In readline(3) I should be able to map Control-Backspace to the same function as Control-W (unix-kill-rubout). Regardless of what I put in ~/.inputrc I'm unable to get this to be recognized.
C-: unix-kill-rubout
...for instance does not work. Can I map Control-Backspace to the unix-kill-rubout in readline?
I have described my issue in detail here: [URL] basically, I am having a mysql server which keeps piling up on it's unix domain socket connections.
here's a small example of netstat as it looks now (count about 80-100 connections paired with httpd):
Code:
Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established)
Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node PID/Program name Path
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 3521428 12429/mysqld /tmp/mysql.sock
[Code].....
This is indeed a mysql server issue as far as I managed to debug it but until a workaround/fix is found I need to have my server responsive and the first idea that comes to my mind is to somehow kill those stray connections. as described in the mysql topic mentioend above, killing from mysql will not work. I need to kill them from outside mysql. I have setup a crontab script to kill and restart the mysql server when it cannot connect and it runs every 5 min. however this only lead to mysql being down sooner rather than later because in many cases just kill -9 and then service start mysql does not do the job (it's either part of the same issue of mysql or another issue). basically I need to manually kill mysqld instances a bunch of times until it's ok, OR, if that doesn't work, stop everything that is using mysql, wait a few minutes, and then start mysql. so I ditched that script and now I am manually restarting mysql server every ~ 24 hours.
so basically it's a pain. if I were to kill the stray connections however, I will not have to bother every day with restarting mysql.

One of the very few things I miss from Windows is that when you press LeftShift+Del the delete key acts like the backspace key, in other words you can use Del to delete forwards and LeftShift+Del to delete backwards.
I've been reading man pages such as xmodmap and used xev to get keycodes but I can't work out how to map LeftShift+Del to Backspace.
Can someone tell me how to do this please?
I enabled backspace in vim by "set backspace=eol,start" and it worked. But if I close the window and open up another one, the backspace is automatically disabled again. Is there a way to enable backspace once and for all?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use bash shell and sometimes all of a sudded, my Backspace key stops working (when this happens Ctrl + Backspace still works fine) I am not sure why this happens, but it also carries over to any vim sessions that I use from the shell. To my surprise, getting a fresh shell does not help, and the problem seems to go away as abruptly as it started.
This is what the typed characters look like, each Backspace keypress is shown by a ^? on the shell

the process is mcelog. When I do as root kill -9 2323 which is pid of mcelog the process is not killed. I tried doing the same from top, press K and enter pid of mcelog. doing ps auwx | grep mcelog I see there are several results. I tried killing all of them like kill -9 2355 2341 3425 2345.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having intermittent problems where the screen will freeze in Ubuntu. I've tried using Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to restart the X-server, though this does nothing. When the freeze occurs, there's a small square of black dashes around the mouse pointer - maybe 1 inch in size. These dashes look a lot like a 2d barcode. The rest of the screen looks normal, but I can't move the mouse and none of the keyboard shortcuts work to do anything. However, music that I begin playing before the freeze continues to play, which seems to indicate it hasn't stalled up completely.
I've noticed a similar freezing problem when I'm using Windows 7. That is, I see the same barcode like dashes around the mouse pointer when it freezes up. So I'm guessing it's either a driver or hardware problem. I thought if it was a hardware problem though, the whole computer might stop working (i.e. music would stop playing)? The video card I am using is an Nvidia, and I believe it's in the 7600 range. In Ubuntu I have the drivers for the card set to the latest available (proprietary). Ideally I'd like to be able to continue using the proprietary drivers. Is there any known issues with the drivers for this model graphics card
I recently switched from Windows XP to stable Debian w/KDE on my work dell B120 laptop. I have been trying to diagnose freezes. In the evenings I have been leaving an SSH connection to my home computer. I leave a command running that writes the current time to a file every ten minutes. The past two nights it has stopped writing the time after a couple hours (not at the exact same time), and I am no longer able to ssh from my home computer to my work computer.
When I get back to work, the work laptop is frozen. CTRL+Alt+Backspace does not help, neither does CTRL+ALT+F1. Ctrl+Alt+SysRq works sometimes. It has not yet frozen while I have been present.
I tried disabling the screen saver and monitor power controls in KDE, thinking that those only come on when I am away, so they might be the cause. But it did not help.
I took the last time recorded by my ssh connection and looked through the logs trying to find something that happened at that time, but the only event occuring around the time the SSH connection dropped was a chron job that runs every hour. As far as I can tell, the chron job does not actually do anything but write to the log each hour.
So obviously I need to post more information. What would be helpful? Which log or configuration files might contain clues?
I see these lines in my logs:
kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
imklog 3.18.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
It appears at 6:25 AM each day between when the SSH connection drops and when I arrive in the morning. Do I need to restart logging?
I am trying to use my Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse (it has left button, right button and the wheel button) in Ubuntu 9.04.I would like to use the wheel button to perform the same task as backspace key in firefox browser and file browser. I have hunted around the net for the past two weeks and found many articles on imwheel and editing x11config files but they all are for 5 of 7 button mice. I have installed and used imwheel -c which tells me that it is "wheel: Left Button 6". However as a total beginner with Linux I am not sure what to do from here. I am hoping that someone would be kind enough to give me a reasonably detailed explanation of what I need to do. If someone could spend some time to list what files I need to edit and what I need to insert into them for this mouse I would be grateful.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of a problem installing the readline.so.6 on my CentOS machine. I have a 64-bit system and already have readline.so.5 installed. I need version 6 in order to run an application called mothur [URL] as it won't compile without it. I have downloaded the package and when I used the "make install" command I received the following output:

I can find eC-f and eC-b in /etc/inputrc and they work. However, I find the eC- key combination a bit of a finger reach and I use forward-word and backward-word a lot so I wanted to add a key modifier combination that was easier. I have tried several different versions of key binding in ~/.inputrc but nothing seems to work. Here is the latest version of my .inputrc:
# Bill's inputrc for ReadLine
# '$include' directs readline to the file
# with 'universal' settings.
# Place 'export /etc/inputrc' in .bash_profile
[code]....
Meta (ALT) -b works (does backward-word) for some reason but M-C-b doesn't. Meta (ALT) -f gives me the window menu, as it should. I don't want to change that. But ~/.inputrc gives me nothing with ALT(Meta)-CTRL-f. I was kind of hoping to figure out how to substitute M-C- for e on my local or users .inputrc and readline for many of my user's bindings.
as the title describes - php5-readline causes Segmentation fault on opensuse 11.2, on both my desktop and laptop, on all listed versions of php - 5.2.9, 5.3.0 and 5.3.1

Import Error: No module named readline
configure: error: readline library not found If you have readline already installed, see config.log for details on the failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory. Use --without-readline to disable readline support. Now I tried to yum install readline-devel and the result was failure as below:

Ctrl-c doesn't always work to kill the current process (for instance, if that process is busy in certain network operations). In that case, you just see "^C" by your cursor, and can't do much else.What's the easiest way to force that process to die now without losing my terminal?
Summary of answers below:Usually, you can Ctrl-z to put the process to sleep, and then do "kill -9 process-pid", where you find the process's pid with 'ps' and other tools.On Bash (and possibly other shells) you can do "kill -9 %1" (or '%N' in general) which is easier. If Ctrl-z doesn't work, you'll have to open another terminal and kill from there.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a humbling experience for a long time MS admin/tech.I am wanting to build a file server fr my home network. So, I downloaded and installed FreeBSD 8.1 last night.Wanting a more familiar interface, I downloaded and tried to install KDE. It loads and asks for language. Then I select "Install kubuntu".
The kubuntu logo and a progress meter pop up for a while. Eventually the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I have to reboot. If I take the CD out it boots to FreeBSD.Am I missing something? Kubuntu never asks anything regarding partitioning. Is FreeBSD an os like DOS and kubuntu a GUI like Win 3.1 or is kubuntu more like XP with a GUI built in to the os? If it is the latter, how do I get it to kill the FreeBSD install?"Try kubuntu without installing" does the same thing.
