OpenSUSE Install :: Keyboard And Mouse Lost After Update - How To Boot In To Terminal?
Oct 15, 2010I was working on something important in 11.2 and did a "zypper up" in the terminal in the background. I wasn't paying that much attention to it, I believe it was an update to 11.3. After returning to the computer after about one hour the windows were behaving strangely and the machine wasn't very responsive. I decided to reboot. Now at login I have neither mouse nor keyboard. I have switched the keyboard to PS2 model, no difference. If someone could help me with booting to run level 3 from the grub menu perhaps I could change some settings there to make everything work. I really regret doing the update. It would be very important for me to be able to get back in to machine with spending as little time as possible on this. Could I reverse the update? This machine is very important for me and my family for their daily communication, but currently I have very little time to fix this. My quick fix was to install Kubuntu 10.10 so I could resume working, but I would really need to get back in to 11.2.

Sep 5, 2011I have downloaded the latest Ubuntu.iso and extracted it to /tmp/ubuntu/ on my laptop. In the folder isolinux there is an isolinux.cfg file.

Apr 13, 2011when i click my mouse on something, it sometimes registers as two clicks. it doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough to be annoying. for example, when i click a videos video to pause it, it often opens into fullscreen (which you normally click twice to do). also, in the url bar of chromium, i can't select the entire url by clicking. i now need to use ctrl+a. that's also because when i try to select the url, the highlight randomly disappears.
if i have multiple windows open, my click on the first "x" of the top-most window also closes the next window. i'm on linux mint 10. it's not really important, but it drives me crazy sometimes when my mouse doesn't work the way i want it to.

Sep 20, 2010I had a partition setup with Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04 dual booting. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 by installing fresh from CD but leaving the previous /home folder as is. Things seemed to be working fine, but started finding that my mouse and keyboard were freezing. After a quick search on the internet, I found the following suggestions as shown here:- Ubuntu Forums
Here the suggestion was to:-
Edit /etc/default/grub, go to the line
that begins like:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
Change it to:

This seemed to have resolved the issue but after a couple of days I again find my mouse and keyboard freezing. I also find that my parallel port printer had also stopped working. I have saved the output of dmesg and my syslog. The first can be viewed here but the syslog had too many characters,

Programming :: Bash Text To Variable Accessing Individual Text Lines?

General :: Stuck At Log In Screen With Mouse And Keyboard Not Functioning
Mar 26, 2011I am COMPLETELY new to Linux.I started a computer class recently and I started teaching myself PERL.My teacher had mentioned to me that it's far better for some reasons (he did not elaborate) to write code in a Unix system. So I got Ubuntu 10.10.I installed it along side my windows 7.After I setup my windows (had to reformat the disk) I decided to boot up into Ubuntu to set that up. I installed the necessary drivers that it required, and the updates. I was asked to restart the system so I did so.
It did not even shut down or restart my system.I waited patiently 15 minutes...30 minutes 1 hour... until I finally decided to hit the reset button on my PC. Then when I'd boot back in to Ubuntu afterwards, it would stay at the log in screen and my mouse wouldn't budge and nor is my keyboard recognized by Ubuntu.Im really frustrated and I've been searching for answers for the whooole day and I just can't seem to find something well explained. Im completely new to Ubuntu so I don't know where to enter any code in a cmd line or such.
1)Reformatted my harddrive to install windows 7 on it
2)Set up windows 7 and then booted into Ubuntu.
3) Set up Ubuntu and installed necessary drivers and updates
4) Reset the computer and waited for an hour for the reset to happen but nothing happened.
5) Manually reset my pc and booted into ubuntu
6) Stuck at log in screen with mouse and keyboard not functioning (unable to use ubuntu).
General :: Using Keyboard To Emulate Left And Right Mouse Buttons

After spending quite a few hours resurrecting it, it works just fine except for the left and right mouse buttons on the touch pad. They do not function.Is there a way to emulate the left and right mouse buttons from the keyboard?(I know that I can just plug in a mouse, but I would rather just use the keyboard if possible.)

General :: Bash - Add Text At The Beginning Of A Line
Feb 28, 2011I have a lot a folders, each named by a number, and in each of these folders I have a specific file (stddev.dat) containing a single line (of numbers) I need to have a single file with each line being one of the stddev.dat (no matter if it is sorted or not), and also I need to add at the begining of each line the number of the folder it comes from.
I 'm no bash expert, and the "add at the begining of the line" is a bit of problem to me". Here is what I've come up with so far, just to put everything in one file, (and also if you know a better/more elegant way to do the same thing I've done, I'm listening)

Ubuntu :: Can't Select Any Text Using Shift Key
Jun 5, 2011When I connect to my ubuntu machine at work via NX (shadowing the existing session), I cannot select any text using the shift key. Shift key itself works (I can use it to capitalize letters for instance). It is just that arrow keys, page down/up keys, home/end does not work with shift. Without shift, they work (so I can navigate, just cant select). I tried running xev to see the key events. In the local X11 session (XQuartz), keeping shift key pressed and pressing home prints the expected key press/release events. However, in the NX session, pressing shift prints "key pressed Shift_L" but then pressing home/end/page up/page down prints nothing.
I have no problems with any of the other keys within the remote session. Alt, for instance, works perfectly fine (I can open menus, do alt_tab). Ctrl also works. Ctrl - arrow keys switches my desktops. Editing code is like nightmare because I have to constantly select text using the mouse. I can possibly remap the selection keys to some other combination but that's the last resort.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Select Bluetooth Keyboard
Nov 13, 2010I am trying to use an Apple BT keyboard with a new installation of 10.04.Using Bluetooth Preferences, I discovered the keyboard, and paired with it. No problem with pairing. If I click on the BT icon in the top panel, it indicates that the keyboard is connected. But any text typed on on keyboard does not appear on screen. I opened Keyboard Settings, thinking that I might have to select the connected BT keyboard as the input device. Nothing there. Is there another preference somewhere that has to be set for the BT keyboard to actually work as an input device (as opposed to simply being paired)? My USB keyboard is still connected (and is working). Perhap Ubuntu only tolerates one keyboard device at a time?

Ubuntu :: Can't Select Text In Forms In Firefox
Jul 21, 2010I think it started after the last Firefox update - I can't select text in forms on any page - not even here, while I'm writing this. When I double click, the selection appears for a fraction of a second, and vanishes instantly. Neither can I select text by dragging, the same happens. I can still select everything with ctrl+A, but I can't select single words or sentences. It's driving me nuts. I've actually switched to Chrome because of this, but I'm missing a lot of Firefox's functionality there, so I'd rather stay with Mozilla.
