Starting HAL causes multiple keypresses

Whenever I start HAL either from an already running system or at boot it causes every keyboard press to register multiple times. I think it might be related to hotplugging and possibly since I have the keyboard and such configured manually through xorg.conf
Here is an example of me typing abc: aaabbbccc

Hi bostonvaulter,
There is something in the wiki related to that problem. It might be the solution you are looking for.
Ciao.

Multiple KeyPress - Ctrl + A to start an event

Hi All,
PL HELP....
The application require multiple keypress to trigger an
event, for example, press CTRL + A to go to other frame.
I have used the following function, It does not work out.
_root.onEnterFrame=function()
someListener = new Object();
someListener.onKeyDown = function () {
if (Key.isDown(65) and Key.isDown(66)) {
gotoAndPlay("v1");
Key.addListener(someListener);
Thanks in advance
Sonum

ok the issue here seems to be that this is within an
onEnterFrame event - this is not needed, it's continually tell the
timeline to play the label over and over - as a result, does
nothing.

[SOLVED]HAL and multiple mount attempts

Recently I managed to break my HD and so had to reinstall everything. Everything is working about the way they used to BUT:
Everytime I put CD or DVD into my DVD-drive or try to use USB-stick HAL for some reason tries to mount the media 3 times. Discs give two error messages for mount point being allready in use but otherwise work fine, USB-sticks doesn't give any errors but open three filemanager windows. Problem is mainly cosmetic because everything works, it's just annoying...
Anybody have a clue what I might have done wrong?

Seems like it wasn't HAL problem after all. I had turned on automounting from XFCE settings and that was causing multiple attempts. I unchecked everything from XFCE automount options and now it's working as it should.

Ram Preview won't start when Render multiple frames simultaneously enabled

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with rendering AE CC , with my new PC computer in Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit
As the title says , my issue is Ram Preview won't start when Render multiple frames simultaneously enabled. Actually it starts after 8 -30 seconds depending of project complexity and the rendering is slower and skipping frames !
12 cores with 2 GB ram each.
When I disable the option of multiple frames simultaneously render starts ok.
but it's really very sad that I can't use this beast of CPU in full potential. its an new intel i7 5930K , 32 Ram DDR4 2.4 Ghz
Any advice and options would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vonzar.
Setup:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
CPU : Intel Core i7 5930K 3.5 GHz Six Core Socket 2011-3 140W Box
GPU : nVidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB DDR5 PCI-E
RAM : 32GB DDR4 Non ECC CL16 2400MHz Crucial Ballistix Sport
Mother board : Asrock x99 extreme 6

If you have any render or preview problems just turn off MP because, first, it only works with certain specific effects and codecs, and 2, it causes more problems that it solves most of the time. I only turn on MP rendering when I know for sure that it will speed up my workflow.
You should have a multiple of 4 GB assigned to AE and Other apps and an even number of cores. If you are using MP rendering make sure that the number of actual cores used makes sense and that there are an even number of cores assigned to other applications. Most important of all, don't spend hours trying to tweak MP rendering to save a few seconds in a render. Follow these general guidelines and then run a short test to see if it works. If you project involves any temporal effects at all turn it off.
Here is an example of the MP settings for a 4 year old Mac Mini that actually work for some projects, but most of the time it is turned off.
I should say that I can allocate 3 GB of ram per background CPU and still see 2 as the actual CPU's that will be used but this little Mac Mini works better with 2 selected. Setting the RAM allocation to 4 GB drops Actual CPU's to 0
BTW, I use the mac mini to record most of my tutorials because I figure that if I do a tutorial that will run OK on a Mac Mini, then anyone with an adequate system should be able to follow along without any problems.

Multiple Keypresses in FL 1.1

Hi guys,
How do you capture simultaneous multiple keypresses in FL
1.1? I used a key catcher (button) to catch all events like:
quote:
on(keyPress "1"){call("moveUp1")}
on(keyPress "7"){call("moveDown1")}
on(keyPress "3"){call("moveUp2")}
on(keyPress "9"){call("moveDown2")}
There are 2 objects on the stage and I want them to move up
and down independently. In most cases, users get to press 2 keys at
the same time. When this happens, the object stops moving.
Please help! Thanks!
Jon

I think Flash Lite only responds to 1 key press, and ignores
any subsequent key press, until the user releases the first
key.

Starting HAL crashes whole system

Hi,
I have encountered a serious issue with HAL.
If I try to start HAL, either by issuing the command "/etc/rc.d/hal start" or appending "hal" to the "DAEMONS" array in /etc/rc.conf, my machine eventually stops responding (after about 1 min).
But worse, when I leave it running and try to run some commands in another console, I get errors from the file system saying that it cannot access any files (I can try to reproduce it if you want me to be more precise).
So this seems like a kernel mode bug (is hal running in kernel mode?).
To get some debugging info, I used some parameters found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHal
I edited /etc/rc.d/hal and replaced
/usr/sbin/hald
with
/usr/sbin/hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no 2>&1 | ssh user@remotehost tee hal.log
The reason for using a remote file is that my log file is gone after crash and reboot if it is stored locally.
The resulting log file can be found at http://www.tinysave.net/files/download.php?file=496341
I thought this might get fixed if I just waited, but it has been around a few months with my fully upgraded Archlinux 64 bit, so I decided to ask for your help.
My system works otherwise flawlessly if I don't start hal.
Please let me know if you need more information like command outputs or log files.
Thank you for any help on this issue!

Retention guarantee causing multiple DML operations to fail ?

WARNING: Enabling retention guarantee can cause multiple DML operations to fail. Use with caution.
^^
From the Ora Docs (10.2) Section - Introduction to Automatic Undo Management (Undo Retention) states the above.
This would mean that other DML operations if requiring space in undo, would therefore fail with a ORA-30036 error. Is this correct understanding ?
If so then one way to avoid this ORA error is to have autoextend defined. ??

From the Ora Docs (10.2) Section - Introduction to Automatic Undo Management (Undo Retention) states the above. Is it from
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/undo.htm#sthref1482

This would mean that other DML operations if requiring space in undo, would therefore fail with a ORA-30036 error. Is this correct understanding ? Not all DML operations requiring undo space would fail; only those transactions for which there is no space left in undo tablespace would fail. And yes this is one of the possible error messages that one can get.
If so then one way to avoid this ORA error is to have autoextend defined. ??Yes but that is just pushing the brick wall two feet away. Besides, with auto extension turned on and inappropriate undo_retention parameter settings, you will have issues with disk space (if any).

What causes multiple entries in my calender events in my iPhone 4s?

What causes multiple entries in my calender events on my iPhone 4s?

Hi jeffpetit,
Here is a link that will help you troubleshoot this issue with the camera on your iPhone:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Braden

What would cause multiple error lines to appear using validator logic

What would cause multiple errors to appear for a single line as shown below. I coded Regular Expression Validator with a specific matching pattern and all the patterns work fine. When I key in an invalid pattern on a row I get the following errors dislayed. Why am I getting multiple error lines instead of one. Also when the data in the field is in error the field gets cleared. How do I fix this problem?
Error
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

Looks as though my RegEx script is not coded properly so it is causing the problem.
This is my regex script
8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
I changed the script above to the following to slowly build the script back to get rid of these multiple errors that are appearing. When I set my regex script to the following then I just get the one error line.
([0-9]{4})
I thought the regex script was working but when I key an invalid value I get 8 error lines as shown above. That should not be happening. This regex script
8([0-9]{3})|8([0-9]{0,2}\%)
is to perform the following logic:
The field I am editing is 4 characters long.
1) The first character must be an 8 and the next 3 charaters must be any character from 0-9
OR
2) The first character must be an 8, the next 0-2 characters must be any character from 0-9, the next non-blank character after any digits must be a wild card character of %
Examples: any number from 8000-8999, 8%, 8n%, 8nn% where n is any number from 0-9

Cache problem when starting hal

Hello everybody,
I have a problem to submit you : hal won't start (so I won't have any mouse or keyboard in Xorg...)
When I start hal normaly (/etc/rc.d/hal start), it hangs for a minute or so and then says it failed.
With the command "hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes", it has the following output

Hi Volker,
I made some tests and could certify that my kernel patch 123 which is running on QAS in the same box isn't affected by the most recent patch level (149).
I did all the steps accordingly to OSS note 1077496, applied patches for LOCALES, R3INLPGM, SAPSTART and DW, plus LIB_DBSL, R3TRANS and TP.
But I can't start a sapgui session if using "P" as system_language, as I have configured on QA system.
I've opened an OSS ticket and they suggested note 1037947. But running TCODE I18N results in a known issue, it says that I must correct locales de_DE.ISO8859-1 and pt_PT.ISO8859-1 on application server.
I think that the "best" solution for my case is applying an older kernel patch (123) as I have on QAS and PRD, until media from IBM containing these additional locales don't arrive.
Can you another advice?
Thank you, ever n' ever!
Regards,
André

Listening for multiple keypresses simultaneously

I'm trying to move a rectangle around with arrow keys.
The current code of keyPressed method is
     public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
/*           switch(e.getKeyCode()){
               case 37: x=(Math.max(0,x-3));break;
               case 38: y=Math.max(0,y-3); break;
               case 39: x=Math.min(200,x+3);break;
               case 40: y=Math.min(200,y+3);break;
          int a = e.getKeyCode();
          if(a == 37){x=Math.max(0,x-3);}
          if(a == 38){y=Math.max(0,y-3);}
          if(a == 39){x=Math.min(200,x+3);}
          if(a == 40){y=Math.min(200,y+3);}
          repaint();
     }The problem is that when pressing multiple keys at the same time only one registers.
So how do I register multiple key presses ad change x and y accordingly?
thank you

It seems to me that the problems mentioned in that link with the "hold" could be solved with using a state flag set on keyPressed and then reset on keyReleased. When you release even one you should get the keyReleased event and until then, you should be in a hold state.

ITunes has started to cause instability, help ?

Hi, recently iTunes has started causing my Windows XP system problems. Sometimes, when I try to run it, it never opens. When that happens, I can't open other programs like Firefox or MS Word either. When I press Ctrl Alt Delete i see "iTunes.exe" is running in Processes but "iTunes" is not listed in Applications. I am forced in this situation, which happens quite frequently, to plug out my computer because when I shut down the "This program is not responding" box pops up and when I click "end now" the computer just idles forever and never shuts down.
If anyone could help me fix this problem, it would be much appreciated. Everytime iTunes decides not to open I am forced to keep plugging out my computer (can't be good for my hard drive!) Thanks a lot in advance, Greg

Sometimes this problem can occur when a firewall blocks iTunes starting, as a test try briefly disabling your firewall to see if iTunes will start.
Do this after restarting your PC.
SOmetimes a damaged configuration files can do this, there are instructions for deleting the file in the link I will give at the end.
Do you use facebook & Qloud or other plugins?
Here are are some general instructions for troubleshooting launch problems - finding out if it is user specifc is an important first step.

Starting and stopping multiple audio files throughout Keynote

I have Keynote 08. Can you do this in the next version. It doesn't seem like you can play a song in the document and have it stop a certain slide and start up again on another slide or stop at a certain slide and start a new song.
The only three options seem to be:
1. Play a song in the background that has no idea where you are in the presentation.
2. Play a song on particular slides which will stop whenever you go to the next slide.
3. Switch to a new Keynote document by a hyperlink that plays a new song. You'll then need to have multiple keynote documents.

Try the following; it works for me.
First Audio clip: Build-in (Start Audio) will begin playback
Build-out (Stop Audio) will end playback.
Second Audio clip: Build-in (Start Audio) will begin playback
To have first clip end when second begins, create a Build-Out (Stop Audio) and have the Build-In (Start Audio) of the second clip occur simultaneously with the Build-Out of the first clip.
By the way, you can have these audio clips associated with a slide and still have an audio track running in the background as a Soundtrack. Be sure, however, that you record the various audio tracks at an appropriate level before you import them into Keynote because you cannot balance them while in Keynote.

Leopard 10.5.1 may cause iPhoto to self-start and caused 5 re-starts since

Well - I installed Leopard update (10.5.1) this morning and since then I have had to re-start my computer 5 times - or perhaps 6 - I'm losing count.
On the first three occasions, iPhoto started up on its own and was not able to load any photos, so I force-quit after several minutes - I was informed I should send a report to Apple which I did as "iPhoto force-quit while unresponsive'. Later I also got a screen which was greyed and telling me I MUST restart. I had this twice.
Now for me - this is more re-starts in one day than I have had in the past 6 months.
Any one know if there is anything I can do, or must I simply wait until Apple resolves something in 10.5.2?

I'm not even sure if my problems are the same as anyone else's. I don't get specific errors, but Mail, Safari, Transmission, Full Tilt Poker App, and anything that uses the network causes my MacPro to behave like my crappy old PC. I get rainbow ball of death constantly and have to PowerCycle at least 3-8 times a day depending on how often I use my network.
Won't automatically crash, but Mail just stops out of the blue, Safari will become unresponsive when loading a plugin like flash (YouTube for example), transmission will just stop, same with all net-based apps.
Only error I get through Activity Monitor is that the UserAgent(something) is not responding and is red.
I need my bootcamp, and Time Machine is too useful. I need a fix very soon!! Anyone else going through this?

Stop/Start Audio on Multiple Objects in Cp6

I've used Vish'sYouTube tutorial, "Using Play Audio Action" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52x5sgbzrgc), to set up three smart objects that play and stop audio on mouse click. It works great. However, as it's now configured, the user must click once to start the audio, once to stop the audio, and then yet again to start the audio on another object. This doesn't seem all that user friendly.
I'd like to set it so while audio from one object is playing, the user can click another object that will stop the currently playing audio and start the audio for the newly clicked object.
I'm sure this is pretty easy to do with advanced actions, but I just can't figure it out. I'd appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks.
Dan

You are correct that it's not very elegant. But at the moment, almost nothing about HTML5 is 'elegant' when you compare it to Flash-based output.
In SWF content you can have multiple audio tracks playing at the same time. You can have a background track, a slide voiceover, AND a click or some other sound happening when the user interacts with the content (object-level audio). In HTML5 currently you can only have one audio file playing at a time. Another limitation of the genre.
