CentOS 5 :: Switch Between Full-screen VNC Instances With One Keypress?
Oct 9, 2010
OS: Centos 5.4
VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.2 for X
Switching between two instances of VNC viewer in full-screen mode takes three key presses and two mouse clicks. How can the viewer be configured to pass a special key combination to the host operating system instead of the remote OS, so it's possible to switch between full-screen viewers in one key press?
e.g. With the default configuration, if I put the viewers in adjascent workspaces, then the sequence to switch is: F8 MouseClick Ctrl+Alt+Left F8 MouseClick If the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Left was passed to the host then it would be possible to switch workspaces (and therefore viewers) in one key press. When working on multiple remote machines, both physical and virtual, it's often necessary to switch between them frequently. I must switch over 100 times some days. Simplifying the key sequence would be both quicker and more intuitive.

I was playing a game called "BZFlag", it's a full screen game, and I saw someone sent me an message on skype and I pressed "alt+tab" trying to get out from the game... but nothing happens, i was still in game, and i couldn't quit the game, the game wasn't catching my keyboard input at all.

I saw a compizconfig video on ....., I forgot what it was, but I saw that they were running a video full screen and switched desktops or work areas and when they went back the video was still full screen.
Right now if I do a video full screen and switch to another desktop and come back to the video one, it is back to the window size before full screened.
How can I accomplish for my video to remain full screen even if i switch desktops?

This obnoxious bar has just appeared in Smplayer at the top of the screen. It stays there even when I go full screen. Now full screen isn't full screen and there are black edges on both sides of the screen. I have not be able to figure out how to hide it. I do not need or want this onscreen display. How can I configure Smplayer to make this go away? How can I get my 16:9 full screen aspect ratio back? I have done nothing to mplayer or smplayer as far as editing any or changing any configuration files. I tried several videos and it displays on all of them. It was not there last time I used Smplayer.

I'm running a Counter Strike 1.6 Game server on my centos 5 VPS. I can get it to run by simply switching to the directory, then doing: ./hltv Now, when I do that, it obviously closes when I exit Shell. So I do the following and it gives me errors then. screen -A -m -d -S hltv ./hltv My question is, do I need all of those commands after screen? I just simply want it to not close once I exit Shell.

I am configuring an internet kiosk on a centos 5.3. For that I need the browser in the full screen mode but here the network manager applet does not pop up the network status as the ethernet cable is plugged in/out. I want that feature in my kiosk. This feature works fine in an ubuntu machine. update me if any particular setting is responsible for this behaviour.

So I installed the Nvidia driver on a fresh install of F13 & rebooted in the image I've attached. So, my question, what should I be posting here to fix it? Xorg.conf? Honestly, the one thing I've never had an issue with in Linux is video drivers. I've always run Nvidia cards & they've always just worked. So I'm at a loss for the first time in a long time. I also tried googling, but I have no idea what to google.

I recently upgraded my graphics card from a Geforce 7600GS to a Gefore 560Ti. And while most things are normal, during boot up my screen isn't "full screen" until X is started, after which everything else is fine. Essentially, all display, the grub menu, the splash screen, console text, etc, is within a box on the screen, with 2" on the left and right, and 1" top and bottom of empty blackness.
From what I understand, this is because the framebuffer is using the wrong resolution, but the maximum resolution that hwinfo --framebuffer returns is 1280x1024 (which I am already using "0x031a".) (My monitors is natively 1920x1080) Is it possible to do something about this? If not increase resolution than at least stretch the screen to full screen?
sudo /usr/sbin/hwinfo --framebuffer
02: None 00.0: 11001 VESA Framebuffer
[Created at bios.459]
Unique ID: rdCR.GGyCBArXznD
Hardware Class: framebuffer
Model: "NVIDIA GF104B Board - 10400050"

OpenSuse 11.3 with nVidia drivers.I have the screen working fine though it only runs in 1600x1200@75 using the nVidia driver (GTX260 card).When I play a game in full screen mode all seems OK but when I exit the game then I just get the mouse pointer on a black screen.There must be something present since the cursor changes as I move it, normal pointer -> hand over a link etc. It's just that black on black isn't very readable.

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.

In my corporate environment, I'm required to run a Windows machine that acquires a VNC session on a machine in the server farm. My windows machine is dual head with different resolution monitors ( 1600x1080 on left and 1920x1200 on right). If I create a VNC session that spans the monitors, then maximizing a window in the VNC session causes it to stretch across both my monitors.
Instead, I want a "maximize" event to behave like it does on my windows machine -- I only want to maximize to the display that the window is on.
How can I define what, what I'll call, "maximize regions"? Regions in the VNC graphical plane where when I click "maximize", the window only expands to the region it currently ( and mostly) resides in.
Can I do this in gnome, X, xrandr, or some other magical interface?

I am wondering if there is a way to manually trigger a file system check during boot by pressing/holding a key. Maybe there is already a keyboard shortcut built in to do this?I know that using tune2fs you can modify the number of boots (mounts) between file system checks, or even use "shutdown -rF" to reboot the system and force a file system checkAlso, I do not want to force the user to choose to run/skip the file system check during boot. For example, prompting the user with, "Do you want to run a file system check [y/n]?" each boot (or even each time the system thinks it should run a file system check),s not desirable

I have multiple windows open. I select one window, and press a key. This causes something to occur in said window. This keypress only works for the one window I have selected. I would like this keypress to work for all the windows open on my desktop, which total to 9.

Is there any way to map a shell script to run when you press a certain set of keys? For instance, I may want to execute the following by pressing CTRL+ALT+R (if that key combination is not already taken)
Code:
compiz --replace --loose-binding ccp
Or perhaps I want to open the System Monitor by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL (a la Windows)

I have a G15v1. After going through hoops and loops to get it working only to discover that you only needed to install g15daemon through the Ubuntu Software Center, I found myself with one big problem. I migrated from windows just now, and there, I had my macro keys(the extra ones) bound to CTRL+W, CTRL+T and to a simulated mouse-wheel scroll so I could navigate the web more easily. How would I go about doing that? I figured, if I used the System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts thingy and bound my key, in my case XF86Launch5, to a command similar to "simulate keypress CTRL+W"(I know it's totally wrong, just to give you an idea), I might be able to get it working again. Only problem is, I can't find anything like that. Any of you has any clue about it? I googled but I only find C++/Java/coding related results, which are not exactly what I need to do.

I'm witting a piece of code that needs to read key presses. However I cannot use them as stream, but rather need discrete reads. The code is to simulate an io board interface. So When I press say "d" I need to read it in instantly, not wait for return. I've tried sdl, but no luck (I'm reading in a thread and it causes some problems) I'm using linux so can't use conio.h functions, I've tired gatch from cureses but this still waits for return.So in C/c++ is there a way I can read instant key presses.

I have a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch which is stopping Ubuntu 9.10 from getting the EDID information from the monitor on startup.The resolution at startup is 800x600 and lower resolutions are available but nothing higher.I have plugged the monitor directly into the computer and the screen is OK and gives all the resolutions available from the monitor.I got the EDID information from the monitor when it was plugged directly into the computer using "sudo get-edid". Then I put this information into the Xorg.conf file and did a restart with the KVM switch in place.
However the screen resolution was back at 800x600 with nothing higher available.The xorg.conf file still has the information from the "edid" request so it has not reverted to the old file.I understand that 9.10 does not have an xorg.conf file but I upgraded from 8.?? to 9.10 and I think that it came from there originally.The question is how can I get/force 9.10 to read and use the information from the xorg.conf file so that I can get the resolution I want?Or is there another way?I tried to pipe the output of edid into a file whilst logged in as root :
Code: [sudo get-edid > /etc/X11/edidinfo.edid
bash: /etc/X11/edidinfo.edid: Permission denied][ So that I could refer to it in the xorg.conf file - Why was permission denied?

Last week I installed minimal Ubuntu Karmic with XBMC live on my HTPC. I'm connecting to my fileserver thru a wireless interface and although that works like a charm most of the time, every once in a while the interface doesn't come up during boot and the PC 'hangs'.
I then press ctrl+alt+del and the pc reboots and the Grub2 boot menu appears, I suppose because the previous boot didn't go well. However, the boot menu doesn't have a timeout, I have to press <enter> to continue booting. My wireless USB-keyboard isn't working at that stage yet, so I'm unable to continue.
This is my /etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT="10"
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount,setvolume loglevel=0"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
How can I get it such that Grub always times out, even after a failed boot?
