General :: Where Are Special Key Mapping Saved
Aug 12, 2010
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 have some tables that contain special characters from different languages like German, Italian, Russian, Spanish etc. They are stored and displayed correctly.
When want to backup my DB like "mysqldump -h localhost-u root -p dbname > dbname.sql" the special characters are lost, they are not correctly stored nor displayed in the sql file. This means there is no possible restoration.

I have my email on a separate partition so that my email doesn't get destroyed when I do new linux installs (I have emails from 5 years ago now). I also keep my sylpheed email addressbooks. This partition is writable by anybody and I have also made my user the owner of this partition during each linux install (media/email). When I set up sylpheed I tell it that my email is in /media/email and then it is able to write incoming messages to that location. The problem I am having is that I make symbolic links for my addressbooks from ~/.sylpheed* to /media/email using this:cd ~/.sylpheed*rm addrbook-000001.xmlln -s /media/email/addrbook-000001.xml addrbook-000001.xmlSylpheed finds my addressbook ok on my email partition but changes that symbolic link to a file on ~ when it writes new addresses. What am I doing wrong...I want it to write new addresses to my email partition?

I wish to make a shortcut which write my name in Thunderbird.Well, my name has an accent in it and I'm really fed up with doing "Insert -> Characters and Symbols" at the end of each of each of my messages, either in my languages or in English.So, I'm looking for a way to write it in just one click or one command.

I am trying to make specifically Norwegian characters appear properly. Right now they look like this:
[URL]
Characters like turns the same. This is a font that I downloaded called PT Sans. The letters I want are included, they just don't appear right in the GNOME environment, it seems. They work just fine in other applications, such as OOo Writer. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

The last few times I had to restart my server, my iptables file was never saved and I had to load it from the backup. I always issue /etc/init.d/iptables save after any changes but for some reason it loads the default iptables file that came with the server.Any ideas on what to change?I would also like to use a default boot file that starts or restarts services like squid, nscd, postfix, iptables, etc - where can I edit that?

I am running gentoo openbox(rox file manager and desktop) I installed Digikam and Amarok. But I have problems with files which include special character in their names(such as �,�, �,ğ... ) The files are shown with strange and weird characters in the file dialogs of Digikam and Amarok.
I don't have this problem in other applications. I can create files with special character included. I think some settings do not agree with KDE4. How can I solve this problem? Does anyone have an idea? I also installed KDE systemsettings program but could not find a relevant config option for character encoding.

We are creating PDFs from different sources using PHP, Zend_PDF class and Zend server (based on apache2). Developping on windows the PDFs are OK. If we deploy the application on testing server running SuseLinux the special characters ( ) don't show. We use 1 of the standard fonts, HELVETICA and have tested without success COURIER.
The system
Do you have an idea what to do or try?
OK - it turned out to be a coding question. I had thought that some system variable might cause the problem but we simply had to clean the input data and got it working.

I need to search for the following pattern with GREP in a text file:
So I tried already:
But none of those works...I think probably because GREP doens't like the special character > in the middle of the serach pattern.
At the end I just need to now if GREP found the pattern in the file or not, so it should give me a 0 or a 1 back, once I check the value of the variable "?" after using the grep command.

I have quite a strange issue with (supposedly) my keyboard mappings.
while using GNOME session:
lowercase 'v' is not working as it should - no keypress is reaching apps; while I'm holding V key depressed, gnome-terminal console shows a hollow cursor (just like when input focus is in some other window) and nothing is printed; uppercase 'V' is working just fine (that is Shift+V); if I press AltGr + V, a lowercase 'v' is printed; if I'm typing quickly, sometimes pressing V key to get a lowercase 'v' is not just being ignored, but also the next symbol typed is swallowed and not printed out; this issue is present for the USA keyboard layout, as well as for the Russian keyboard layout.
while using TTY console (Alt+Ctrl+F1, etc):
everything works as it should (i.e. lowercase ' is printed whenever I press it);
no problems with the physical keyboard.
I haven't done any editing of any gnome/X configs and/or keyboard mappings.
This is my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux version:
$ uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:05:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Update - stty output:
$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 43; columns 151; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = M-^?; eol2 = M-^?; swtch = M-^?; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W;

I am working on a few different Linux related self-education projects, and I'm trying to stump myself as much as possible so I can learn as quickly as possible. Using VMWare, I have several Linux and Windows flavors I am using for various purposes. To the point, I have an Ubuntu server (text only) and a Fedora desktop installed, and I need to figure out how to map a drive on the Fedora VM so that I can access it on the Ubuntu server VM. I have installed Samba on both, and I can send a ping from one to the other with no problems. I guess I just need some help with the command line syntax?
On a related note, I have NOT been able to figure out how DNS works in a setup like this, so when I say I can ping them, it is by IP address only. I'll work on the DNS stuff soon, but for right now, I just need access to my Fedora VM, unless for some reason you can ONLY set this up via DNS.
Ubuntu server 192.168.28.133
Fedora desktop - 192.168.28.130
Folder I need to access: [Fedora desktop]/home/[username]/downloads/

Using squid, can you proxy the [URL] through the site [URL]. From the end-user perspective they would go to and maintain the [URL] and squid would proxy the application at [URL]. More simply the application available at [URL] would load into the namespace/domain [URL].

I would like to have on unix-like platforms, the same functionality as to Windows 7 Library folders (aka virtual folders) you see in Windows Explorer.Gnome Nautilus do that kind of virtual folders through saved search. But I want a system-wide solution, not a gnome-wide solution.Is there a tool that creates virtual folders from the concatenation of multiple search queries (the result of multiple find commands ?). The solution should index files for better performances and you should be able to define the default folder for copy operations.

Newbie here. I'm thinking about going from Ubuntu to Slackware and I just saw on Wikipedia that there is a number of projects that maintain GNOME binaries especially for Slack. So that made me wonder, why is that needed? What if I download a bare version of Slack and then build the standard GNOME version from source? Would that produce problems?
