exscape Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Problem 1: Spotlight doesn't work. No matter what I type I get "No results found." I tried checking it out with mdutil: ...:~ root# mdutil -s /Volumes/MacOSX /Volumes/MacOSX: Error: Could not get indexing status for volume. ...:~ root# mdutil -E /Volumes/MacOSX /Volumes/MacOSX: Error, no index found for volume. ...:~ root# mdutil -i on /Volumes/MacOSX /Volumes/MacOSX: Could not set indexing status for volume. I've done quite a few installs before I got everything (well, almost) right. In one of those installs spotlight seemed to work just fine, but it's been like this in the rest of 'em. Also, I can't enter directories/volumes under "Privacy", that might be related to the above though. Any ideas? Problem 2: How the hell do I lock OSX to a single input language? I had to type my password to the forums five times before I got it right, since OSX changed the input language when I tabbed from "user name" to "password". Quite annoying! I figured that I'd simply uncheck the ones I don't want, but when there's only two left the one I want to remove turns grey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruku Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 that sounds really annoying. i have a language problem to which is probably unrelated, i think. ive been living in japan and i need to use japanese characters occasionally so i enabled the character set in the 10.4.6 goatsecx disk which worked fine (except for the character palette) until i updated using the jas amd 10.4.7 updater. since then i can select the japanese symbols but i continue typing in english. perhaps its not as annoying as your problem but it stops me from using mac everyday. anyone got any ideas? i found and installed a language patch on TPB but it didnt change anything. as soon as ive backed up i will install anything that looks related to language of the install disk.
