenu '$(gettext_printf "Advanced options for %s" "${OS}" | grub_quote)' \$menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-$boot_device_id' {"

# add a closing '}' for the submenu command.
if ! test -e "/etc/arch-release" ; then
if [ x"$is_top_level" != xtrue ]; then
echo '}'
fi
fi
The first line in this excerpt opens the bracket, the two if clauses at the bottom should close it but they don't.
At leas the first clause returns false.
After just commenting out line 274, thus never opening the submenu entry, the error mesage is gone
LC_ALL=C sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
No volume groups found
done
So, large text, small insight;
the problem isn't the submenu or the 10_Linux script itself but rather that
if ! test -e "/etc/arch-release" ;
isn't true.
That's because the file is there, it's empty (0B) but it should contain something or not be there at all. It being there but empty borks the whole thing
Removing it (= renaming it to "arch-release~") solves the issue kind of.
It changes the appearance of the grub menu quite heavily (only Arch and Advanced are there, the 2 core repo kernel entries not) but the boot process still works.

[SOLVED] Incorrect / Ugly Fonts in Epiphany Web Browser

Hello everyone. I've done a ton of a searching (here and google) on this subject to no avail. It seems fonts on Facebook / Tumblr as well as some other sites have very incorrectly rendered fonts.
I am currently using the freetype2-ubuntu patch and I have the ttf-win8 fonts installed as well. I also have the google fonts package installed.
Here are some screenshots of what I am seeing.

Any input on this? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello everyone. I solved the issue myself.
It turns out that installing infinality from AUR was NOT a good idea. After doing a proper install using the pacman key and adding it to pacman.conf I now have beautiful fonts. Thanks for the responses!

[SOLVED] Keyboard volume control in Openbox

Hi guys, I have been trying to get my keyboard keys control the volume in openbox. I have pnmixer installed, systray applet shows on tint2 and I also have xfce4-volumed installed from the AUR. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks keyboard control works now.
Now, how to get a notification on volume change+-/mute?
You're welcome. Glad you worked it out. Don't forget to mark your post as solved. As to the other question I am unsure. I do not use this feature. If it is something that is handled by xfce4-volumed I would think maybe installing "xfce4-notifyd" or similar may work but I don't know (assuming you're talking about some kind of osd style thing where bubbles come up on the desktop and show you stuff). Other than that no clue on my end.

[SOLVED] Automatic login to TTY1, openbox error

SOLUTION at the last post.
Hello,
I was trying to create the systemd autologin.service, to log into TTY1 right after boot.
I have been following the instructions on the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … al_console
PROBLEM: after boot, the login happens a few times with an error, flashing, and then dissapears leaving with a basic underscore " _ ". I can still use TTY2.
If I go back to TT1, I see the following error multiple times, (maybe its a loop):
Last login: today, etc TTY1
Openbox-Message: Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable.
Which is weird because I don't have openbox set to autostart or anything, I think. (.xinitrc is basic as well; .dmrc has kde-plasma set.)

For some reason I can't disable "autologin@tty1".
Yes, this is a vanilla arch (customised by myself).
This is what I have done:
cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
-Edited the file: /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
the line: ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear %I 38400 linux
to be like this: ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear -a ubunchu %I 38400
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl disable getty@tty1
sudo systemctl enable autologin@tty1
sudo systemctl start autologin@tty1
sudo systemctl enable multi-user.target
-now tried disabling:
sudo systemctl disable getty@tty1 (again)
sudo systemctl disable autologin@tty
sudo systemctl disable autologin@tty1
sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
-no output, looks like it does not disable it

[SOLVED] Incorrect time displayed in my system

Hey Archers,
I have trouble correct time being displayed in my system.
My BIOS time is:
May 18 2012 08:39:21 PM IST
Date command displays
Sat May 19 02:09:59 IST 2012
Clearly the time displayed by date command is localtime+05:30 (Asia/Kolkata), when I expect it to be just localtime.
How do I correct this?
I dont dual boot and have just Arch installed on my machine.
And my /etc/rc.conf has this:
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Asia/Kolkata"
Please correct if my understanding is wrong, but is this how it works?
When I say HARDWARECLOCK=UTC and TIMEZONE=''Asia/Kolkata",
It assumes, hardwareclock, time displayed by BIOS, is infact UTC, and, since the user is interested in timezone, +0530, it adds 0530 to hardware clock.
Thanks,
Nachiket.

Hey Tectu,
The wiki article on Time was indeed splendid. It had all the information I needed. Thank you.
Trilby,
You were right, my hardware clock was on local time.
So this is what I did to set it correct.
1. Set the HARDWARECLOCK to "localtime" in /etc/rc.conf
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Asia/Kolkata"
2. Reboot the system
3. Set the systemclock to UTC by doing a -0530 (minus 05 hours 30 minutes)
# date `date -d "-05 hours -30 mins" +%m%d%H%M%Y`
4. Copy the system clock value to hardware clock
# hwclock --systohc
5. Edit the /etc/rc.conf to set HARDWARECLOCK back to UTC
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="Asia/Kolkata"
6. Reboot the system.
And yes, now my system clock displays correct time
Just setting HARDWARECLOCK to "localtime" also worked. But since I the beginners guide recomments "UTC" I did all this.
Marking the thread as SOLVED.
Regards,
Nachiket.

Android Firefox display incorrect character.

Is Firefox not support correct UTF8?
I try to play with it already.
I found: Settings->Display->Character Encoding = Show menu
Then I go to Character Encoding (appear after finish above setting)
It says Unicode UTF-8 but I think it's not
Because it show general square character in all page of Thai language website (with UTF8 work on PC)
including 'google' result.
I also try beta because I found someone says beta is work with my language. But it seems it's already changed now because it's all square when I try it.
Is some range of character in UTF8 is missing? or am I must setting something else?

hello Ryuu, which phone model do you have? i think that may be a general issue on the level of the operating system when a thai font-set isn't included on your device.
also see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=896809 bug #896809].

Directive #Import : Incorrect character in the tooltip?

Hi,
I inserted the directive #Import, and
I had tooltip before compiled. The message have unusual path to file. More precisely, instead the character"\" the message have the character "/" (see image). Question: its correct or Microsoft have petty
