[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?

[solved] Strange Audio Issue

I am experiencing a strange audio issue with my Intel-HDA ICH7:
# lspci -v
00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30a5
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
Memory at d2400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access>
when I installed Arch linux the first time a mounth ago on this computer, I had a sound problem that was solved in a very strange way.
Everything worked fine until a week or so (I believe from Alsa 1.0.12). Now sometimes sound works and sometimes it doesn't. For example sometime I boot the computer and have no sound, then I reboot it without doing anything, and then sound works.
I have tried messing with the modprobe.conf:
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.11 ---
#alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
#alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
#options snd-hda-intel model=F1734
options snd-hda-intel model=z71v
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1
but it was useless. If I put back the modules in rc.conf everything is worse: sound doesn't work at all.
A diff between lsmod in a "working boot" and a "without sound boot" showed that the same modules where in kernel memory.
A diff between dmesg showed this difference:
< hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode...
was present in the not working boot. This line is absent in a working boot dmesg.
The only way to make the sound card working everytime is to remove the snd* modules load from the boot sequence and load the modules "by hand" after the login.
Any ideas?
PS : If something is unclear due to my poor English please tell my and I'll try to explain it better.

phrakture wrote:snd-hda-intel is screwed up - on my thinkpad I had to go into the bios and enable the modem for sound to work. Oddly enough, the modem was off by default.
Also, mine has no PCM listed, I need to use "front" as my PCM level... not to mention the UI is way off with 'tpb' (if you have a thinkpad)
Yes it's not an Arch Linux related problem: I had problems with Debian (Etch and Sid based distros like ubuntu) too (but there I had no modprobe issue on the init sequence. Maybe is a problem of shared IRQs, but I have to study the existing documentation as I am a newbie). The difference is that Arch is simple enought for me to try something like modprobing "by hand" in the init sequence. PCM seems to work, however the volume is very low and I have found no way to make the mic work. Under Mepis I was able to make it work only if I plugged it in windows xp and then reboot into Linux. But I can't try it with Arch as I have erased the windows partition...
I will try the new kernel, study the documentation and then report. Hoping this will be usefull to others too.

Strange character issue in textfields

I've created a form in Livecycle Designer ES2 for a government company.
The form contains several pages with text fields, radio buttons and check boxes.
Also javascripts to enhance the form.
I've used their company font for static text and Verdana for the textfields.
My customer uses Windows XP (SP3) and Adobe Reader 10.1.x on all of their computers.
When they open the form and start typing text in the formfields something strange happens.
It looks like that if the first key they hit on the keyboard, directly after opening the form, acts strange in the entire form.
For example:
If the hit a letter "a" as the first key, after opening the form.
The letter "a" will be followed with one or several spaces through the entire form.
Also some letters shows on top of each other.
I've tested the form on several other Windows XP computers with Reader 10.1.x and the problem didn't show.
The test where made on different locations and companies.
The problem only seems to exist on all of the computers of my customer.
Is there a known problem dat looks like this?
Maybe a third application is cousing this problem, but i don't know what it can be.
Anyone seen this behaviour before??
I recently upgraded to ES4 and exported the form using ES4, but the error seems to stay.

Hi Kavipriya,

[Solved] Strange sound issue

I finally got around to trying out Arch, and I'm having a strange issue with sound. When I try to play videos off the Internet as my normal (non-root) user, the video plays, but no sound comes out of the speakers. If I log in as root and try to play the same video, the sound works perfectly. I have not experienced this on any other distros.
Since I am a strict follower of the "don't run as root" rule, I'd like to know if there are any settings/config files I can check to see what the issue may be.
Additional details:
-Using alsa, it has always worked perfectly for me in the past
-alsamixer works as root
-alsamixer as normal users says:
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
-lspci entry for my sound device:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
-I have already seen the Alsa setup page on the wiki and added the blacklist line to modprobe.conf, but there is no "external amplifier" listed in alsamixer
-alsaconf seems non-existent
-I have already tried "modprobe -rv snd-hda-intel && sleep 5 && modprobe snd-hda-intel" as root
EDIT: I have not yet tried playing any local videos or sound files, though I can try this later when I have some extra time.

I've got sound now that I am. I'm used to having the distro installer setting up my default account for me. Although I should know to check the groups, since I have had to setup custom users before ;-)

The issue appears when clicking on a menu item from the top of chrome, and if there is a list then the blue highlighting of each item as the cursor moves down only highlights every second item instead of every item as normal.
I have had this happen in the past but was unsure which package was the culprit. I don't know from the above list which package update may have been responsible, but since the same effect has been seen on 4 different machines I presume it is likely kdebase-workspace? This is with KDE as the desktop environment, and with all packages up to date. Has anyone else seen this issue and if so is there a workaround or is it a known bug. It is an odd one to google for but presumably I am not the only one who has seen this issue. The version of chrome is chrome stable google-chrome 36.0.1985.125-1
Thanks.

I have no idea what the root cause is but if you turn off compositing (Alt+Shift+F12), it'll stop. You can use the Window Rules KCM to make a rule that'll automatically stop/start compositing when Chromium is started. Sadly, this is a poor workaround as you lose all the niceties that compositing brings You can also change KWin's render mode from OpenGL to Raster but that's too intrusive for me - I'd rather just disable compositing as a whole. I'm using a laptop with an HD4000 set to use the default SNA acceleration.

[Solved]Strange piping issue..

Sometimes when I try piping commands, I simply get a "command not found" even though the commands are correct for sure.
The commands will work when I remove the space after the pipe... It's really annoying and it has happened to me on different distributions, so it's not just Arch. I managed to get a fantastic example just now and this time I thought to myself "This time, I'll HAVE to figure this out!!!"
So, see this example below. I even got an error message, which I think hasn't happened before.
~$ man bash | wc -l
4892
~$ man mplayer | wc -l
bash: wc: command not found
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 11i"; /bin/cat '/usr/share/man/man1/mplayer.1') | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc -c | /bin/less -is) exited with status 36096.
No manual entry for mplayer
~$ man mplayer |wc -l
8086
So, what's this? It isn't a simple one-time issue, if I try to repeat the command it fails every time but when I remove the space it works. I don't know if the error message is related to this issue though, because this is the first time it has shown itself, even though I've stumbled across this issue many times.

[SOLVED] Strange graphical issues in Chromium

I haven't tested this in any other browsers, so I'm not sure what the root cause of the problem is.
Symptom: http://i.imgur.com/88ek7BU.png
It only happens sometimes, but images (and sometimes links etc) are mangled like this ad. For links, it's sometimes possible to mouse over it and fix it (it gets a refresh when it has to draw the underline or something, I guess), but this ad was not fixable (not that I cared about seeing an ad, but the issue as a whole is quite irritating).
Are there plugins which improve image rendering and fix this? Is it a driver issue? What can I do and/or what info do you need from me so that this issue is resolved?
Last edited by 2mac (2014-01-06 15:17:46)

I get things like that too.
What environment are you using? (OpenBox, Kde, i3, Gnome?)
What is your video hardware / Driver. I see these on Intel Graphics.
Are you using a compositor? Which one? I seemed to see this more with xcompmgr than I do with Compton. I seem to see this more with OpenBox and less with i3
Edit: Also, have you messed with any of the rendering flags in Chromium, or are you using the default settings. Do not force hardware rendering. You might also (as an experiment) tell Chrome not to do hardware rendering.

Re: strange browser issue

so, since this isn't actually my site, and just a site i'm
trying to
view, it sounds like there's probably nothing i can do about
it.
i see that Alan suggested it may be my version of Firefox
that isn't
handling the compressed data format, but i'm having the same
problem in
IE. the only browser on my computer that i can view that site
in is Safari.
but here's a new development: it occurred to me to see if i
can visit a
different page on the site, so i open it in Safari, browsed
to a
different page and copied the address, then pasted it into
Firefox. i
can see this page just fine! but if click through the site,
it appears
as though the only pages i can see are the pages in the
alphabetical
list of artists, and then i can see the artist and song pages
if i click
on those. if i click on artists, albums, or lyrics links, i
get the same
blank page. very odd.
should i just contact the administrator for the site and tell
them about
the problem?
it's not my website, so i'm not going to worry about it
anymore. i was
just concerned that there was a problem with my computer, but
that
doesn't appear to be the case. or, if it is, nobody knows
what the
problem is! oh well. it's just one site. i'll worry about it
more if it
happens with more sites than this one.
thanks for all the input!

Hi there, thanks for your response. I'm in Firefox, but note the links I sent will work because the object/embed tag has been shrunk. If I were to modify the size to 1014x740 it wont work, the Allow button would be unclickable. Take a look here: http://tinyurl.com/2756pye I've setup a version that is broken for you to test with. Note that I've included wmode="window" and still having the same issue.

Special character issue while loading data from SAP HR through VDS

Hello,
We have a special character issue, while loading data from SAP HR to IdM, using a VDS and following the standard documentation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09fa547-f7c9-2b10-3d9e-da93fd15dca1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
French accent like (é,à,è,ù), are correctly loaded but Turkish special ones (like : Ş, İ, ł ) are transformed into u201C#u201D in Idm.
The question is : does someone know any special setting to do in the VDS or in IdM for special characters to solve this issue??
Our SAP HR version is ECC6.0 (ABA/BASIS7.0 SP21, SAP_HR6.0 SP54) and we are using a VDS 7.1 SP5 and SAP NW IdM 7.1 SP5 Patch1 on oracle 10.2.
Thanks

We are importing directly to the HR staging area, using the transactions/programs "HRLDAP_MAP", "LDAP" and "/RPLDAP_EXTRACT", then we have a job which extract data from the staging area to a CSV file.
So before the import, the character appears correctly in SAP HR, but by the time it comes through the VDS to the IDM's temporary table, it becomes "#".
Yes, our data is coming from a Unicode system.
So, could it be a java parameter to change / add in the VDS??
Regards.

Strange performance issue with 3510/3511 SAM-FS disk cache

Hi there!
I'm running a small SAM-QFS environment and have some strange performance issue on the disk storage part, which somebody here might be able to explain.
Configuration: one 3510, dual controller, RAID-5 9+1, one hot spare and one disk not configured for whatever reason. The R5 logical drive hosts a 150GB LUN for SAM-QFS metadata (mm in SAM-FS speak) and a 1TB LUN for data (mr in SAM-FS speak). Further, there are two small LUNs (2GB, 100GB) for some other purpose. Those two LUNs have nearly no I/O. All disks are SUN146G. Host connection is 2GBit, multipathing enabled and working.
Then the disk cache became too small, and the customer added a 3511 expansion unit with SUN300G disks. One logical drive is a RAID-1, 1+1, used for NetBackup catalog. The other is a RAID-5, 8+1, providing two LUNs: 260GB SAM-FS metadata (mm) and 1.999TB SAM-FS data (mr).
For SAM-FS, the LUNs form two file systems: one "residing" in the 3510, the other "residing" in the 3511 expansion. Cabling is according to the manual and checked several times by several independant people. Operating system is Solaris 10, hardware is a V880.
The problem we observe: SAM-FS I/O on LUNs on disks inside the 3510 is fine. With iostat, I see 100MB/s read and 50MB/s write at the same time. On the SAM-FS file system which is running on the two LUNs in the 3511, the limit seems to be at 40MB/s read/write. Both SAM-FS file systems are configured the same in regards of block size.
In case I have activity on both SAM-FS file systems, I see 100MB/s+ on the LUN running inside the controller shelf and another 40MB/s on the disk runnin in the 3511 expansion chassis. So, the controller is easily capable of handling 150MB/s.
Cache settings in the 3510 controller are default I think (wasn't installed by me), batteries are fine.
Is this 40MB/s we experience a limitation by the expansion shelf? Don't think so. Anybody has any ideas on this? What parameters to check or to change? Any hint appreciated. I can also provide further details if needed. Thank you.

SUN300G disks sound like 300GB FC disks.
Depending on how many files are in the SAMFS file system, sharing the mm and mr devices on the same RAID array can be a pretty horrible idea. In my opinion and experience, it's almost always better to NEVER put more than one LUN on a RAID array. Period. Putting more than one LUN on an array results in IO contention on that array. And large, unnaturally configured (9+1? Why?) RAID arrays will have problems from the start.
What are the block sizes used on the RAID arrays? It wouldn't surprise me to see that the RAID array on the expansion tray has a very large block size. Larger block sizes are, in general, not better. Especially for SAMFS metadata - which IIRC is something like 8k or 16k blocks.
I suspect what is happening is most of the metadata updates are going to the mm device on the new array, contending with the IO operations on the file data.
How much space is left on each mm device? What does "iostat -sndxz 2" show when you're having the IO problems?

Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

Strange import issue.
I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
I am stumped any ideas?

Thank you for everyone's assistance
I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

Mail on iCloud Mail creates strange character strings

Hi,
once in a while iCloud Mail creates strange character Strangs (like:
ich gr=C3=BCnes Licht geben bzw Entscheidungen =C3=BCber durchzuf=C3=BChr=
ende Arbeiten treffen.=0AKl=C3=A4rungsbed=C3=BCrftig ist noch, ob die vorl=
iegende Kostensch=C3=A4tzung ausreichend ist (--> alternative Kostenvorans=...)
Obviously when using mutatet wovels ("german umlauts")
Any explanation and suggestion to avoid it.
Work on Macbook Pro OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Thanks for support: Lutz

Hello,
Indeed but native Mail app is configured automatically when setting Mail in iCloud settings. At the end, iCloud account has a specific icon in Mail app.
Try what I described and you'll see that this iCloud account is transformed into a standard IMAP account.

Strange character at the end of some file/folder names

I'm getting a strange character at the end of some of my file and folder names. This is it:  When I enlarge it, it says "private use" on the top and bottom, "E000" on the left side, and "F8FF" on the right side. It acts like a character within the font, but I'm not sure why it's there.
In case that didn't work, I'm going to try to attach or embed a gif of the character. I'm not sure if it will work or not.
Also, some longer file names seem to be dleeting some of the letters and are inserting a pound sign and a few numbers (e.g. #34) in place of the letters.
What's going on?
As usual, thanks in advance,
Lloyd

I thought that might be it...at first. Then I found some file names that were nowhere near 32 characters long whose names were truncated.
It's not a huge problem, except in QuarkXPress when I collect the files for output and I have to reconnect to the ones whose names have been changed (to protect the innocent, I suppose).
Thanks for the input mark.
Lloyd

Strange Character in Essbase Report

I generated an Essbase report using report script. I have suppressed colum heading, page heading, zero rows and missing rows. In the generated report there is a strange character at the beginning of every 65th row (). When opened in notepad it looks like the biology female symbol. I am guessing this is some kind of a page break character. It shows up in any application I use to open the .rpt file.Is there any way to supress this character?
I will be sending the resulting report to SAP. Will this character effect the way SAP will read member names in that row?

Never mind. Foud out that SUPFEED works fine. The question about page break character affecting SAP is still open though.

[SOLVED] Strange character issue...
