Weird JFrame behaviour in 1.4.1

I have an application that runs fine under 1.4.0. It has a main JFrame where most of the action happens, but from time to time, it wants to display another JFrame, which is hassle-free under 1.4.0.
Under 1.4.1, the main JFrame is fine, but the second JFrame only semi-displays, and I've tried to figure it out, but nothing I'm trying is helping. You can see a small part of the top left-hand corner of the frame, and you can see its edges, and you can click on the menu bar, which will popup the menu items, which are functional. The rest of the frame looks like whatever is behind it: if you drag it around, the copied background moves around too, but if you drag it partially offscreen, then when you drag it back, it contains sort of skidmarks or smears (stuff that was at the visible edge, smears).
I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this weird behaviour, and would appreciate any insights or clues as to how to (continue to) go about fixing it.
Thanks

Then maybe you have some code that is catching an exception and ignoring it.
Do you have any empty catch clauses?
catch (SomeEvent e) { }

[solved] laptop - weird keyboard behaviour

Hello,
since upgrading to kernel 3.2.1.1 (same with 3.2.1.2) I have a weird keyboard behaviour.
I have to press ESC to leave this weird mode.
This problem is similiar to
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86026
Do some people have the same problem?
My laptop is Dell Vostro 1310.
// ok... this never was a kernel software issue
// my keyboards shift was just a bit... loosely

same for me, for about one week, on 2 different systems. I'm using KDE4 but some other people reported this problem on Gnome too. It generally stops when I strike the key again a few times.
It happened when I showed someone how cool Linux was, and then it opened 60 occurences of the same images I wanted to cut and paste...

BCM4322 wireless weird burst behaviour.

I have a Dell studio xps 1340, with the BCM4322 wireless card. Everything work fine with the broadcom-wl driver, however, I seem to get this weird burst behaviour. By this I mean, my network connection seems to be available for only 1-2 seconds before it cuts off and then reactivates another 1-2 seconds later.
I'm running KDE 4.5 using the networkmanager plasmoid. Here is a screenshot of said behaviour:
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening and if I can fix it in any way?

Strange JFRAME behaviour under Jdk 1.5

I have the following extracted code :
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class DrawPie extends JFrame{
     private HashMap ColourMap=new HashMap();;
     private HashMap DataMap=new HashMap();
     private double Total_Val=0;
     private int startAngle=0;
     private int arcAngle=0;
     public DrawPie(HashMap DataMap){
     super ("Pie Chart Analysis");
          this.DataMap=DataMap;
     //     System.out.println("DATAMap-->"+DataMap);
     // getContentPane().setBackground(Color.white);
          setSize(500,500);
          setVisible(true);
     public void paint(Graphics g){
          super.paint (g);
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
          DrawPieChart(g);
This programme work fine under jdk1.4.2 or below at the time when the Jframe or windows is resized or icon minimised or maximised.
But when it was compiled using latest jdk1.5 , unexpected strange result happen , the pie chart draw using java 2d
g2.fill(new Arc2D.Double(30, 30, 200,200,startAngle,arcAngle
, Arc2D.PIE));
wil behaved strangely, the moment the JFrame or windows is resize or dragged.
The pie chart will disappear if the windows is resized , However if the window is minimised and restore back to normal size , pie chart will reappear and subsequently lost completely if the windows is dragged resulted in the size changes.
I was puzzled by this strange swing behaviour , any resized or windows minimise or maximise would not result in the lost of pie chart as long as the jdk is not 1.5 ! Was it due to swing fundamental changes incorporated in the latest release?
Any suggestion?
Thank

ok I see what you have done,
now a few tips in drawing something on your frame:
never override the paint method of your main Frame (like you did)
to draw something on it you simply override the contentPane's paint method
and to make your own contentPane you simply make one by making a new Class
that extends say JPanel and assign it as a contentPane of your Frame(like I did)
And in this Paint method you can draw whatever you like it will be properly uptated!!!
All the best keep up the good work!
ps. try the code bellow.
import javax.swing.*;
public class DrawPie1 extends JFrame {
private double Total_Val=0;
private int startAngle=0;
private int arcAngle=0;
private MyMainPanel mainPan;
public DrawPie1()
super ("Pie Chart Analysis");
mainPan = new MyMainPanel();
setContentPane(mainPan);
//public void paint(Graphics g) //Do not override the paint method of your main frame!!
// super.paint (g);
// Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
// g2.setPaint(Color.red);
// g2.fill(new Arc2D.Double(30, 30, 200,200,0,78
// , Arc2D.PIE));
public static void main(String args[])
DrawPie1 pie=new DrawPie1();
pie.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
pie.setSize(400,300);
pie.setVisible(true);
//**** Second Class
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Arc2D;
public class MyMainPanel extends JPanel
public MyMainPanel()
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint (g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setPaint(Color.red);
g2.fill(new Arc2D.Double(30, 30, 200,200,0,78
, Arc2D.PIE));
}

Weird keyboard behaviour in TTY

Good evening,
I just reinstalled Arch Linux on a VPS and I am experiencing some weird behaviour.
I created the Arch Image on my local machine and when it was setup with the most basic features I did send it to the VPs company for them to run.
When I connect to this new install with putty over SSH everything is going fine and my keyboard works.
However when I connect via putty to the 'lights out' service of this VPS and thus reach some kind of TTY environment the keyboard behaviour is totally different! I do not mind that my arrows do not work, or that all the F keys are giving me weird characters. But the most annoying of all is that my Return key (or enter how you want to call it) does print the first character of the command I just typed and does a line break. It is incredibly weird and thus I made you guys a photo.
As you can see when I type uptime then the U is displayed on a new line and nothing happens. If I hit return again then the system will say that the command U does not exists.
However if you continue typing as you can see in the second example then in the end you do get what you want. As you can imagine this is not what should happen.
/etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=uk
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
FONT_MAP=
I also tried to enable keymap in the hooks of mkinitcpio.conf but this did not make any difference. I am not sure if the keymap is the problem, if I load it manually it also does not make any difference to the TTY.
Yet again, via SSH nothing is wrong and all works fine. However when I connect with putty to the 'lights out' service then it goes wrong.
Does anybody have an idea what is going on?
Edit:
Added thumbnail image. Sorry Inxsible

What I understand is that you are having no problems with SSH, but you are having with PuTTY. Is that right? If so, try playing with PuTTY's settings.
I do use putty to connect to SSH and to the 'lights out'-service of the VPS the arch install is hosted. So in my opinion in both cases it should work the same. However the 'lights out'-service looks as if you are directly connected to the machine via a keyboard and monitor. You also will see all the boot information and the services being started. When it is done booting it will display the login view. I believe you call all of what I just explained a TTY, am I correct?
So if I use putty to connect to these services how come the SSH version works but the 'lights out'-version does not?

Behringer FCA202 - weird metronome behaviour

Hi,
I could get my hands on a Behringer FCA202 firewire audio interface for a real nice price. It works fine, except for 1 thing: when I switched on the metronome - no sound! Now the weird thing: after I created an audio track and a bus with reverb, I heard my metronome, but with LOTS of reverb. So, I looked into the Environment: ahhhh... the Klopfgeist channel strip has it's output set to Bus1. That explained the weirdness! So, I changed the output to Output 1-2, and saved this as a new template. But... if I open this template, The Klopfgeist channel strip's output is set to Bus1 again.... WEIRD!
Now, it's not a disaster to go to the Environment and change Bus1 to Output1-2, but if there's a trick to prevent this behaviour, I'd like to know....
For your info: until now, I simply used the iMac's built in audio input/outputs, and the metronome behaved the way it should.
Anyone have a clue??
Thanks!
Regards,
Jaap

Hi MigCla,
Unplug everything except your magsafe from your macbook.
Try to boot into safe mode by booting and press shift key, repair your permission by opening application folder > utilities > disk utility > repair disk.
And reconnect that firewire card afterward, and re-set up if it shows back up in audio/midi set up.
If your Firewire card have any driver that comes with, re-install it or check their sites for newer driver if available.
Good Luck.

Weird Oracle behaviour (insert)

hi there,
I experience this weird behaviour whith an oracle jdbc-conection:
( Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@machine:port:database","bla", "bla");)
If I insert a few rows in a table, close the statement and do an commit() (autocommit is false) and close the connection, the data is NOT in the database.
and now comes the funny part:
IF I FORCE AN EXCEPTION AFTER INSERT AND BEFORE COMMIT,
THE DATA IS IN THE DATABASE !!!
code:
if (conn.isReadOnly()) {
     conn.setReadOnly( false );
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
p1 = inhalt.indexOf("\n");
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
while (p1 >= 0) {
zeile = inhalt.substring(0,p1);
inhalt = inhalt.substring(p1+1);
pstmt.setString(1,datei);
pstmt.setString(2,zeile);
i1 = pstmt.executeUpdate();
logIt("vms.machmal:doLoad:ergebnissql #"+i1+"#");
p1 = inhalt.indexOf("\n");
} // end while
pstmt.close();
// if I force e.g. a nullpointer-exception here, the data is in the database...
conn.commit ();
erg = 0;
fehlertext = "Datei "+datei+" geladen";
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
     erg = -1;
     fehlertext = "Fehler beim Laden der Datei "+datei+": "+e.getMessage();
finally {
lServletDlgView.setRc(""+erg);
lServletDlgView.setHinweis(fehlertext);
return erg;
Is this a bug?
please,please, help me!
thanks a lot in advance,
frank

So perhaps there's anybody out there who knows the
oracle driver....?This is my reasoning:
- I have used the oracle driver successfully.
- And probably a lot of other people have used it successfully as well.
- Throwing an exception does not impact the driver.
When I have a situation that seems impossible I usually find it is because I have made an assumption that is wrong. Which is why I say "examine your assumptions."
For example I once spent quite a bit of time, at least several hours, trying to figure out why the data that I was inserting into a database wasn't getting into the database. I had many logs. And I tried various scenarios to reduce the code and running the SQL directly in the gui for the database. The results that I was seeing was simply not possible.
I finally realized that the code was running against a different database than the one I was looking at.

Weird Photoshop behaviour- becomes unresponsive

I'm having a weird behaviour with Photoshop CS4. Sometimes when I have some other application or applications open. I will be unable to use any of the menus of photoshop. If i close some of my applications and then restart Photoshop then it will work. It seems like a memory management issue. Anybody else has this problem?

Update CS4 to 11.0.1?
Buy and install more RAM.
Don't have so many other applications running in the background.
Go to MSconfig, startup and turn off items that you do not need running will help too. You can always start them manually.

Memory timings, weird bios behaviour, frustration...

Hi.
I recently bought a MSI 875P mobo, a P4c 2.4GHz to go with it and also 2x512MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 memory.
First thing I did was flash the bios to the newest version (1.8), which, after reading things from another thread might not have been such a great idea after all.
Seems that the CAS latency setting in the bios does not do anything. No matter if its set to 2, 2.5 or 3, CPU-Z always shows 2. Also, im getting quite frustratign results when overclocking with this mobo, no matter how much voltage I give to the memory (I have tried as much as 3,2v) whenever the memory bus is over 200MHz the system wont be stable. It seems as if the memory voltage setting doesnt do anything, as it doesnt matter if its set to 2.5 or 3.2 it wont be any more or less stable. (I know over 200MHz is over spec for this memory but the mem is supposed to do alot better than that, especially when increasing the voltage.) Also even with low memory speeds im unable to get the CPU to go very high... it does 3GHz (250MHz FSB) fine with default core voltage, but anything above that wont be stable no matter what CPU core voltage I use. Could be my CPU, but I suspect the motherboard to be the reason with so many faults already.
Theres also some weird behaviour by the bios I have seen. For example, sometimes the AGP/PCI divider has three settings (66,75,83MHz) and sometimes it allows me to set the frequencies by 1MHz steps, but still so that there is no 66MHz setting at all, just 67 - 83MHz and one extra setting which gets adjusted as I adjust the FSB. Also, sometimes when I try to go into the BIOS setup, I only get a black screen. This often happens if I press some other key (for example tab) before pressing del during POST. weird and extremely annoying.
Is there any hope that issues such as these would be resolved in a future bios update? I'm a little frustrated after setting up this system with watercooling etc. and now being stuck with this motherboard doing weird things and certainly not being a good mobo for overclocking!
In case these issues wont be solved in the near future, I will propably switch to another brand motherboard... Anyone reading these boards with good experience from other manufacturers, preferably similar boards as the 875P in terms of features (wanted ones)?
any help appreciated (preferably from someone from MSI),thanks.

This will clock the ram at 400. You should be able then go further.
This is what I have done, the performance setting is set to slow, and even right now I have CAS 3 set in the bios but cpu-z still shows its using CAS 2. Using 333MHz DRAM clock with 250MHz FSB is stable at all default voltages, but anything above those wont work, no matter what voltages. If I set the FSB to 255, it wont be stable anymore, not even with 1.7v vcore and 3.3v memory voltage. Even setting the DRAM clock to 266MHz wont be stable with 255FSB. Also, running a lower FSB with a higher memory clock, so that the FSB is lower but memory goes above 200MHz wont be stable no matter what.

Xen dom0 kernel and weird LUKS behaviour

Hi all,
I am having weird behaviour with fresh Xen dom0 kernel and LUKS. Both Xen kernel come from AUR. No errors during kernel compilation or initramfs generation. While booting, system asks for password to encrypted LVM, using normal kernel (2.6.33-ARCH x64) I enter the password - everything is ok. But while booting Xen kernel, kernel says that password is wrong. After entering it 30 times I sure that I didn't make any mistake ;-)
Any ideas what is happening ?

Partially solved. I connected PS/2 keyboard and it worked. But why USB keyboard works on non-Xen kernel ? Any one knows how to make password visible while typing it at boot time ? It might help finding out what's wrong.

[JS CS3] Weird grouping behaviour

Hi, I am facing a weird trouble.
Assuming mypicgp may be either a ungrouped pageitem or a group,
mybtn is a button, mylabel a textframe.
i mypage.groups.add([mypicgp,mybtn,mylabel]);
line works fine if mypicgp is ungrouped object. It creates a group.
If mypicgp is a group of pictures, the script fails but as weird as it is, a group is created anyway looking to what I want to get.
BUT it seems it duplicates the button and the label. So my final group is made of mypicgp (the primary group), 2x mybtn & 2x mylabel.
Any idea what's wrong ?

If the array contains references to words in a document and you close that document then the document no longer exists and so neither do the words. So the error is no surprise.

Weird X behaviour since last update

Ever since my last update, Xorg has been acting weird with text selection.
The problem in detail: sometimes when I select text on a website or in my terminal, the text will not stay highlighted but the selection will instantly disappear - the contents however have been copied to the clipboard. Very irritating. Another very annoying thing is, that X sometimes thinks I double clicked on a word and will instantly highlight the word. If I try to shake that off by clicking somewhere else, that will be be highlighted instead.
My X.Org Server version is 1.8.1.902 on Arch64.
What could be the problem here?

I am having them, currently to fix it i just turn the phone off and turn it back on. Sometime that works for a day, sometimes 2. But until i know there is a problem(usually when i see the light flashing that I have a text or missed call, yet there was no ring or alarm ) there is nothing to do, unless, and I am going to try it tonight, turn it off and on before bed and again when i wake up.

JInternalFrame vs JFrame behaviour

I have a tested JFrame with a set of swing components. This frame works fine, but when
I used the code of the frame to create a JInternalFrame with the same components the
lower part of the frame is not shown. The frame is cutted in the lower border.
Thanks in advance.

Did you use:
internalFrame.pack();
This makes sure the size of the frame is large
enought to show all the components at their preferred
sizes.In addition to that, verify that the JInternalFrame is not simply bigger than its JDesktopPane.

Weird LOV behaviour - delay when go_block,go_item

Hi,
I have a lov and after the user selects a value I go to another block and execute a query. Problem is that after I check the return value of show_lov and find it true, it takes some 3-4 secoonds for the code to execute if it had a go_item or go_block statement.
To understand it better:
a := SHOW_LOV('LOV_ALL_EMP');
IF a = TRUE THEN
IF HERE I PUT A GO_ITEM OR GO_BLOCK STATEMENT (WHICH IS NEEDED TO EXECUTE QUERY THEN) I TAKE A 3 SECOND DELAY FOR SOME REASON (ONLY AT THE FIRST GO_BLOCK OR GO_ITEM IF I HAVE 2 OR MORE I GET THE DELAY ONLY AT THE FIRST. OTHER STATEMENTS DONT STUCK.
ELSE
IF USER DOES NOT SELECT A VALUE DELAY DOES NOT OCCUR EVEN IF I USE GO_BLOCK
END IF;
To put it more generally:
When I execute a the first GO_ITEM or GO_BLOCK statement AFTER the call of a LOV it seems to stuck for a little.. Even if statement refers to the block already focused. Also for the delay to occur, user have to select a value from LOV i.e. if user does not select a value (and show_lov returns false) this delay does not happen. Why?
Any ideas on this strange behaviour please?
regards,
teo

Well Steve,
seems it's something like that. What I did is to check if it is the same on other PCs in here and it is the same, but unfortunatelly I wouldnt have the opportunity to check it on an OS other than XP home. Laptop I use for testing over the Web has Win 2000 but I use PSTN there so speed is totally different and I can't tell if there's a difference.
Anyway I really don't have too much time to lose on that (it seems tricky) and moreover I don't think I'm using LOV in this case cause UI seems too poor for my requirements so I'll do a 'LOV' by myself.. So I will abandon this although its interesting. If later on I find anything else or be able to test it on another OS I'll get back on this post.
I really appreciate your interest.
