so i have this master sword .cur file in my downloads. i have ubuntu 10.10 and would like the master sword as my cursor it would fit amazingly with the entire zelda theme ive been putting together...walkthrough maybe?
im trying to get a custom cursor (Master-Sword.cur) as my cursor for ubuntu 10.10. I did manage to change it to a .png file (Master-Sword.png.) I made a copy as to not mess up the original (Master-Sword-copy.png.) I have xcursorgen but not entirely sure how to use it. I've been into the terminal and have typed "xcursorgen <32x32> <0-x> <0-y> <Master-Sword-copy.png> and it tells me errors upon errors. Am I typing it in wrong? I'm not too good with xcursorgen or using the terminal I only know a few commands.
Im running netbook remix on a eeepc 1005ha. It is my only OS and Im loving it except for one obnoxious quirk. It randomly cuts text and randomly pastes it. If there is something in the clipboard, it will usually paste that, but just as often it will cut random text and paste that. The pastes occur when the cursor focus jumps back to the location of the cursor on the screen. I dont know a better way to phrase that, but thats what it is doing. Say... I put the cursor over the word "pastes" in the paragraph above... even though Im typing in this paragraph, the focus will "jump" to the cursors physical locale (the word "pastes") and then paste whatever is in the clipboard. If the cursor is outside of the textbox, the page will jump to the bottom.
This behavior occurs across programs and in any place text can be entered. I can find no rhyme or reason for it... it just... happens. Sometimes even when Im away from my computer, so its not like Im hitting some key on accident. I have loved everything about this ubuntu distro, but this issue is just toany obnoxious. Writing psych papers on this thing is going to be near impossible if I dont get this fixed before I go back to school.
Am running Ubuntu NBR as the sole OS on my Dell Mini 9. Switched over in March to 9.10 NBR. Everything worked fine.Upgraded to 10.04 when it was released. It's awesome EXCEPT for this busy cursor thing.As soon as I log in, all the time my cursor is the spinning wheel of busyness.... It works just as a normal cursor would - my computer also does not seem to be slower due to any operations.If I open an application, the cursor will behave as usual within the window but if I more my cursor to the title bar or switch out of the application, the "busy cursor" resumes.
I changed my cursors. However the firefox browser is having the black one.gtk is the theme I choosed.gimp is fine, the theme.I found that kspread is not ok, it does not follows the main choosed x11 theme, all other apps does well the selection of the x11 theme that has been selected.
I have a very affordable Linux Alpha 400 2.4. I need to change back to the black regular cursor. What I am getting know is a red cursor that does not let me indent and write, when I do it brings the text under this sentence along with it.
When I take a screenshot in Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome) using application "Take Screenshot" I get a screenshow this a default mouse cursor, but when i take a screenshot, cursor of mouse was another, for instance, cursor of mouse, which happen when window is resizing. How i can do screenshot with current cursor mouse, but not default
I am working with scientific linux 4 with specification Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-67.EL.cernsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 16:22:33 CET 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. How can I change my cursor color from black to green in gedit
Is it possible to change a color of the text cursor for all GUI applications in GNOME? Now it's black but I want it was blue or red. How can I achieve it
In a wide family of "ancient" text editors, by pressing ^T you erased from the cursor up to the beginning of the following word. If we use '_' to represent the cursor, the thing was like this:
Code:
If I now hold <CNTL> down and press <T>, the result will be
Code:
Want to feel at home with vim. Many times I have consulted and even tried to systematically study vim's man page. Sometimes I consulted it with profit, sometimes not. This is one of the latter.

I just got offshore and was trying to extract csv files with new software and the toughbook went crazy. When i try to boot it up it ends up with the black screen and flashing white x in the middle of the screen.Luckily the company have a back up to do the job but would like to try to resolve it on the rig rather than send it back to Germany
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 When my cursor hovers over an icon for not more than a second, if that, the folder opens; it's the same with links. I barely have to touch Firefox, and it comes up. I'd like to be able to click on a folder rather than just pass over it. Surely there must be a setting that can be change
I would like to increase the speed of my cursor movement. For example, when I press and hold the left or the right arrow when in terminal or a text editor I would like the cursor to move faster. I have tried kbdrate and xset as suggested here:
I've got a problem with my Arch flashdisk. When I start xorg, my mouse cursor keeps moving left until it reaches the edge of the screen, where it stops. I checked the connector, etc., but it didn't help, so I guess it's software-related.What can be causing the problem?
How do I increase the mouse speed in Ubuntu Linux? Running Gnome 2.30.0. I've already maxed out Pointer Speed Sensitivity in the Mouse Preferences control panel. I am not interested in increasing the Acceleration. Is there a config file I can edit to boost it past what the control panel allows?
I know that this mouse can track faster because it does in Windows.
I've recently got a tablet pc and I've got it nicely set up with Jolicloud - an Ubuntu derivative like Mint - but I can't hide the mouse cursor in Gnome. Now, I've read so much about tips and tricks on how to hide the cursor with terminal, X and gconf tricks in my Googling, but NOTHING works!
How do I do this definitely? Edit: Unclutter is not what I want, nor is changing the root X cursor satisfactory, because it is overridden by whatever toolkit you are using.
I have installed ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop.But whenever I keep the cursor on any desktop icon like folder or tabs of some windows it fails to detect the icon and hence i am not able to click it.The minimize maximize buttons are also not recognised and I have to use keyboard shortcut.Is there anything wrong with the system itself?Its a slightly old one having p4 processor and 1 gb ram.
But clients that are connected to me cannot see the cursor on my desktop. I have tried to play with options in clients (Vinagre and TigerVNC viewer) and server with no luck.
P.S. I cannot use standart Vino server because of its poor performance with Gnome3. P.P.S. My system is Fedora 15
I am using Vi editor for editing and configuring my file.I am facing a little problem when there is long file like 3000 lines. Normally i use
Code:
:set number
in vi editor to visible my line number.The problem is when i have to go in the top of the file like say line number one I use k for it and to move down I use j which is too much time consuming. How can i jump directly my cursor to line number 2333 or line number 2600.
I often need to change a small part of long environment variable (especially, e.g., paths), and do it either by pasting the thing into an editor and changing it there, or the equivalent.
Is there some small convenience utility to edit environment variables with a cursor on the command line?
I suppose I could always whip one up, but am hoping there's already something that I'm just not aware of.
My mouse cursor has acquired some strange background image showing what looks to be paragraphs of chinese glyphs (they are too small to make out clearly). This background image is contained in rougly a 1 inch square with the mouse cursor hot spot in the upper left-hand corner. The mouse cursor is visible, but whatever is under those glyphs is covered.
I've tried the mouse configuration gui -- but it says nothing of background images for the mouse. I've also deleted and recreated my xconfig.org file to see if that somehow got mangled. I've been searching the web for a couple of hours, but cant seem to find anything related to my problem.
In my CentOS configuration, when I use vim6.3 to edit a file, then close it, and re-open it, my cursor starts out at the line where I last left off. In my cygwin (on Windows) configuration, when I use vim7.3, I don't get this behavior. The viminfo does exist and does seem to get read (because if I type '0 it will go to my last cursor location - but that is globally and could change the file being edited). I've also looked at the .viminfo file and see it getting updated as expected. In my .vimrc file, I have this:
Quote: set viminfo='100,<50,f1,"500,/100,:100
Note that on the CentOS side if I open foo, then I open bar, then I open foo again, my cursor is in the right place for foo, whereas on cygwin if I do this, my cursor would be at the 1st line of foo.. If I were to type '0, it would actually switch to editing bar and put the cursor where I last left off. Anyhow, this all boils down to asking how I get my cygwin vim to act like my CentOS vim.
