Fedora :: Open X Term Seems To Disable "t" Key (Gnome)?
Jul 22, 2009
I have been running Fedora Core 6 for about a year and a half with no problems. But now here is one that has me stumped. When I boot the system (IBM T30 laptop) and log in with my user name every thing works iike it should. I get my desk top and tool bars. If I click on my tool bar and open a terminal session (xterm according to echo $TERM ) the t key does not work. I have tried to open a VI editior session and the t key still does not work. However if I open any other application, (text processor, web browser, spread sheet, etc.) the t key now works. Also if I log out of the system and log in as root the t key now works in a terminal sessiion. I have tried to find my .profile file to find out if a key binding has gone bonkers but no luck.

I like using kopete, but I want to use it in GNOME. When doing so, I have 2 problems:
1) When I login to my computer, kopete starts up, and kde wallet asks fro my password for the wallet, in order for kopete to login to my accounts. This is very annoying. I find it inefficient to have to enter my password twice when turning on my computer.
2) Everytime a buddy signs on/off, a notification (or sometimes numerous notifications) run down the center of my screen and cover all my active windows.I want to disable knotify and kdewallet to alleviate these problems.

In Fedora 15, when I plug a USB drive, Nautilus will automatically open and show whats inside of it. I'm working in a project where I have to plug and unplug USB drives many times, and Nautilus opening every time is really annoying. I tried to use gconf-edit and set the keys apps>nautilus>preferences>media_automount and media_automount_open to false, but it didn't work.

I'm running Fedora 15, and am trying to run a program that uses gsoap/soapcpp2 2.7.17 to communicate with different parts of the program. As far as I know everything has compiled correctly and I am using the same versions of the required libraries as several working installations. However, every single time the program tries to open a port, the program is unable to do so. This happens no matter what port I specify.
if there is anything in fedora that would limit or disable the ability of the program to open a port to start communicating. I have tried disabling the firewall with no change to the behaviour.

I have installed open office using yum install.
To install OpenOffice you can use yum like:
connect to the internet
open a console
su -
root password
yum install openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-draw openoffice.org-writer
(all on one line)
This will install the man packages for Openoffice. To see all packages available for OpenOffice use:
yum list openoffice*
I am running fedora 14.
I have no openoffice icons on the desktop, or items in the menus.

I was trying to customise my desktop, and I disabled gnome-panel as I don't need it (and auto-hide wasn't working). Now when I boot up I can't open anything as the "run" dialog using alt + q (changed shortcut from alt + f2) doesn't load, nor does the terminal via shortcuts. I'm using Compiz, and disabled nautilus drawing the desktop so Compiz could do it for me.
Do you know what I can do to get this back or to get the "run" dialog to open again? EDIT: Skype ran as start up, so I got a friend to send me a link, which opened my web browser. I then downloaded a file, and viewed it in nautilus which meant I could get to the terminal and run gnome-panel from there. I can now get it back easily when needed. Do you know if there is a way I can get the "run" dialog to work without needing the gnome-panel running?

I suspect this is a Gnome 3 problem and not a Fedora problem, but I have no way to separate the two here. I cannot upload an image from my computer to Weebly or to Google Plus, but strangely enough, I can upload one to Picasa. The sequence of actions goes something like this:
1. Open Weebly editing interface, add a picture element, click on the element to edit/add a picture. It then gives you a choice: from your local computer, from the web, etc.
2. Click on 'from local computer' and my computer opens the Open File Dialog Window.I am guessing that is its name, it is the same window you get when opening a file in any other application, like Gedit or LibreOffice.
3. Navigate to the image I want to upload and double click on it or select 'Open'.
4. Nothing happens.
I am able to upload images from my laptop, running Linux Mint 11 with Gnome 2.
It sounds to me like the Open File Window is not passing on the necessary information to the browser. I have no idea why it works in Picasa and not in Google+ or Weebly.
I don't really expect anyone to have a solution just yet, but I wanted to mention it somewhere, and I didn't see any Gnome.org forums. On the other hand, if someone does have a solution, great.
This is by no means a knock on Gnome 3, it is fine with me and I Iike it a lot more than I thought I would.

I'm not sure if this is a feature of Gnome, compviz, or some other part of Fedora, but whenever I place my mouse in the upper right corner of the desktop, all of my open windows zoom out to a Mac-like Expose feature which allows me to select which window I'd like to change focus to. Here is an example of what this looks like: [URL]
Does anyone know how to disable this feature? I actually find it highly annoying, as I tend to place the mouse in that region either on accident or unintentionally, especially when accessing my machine remotely via VNC. I've had a lot of trouble googling for combinations of "Gnome expose" and "Gnome desktop expose", I have a feeling I am calling this feature by the wrong name. how to do this myself - install the Compiz Configuration Settings Manager (the package name is "ccsm") and disable the "Scale" plugin.

I've been trying to remove Ubuntu from the boot process.A lot of different resources show a lot of different solutions, none which worked for me.I've started out with a base server (9.10) and added a minimal GNOME installation. Now I want to prevent GNOME from starting unless I specify to do so (startx)! Using sysv-rc-conf I've disabled GDM for any run level. Then I have installed BUM to remove GNOME there as well.

How do I disable the Alt+F8 shortcut combination in Gnome? This shortcut does "resize window". However I don't want Gnome to override that shortcut, I want to be able to use it in IntelliJ. Anyway, the obvious way to disable it, that is, remove it in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" option, does not disable it. Alt+F8 still does the resize window thing.How do I REALLY disable it?

I'm running 9.10 on my laptop hooked up to an external monitor via HDMI. However gnome places the name of each screen in the upper left corner of each screen so that my laptop has a "laptop 13" icon and my external has an "ACI 22"" icon blocking gnome's Applications Menu. Is there anyway to disable these icons?
They are detailed here: [URL] "GNOME 2.24 has upgraded its screen resolution controls to make this possible. Utilising the new XRandR 1.2 specification from X.Org, this dialogue enables users to easily set up individual monitors in a number of configurations. Monitors are named and the names appear in the top left corner of the screen for easy identification."

I wanted to know if there's a way to remove the icons (including the ubuntu icon in the Applications Places System menu).
I've followed directions in [URL] but this only works for icons under the system menu.
I wanted to have a clean, text only feel in my Ubuntu 9.10 computer. i'm using gnome Version: 2.28.1 by the way.

I was browsing the Internets trying to figure out how to completely disable the right-click button on my mouse. I am running openSUSE 11.3 with just Gnome and using a basic USB Dell model mouse with a scroll wheel. I am creating a Kiosk image and I have everything locked down except when a user is in Firefox they can still use the right-click button to bring up the menu to Bookmark this page and Save Page As, etc (If you right-click a webpage in Firefox you'll see what I'm talking about). I thought I could find an add-on for Firefox to disable this behavior but no such luck. I did find some references for Debian and Fedora, other distros besides openSUSE where you can modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to disable the right mouse button. When I look in that directory on my openSUSE 11.3 system I just see /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install.
how can I disable the right-click ability on my mouse? This is the last step and I'll have a nice locked down Kiosk image ready to go running openSUSE 11.3.

How to permanently disable the gnome-keyring-daemon.
I've seen posts where there was a work around to store passwords in clear text. That's not a real solution. I've seen posts where killing the process and removing ~/.gnome2/keyrings is a temporary solution until next time you log in or reboot machine. Removing the package, will force removal of the whole kitchen sink. That's too intrusive.
There must be a way to stop this thing from starting up, ever.
I tried commenting out the entries in the /etc/pam.d/* files that refer to "pam_gnome_keyring.so", and have also unchecked the 3 keyring related entries under System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications, which are affiliated with these 3 files:
But I still get this one process once I log into the console window:
There must be one more file somewhere that says, "hey when someone logs in and starts up gdm, start the gnome keyring daemon".
