[Solved] XFCE4 - enable keyboard third level

Hi. I'm having problems using my keyboard's third level characters.
The graphical tool doesn't have this configuration (gnome does).
I tried editing my ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<channel name="keyboard-layout" version="1.0">
<property name="Default" type="empty">
<property name="XkbDisable" type="bool" value="false"/>
<property name="XkbModel" type="string" value="latitude"/>
<property name="XkbLayout" type="string" value="us"/>
<property name="XkbVariant" type="string" value="dvp"/>
<property name="XkbOption" type="string" value="lv3:ralt_switch"/>
</property>
</channel>
but no luck.
What else can i do?

I googled for a solution to this issue again (after using gnome for a year). This thread was the first result, but the solution given (with HAL) is no longer valid (HAL is no longer installed as of xorg-server v.1.8). So, after finding a suitable solution i thought i should post an update.
$ sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option "XkbVariant" "dvp"
        Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection
I can confirm that this is a good working solution for third level keys.
Using an Acer Aspire 7250 here, with Norwegian keyboard.
Pressing right alt now allows me to use third levels symbols on keys.
(the laptop came with Windows 7 originally, and third level symbols could originally be used with ctrl + alt + key).
If someone knows how to change this:
lv3:ralt_switch
into a code that allows me to use ctrl + alt again, please let me know

  • HP 8500 won't give the option to perform a third level print head cleaning

    I'm not sure why I care since every time I clean the heads the printer is actually worse but the printer never gives me the option to go to level three cleaning.
    The steps
    * Go to clean print head option in the menu
    * Printer goes through cleaning process possibly being momentarily interuppted by the check device process
    * printer goes to aligning printer because no matter what is printed it always goes to aligning printer afterward 
    * printer fails align and I hit ok
    * printer allows the me to start the second level of cleaning and I start it
    * repeat from 2nd step
    I'm never given the option to go to the third level.
    I have a nice 20 minute video of this. and that's only one cycle....
    This happened before and after I updated to the latest firmware.
    In regards to my first statement.  I started cleaning the print heads because the magenta stopped printing and after cleaning heads several times no colors or black print anymore.  I few days later somehow the printer started prininting again very poor quality and again no magenta so again cleaning the heads caused it to stop printing at all.

    Hey @Taylor2813,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're experiencing print quality issues with your HP Officejet 8500 All-in-One. I would like to work with you today. I did want you to be aware that it is generally not a good idea to run many cleans on your product. Level 1 and Level 2 just run a similar cleaning process. If you want to run a third level cleaning you could manually go into the menu on the printer and simply run another clean. Because the cleaning process uses ink to flush the ink system on your product, should you need to run a third clean on the product be aware that it will be just using a lot of ink for the process. Generally the rule of thumb is: should the first clean and second clean not make a difference don't continue as it will just waste ink.
    Because the cleans you have been running up to this point have made no difference and actually caused your issue to become worse, I do believe that your issue actually lies with your printheads. You have two printheads in your printer. One is the Black and Yellow and the other is the Cyan and Magenta. They control the ink going on your paper. If the Printheads are defective you will experience print quality issues. If the issue just affects Magenta than you may just have a defective Magenta printhead (should a new Magenta cartridge not resolve your issue). However, if the issue affects all colours and black than it would be a defect with both printheads.
    For your reference I will include the Print Quality Troubleshooting document for both versions of the Officejet 8500 series:
    HP Officejet Pro 8500A A910a: Fixing Print Quality Issues
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a: Fixing Print Quality Issues
    In both of those documents you can see that should the cleaning not resolve the issue after 3 attempts than it is time to replace one or both printheads.
    Should you want to look into ordering printheads I suggested calling our Technical Support.

  • No third level chooser

    Hi
    I've just bought a second hand Mac Mini G4 and I'm using a standard USB Logitech mouse and keyboard (no cordless or other special features). I have reinstalled it and instaled all updates. But I have no third level chooser, meaning I can't write @, pipe and etc. Other special danish characters such as æ,ø and å works fine, but just no third levels. I'm a Mac Newbie (used to Linux), so i dont know if it's something obvious I'm missing. But i'm starting to get tired of copy/paste @.
    I tried setting the keyboard as ISO or ANSI, it doesn't matter.
    BTW a second thing i'm curious about. Is there a .conf file for NIC-settings?
    Best Regards
    /Lars
    Mac Mini G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Well the "keyboard" viewer showed where the @ is and etc. It's not a fix, but a workaround so i can write those character. I'll still be searching for a better solution and will post it if i find it. But thank you for your help...
    Regarding Mac Software from Logitech.
    I got a UltraX keyboard with no Logitech software.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/GB/EN,CRID=1797,contentid=8 054
    Do NOT try to install other Logitech software for testing. I did that and i couldn't click with my mouse and the keybord hardly reacted on my input, so it was useless. So i had to reinstall, you've live and learn.

  • How to create second or third level  of  menu bar in se41 ?

    Hi All
      How to create second or third level  of  menu bar in se41 ?
      I created it once but forgotten , do anybody remember ?
    Regards
    Jaman

    Hi..,
    Once you have created a menu bar, you enter the individual menu entries. Each menu can contain up to 15 entries.
    A menu can contain any of the following:
    Function names (with function code and text)
    Submenus (pull-down menus)
    Separators
    You may include submenus up to three levels deep.
    Menu functions that logically belong together are grouped together using separators. This makes the menu easier to use. Separators also make long menus easier to read by dividing them into smaller parts.
    Defining Menu Functions
    To add functions to a menu that is already open in the Menu Painter:
    Open a menu list in the menu bar by double-clicking the menu title.
    The system opens the menu. The menu entries list contains the two columns Code and Text.
    In the Code column, enter a function code (this may be up to 20 characters long).
    If you want to enter a function code that is longer than the input field, you must first change the displayed length of the field in the user settings. (Choose Utilities ® Settings ® User-specific.)
    Enter the function text in the Text column.
    The name you enter here appears in the menu at runtime. You can also determine the contents of function texts at runtime (see Defining Dynamic Function Texts).
    Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each item in the menu.
    Creating Cascading Menus
    To add a cascading menu (sub-menu) to a menu:
    Leave the Code column blank.
    Enter a menu name in the Text column.
    Double-click the cascading menu to open it.
    The system opens the menu entry list for the cascading menu.
    Complete the menu as you would any other.
    Inserting Separators
    Place the cursor on a line.
    Choose Edit ® Insert ® Separator.
    If you want to insert a separator between two existing menu entries, place the cursor on the line before which you want to insert the separator.
    Editing Menu Entries
    You can cut, copy, paste, and delete menu entries.
    Place the cursor on a line.
    Choose Edit ® Entry ® Cut (or Copy, or Paste, or Delete).
    If you double-click a function code, the Function Attributes dialog box appears. Here you can, for example, change the icon assigned to a function.

  • Wireless Keyboard Battery Level Not Changing?

    Hi,
    I have got a new iMAC machine 21.5" , almost 6 weeks since. I am a regular user. The machine has Mountain Lion OS 10.8.2.
    In System Preferences, I can see the Battery level for Blue tooth mouse dropping to 57%, but the keyboard has been showing 100% all the time.
    Looks like this is a bug. How do i check the Keyboard Batter Level.
    Regards,
    Vinay

    I bought an 21.5" iMac eight months ago and I did note that the battery level wasn't changing for my Wireless Keyboard as my Magic Trackpad slowly used its batteries up. That being said I changed the batteries in the Keyboard when the Magic Trackpad died assuming the Keyboard was soon to follow and now the battery level is reported accurately. In conclusion I believe that the Energizer Advance batteries that are shipped with the Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad had a lot more to do with the problem then the OS. I don't know why only the Keyboard was affected but I do know that now I am using regular Energizer batteries and all is normal as far as usage levels. Hope that helps.

  • Adding third level to my menu

    I have a menu that I am working on:
    http://www.newbuild.twsco-specgas.com/index.html
    It was a mega menu (Modified jQuery Superfish) that someone helped me build for an intranet application. I am copying and carrying over to this new website, while giving it a major overhaul (simplication).
    My conundrum is how to add a third level. It seem like html code and subsequent css styling but it has me stumped. Can someone look at the "About TWSCO" drop down and see if they can discern what my failure is?

    thank you

    Hi Charles,
    If you select the text of the TOC level you're trying to edit, go to the Text Inspector, click on "Tabs," and then go down to "Tab Stops" and select the number that's within the box, the option should no longer be greyed out.
    Hope that helps! Let me know if it doesn't.

  • Implementing tree control in third level navigation

    Hello
    1. Is it possible to Implement a tree control inside third level navigation ?
    2. How can I make selecting one of the nodes change the display in another iview on the same page ?
    (How do they pass data to one another)
    3. Is it possible to select several nodes at once ?
    P.S
    Is there a how to guid out there ?
    Thanks
    Ziv.

    Hi,
    I undestand you want to hide/show tree nodes on demand.
    in the standard DTN (detailed navigation) it isn't possible.
    There are two options -
    1. As suggested you can modify the DTN provided by SAP - all the code is under com.sap.portal.navigation.detailedtree.par and the iView name is also com.sap.portal.detailedNavigationTree
    2. create this tree from scratch, and put it on the left side instead of the DTN or as a dynamic navigation iView.
    For creating navigation iViews by yourself, you can start from here:

  • Enable keyboard navigation - mini player

    it seem that the enable keyboard navigation in the preferences can never be unchecked. i'm tired to seeing the title of the song while using the mini player. i've unchecked the box and it goes back to being checked each time i use the mini player. any fixes to this?
    i am running windows 7 and have updated to itunes 12.0.26

    It is pretty unintuitive. I was in seeing a Genius about several issues today. Previously AppleCare had told me that this was NOT a known issue and that they couldn't replicated it on their mac. The Genius figured out pretty quickly that the issue seems to be only when iTunes is in full screen mode. If you take it out of full screen the player worked fine both on my machine and on theirs. They should fix that, of course. It shouldn't make any difference what mode you're in.
    Thanks for the response. Hope this make some sense of it.

  • Third level Drill Down report

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create the report using Crystal Reports 2008 up to 3 levels of drill-down. I tried to create it but I can create up to only 2nd level of drill-down.
    Is it possible to create 3rd level of drill-down. If yes, please let me know how to create it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neo,
    I use on-demand sub-reports.
    Example:
    If main report is for Customer summary which shows the amount received from customer.
    Then for 2nd level of drill-down I will insert an on-demand sub-report. This sub-report will show the sales order numbers for that particular customer.
    Now for third level of drill-down, I want show the details of sales orders (i.e., all the sales order lines of that particular sales order). So I am trying to insert a sub-report in existing sub-report, but here the sub-report option in the menu is already disabled.

  • Keyboard & Battery levels query (2 week old 27" iMac)

    Hi,
    Keyboard battery level stuck at 100% then suddenly dropped to 67%. Turned keyboard off then on and since then the level has been stuck on 100%.
    Mouse battery level indication OK as it ticks down nicely. I've been using rechargeable batteries and they are lasting better than the Apple supplied Energiser batteries despite being old and useless when used in torches / GPS etc.
    This issue is not important as I have a plentiful supply of batteries - Just interested. Thanks.

    HI,
    Rechargeable batteries are definitely the way to go!
    Try resetting the PRAM to see if makes a difference in the battery levels.

  • UltraNav enabled keyboards spare parts in Australia - please reconsider

    I recently took delivery of an x61s, complete with ultranav keyboard (fantastic idea).  However, a user is not able to type on the notebook keypad when the computer is docked (not so flash!) so a keyboard is a requirement.....
    The ultranav availability on the keyboard is an important user requirement to make this situation manageable, particularly if a user is not required to change their work style to an external mouse arrangement when docked...... not something I have done for 10+ years.
    The problem:  The notebook came with an ultranav enabled keyboard (that  unfortunately broke within 10 days of delivery - user error!!) but when a replacement was sought they were not being imported to Australia anymore. This situation made the the docking station (and DVD/CD/RW) redundant due to my dependence on the ultranav device.   
    They are available in many other countries, but not Australia.   Do the spare parts teams not talk to the product / design teams?  The x61s system configuration (particularly docking stn & CD R/W) require a keyboard.......and surely Lenovo would want to promote the continued use of the efficient ultranav 'mouse' system. 
    If you want to continue to promote the ultanav devices, please continue to import the ultanav keyboard, like so many other countries seem to be doing.....
