You need to configure the profile manually in
/etc//etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
then create a file named
(null) 1
[connection]
id=(null) 1
type=802-11-wireless
[802-11-wireless]
ssid="SSID IN HEX"
mode=infrastructure
mac-address=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
security=802-11-wireless-security
[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt='wireless security'
auth-alg=open
psk=password
you can convert from ascii to hex using terminal
echo 'ssid' | xxd -u -p
connectioneditor in kde need more handling functions to be added . i hope in next release they build a robust connectioneditor

  • Search for users and non-ASCII characters

    I am having a little issue with the "Accounts - Find Users" functionality. The search breaks on what I assume is non-ASCII characters (we use the following three up here in Denmark: �, �, �). To be precise, I have a user with the first name "J�rgen". Searching for first names starting with "J" works just fine but "J�" returns zero matches.
    My setup is with two machines, one (A) holding the MySQL database and one (B) serving Identity Manager on top of tomcat.
    Both A and B are RHEL boxes, and both have da_DK.UTF-8 as default locale.
    MySQL's /etc/my.cnf file has the following entry (as recommended in create_waveset_tables.mysql):
    [mysqld]
    default-character-set=utf8
    default-collation=binFor clarity, some functionality works just fine in Identity Manager with these non-ASCII characters such as adding a user whose name contains non-ASCII characters (not only ��� but also � for example). At the moment, it appears to be the search functionality which is not working correctly as I would expect it to. I'm still on the fence concerning whether I've missed something in terms of configuration, or whether this is a limitation.
    Does anyone know whether this problem is on my side or the software's side?

  • Web services and High Ascii characters

    Hello Everyone
    I have a problem regarding webservices and sending high ascii
    characters.
    My little application consists of two files: one is cfm that
    makes a view and the second is cfc that might be working as the
    component or web service.
    The goal of the application is to handle text files, divide
    them according to some rules and then send back to the user.
    Sometimes the text file contains few high ascii characters.
    Everything works fine as long as the cfc is called as the
    component. Unfortunately when I call the cfc as the webservice I
    get an error:
    The web service operation caused an invocation exception.The
    root cause was that: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The char
    '0x1' in 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: and so on....
    AxisFault

    Do you know how can I solve my problem? I've tried different
    stuff with encoding but it didn't work.
    Thanks for all answers.

    Whatever Coldfusion's means of communication with the database, by default, it represents text meant for the browser in UTF-8.

  • [SOLVED] NetworkManager and UMTS/3G

    I have a problem with NetworkManager and its Applet (the GNOME one)
    In Ubuntu 10.04 it works fine with NM and in Archlinux it works flawless with wvdial but not with NetworkManager
    It just tells me that i dont have any UMTS/3G devices (which is just nonsense)
    Is that a bug in NetworkManager or am i doing something wrong?
    //Edit: Oh damm i just forget the optional dependency "modemmanager"... solved
    Last edited by Vamp898 (2010-06-14 00:43:24)

    Your edit got me one step further, now I see that device also in networkmanager here finally. Thank you!
    If someone tries to click onto "configure" for "mobile broadband" and its greyed out: Click "configure" for wired, leave that window open and just click "configure" in the main networkmanager window again. Then the network connections box from gnome 2 comes up and allows to configure 3G entries. (not a gnome bug, but a feature;)

  • [SOLVED] Finch and special characters?

    EDIT: Solved it by setting my SSH clients to send the locale at connect. Found out that locals were fine on server and on all computers but it changed local to POSIX when I ssh'd into the server. Easy fix to just set the ssh.conf to send LOCALE on connect and sshd to accept it.
    Hi everyone!
    Today I have been playing around a bit with my torrent/fileserver after I bought a new router. After I have changed some configs I can't get special characters to work in finch, like åäö.
    Finch works fine with special characters on my desktop and laptop (also running archlinux) but not on the server. I usually run a screen with Finch 24/7 on the server, wich I can ssh to, that's why I want it to work there, too .
    I have tried both en_US.utf8 and sv_SE.utf8 as locals. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? It worked before I started messing around but I can't understand what I have changed... Only thing is that I'm now using netcfg instead of setting ip in rc.conf, but it seems to be irrelevant...

    Since you're apparently using utf-8 for editing, your setting for inputenc should reflect that:
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
    I tried your sample with this and it worked here.
    EDIT: explanation: inputenc package is there to convert a (supported) outside encoding (eg. utf-8, latin1, cp1250, il2, ... many many) into the internal tex encoding, so that tex assigns appropriate glyphs to appropriate letters coming in from your file.

  • A few special ASCII characters on the Twist (é, ä, ô, etc.)

    Just discovered a nice feature of Windows 8, useful to those using special characters like é, ä, ô just every once in a while. On big keyboards I was using Alt+number pad, or the Fn+Alt+number pad on smaller laptop keyboards, but hte twist doesn't offer a number pad either via the Fn button or even on the on-screen keyboard.
    Finding the characters in charmap, then copying is a easy workaround, but I also just discovered that Microsoft seems to have integrated into Windows 8 the nice keystrokes available in previous versions of Word:
    Ctrl-' then e gives é
    Ctrl-: then a gives ä
    Ctrl-^ then o gives ô
    etc.
    It doesn't work everywhere, though. It works in Chrome's browser bar, but not in the dialog box into which I'm typing right now (I had to copy-paste to put the characters in above). Works in Wordpad, but not Notepad.
    Anyway, hope this post saves some people some time down the line.

    Hi,
    I tried everything above but to no avail. Windows firewall seemed to be allowing Firefox through without it actually being in the exception list. However, I did remove Firefox but this time removing all profile data too. Reinstalling Firefox seemed to make the websites work. However I then restored my bookmarks, and suddenly the websites stopped functioning again, displaying the random string of characters. Could this be an issue with my bookmarks?

  • [SOLVED] NetworkManager and DNS

    Hello,
    Is there any way to set and make permanent DNS adress with NetworkManager? I'd like to use OpenDNS so I edited /etc/resolv.conf and it works till next system restart. What am I supposed to do to make DNS adress permanent?:/
    EDIT: Something gone wrong.
    EDIT: Solved, it's new NetworkManager 0.7.
    Last edited by MilosC (2009-03-08 02:10:32)

    My all time favorite way to do this is to put your isp (or OpenDNS addresses, etc) into your router via it's own configuration page.  I've never had to mess around with resolv.conf, dhclient etc this way for over 5 years and let the box pick it up from your router.
    After making the change in the router, restart networking, or reboot.

  • Delete Airdisplay, iScreen, etc to solve drag and drop, white screen, etc issues

    Deleting the screensharing program (in my case iscreen, guess airdisplay, etc are the same) did solve all my issues -- as mentioned before drag and drop did not work, white screen in several programs, not menu bar in full screen, etc.
    Lion is now running smoothly - so everybody having the same issue just delete airdisplay and co :-))))))

    I would:
    a) check on the email provider's website to check if it had copied there, and deal with it. Your mention of bandwidth implies this is an IMAP-connected account.
    b) close Thunderbird, open its [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb?esab=a&s=profiles&r=1&as=s profile] and delete the offending folder there. You need to browse your profile for a while to understand its structure before doing anything rash.
    On the whole, I discourage users from dragging folders about as you have done. By all means drag the ''contents'' (better yet, use multi-select, then right-click and "copy to" or "move to") but moving ''folders'' is IMHO an undefined operation with unpredictable outcomes. I've heard of users moving a folder from one account to another and finding that it still associates with (i.e. "belongs to") the original account.

  • Final Cut Pro and Special Text Characters

    How does one add Registered Trademarks and the like in 3-D text? Please....

    There are a couple of ways:
    Go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu. Activate the check boxes for Keyboard Viewer and Character Palette. You will notice that a flag representing your keyboard layout has appeared in the menu bar.
    Keyboard Viewer: Call up KV from the flag item in the menu bar. Pressing the physical Shift, Option, Command and Ctrl keys (and combinations thereof) will change the display of the onscreen keyboard to show the locations of special characters.
    So to get ® you would press Option & R keys. option & G will give you © on a US English keyboard.
    Character Palette: You can also call this from the flag menu bar item. Make sure your cursor is in the text input field in the right position. Select Roman at the top left of CV. Select "Miscellaneous" to see ® & © amongst others. Double clicking a character in the palette places it in your text.
    Note that the characters you want to insert must be present in the typeface you chose to work with if you need to retain that style. Otherwise they will be inserted using a font that includes them.

  • How can I convert ASCII characters to ISO8859?

    Hi All,
    I have written a little application that renames a TV episode by scraping a TV listing site for the episode name. It is written in SWT and works great apart from on small problem. When getting the html back from the site, it sometimes contains special ASCII characters that are not in the ISO8859 (Windows filesystem) character set.
    For example, this is the line that I have to parse:
    <td style='padding-left: 6px;' class='b2'><a href='/Prison_Break/episodes/569183/03x01'>Orientaci��n</a></td>When viewing it in a browser, it is:
    <td style="padding-left: 6px;" class="b2"><a href="/Prison_Break/episodes/569183/03x01">Orientaci�n</a></td>Notice that the o in the title has an accent on it. While researching this problem I stumbled across 'HTML Entities to ISO 8859-1 Converter' at http://www.inweb.de/chetan/English/Resources/Java/HTML%202%20ISO.html. This open source project takes in an html entity like & and returns '&'.
    So that is not quite what I want, as my BufferedReader is converting the html entity into the ASCII representation already. I need a way of detecting a non ISO8859 character within an ASCII string, and hopefully replacing its natural 'equivalent' (would be o in this case).
    Does anyone know how I could do it without having to check for every special char and replacing (not really an option unless someone has done it before!!)
    If not that then, perhaps another way to attack the problem?
    Any help greatly appreciated ;)

    This is coded in UTF-8. If you convert the bytes to a String using the UTF-8 encoding, then you will have the correct characters "Orientaci�n" in the string.
    Check your parser where it converts the bytes (coming from e.g. an InputStream) to characters. Use UTF-8 as the charset when doing that conversion.

  • Apple, please address this issue!!! Searching and special characters

    I've found at least one other topic here regarding this issue, but Apple has yet to address it, or even confirm that it's in fact an issue.
    A big portion of my library consists of international artists, many who have special/nonstandard characters in their names (e.g. "Tiësto"). In previous versions of iTunes, I could search for "Tiesto" (note the absence of the umlaut over the 'e') and all of those tracks would appear. However, after upgrading to iTunes 9, I'm forced to search for "Tiësto" in order to view those tracks.
    Thinking about this issue, it would seem that this is normal behavior, as an artist named "Pàz" isn't necessarily the same as "Paz". But the reality is that NO ONE wants to take the time to search for the alt-code of a special character, and then type it in. Additionally, most people (including me) have a number of reasons for not renaming the artist to conform to standard characters.
    Clearly, something has changed between iTunes 8 and 9. And it's incredibly frustrating. A big chunk of my library is virtually inaccessible to me now, unless I search for terms that don't contain special characters.
    Apple, **PLEASE** address this issue. I'm not the only one with the problem and it's become a huge pain in my side to have to work around this.

    I don't see how it's sloppy or why there should be any reason that it shouldn't have given you both.
    Even putting aside that gracenote and others don't have consistent spelling in their databases, that when you download from the iTunes store, who knows what you're going to get, so that one's library could be all over the place and one might not even notice it, accents and other markings don't change the fact that a u is the same letter as ú.
    Yes, it's pronounced different. Yes, the difference is very important. But it's the same base letter. And even if it's considered a different letter in another language, in English we have 26 letters and all the accents and tildes and umlauts don't make them a new letter, which is what we're talking about here.
    It's a huge pain that looking for an album that has "Zürich" in the field and I type in "Zurich" I can't find it. I have to think about if I really do have that album, maybe I deleted it by accident, etc. And then I think to type "rich" and then it pops up.
    That's way too many steps. I don't know keyboard shortcuts and I don't want to learn them. In English, it should be letters, not characters, that count.

  • Convert smart quotes and other high ascii characters to HTML

    I'd like to set up Dreamweaver CS4 Mac to automatically convert smart quotes and other high ASCII characters (m-dashes, accent marks, etc.) pasted from MS Word into HTML code. Dreamweaver 8 used to do this by default, but I can't find a way to set up a similar auto-conversion in CS 4.  Is this possible?  If not, it really should be a preference option. I code a lot of HTML emails and it is very time consuming to convert every curly quote and dash.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    I too am having a related problem with Dreamweaver CS5 (running under Windows XP), having just upgraded from CS4 (which works fine for me) this week.
    In my case, I like to convert to typographic quotes etc. in my text editor, where I can use macros I've written to speed the conversion process. So my preferred method is to key in typographic letters & symbols by hand (using ALT + ASCII key codes typed in on the numeric keypad) in my text editor, and then I copy and paste my *plain* ASCII text (no formatting other than line feeds & carriage returns) into DW's DESIGN view. DW displays my high-ASCII characters just fine in DESIGN view, and writes the proper HTML code for the character into the source code (which is where I mostly work in DW).
    I've been doing it this way for years (first with GoLive, and then with DW CS4) and never encountered any problems until this week, when I upgraded to DW CS5.
    But the problem I'm having may be somewhat different than what others have complained of here.
    In my case, some high-ASCII (above 128) characters convert to HTML just fine, while others do not.
    E.g., en and em dashes in my cut-and-paste text show as such in DESIGN mode, and the right entries
        &ndash;
        &mdash;
    turn up in the source code. Same is true for the ampersand
        &amp;
    and the copyright symbol
        &copy;
    and for such foreign letters as the e with acute accent (ALT+0233)
        &eacute;
    What does NOT display or code correctly are the typographic quotes. E.g., when I paste in (or special paste; it doesn't seem to make any difference which I use for this) text with typographic double quotes (ALT+0147 for open quote mark and ALT+0148 for close quote mark), which should appear in source code as
        &ldquo;[...]&rdquo;
    DW strips out the ASCII encoding, displaying the inch marks in DESIGN mode, and putting this
        &quot;[...]&quot;
    in my source code.
    The typographic apostrophe (ALT+0146) is treated differently still. The text I copy & paste into DW should appear as
        [...]&rsquo;[...]
    in the source code, but instead I get the foot mark (both in DESIGN and CODE views):
    I've tried adjusting the various DW settings for "encoding"
        MODIFY > PAGE PROPERTIES > TITLE/ENCODING > Encoding:
    and for fonts
        EDIT > PREFERENCES > FONTS
    but switching from "Unicode (UTF-8)" to "Western European" hasn't solved the problem (probably because in my case many of the higher ASCII characters convert just fine). So I don't think it's the encoding scheme I use that's the problem.
    Whatever the problem is, it's caused me enough headaches and time lost troubleshooting that I'm planning to revert to CS4 as soon as I post this.

  • Cannot view OWA email - after upgrade to Firefox 5.0, Outlook Web Access displays ASCII characters (garbage) in message body. Same issue with multiple servers.

    Email body of HTML or RTF messages are rendered in ASCII characters after upgrading to Firefox 5 when viewing email in MS Outlook Web Access (OWA) light from MS Exchange 2007 servers. Issue is repeatable with two entirely different Exchange systems.
    Text email renders OK. Work around is to forward email (in use MS-IE).

    You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
    (1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
    (2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
    (3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
    (4) Add some SARE rules:
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
    70sareadult.cf
    70saregenlsubj0.cf
    70sareheader0.cf
    70sarehtml0.cf
    70sareobfu0.cf
    70sareoem.cf
    70sarespoof.cf
    70sarestocks.cf
    70sareunsub.cf
    72sare_redirectpost
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
    backhair.cf
    bogus-virus-warnings.cf
    chickenpox.cf
    weeds.cf
    Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
    Then stop and restart mail services.
    There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

  • XMLParser and Special Characters

    Hi,
    I'm trying to read in an XML Document from a stream (e.g. a file) using XMLParser. The document contains german text (i.e. lots of special characters like umlauts �, �, � and others).
    If I read this stream into a text string all these special characters are perfectly handled (i.e. � looks like an �, etc.).
    However, if I import the stream into an XMLParser.Document using ImportDocument the umlauts seem to be scrambled. If the imported document is without any changes exported again to a stream (using ExportDocument) the umlauts are not displayed correctly anymore.
    Example Stream:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
    <UserID>M�ller</UserID>
    If this stream is imported into an XMLParser.Document and then exported again it contains
    <UserID>M��ller</UserID>
    I'm using correct XML encoding iso-8859-1 which is for western european languages and I guess it should not be a Forte locale issue since simple string handling of the stream works fine.
    Thanks for any hints,
    Daniel

    Let's start at the basics. Right now you are quite limited by your database character set as US7ASCII. You need to migrate to something that will support Latin and Greek characters at least. Maybe EL8ISO8859P7, or UTF-8. Please look at documentation Scanner Utility, available for Oracle 8.1.6 and above to make sure migration is safe before doing any import/export. The title of paper is: Database Character Set Migration, at: http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle8i/listing.htm#nls
    UTF-8 will give you more versatility in the languages that your customer supports now or in the future. There is some performance overhead using Unicode but how much depends? I would base a large part of the Unicode decision on how likely it would be that other languages would need to be supported in the future and special character support.
    The special characters that your customer would like to support may already exist in Unicode. IF they don't or you choose another character set then your customer will need to look at the National Language Support Guide, Appendix 'B' "Customizing Locale Data"
    Are you running Greek windows? Otherwise how will you enter Greek characters? If you are using Greek windows you probably need to set your client NLS_LANG to EL8MSWIN1253.
    On your Forms questions you might want to take a look at the following :

  • [SOLVED] KDEmod - problem with mounting b/c of non-ASCII characters

    Hi guys!
    I finally set aside a few gigabites for Archlinux - it is no more in a virtual machine So far I managed to configure everything with the excellent wiki. It's runnin' and kickin'. I run accross only one problem:
    When I insert a CD with a label that has non-ASCII characters (some Polish ones in my case) and I click on it's icon in Konqueror I get the message that "file such-and-such doesn't exist" - and the Polish characters are clearly misspelled (it is not a fonts' problem - I double checked). I can access the folder either via console or via konqueror if I go to the /media folder, though.
