[SOLVED] Strange behaviour of audio driver

Hi,
I'm having a very strange problem with sound on my Asus laptop. It started yesterday when I rebooted the machine after five days of running. During that time I didn't upgrade any important package nor did I change any configuration (if memory serves).
So yesterday when I logged into KDE I got a message saying that audio devices were gone. When I tried mplayer to see if it's a KDE thing, it complained about non-existing sound card and it was actually true as there were no sound related files under /dev, even though all audio modules were loaded. I removed all of them and modprobed snd-hda-intel. KDE immediately detected audio devices and sound was back everywhere.
Now the funny part. I rebooted again and before logging into KDE, I checked the sound in a console, no luck. I repeated what I did previously to bring the sound back, that is rmmod&modprobe. But this time it didn't work. Then I logged into KDE and tried again, guess what, sound was back!
So what is it that KDE is doing? At the end exactly the same modules are loaded, the only difference is that hd-audio0 process is not running when the driver is loaded without KDE.
Any ideas?

Well, it doesn't. To make things worse, my sight is not good either. The devices are present in /dev and I did change configuration.
It turned out to be a permissions problem. I was doing some cleaning in /etc, getting rid of *.pacnew and *.pacsave and I apparently overwrote /etc/group so my user account lost its group assignments. The errors thrown by mplayer were a little confusing because they mentioned "no such file", while in reports from other users with similar problems I could clearly see "permission denied". Only when running mplayer with "-ao oss" it correctly reported "permission denied" on /dev/dsp.
KDE must be simply assigning permissions when it detects a new device, perhaps it has something to do with ConsoleKit. It would also explain why you have to actually be in Konsole when modprobing because it wouldn't work in a text console even with KDE running in the background.
Anyway, sorry for bothering. Have a nice day, or good night, depending on your timezone

[SOLVED] Strange behaviour of Query-by-Example (QBE) fields

Hello,
Jdev 11g TP3.
We have a QBE-Block with input fields.
Follwing steps are performed:
1) Change to find mode: #{bindings.Find.execute}
2) Enter search criteria into the fields
3) execute query: #{bindings.Execute.execute}
4) change to find mode again --> previously entered search criterias are shown --> OK
5) clear the search criteria in all fields
6) execute query again
7) PROBLEM: query is executed with the OLD search criteria again.
If we change into query mode again, the OLD search criterias are shown again
(BUT not for ALL fields).
8) Even wildcards (* or %) doesn't change the situation.
But it's possible to enter a different (but not empty) search criteria into the field.
Details:
=====
For some of the QBE-Fields the search criteria can be cleared but for some of them not.
Differences between this fields:
a) mandatory fields (also part of the key in the view model and NOT NULL in DB) --> criteria can't be cleared
b) non-mandatory fields (also not part of the view model and NULL-able in DB) --> criteria can be cleared
I tried to change one of the mandatory fields to non-mandatory and to be not part of the key in the view model but behaviour doesn't change?
Can anybody confirm this behaviour as bug or is there a mistake on my side?

SOLVED:Strange behaviour:request shows results in Answers not in dashboard

Hi all,
I've come across somethings very strange, which I know has to do with the lowest level of detail of my organisation hierarchy (and the keys used at that level), but I cant understand why its doing the following:
I have a table in a dashboard that can receive 'is prompted' filter values from a prompt on the same dashboard. When i created this request in answers, for test reasons i gave it values for a "centre" (lowest level of the organization hierarchy), and it displays resultos for my metrics.
Now I place this request on a dashboard. I have removed my manual test filters, and left the four organization columns of the request as "is prompted", the lowest of these being the centre value. Now in the dashboard, i decide to enter a value directly for the centre dropdown (same value as i previously tested) in my prompt...i get no results found!!!
The lowest level of this prompt has a key made of two atributes (center and center code), this allows me to "drill down" from the centre to the centre code, although centre code is at the same level. If i remove the drilldown capability, the problem is solved...im not quite sure why.
Message was edited by:

The problem was with the actual data. WHen analyzing the query that was being done, i realised that one of the keys (the centre name) was using a text field that has spaces after the name of the centre (god knows why), so using a trim resolved the issue.
I guess the other configuration was using the centre id which was not encountering the above problem.

[Solved]Strange behaviour of copy in File Managers (pcmanfm, nautlius)

Hi, I'm having the weirdest problem I just can't get solved:
With my default file manager (pcmanfm) I can't copy any files! Everytime I try it gives me the following error:
"Cannot copy a folder into its sub folder"
The same action from cli with cp command works without any problems.
Moving a file with pcmanfm works without any problems though.
I also tried nautilus and xfe. With thouse file managers I can copy file, but only if I copy them twice. So the first time I select a file and copy it, right click somewhere, the "paste" function is grayed out. If I copy the file again, I can paste...
Any thoughts? It's driving me crazy.
FYI: I'm running compiz standalone and installed this system just 2 days ago.
Edit: It also seems to work with pcmanfm if I copy the file TWICE.

Ok so I kept digging and trying some stuff and it seems the problem is being caused by parcellite.
If I quit parcellite copying files works again how it should.
So I guess this is a parcellite bug? The strange thing is I run parcellite also on my other boxes and never had any problems so I'm not sure where this problem suddenly comes from..

[SOLVED] Strange behaviour of XFce after pressing certain keys

I noticed that when I press 'Ctrl' and hold it for a while all my currently opened windows will close and I am no longer able to access the Applications Menu on my panel until reboot.
I also noticed, that when I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination my xfce-session is 'terminated' and I am in console environment (with a login prompt).
Now, I don't know if this type of behaviour is normal, but I do not like it at all.
I know Ctrl+Alt+Delete should lock the screen, but why I am in console then?
And why after pressing 'Ctrl' all my currently opened Windows are gone? (or at least not visible and not minimized)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
P.S. I have slim set up to auto-login my user account, but I do not think this is relevant.
EDIT: Ok, fixed - I realized that I pressed some keys when I was changing the battery on my laptop and did not lock the screen :-) [Stupid me].

[SOLVED] Strange behaviour of gnome-terminal and xterm

Hello,
I've been on Archlinux for 2 days, and I have a strange problem with gnome-terminal and xterm. When I write a too long command on a line, the text continues from the beginning of this line erasing the text, instead of going to a new line. Do you have any idea of how to fix that?
Thanks a lot!

Seems to be in a fresh install, too. I didn't change any setting of bash and no PS1.
I still can't reproduce it... I hate those errors. :-(
Edit:
Fixed by using zsh now.

[Solved] Strange behaviour when searhing files in Gnome 3.8 overview

Searching for "spot" finds the file "The Ink Spots - Maybe.mp3" but searching for "maybe" does not. Any ideas?
Last edited by discon (2013-06-13 07:51:38)

OK, I think I got it. "maybe" is a stop word and, apparently, file names are treated as *text* so "maybe" is ignored.
$ tracker-search spots
Results:
file:///home/.../The%20Ink%20Spots%20-%20Maybe.mp3
The Ink Spots - Maybe.mp3
$ tracker-search maybe
Search term 'maybe' is a stop word.
Stop words are common words which may be ignored during the indexing process.

I dont want to use JDesktop, I want to use the Swing
package, but what can I do since NB does that (the
codification) by it self?I assume your question is that you don't want to use the org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout class, but the new Java6 javax.swing.GroupLayout. To switch between the two, do the following:
1. Open the respective form.
2. In the projects pane, open the sub-items of the form class (the small "+" before the entry).
3. Click on the "Form" element (for example, if you have an "AboutDialog.java", there are the "AboutDialog" and the "Form AboutDialog" elements there.)
4. In the properties of the "Form", switch the "Layout Generation Style" to "Standard Java 6 Code".
This one had me quite a bit; I've had the converse problem, wanting to make an application compatible with Java 5. The thing is, it doesn't change anything for already-generated forms if you change this setting in the global options... and you can't change it manually, as you said, because it's in the generated code.

[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!

Strange behaviour of jdbc-mysql driver

I am trying to store japanese characters in mysql and display also after reading from the database using JSP. I am using the following code.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
....... some code ......
<%
Class.forName( "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" );
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DB?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8", "user", "pass" );
Statement st = con.createStatement();
st.executeUpdate( "insert into test values('" + request.getParameter( "imgname" ) + "')" );
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery( "select * from test" );
while( rs.next() ) {
%> DB Value: <%= rs.getString( "imgname" ) %>
<% } %>
I found one strange behaviour. I have to change the DriverManger.getConnection line to the following, to write the data correctly in the database.
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DB","user","pass")
If I read from the database using the same parameters as above, I am getting garbled data.
To retrieve the data correctly from the database I have to use the following line instead of the previous one.
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DB?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8", "user", "pass" );
In short, I have to pass different parameters to DriverManager.getConnection() for writing and reading from the database. But it is not possible practically. I am using mm.mysql-2.0.8 jdbc-mysql driver, mysql is 3.23.47 and english windows 2000.
I have tried the string.getBytes("UTF-8") and new String( getBytes(string), "UTF-8") methods, but not getting the correct data.
Can anybody guide me how can I store and display the japanese character correctly?
Thanks to all,
gaurang.

I downloaded the latese driver from sourceforge, but still the same thing is happening. Is there any other thing which I should do?
Thanks
gaurang.

[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.

The screenshots you posted match exactly to my problem ! Are you really sure the bug is coming from Kernel 3.17 ? I had this kernel running for about a week without any problems, the problems came when updating mesa.

P43-Neo Strange behaviour with LG IDE/PATA DVD Burner attached

Hello, I have spent several hours installing an OS on my new MSI P43 Neo-F v1.0 Bios v1.9:
- 1x 1000 GB SATA HDD Seagate
- 1x DVD Burner LG IDE/PATA HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-H42N Firmware RL01
- 4GB OCZ Gold
- MSI RX2600 Graphic Card
- Bequit! Power Supply 350 Watt
Trying to boot from the DVD Drive works, but either XP not Vista could make it to the setup screen.
- Vista stops after some seconds with an unexpected I/O error.
- XP Setup just crashes and dumps register values.
Boot from USB memory stick (DVD still attached but no DVD in) lets you enter the setup and select the HDD as intall target. But, if you click "next" it gives you a message that Vista could not verify if a suitable system disk is installed.
I could only solve the problem by completely disconnecting the GSA-H42N DVD Burner from the IDE/PATA connector.
I could install Vista now from USB.
After Vista was installed I reconnected the GSA-H42N DVD Burner to the IDE/PATA connector and could install software etc.
Anyone being able to comment on this very strange behaviour ?
In conjunction with other boards I did not encounter issues like this with that LG DVD Burner.
It has shown that with the MSI P43 Neo F the LG GSA-H42N is unable to boot any CD/DVD. Linux for example stops booting with image crc check error.
I have now swapped the LG GSA-H42N with an GSA-H10N from my other machine and it can boot any CD/DVD from it - everything runs fine.
The LG GSA-H42N now runs with my other machine (with an Asrock P43 DE motherboard) also without any problems it can boot any CD/DVD from it
Thank you,
CPU

Please post your Full System Specs with PSU specs amps.

You may need to install the quick launch software for the other issue.

G510 audio driver installation problem on Windows 8.1

I've just received my brand new Lenovo G510 and installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit onto it.
Most of the drivers from the attached CD installed without any problems (though I was quite surprised that no newer versions were available on the Support wrbpage) but I can't install audio driver.
Apparently this series is equipped in either Conexant or Realtek audio chips and the provided setup application is desigend to detect the correct chip and run the appropriate driver installation program.
The problem is that setup is not working for me. All I receive is the notification "This utility can not be used on this machine". Since there are no "orphan" audio devices in the Device Manager, I can't really tell which audio chipset is installed in my machine. I don't want to install both dirvers as it may just cause confilcts.
How can I say which audio chipset is installed and install the correct driver?
Solved!

hi mikolajek,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Under Device manager
You should look for your Audio
Normally it stays under Sound and gaming controller,
And if no driver is installed in shows as High Definition Audio
Right click on it and select Properties
Go to the Details TAB
change the Value to Hardware ID then check the details
ex. PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_051014E4&REV_01
Get the 4 digit after VEN and DEV
Ven is the Vendor and Devi is the Device
Go to PCI database and do a search for the VEN
Then search for the DEV and youll know that device
