Fedora Hardware :: Mapping The Windows Key To Something Useful?
Nov 21, 2010
Code:
HP Mini 210
Fedora 14 xfce
2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:36:08 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Currently when I press the windows key nothing happens. However, I can get some events from this key. xev displays the following event information:
Code:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
root 0xaa, subw 0x0, time 1744572, (161,180), root:(584,386),
tate 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
Samba up and running on my pc. pc runs FC12 with kde. A laptop has win vista. The pc can access the shares on the laptop but the laptop has authentication issues to access the pc. Note that windows doesnt enforce authentication forincoming network connections.Using the system-config-samba util i tried to map a windows user to the unix user "feduser". The laptop (named LAPPY) has a user (lapuser) which has on windows no password.What should I tell samba config what the windows username should be? lapuser or LAPPYlapuser doesnt work because when accessing the pc via the laptop, the authentication fails. The only auth that is successful is when choosing the same winusername as the unix username.
Secondary, id like to setup the laptop so that the user doesnt have to provide a name and password, or at least not more then once in the lifetime of the laptop. Note that you cant provide an empty password to system-config-samba. How is that possible?
Strange but not really on issue imho:the samba - KDE control module(kcmshall4) (and the smb.conf) shows 2 shares: the homedirs and the data dir the samba server configurator (system-config-samba) shows only the datadir.
how I can map a drive/directory on a remote Centos 5.3 server in my office to my local Windows XP at home. Is there any guides on how this could be done? eg. VPN, SAMBA, NFS, etc..
I've found that simply sharing a folder on my Ubuntu PC with other Linux PC's on my network proves unwieldy from an 'ownership' standpoint. For example, if I create a file from my Ubuntu Laptop and save it onto my Ubuntu Desktop 'share', I find that if I try to access it from the Desktop that the group/ownership prevents my access so I end up having to chown it. I'm finding sharing in a mixed environment to be a pain.
So, I recently configured an old desktop box with FreeNAS and I want to move all of my files from my main Ubuntu PC over to it, and have those files accessible from various clients (both Windoze and Linux) from thoughout my network. Now I've got the FreeNAS all set up and shared, and I'm ready to transfer files to it. What's the best way to mount Mr. FreeNAS on my various desktops and laptops such that sharing is not a problem from a security (group/owner) standpoint? Should I be using CIFS/SAMBA or is NFS mounting better? Will there be sharing problems or ownership issues when accessing from Windows?
I'm have a server running linux ver: Linux version 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl (bhcompile@daffy.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-6)) #1 Wed Oct 29 15:42:51 EST 2003
from my windows xp machine I can see that there are three shared folders using : 1- run then \10.1.2.4 I can map tow of these folders to a network drive using the root credentials. but when I tried to map the third one (it was mapped before) I got the following errors: first asking to insert the password again [URL]
then: asking to put the password but as a gust [URL]
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7 (Wubi). Windows Networking shows all devices on the network (computers, routers, etc). Is there a way to get Ubuntu to do this (Would prefer GUI)?
I'st just installed 10.10 on Virtual Box. I'm trying to map some windows drives (On the host) permanently. Using Places->Connect To Server etc I can connect to my windows box no problem and see the directories etc in Nautilus (2.32.0) all ok.But rebooting the system results in my having to log in again - I've looked atis that the only what to get this to work permanently?Also, and more importantly K-Develop (And possibly others) can't see this mapped drive when I want to open a file from it? What would be the problem here?
I am currently trying to set up a Samba domain server. In the Samba-HOWTO-Collection I found an example file.(Point 3.3.3.1) In the explanations of the example below, the author says I need to map UNIX Groups to NT Groups. He writes a shell-script of how one could do it, but when I copy it and then execute it, I get the error:
Bad option: rid=512 Bad option: rid=513 Bad option: rid=514
The other groups do get mapped, just the Domain Admins, Domain Users and Domain Guests dont. This is the shell from the HOWTO:
#!/bin/bash #### Shell-Skript f ̈r sp ̈tere Verwendung aufbewahren net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512 net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users rid=513 net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nobody rid=514
I can access my windows my documentsmusic by mounting my windows drive and browsing to it. I can then playwatch my movies and pics in Ubuntu.But what I really want to be able to do is re-map the Ubunbu docs folder like so:
Ubuntu Pics = Windows My Documents pics. Ubuntu Videos = Windows My Documents Videos.
I'm not very unix savy so I've been using Ubuntu tweak PersonalDefault Folder Locations setting and browsing to my Windows folders. But it doesn't work.I have managed to make a desktop 'short cut' and that works but I'd rather set the system wide default document folders.
I need to read many files very fast: reading them from the disk leads to bad performance!!I copied the files into /dev/shm, being sure that they were copied in memory, but the performance didn't improve.Then I created a tmp file system in /mnt (/mnt/tmpfs) and I mounted it withmount -osize=400m tmpfs /mnt/tmpfs -t tmpfsand copied the file in. But the performance still remain almost the same.I've the doubt that I didn't copied the file in memory!The question is: Did I make the right things?I run a FC 11 64 bit on a dual procs server with 16 Gb memory
Latest kernel update since Fedora 2.6.33 are mapping all my NFS "shares" twice (two sets of icons, etc.). All work, but why is this happening - was fine previously.
I have the Cap Locks key remapped as an additional Ctrl key. (I did that using the GUI System->Preference->Keyboard). This works fine all the time except when issuing one command to emacs. If I do CapLocks+Alt+ it does nothing yet Ctrl+Alt+ indents as needed. Since CapLocks should be the same as Ctrl I do not know what is causing the problem or how to solve it.
After a while away from Linux, I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my home PC. Here is the problem: The terminal STINKS in general. Unfortunately, it appears that nothing has changed in the last 3 years in this particular area. I remember now that the terminal (keyboard mappings, colors) was one of the reasons I went with Fedora for my home PC a few years ago.
Short question: WHY is Ubuntu's so different, and why hasn't it been improved? I have a standard 104-key keyboard, yet when I try to edit with VI, the arrow keys don't map properly. You'd think that user feedback alone would have fixed this over 3 years time. Anyhow, how do I fix it?
The white background, minimal color terminal isn't very good. But I really need help getting the various keys (delete, home, end, arrow keys) to map properly. I went with Ubuntu because it seemed to be more ready "out of the box" and I don't need cutting edge like Fedora offers. I wanted more stability, etc.
Have been configuring fedora 14 to connect to a windows domain server and have been successful so far....am now on mapping network drives when the user logs in via the gnome gui.
If there is a better method of mapping network drives on login
After reading up on PAM_MOUNT and using that for mapping drives on login I have been able to successfully map them, but it doesn't do this automatically on gnome login.
Problem is as follows: It works when i connect / login using the terminal but requires me to enter the password once (even when i logged into the user account on gnome).
How I want it to work:I would like the mapping to occur when i login via gnome so that i dont have to open a terminal once logged in to gnome to map the network drives. I would like it to login without having to type the password again as the user is already logged in
System: F15-64bit, Intel Core i7 on Asus P6T mobo. I've upgraded to 2.6.40, and I'm regretting it!While 2.6.38 still works fine (apart from the usual random panics), 2.6.40 gives errors on boot, and reliably panics soon after login. Early in the boot I get the message "IOMMU: mapping reserved region failed" 8 times. Then boot appears to proceed as normal, at least once the nvidia blob is removed in favour of Nouveau (otherwise, forget it...).
After graphical login, the system freezes within a couple of minutes.After a text login, the system freezes within seconds with a panic, starting "BUG: Scheduling while atomic: swapper". A forum search for the IOMMU message leads to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Commo...IOMMU_handling but this talks about old 32-bit releases without BIOS virtualization support.
I'm a recently proud owner of a new Aspire AS3810T with Fedora 12 installed, when it boots up before entering the boot screen when it loads I see this error message:IOMMU: Mapping reserved region failedHow can i fix this error? It's quite frustrating
I'm running f13 on eeeeeeepc netbook .... gnome and compiz The <FN> keys that control volume are not working, but brightness, for example, works fine. The keyboard settings in gnome do not seem to allow me to set the volume to the <fn> key combos.
I have found that the <Enter> key on the numeric keypad does not act the same as the <Enter> key on the main keyboard. Confirming a file copy in Gnome Commander for example. Using xev I found the following
Quote:
Main <Enter> ------------ KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x5600002, root 0x25d, subw 0x5600003, time 44244330, (50,55), root799,113),
[code]....
So based on some research it seems I should be able to edit my ~/.Xmodmap to assign the same key (Return) to keycode 104 - the keypad <Enter> key. Except - I have no .Xmodmap. Did it move in Ubuntu 9.10? Do I have to create it? or does Ubuntu 9.10 use a "better" method of handling key mappings?
I am very very productive with the new Windows 7 taskbar. The ability to press Winkey + # to either:
1) Minimize that window if it is the window that currently has focus set to. 2) Restore the window the key combination is pressed but the window is not currently open. For example, if Firefox is the third tab across the bottom of the taskbar, and not currently open, I would like <Super> + 3 to restore this window for me, instead of having to do alt + tab, tab, tab, tab [OH! Now I finally got to it!]. I just work much faster with this convenient shortcut.
The Problems
1) I need to know how Ubuntu remembers the current location of an item on the taskbar. It must, as you are able to re-arrange items with a drag of the mouse. I need this to find out what item #, so when I press <Super> + num I can figure out what is the numth window across the bottom currently. 2) I need to know how to execute something like [psuedo-code for bash script]:[ie: How do I minimize? How do I check if a window is currently the focused window? How do I make it the current window?]
I am a programmer, I am willing to figure this out for myself at least partially, but how the hell do I find #1 without diving into thousands of lines of source? I could use some push in the right direction. I just switched to Ubuntu a month ago [from Windows, but I was very much a power-user and know my way around it well].
I've found several how-to's, but the "problem" is that all the ones I've found up to now involve using xmodmap. I'm not radically opposed to that, but, with debian, for some reason, I don't need it. I don't have a Xmodmap file, and yet, the special keys have their "names", instead of NoSymbol (on xev). Anyone knows where the settings are, whenever one does not use xmodmap?To make things weirder I've tried to create a Xmodmap to use with arch from debian, but it get the names all wrong, for some reason. (I used xmodmap -pke > .Xmodmap). I guess that whatever debian does, it has nothing to do with xmodmap then.
But I think it may not be possible. Besides not using xmodmap, on debian I have the correct keyboard layout set without having any command (well, at least not on my openbox startup script... it could be somewhere along all those "deeper" startup scripts, on /etc/rc.#/, I guess... I'm going to check there now), while on arch I have a "setxkbmap" on my openbox startup script.
I just ran my first Lubuntu session using a USB SD card install.Not bad overall.I would like to re-map two keys on my netbook to make this Lubuntu usable.I have learned that these two apps are the way to go.xevxmodmap Are they built into Linux?If they are, how do I run them?How do I get to a command line to run them once Lubuntu has loaded and I'm at the main screen?
Is it possible to connect local folders to the remote windows machine via RDP session?For example Microsoft's RDP Client has a feature that will connect local hard drives to the remote machine when you open a RDC.I need to copy files but I can't use smbmout because of firewall.
have a workstation, that, even after a fresh reboot, has a constant network activity.I used Wireshark on the machine, and i saw there is a constant HTTP trafic(even after a fresh reboot).I just know that my local TCP/44188 port is used to send the HTTP trafic to the web server on Internet.However; I don't know which process is doing that.How can I identify the binary responsible for using this particular TCP port and sending data?
I am new working with vyatta routers and my problem is next:I am installing 5 ip cameras and i am using vyatta router. someone could help me how can i access remotrly by internet to my internal lan where are my cameras instaled. i have read about dnat but i'm not sure if also need to configure ports tha i previosly asigned to cameras i get confuse with that because only find mapping configuration ip address but not ports.
I cannot set mod3 to the Shift_R key with xmodmap. Code: matthew@lokal:~/.fvwm/Default$ xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Shift_R" X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 118 (X_SetModifierMapping) Value in failed request: 0x17 Serial number of failed request: 11 Current serial number in output stream: 11
we have configured snv in our server but when we tried to access our svn folder from client its saying path not found error.This is because apache is mapped to tomcat so when we tried to access svn by default it looks to some other path and displaying path not found error.My question is how to restrict apache from forwarding its request to tomcat or else how to stop the tomcat service. I am using centos and i tried with /etc/init.d/tomcat5 stop but it is not getting stopped.
