CentOS 5 :: Keybaord Not Working In X For One User?
Nov 10, 2009
I have about 30 regular user profiles on my system all of which are identical, except yesterday the keyboard stopped working for one when the user starts X both KDE and Gnome, seems like it dosen't even detect the keyboard as num/caps lock light is no longer on. It works on the command line just fine though. Was working fine Friday, no settings were changed at all over the weekend just stopped working come Monday morning.
Works for all the other users on the system. I've reset his profile from the /etc/skel directory still won't work.It's a network login through NIS so tried it on several machines (Centos5.3, Centos5.4, Fedora8, Fedora10, Fedora11 )throughout the building, no difference.Tried USB and PS2 keyboards, tried unpluggin it and pluggin back in during X see if it would detect it that way, tried running system-config-keyboard before logging in as this fixed a similar problem I've had before.Read similar stories where it was a setting in xorg.conf but i haven't tried these yet as the xorg.conf is machine specific (to my understanding) and the problem seems to be user specific.

Is there any application which can fulfil keybaord macros which I set?I need something which can press DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, SHIFT+UP, SHIFT+UP, SHIFT+UP, BACKSPACE. And then repeat that cycle for a long period of time.

Im looking for the force quit keyboard shortcut. Like XKill or what ever the force quit in Gnome panel is. Anything which will kill a misbehaving application which has locked up the mouse.

I am looking to create a user to be able to do WinSCP or SSH into the system and only be able to see /var/www/html/joomla/ and that is it. I don't want them to be able to start or stop service but be able to upload and download files to the specific directory or change privileges of the mentioned directory. Is that possible? what commands should I run.

I installed CentOS. NetworkManager successfully installed and launched. I can ping any IP from terminal but I can't open any site in browser except 127.0.0.1 I can't open IP of the modem 192.168.1.1 in browser also.
The results of some commands:
ifconfig

first of all, ill provide you with the package name i got [URL]...i went to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/bwbar-1.2.2 did ./configure ; make
then i get this problem : [root@server bwbar-1.2.2]# ./bwbar ./bwbar: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by ./bwbar) i have installed libpng & libpng-devel
[Code]...
after looking around a bit i thought it would be better to get the sources from kernel.org directly and try to compile that one, but then i found it to have the exact same error. would be very nice if someone could direct me to a solution for this. i have the bwbar already installed on another server which runs CENTOS 4 , i installed it there AGES ago , so i dont really remember what was my method back then.
the CENTOS 5 server dose not like me installing bwbar on it for some reason. maybe its bwbar's fault?, im no coder so i hope anyone that got a clue could check this out for me.

I installed the latest version of Centos 5.4.It came with Xen version 3.0.2 I think.I am running it on a Dell R510. It supports hardware virtualization.I was able to virtualize Windows XP and Windows 2003 server on it by selecting the install from DVD option.I was having problems trying to get a PCI DekTek card seen by the virtualized Windows domains so I tried to upgrade XEN to 3.4.2.I used the repos available from Gitmo and it went easy.
The only problem is now that when I try to create a "New virtual host" it only allows me to use HTTP, FTP option and not the iso or DVD option. They are greyed out. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and might know a work around for the Xen 3.4.2 problem. Perhaps a better location for the kernel or something.

Agere got purchased by LSI and now LSI tech support claims there is no Linux driver for this card even though the literature clearly states the availability of a Linux driver.I have installed the firewire driver mentioned in other forum posts from ELRepo.

I installed CentOS 5.3 on my Shuttle SS-31T with SiS 190 network adapter. While booting the message "Bringing up eth 0 [ OK ]" appears. After booting it isn't possible to surf to an internet location (p.a. www.google.com). It's also impossible to ping other machines in the network. After typing ifconfig everything seems to be ok.
ipv6 is turned off

U have spent 4 days trying to configure my router thinking that it is my router that is not working but when I go to my dynamic dns or my static ip address it takes me to my admin router on the local computers.when I type httpd it says it cannot bind to port 0.0.0.0:80 i checked it is set up to listen to port 80 this is really confusing me i am beginning to think the people who built my server did not set it up properly if i go to localhost or 0.0.0.127 it goes to the apache default page fine.I have not changed anything since it wad installed except the centos 5 updates any ideas?When i login my password is root and the password is the default I have changed nothing else on the system as I still have no clue about it.Just to clarify on my router I have port 80 and port 443 set to my static ip address is this correct or should it be the eth0 Bcast ip address?Can anyone give me an idea of what i need to check? On my router I have set up port 80 and port 443 and dynamic dns and static ip address.Sorry I am totally new to linux never used it before would be nice if anyone has any ideas how i can proceed with this.

pulled up an old clunker and put centos 5.4 on it the other day. well the grub spash screen appears but i have to manually hit enter to select a kernel.at the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and timeout=5. this is a new install. so I tried changing that value to 0 and it does boot the kernel immediately but never displays the splash screen. so something is not right I assume. btw I see a message (loading stage 2) for about 20 seconds as the computer boots and I have never seen that message on my ubuntu machine, so I wonder if something is off there.

I've got Cent 5.6 using centos-ds.x86_64 8.1.0-1.el5.centos.2 installed via yum.
I turned on the memberof plugin, here's the section from dse.ldif:
I'm currently messing with the value on memberofgroupattr. The only thing that seems to do anything is with it set the way above, in the error log I get:
So if I'm understanding, it's trying to mod the user entry and the attribute isn't allowed.
Setting the memberofgroupattr to anything else gets me nothing noticeable. ldapsearch isn't showing memberof:
I've run the fixup-memberof.pl in /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-hostname and I get:
I'm using ldapadmin from a Windows box to assign/delete people from groups. What I'm a little confused on is the difference between a group and a groupofuniquenames. I also see a difference when using the web gui (directory server gateway) in users. The gateway creates and entry while in ldapadmin I'm creating users. Not sure how that factors but the memberofgroupattr relies on what object class it is and I'm obviously trying the wrong things or something is busted elsewhere.
The error log isn't showing any other errors.
I can restart dirsrv just fine, nothing funny in the log when I do that:

I am trying to set up dropbox to run on startup on my server running ubuntu 10.04. When I add it (via webmin) to the startup tasks, it creates it in /etc/init.d/Dropbox, and starts fine, but runs as root. I want it to run as user "brett".I have tried doing a chmod +s dropboxd and setting the owner to "brett", but it still runs as root. I have also tried running sudo -u brett dropboxd but for some reason the program has errors and doesn't run if I do that.

Talk about being thrown in at the deep end! I am not used to linux systems but I have inherited a linux based internet setup that I need to take care of.Two machines (both have centOS 5) are networked and one is accessing the /home directory so people can log onto their personal home folder.The log in screen on the second machine usually just requires the individual to input their username and password and it automatically accesses their folder on the other machine.At the moment it doesnt and comes back with an error saying that the session lasted less than 10 seconds. Looking at the error message it is saying that the profile was not found and couldnt create per-user gnome configuration directory.
I am able to log in to the local root user on the machine and I can see the networked drive and even access the home directory.looking thru the network setting I see that the other machine seems to be acting as a samba server?? and is connected with SFTP?Any idea how to fix this problem as I have a load of guys sharing 1 PC for internet access in the middle of the atlantic Ocean on a ship!

I've created a new user on the system and can login to the server with SFTP but can only add/remove files in the users folder and nowhere else on the server.
I've tried adding
AllowUsers username to sshd_config but that made no difference?

I've got a Centos server setup as a web server and have no problems doing anything from the command line. Some users need to connect via FTP, and need to be able to chmod files and directories as they please. I've been able to allow the users to connect to the web directory via FTP, but can't work out how to allow them the ability to chmod anything within the folder. The files were originally uploaded by root user, however I want any user connecting via FTP to be able to edit permissions as they please.

I'm running 10.04, typically using the default gnome session. I locked my screen overnight, and when I came back the keyboard wasn't working. Before anyone asks, yes it is still plugged in. Here's where it gets weird. I logged out using the mouse, and switched to another user on the system, and it works fine. I have keyboard input on the gdm log on screen and for other users. I've tried about every possible combination of logging on/off and rebooting and nothing seems to work. Is this an Xorg thing or a gnome thing? Any ideas what to do from here? I can still get to a terminal through another user and then "su" to my user so I can run "sudo" commands. So in other words, no need to bring in a live CD or a clean install at this point, but I don't really know where to start with this one.
UPDATE: I switched session types to LXDE, and the keyboard DOES work for my user. However, when going back to gnome it still doesn't work. I guess that seems to point towards it being a gnome thing, not Xorg.
