Yet Another Key Layout Problem with Xorg7

I've read the wiki and forums, yet I haven't managed to get @-sign nor |-sign working with my finnish keyboard. Both need the compose key. Any pointers to relevant info or suggestions how to remedy this are most welcomed!
Here's my xorg.conf if it's any help:

I tried if regenerating the file with xorgconfig would help. It didn't. I'm still missing AltGr functionality even if I do have:

Any Ideas?

Yet another post about problems with a Zen Mi

So the deal is everytime i try to put music onto my micro it says it's busy or not connected, but i know it is connected and i know my USB ports are fine, i can however make it work temporarily if i reformat it from recovery mode, but that of course deletes all my songs, im pretty sure i have the firmware i'm supposed to .....02.05..... but im not for sure, and also i did see on one of these threads that someone had bought a new usb cord and that fixed their problems, but i'd rather not waste the money if it wont fix it, any input would be very much appreciated

Well believe it or not, i did do my research and i looked through the FAQ and many many other posts about micro problems, and i know that the computer is not the problem, and for anyone who has made a similar post in the past and fixed the problem please let me know because on pretty much every thread i looked at the problem was not resolved, or at least not posted as resolved, but once again my main question is could it be the USB cord?

Page Layout Problems with embedded iViews

Hi all,
We are having problems with the position of the iviews in the layout page using embedded iviews. Sometime load in one order and other times in another one. I need that the iviews load in the same order always.
Any idea, please?
Thanks for all.

Hi José,
if in fact this is the case, then I would expect that the single iViews are called via different threads. If this is the case, then I would implement within the iView to wait for some result provided by the iView, which should be loaded first (for example, by putting some certain value into the http session object).
For deeper discussions on this topic see and
Hope it helps
Detlev

Root pass and key layout problems

Hello. There are two problems. The first is that when I use 'sudo' in terminal it is accept only my normal user password, not root??? Some programs like Shaman require root password.
And the second problem - my layout. I have 'us' and 'ru' layouts. It is working by click to keyboard indicator, but when I press Alt+Shift, both Alt's or Win key (there is my config) is nothing happens. I have only original EN locale - maybe the problem is it?

I was having problems with E17 after a fresh install (mixer problem, key bindings, etc), and I fixed it by deleting the configuration files at

as the wiki says.

Yet another active directory problem

Hi,
I'm trying to bind a few Macs in my Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain, they're the first that comme with Lion 10.7.2 out of the box. I'va had my share of problems with AD binding of Macs, but I already have a lot of 10.6.8 Macs, and a few other that got upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 without much problems and those work fine with my AD.
That, of course, couldn't last and I now have a new problemes with my 10.7.2 Macs. The binding process in itself seems to work fine, I've got the green light in front of my AD domain and I can log with my AD accounts on my Macs. The problem start when I try to access the directory utility to change the default settings for "active directory" (any settings will do, create mobile acount for example) : this creates another AD binding in "network account server", I can still login with my ad accounts but none of the settings I set in the directory utility are effective.
Both of those AD binding are shown with a green light, but the second one has a comment stating that it is not present in the auth scope rules. My AD DNS domain name is something like "domainname.com" (no .local), but the short netbios name is something like "dom" : the original AD binding on my 10.7.2 Macs is "dom", and the one created after I change some settings is "domainname". On my other Lion or SL Macs correctly joined to my domain, the domain only appears with the name "domainname" : it seems that for some reason Lion is now troubled by the fact that my netbios name is not the dns name minus the extension...
If I unbind one of my correctly working upgraded 10.7.2 Macs, it exhibits the same issue when I try to rebind it.
Does anyone else has a similar AD configuration, and does it work with 10.7.2 ? Does anyone has any idea of how to work around it ?
Thanks

Hi there,
I have experienced the same problem with Macs in my Windows environment. I have found a work-around for it, but it is a little bit tedious. What I have found is that if you reinstall Lion (10.7 or 10.7.1) and bind it to the domain before patching to 10.7.2 it will bind correctly with only one entry in the network account server dialog. From there you can updagte to 10.7.2 and it will work correctly. There is a catch, though. If for any reason you need to unbind the machine from the domain, you will run into the same problem when you try to bind it again. I know it is not much of a fix, but it is what I have been doing to get around the problem. I hope this helps you out.
Regards

Yet another Nano 6th Gen with power button failure

When is apple going to put its hand up and admit there is a problem with the 6th Gen Nano. My daughters 13 month old 16gig ipod has a power button failure the same as so many others. At £120 odd its already an expensive bit of kit without having to purchase an extended warranty. Pay another £50 for a repair and another years use? I dont think so.
I notice the sales pitch boasts the new ipod has been "completely renanoed" Come on Apple why dont you look after the little people and give us a decent trade in on these faulty year old ipods against a new sorted one? Patrick

Well a robust defence of your product Apple well done!

790GX-G65 (...yet another one) LAN problem

Greetings to all!
System specs:
Mobo: 790GX-GD65
CPU: Phenom II 550 x2
RAM: Kingston 2x2GB 1333 DDR3 (value ram)
PSU: Seasonic S12 430W
OS: Win XP Pro SP3 and Kubuntu 9.04
From the very first day that I bought this system (2 months ago) I encountered problems with my LAN port. The mobo had BIOS version 1.1 which I upgraded to 1.3.
The LAN port is connected to a router Zyxell 660H-61. The IP is assigned by DHCP.
So let me describe the problem. When I am connected to the internet and browse, sometimes it suddenly disconnects and connects immediately in a sec. The "local area connection status" icon pops two messages saying "network disconnected" and "local area connection is now connected".
Sometimes it never reconnects. When I try the "repair" it stucks at the point when it tries to get the IP.
The LAN port seems to be dead. Restarting the PC does nothing to fix it. Restarting and entering Kubuntu 9.04 shows also the LAN port dead.
THE ONLY WAY to fix this problem is to turn the PC off, turn the button of the PSU off for some secs, then turn the PSU button on, turn the PC on and voila! LAN port is alive again!
I have encountered this problem for over 20 times and this was the only way to make it work.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this problem. Are MSI engineers aware of this problem? Will I have to RMA my mainboard? It seems to me that this is NOT a driver problem but a hardware one.

Thanks for your effort and help guys but...
@stu
The cable is properly "clicked" into the LAN port and I have double and triple-checked it.
@DeHillBilly
1. I don't quite understand the question. What do you mean "trying it without the router"?
2. I have the latest drivers but I don't think it is a matter of drivers since the same thing happens at Kubuntu 9.04 too. (see my first post)
3. I have tried a different cable but results where the same.
@connlaoi
SKU? You mean the model? It is a Seasonic S12-430. I really don't think that a quality PSU like that is not able to manage the load of my 790GX-G65 plus a Phenom II 550, a couple of low voltage (1,5V) DDR3s and an HDD Western Digital 640GB. (I don't have a graphics card!)
All these working at idle...
After all the PSU can give 384 Watts at 12V lines (14+15 Amperes) which would be enough to "feed" that rig plus a medium to high end card working at full throttle.
Let's just don't exaggerate when it comes to power supplies actually needed by most users.
One more hint which I don't know if it might be useful: When I first bought the 790GX-G65 and the PH II, I installed my old nvidia 7600GT. I connected my monitor to the 7600GT but I had NO signal. The card, seemed to be dead, but was NOT, no matter what I tried. One day I had ,for some reason I don't remmeber, to unplug the power cables from the wall (my PC was turned off of course in case anyone wonders :D).
When I turned it on, like a miracle, my gfx card was recognized, alive and working.
So the same "trick" that I do to revive my LAN port whenever it ""decides" to die, did work for the seemingly dead gfx card.
The "trick" actually is some sort of reseting the board as it totally cuts the electrical power from it. Would that mean that there is something faulty at the BIOS? Something faulty at the Realtek chip responsible for my ethernet connection?
I am confused...

I am unable to properly print a playlist in the jewel case format. All lines bunch together. I have no problem with other print formats. Help please.

If it is a USB powered external, no AC adpater, that may be the reason. Mac notebooks are known to have low powered USB ports. You can get around that with a Y USB cable to connect to 2 USB ports at the same time.

Yet another freaky printing problem: 10.3.8 and Printer Setup Utility

I'm hoping some really smart people can help me out here -- I'm not as good at Mac troubleshooting as I need to be!
I purchased Tiger a few weeks ago and the upgrade went fine and I was able to print, but then suddenly I can't any more. I have a PowerBook G4, running 10.3.8 and a HP 2710xi, which is a wireless printer (not sure of the proper term for this).
The symptoms: iCal crashes when I hit cmd-P. Other programs also crash upon printing. Some programs will bring up the print dialog, but it freezes up at that point. I tried printing to a PDF in Microsoft Word, and that crashed it. This problem persists in other user accounts.
Additional problem: Printer Setup Utility crashes whenever I hit the "add" button to add a printer. I have the crash reporter information if anyone wants it. Can't add any printer at this point.
What I've tried: I uninstalled the old software from HP and reinstalled new software. The HP installer can't finish running since it gets hung up by the Printer Setup Utility. I installed print-only drivers from HP. Same problem. I tried plugging the printer in to the USB to see if that makes a difference. Same problem.
Printer Setup Utility is recognizing my printer in all forms: as USB, Bonjour, and HP IP Printing. I just can't add it due to the program crashing.
Further troubleshooting: I ran all the maintenance and permissions repairs in Onyx. I used most of the diagnostic and repair tools in Printer Setup Repair, including Reset the printing system and deleting printer preferences. I reinstalled the 10.3.8 update from Apple's website.
I'm not sure what my next step should be: Do I reinstall the whole operating system? From my review of this board, lots of other people are having problems with Printer Setup Utility in Tiger.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Have you tried starting up with the Install DVD, and then using Disk Utility (in the menus at the top, NOT in the installer) to repair the hard drive?
If you're going to show us any errors, use the Console to look at cups error log. Paste any line that starts with E, plus the 3 lines before it (they tell you what was happening).
If none of this is fruitful, yes, reinstalling is the next step.

Yet Another DR8-A Problem!! (Authoring)

I have had my DR8-A for over six months but have only used 25 discs in that time. Up until a month ago, any disc that I have burnt has worked in my PC DVD-ROM and my standalone DVD player.
Now however, although my DR8-A will burn and playback all formats from multisession to authored discs, my DVD-ROM and my standalone DVD player will only play back multisession discs but not authored discs now. I have tried previously burnt authored discs that I had created with my DR8-A on my DVD-ROM and standalone DVD player and they still play fine. I am not doing or using anything different now from when I originally authored my previously successful discs. I am still using the same pack of discs that I have been using throughout and they still work in my DR8-A when playing them back, but they refuse to play in anything else??
I have used DVD2SVCD, Nero, DVD Shrink, Tmpenc, DVD Maestro, authored them manually with CCE, and even checked the discs with DVDinfo and played back the VOBs prior to burning to see if they are fine, and they are. I have burnt at all different speeds and made sure that the bitrate was below the 9,800kbps needed for DVD playback, but still to no avail. I cannot see it being my system as I have reformatted after the problem first arose and it still doesn't work, and they, as I have mentioned previously, still work in the DR8-A, but not in anything else.
Can anybody shed any light on this for me please??
Thanq

Cheers for taking the time to reply KF.
I should have mentioned my system but I've never really had any problems with a system before in all the ten years I've been messing with PCs so I'm not used to the etiquette.
Anyway, I had already flashed my MSI DR8-A up to the 150D firmware, but I suspect that that is what my problem may be as I had had no problmes prior to that,although the flash went fine and without a hitch. I wonder if it's safe to downflash to the original firmware it was shipped with (120)?
Oh, and I already have the latest Nero but thanks for the reminder on that score too.

Yet Another iPod Touch user with WIFI problem

I have Linksys WRT54GS wifi router setup at home. I use four notebooks, one mac mini and one mobile phone (Nokia N80) without any problem on my wifi network.
The only problem is with my brand new iPod Touch 16GB (firmware: 1.1.2 3B48b - no jailbreak). It always shows an error "Unable to join the network 'MY-SSID-NAME'". I have tried to change SSID, change security settings (WPA, WEP, no security, ...) - but nothing helped. All other devices (notebooks, macmini and phone) always worked like a charm.
iPod worked only once - the first time I used it (after buying). Since then it does not. I have tried all resets, Restore in iTunes, ...
I think it might be a bug in firmware. Please help someone.
BTW: How (an where) can I report a bug to Apple ?

Just like many others, I bought Ipod Touch in Christmas and felt frustrated about surfing the net. I have read many posts in the forum. And I have tried many methods suggested by others to try to figure out the problems. Finally I have solved the problem and I want to share some ideas with others.
Steps of Checking:
(1) Check whether you have a wireless network at home or at work. Check whether the network is security protected or not. If it is, better ask the admininistrator (at home, the admin should be the one who bought the wireless router.) for password.
(2) Check the latest firmware upgrade for the wireless router (in my case, I use Linksys WRT54G. After I upgraded the firmware, my ipod touch could get the necessary IP from the router.)
(3) For the wireless router, better broadcast the SSID for the first time so that the IPod Touch can find it easily. I use WPA2-Personal Encryption AES (though many buddies here point out that WEP, WPA or even no security is also okay). I even set the MAC filtering and the Ipod Touch still works fine!(though you need to input the MAC address of your Ipod Touch to the MAC filtering table in the admin page of your router. the MAC address of Ipod Touch can be found in the Ipod Touch general information. There is a string like XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
(4) To mininimize the interference from neighbouring wireless networks, better try the connection near the wireless router.
(5) If you have tried for several times and failed to connect, you may reset the router by powering off for 15 seconds and reset the network configuration of the Ipod.
I have used Compag IPAQ before and I must say that for those tiny toys with Wifi capability, the connection is not that stable. However, I find that using the Ipod Touch to watch Youtube video is very good and the speed is excellent!
The steps suggested above are not exclusive. There are too many factors which influence the performance of Wifi. Hope you will succeed and enjoy the Ipod Touch in the New Year 2008!

Yet another temporary freezing problem, energy saving related, maybe

I've followed uncountable suggestions about this issue, but none seem to be quite the same situation, and none of the suggestions I tried made any difference so far.
History: MBP 17" June/2009, 8GB RAM, 500GB Seagate with sudden movement protection, started life as 10.5.7, done at least three fresh reinstalls of SL. The problem was present on the second SL install (the one I really used in production for about a year), but I solved it somehow by following uncountable Google suggestions at the time. Didn't take not of the magic one, because the problem wasn't so predictable at the time, or I didn't know enough about it, and also because I only noticed the problem was gone after a couple of weeks of normal use. Unfortunately, some time ago my filesystem went nuts on a kernel panic and, though I was able to move things back in place from lost+found, a few things wouldn't work as they should, so I went for another fresh reinstall. After I started to use the new system the problem showed up again, but I haven't being able to find a fix for it again. Current system (10.6.4) and patches regularly updated, though I tend to delay a reboot to avoid putting together all my usual windows/applications in the correct desktop/spaces. Maybe the only continuously running extension I have is Growl, since I tend to more heavily use the Unix part of the Mac through MacPorts (latex, tcpdump, nmap, bash scripts, emacs and so on). Recently I installed M$ Office, but normally I prefer OpenOffice (does M$ Office install some sort of extension?)
Frequency: I'm almost sure it is triggered by something related to energy saving regarding turning off the screen, but it doesn't happen every time. When I'm giving a class, the machine runs on battery, the settings for screen off are shorter and if I take too long to generate some input (key press or touchpad action), the problem tends to happen. Interestingly, it's particularly more frequent when I'm giving classes:-):-), but it is happening even on my desk with power on. I'm inclined to think there's a "window of opportunity" for the bug to happen, maybe between screen dim and screen off (a few minutes?). My settings are currently at 15 minutes for the screen to go off, for both power adaptor and battery operation, but that's an attempt to lower the chances of this happening during class, which is terrible. They used to be at only a few minutes of inactivity.
Symptoms: if I try to do anything with the machine past some period of inactivity, maybe during that window I mentioned above, there's a high chance of the bug being triggered. The system responds quickly to clicking a window, but applications don't seem to receive the focus of attention; I notice that the window frame of an application doesn't get darker when I try to select it. On a Terminal, the prompt remains as a rectangular frame instead of a filled block (I use white characters on dark background), and no matter how much I try, I cannot give the focus of attention to the visible shell on Terminal, so I can't issue any shell command to try and find out things. Changing workspaces may happen, but at a very slow speed, maybe many seconds after issueing the command. Eventually the system recovers itself, usually after several minutes, and then all user interface events that I tried during the freeze were remembered and are played sequently as fast as the machine can handle, sometimes doing unwanted things in the process due to objects receiving the wrong action (some sort of desynchronization). The outstanding event that preceeds recovering is the screen being progressively blackened and then lit again, but not instantly as in moving the pointer to a hot corner. The screen transition happens during half to a full second, after which all queued events are played at the fastest possible speed. After that the system is completely normal. In the beginning I have hard-rebooted the machine, because I didn't know it would eventually recover itself. During class I also don't have the patience to wait for long (and neither do students:-)).
Solutions already tried:
- disabling sms through pmset. I know it has to be disabled with this particular drive, otherwise conflicts with the drive's own mechanism. It is currently off, and had been on for a while till I refound the suggestion through google.
- re-indexing Spotlight's DB. No change.
- fixing file permissions (I don't see any possible relation, but anyway...)
Don't recall what else is missing on this list, because I couldn't find a concrete suggestion for this scenario, so I believe that's about it.
It looks to be more frequent now, to the point that I decided to stop work just to write this long msg, in the hope that someone else may have seen such behaviour and have something new for me to try.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that the initial backup is incredibly slow and hasn't worked yet. I right click on the dock icon and start the backup process which after working out what needs to be copied progress's in very slow erratic bursts.
It's hard to offer a definite solution. But there are some simple things you could try to improve the backup speed such as excluding TM backup disk from spotlight indexing (privacy tab in spotlight prefs), and excluding unecessary files and folder from the backup (e.g. applications) in TM prefs.

[SOLVED kinda]Yet another Broadcom wireless problem - scanning

Use an old Gateway laptop with a wireless card to provide internet through NAT to my desktop computer that isn't nearby my switch. I was doing this for the longest time using WinXP on the Gateway, but since all my other computers are now running linux, I figured, hey, why not put a really sleek and sexy copy of Arch onto the Gateway, and free up some of that HD space for easier file sharing between the desktop and the rest of the network. So I installed Arch, and have run head first into how much Arch and Broadcom wireless devices do not play well together. Have spent all my time since then searching the forums, the wiki, etc, but to no avail. So going to just go ahead and finally make my own call for help via the forums here.
I've only ever ONCE seen a scan find a wireless network, and that was after my first reboot after installing arch. That was the only time. There are at all times 2-4 wireless networks in range of this computer. I'm currently on my netbook running Ubuntu to post this (typing everything in by hand, ugh), and can see 4 networks right now. The Arch laptop can't find any.
To start off with: I have read the wikis. I have searched the forums. I HAVE INSTALLED THE FIRMWARE. I've checked to make sure my card is supported, and the driver it uses is the b43, and is not supposed to be compatible with the wl driver. This is the cardbus Linksys WPC54G v1 card. I know the card itself works.
Here's the various data I'm sure will be requested of me at one point or another. This is all taken immediately after booting.
What can I try. I've probably already tried it, but I'm willing to walk through step by step with someone if they think they can help.

How about any need to blacklist when you need b43. Anything suspicious around in lsmod?
with b43, you can see me previous lsmod on the original post.
with b43legacy, the only related things I see from lsmod are b43legacy, mac80211, cfg80211, and ssb.
Wait. Hmmm....

Now bcma is showing up. But it didn't before. It just started showing up with b43 since I did the compat-wireless package. But seeing as I'm getting scans SOMETIMES now, I hesitate to call it a problem. Maybe?
Any other ideas?
It can scan ONCE. The b43 driver is obviously functional at least for a bit.
Standard network service, wicd, netcfg, etc, I've tried them all. Reinstalled from scratch twice. Looking for NEW ideas basically. I've read just about every single post about every broadcom chipset out there. I just happen to have one of these rare ones apparently.

Help Importing objects from 1 user to another user and problem with trigger

Hello community, i am having a little difficulty with the exporting objects from one user to another specifically the exporting of the trigger.
Here is the situation, because of SOX purpose whenever a update is sent to the client the dba have to execute the script as himself (priviliged user) and is not allowed to log into the schema to make changes. Therefore we perpend the object definitions with &user_schema.. and they define user_schema in sqlplus and execute the update script.
Here is a small example which requires two users (user1 and user2) with the following grants (connect, create table, create trigger, create view, create sequence). Please forgive the naming of the objects, just trying to be as simple as possible.
I start out by logging in as system user via sqlplus and execute the following.
------------------Begin sqlplus----------------------
define user_schema=user1;
create table &user_schema..abc01 (
col1 number,
col2 varchar2(20),
col3 number,
constraint pk_abc01_col1 primary key (col1)
create table &user_schema..xyz01 (
col1 number,
col2 varchar2(20),
col3 number,
constraint pk_xyz01_col1 primary key (col1)
create or replace view &user_schema..view1 as
select x.col1, x.col2, x.col3, a.col1 as acol1, a.col2 as acol2, a.col3 as acol3
from xyz01 x
inner join abc01 a on a.col1 = x.col1;
create sequence &user_schema..seq_xyz01 start with 1 increment by 1;
create or replace trigger &user_schema..trig01
before insert on &user_schema..xyz01 for each row
begin
if (nvl(:new.col1, -1) = -1) then
    select seq_xyz01.nextval into :new.col1 from dual;
end if;
end;
/--------------------End sqlplus----------------------
I would then proceed to export using the exp utility via the command line
exp system/systempassword file=user1.dmp owner=user1
Then import user1 objects into user2
imp system/systempassword file=user1.dmp fromuser=user1 touser=user2
Now the problem:
When i take a look at the sql for user2 trigger (trig01) i see the following (viewed via sqldeveloper)
create or replace TRIGGER "USER2".trig01
before insert on user1.xyz01 for each row
begin
if (nvl(:new.col1, -1) = -1) then
    select seq_xyz01.nextval into :new.col1 from dual;
end if;
end;its referring to user1.xyz01 table, however i want it to point to is user2.xyz01 table. Can someone please help me out or offer another solution to go about this because i need the ability to import the objects into a different user without the import failing and having to recompile the object.
I've also tried executing this while connected as system user via sqlplus:
define user_schema=user1
create or replace trigger &user_schema..trig01
before insert on xyz01 for each row
begin
if (nvl(:new.col1, -1) = -1) then
    select seq_xyz01.nextval into :new.col1 from dual;
end if;
end;
/but that fails stating that table or view does not exist, please help
however that fails because i
Edited by: user3868150 on Nov 6, 2009 6:05 PM

When performing an update in their system, the same script will be run with different values, thats not the problem.
The client currently have just that one schema in their environment, however they want to have another instance of the application set up in their environment (same database) and have that go off on its own track separate from the original application.
Now when we do an exp of the schema and the imp it into another user it get imported, however its incorrect. As stated before the trigger will be acting on the table in the original schema when it should be acting on the table in the newly imported schema.
I suppose there is no other way around this when a trigger is created the way in which i outlined above. I guess after the data gets imported into a different user the trigger would have to be recompiled to point to the correct table.
If you have an alternate solution to go about this i am open to suggestions. However like i mentioned in the original post because of SOX purpose the dba is not allowed to log in and execute update scripts as the schema user. The scripts should only be executed as that privileged user (dba).
Also if i hard code the user when the trigger is created
create or replace trigger user1.trig01
before insert on user1.xyz01 for each row
begin
if (nvl(:new.col1, -1) = -1) then
select seq_xyz01.nextval into :new.col1 from dual;
end if;
end;
/it still doesn't get imported the way that i want it to be imported in user2
create or replace TRIGGER "USER2".trig01
before insert on user1.xyz01 for each row
begin
if (nvl(:new.col1, -1) = -1) then
    select seq_xyz01.nextval into :new.col1 from dual;
end if;
end;now when i do an insert to test
insert into user1.xyz01 (col2, col3) values ('abc', 123); -- Works fine, no problems here
insert into user2.xyz01 (col2, col3) values ('abc', 123);Results in an error ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("USER2".XYZ01"."COL1") because the trigger doesn't exist on user2.xyz01 table.
Just try and create the schema like how i outlined above in your environment to see what i'm talking about. It seems that the only way to get the trigger to be imported the way i want it to is to actually log in as that user and create the trigger.
sqlplus user1/user1
{code}
create or replace trigger trig01
before insert on xyz01 for each row
begin
if (nvl(:new.col1, -1) = -1) then
select seq_xyz01.nextval into :new.col1 from dual;
end if;
end;
{code}
