When I change my keyboard with setxkbmap I want to see the updated layout via xkbprint, however xkbprint always seems to print the same thing regrdless of any changes i make. Am I missing some option or something?"xkbprint :0" before viewing it?

when I try to print the current keyboard layout with "xkbprint -o layout.ps" it gives me the error mentioned in the subject. I also remember printing it a couple of weeks ago (and I'm sure I didn't specify any additional options), but now it just doesn't work. Everything I read on the Net assume this command prints the current layout, and so far I haven't discovered even the slightest mention of this error. It's a trifle, but it drives me mad. What could I be doing wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my keyboard on Kubuntu 10.10. The specifics of the problem are not really relevant right now. I can fix it by running 'setxkbmap br' on the command line. It's good for the entire session (KDE). But I often forgot to do that, so I want to have that done automatically. I tried adding it to my .tcshrc file, it didn't work. I tried adding it to /etc/rc.local, it didn't work. Where can I insert that line and have it run automatically? Please note that my login shell is tcsh, not Bash.

It gave both directions for defining a compose key in the xorg.conf file. which method did NOT work for me on Arch Linux even after a full reboot. I'm not all that concerned about that however, because I find the temporary setxkbmap method more appealing anyway. A simple ~/bin bash script which if $1 begins with -h will less /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose and will otherwise run the command

IF I use the above setxkbmap command to enable a Multi_key, is there also a setxkbmap command I could issue to disable it?

setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
It works. However if you map keys with xmodmap, it's gone. In whatever order you use them, setxkbmap and xmodmap are always conflicting. Running xmodmap immediately disables CTRL-ALT-BKSP, while running setxbbmap reverses key mappings to their default.
I'm trying to execute a custom setxkbmap command upon startup so that I have the correcty layout when logging in.
I have tried placing the command in different files after reading through the man pages for Xsession, Xsession.options, xinitrc etc.
~/.gnomerc
~/.xsession
~/.xinitrc
but to no avail.
I installed Ubuntu in dual boot with Vista on my PC. First run was OK: Ubuntu started internet connection on my eth0 cable and everything worked smoothly. Then Ubuntu asked me for an update of system: after software download and reboot,th0 is not recognized anymore! I can't connect to internet, neither with Firefox neither with Synaptic.Everything is OK with Vista and internet works well from live cd (and all was ok before updating operating system). I read something around about dns problem (I have a belkin modem router) but I wasn't able to understand how to solve the problem,

I allready changed the settings from regular to LTS, but nothing changes. There are updates to the kernel, but I cannot download them, so I'm kinda stuck here.

I have Update Manager set to check for updates on a daily basis but to prompt me before downloading or installing them. Because I have Update Manager set to check on a Daily basis, I expect that I will receive a prompt that an update is available no later than the day after the update is available (assuming of course I have my computer turned on). Yet I only receive a prompt days or even a week after the update was made available.
For example, let's say that my PPA of Google Chrome issues an update on Tuesday. Despite the fact that my ubuntu computer was on for a couple hours in the morning on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, no update prompt appears alerting me to available updates. If I manually open Update Manager on Friday afternoon, then the update is there and waiting for installation. But how come I don't get an automatic prompt that an update is available? Do I have my settings wrong or something?
i want to apt-get update. But it is not working.

i installed the new fedora 15 x86_64 version at my dell studio 17 laptop any i wanted to make some updates and suddenly one error show up

I have two set of partitions hosted by two different linux distros.
1)ubuntu 10.04
2)mint 10
From the ubuntu home partion I have copied my ~/.vim directory to the mint partition thusly.Which created the /mnt/mint/home/.vim directory and recursively.copied all files under /home/tim/.vim to it.Now, I wish to update the mint (destination) directory. So, to test, I create a new file in the ubuntu directory and edit an existing files to update the timestamp.
I updated centos from 5.2 to 5.3 as recommended:
yum clean all
yum update glibc*
yum update
Update was successful (I didn't see any errors). Then I rebooted pc and found out that my web is extreamly slow. In httpd logs I found: php -> file_get_contents [URL] always dies (timeout error, but somedomain.com is fine, I can telnet it easy on 80) I was wounder if it's update problem and tried yum:
>yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
so you doesn't work too... I have no proxies, I tried to reboot pc, I tried: yum clean all
I have installed Centos and after few days I used it as a web server, database server (MySQL) and have some very important for me applications installed.
Today - I have read about "yum -update" function and I (a dummy one...) tried it. After some minutes the process was finished. But unfortunatelly - my server did not boot any more.
As startup options I have:
CentOS (2.6.18-164.6.1.el5)
CentOS (2.6.18.-164.6.1.el5PAE)
CentOS (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5PAE)
CentOS (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5)
CentOS (2.6.18-128.1.14.el5)
CentOS (2.6.18-92.el5)
I'm not sure what are these options. Anyway - I have tried to choose every one and the result is aways the same : red Hat Nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
Then starts the clock [ok],
Then starts the "udev" [ok]
And then My screen goes to suspend mode, with the text "no signal".
The most important thing is to backup the data from the hard disk. Do I have any chance to repair this installation ?
after i update my Server to 5.5 i get the following error
[root@Linux /]# yum update

Whenever I install a new application, that application's icon is broken (shows the generic "application" icon) until I run gtk-update-icon-cache on /usr/share/icons/hicolor. The package manager must not be updating it correctly, but for what reason I'm not sure.
I installed Ubuntu10.04 in VM. It worked without any problem. There was no GIMP in that version and thought to update the OS. I invoked update manager and updated the OS. After the update when I try to type in the password I see no response for my key board. Mouse works fine which is attached to my Key-board.
I deleted the VM completely and did a new Ubuntu10.04 installation it worked fine I could able to run couple of bash scripts but after update It doesn't response to keyboard.
I was trying to update the latest files of 10.04. During the update process suddenly my computer hanged. That was a hardware failure and my hard disk lost connection. When I solved it and boot into Ubuntu it just didn't open. A mark is shown on the above task bar that said "A problem occurred when checking for update."
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe clock applet "Clock 2.30.0" in my panel reads correctly on boot, and then never updates itself. When I go to its preferences, time setting is correct and continuously updating, but the display in my panel never changes. I can use "killall-gnomepanel" from terminal, and this rests everything, making the time display correctly. Furthermore, it updates itself afterward... but I'd like the dang thing to function correctly without resorting to that.

I downloaded about 300 MB of updates and then started installing. While it was doing its job applying all the updates it had downloaded I had some 2 or 3 PDF files open, Amarok and a folder. Suddenly the computer crashed; mouse was dead, so was the keyboard. The computer stopped completely; I wasn't able to reboot it even with "sys rq + R + E + I + S + U + B", to give an idea. I had to kill the power to shut the PC down. But then, when I tried to turn it back on, it started booting up and then the following text showed up (shown in-between quotes):

I already tried to chroot into Ubuntu with the Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD, but when I mount the home partition and run "sudo chroot /media/Ubuntu", a message shows up that reads: "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error"
All I need is the log-on screen back on; a great deal of valuable information in the computer.
Over the past two weeks my laptop has started locking up at random. I thought maybe it was a thermal issue, because I have an upgraded hard drive (put in 2 years ago) and once a month or so I might get a heat related lockup. I keep my fans running at high speed and the laptop elevated now and don't typically have an issue.
The freezing has started to become a daily occurrence now, and yesterday it locked up three times. I am able to move my mouse (unlike thermal lockups where everything goes down) but unable to click anything. The entire display freezes, and my cpu monitor doesn't continue to update.
I finally ssh'd into my laptop and was surprised to see it responding just fine. htop showed that my X-server was at 100%. When I killed it, X restarted automatically and promped me to log in. Everything is fine after this until the next lockup.
When I don't have access to ssh I have to hard-shutoff the laptop. That can't be good on this 5 year old macbook. I have done my system updates in the past two weeks that may have triggered this, but I don't remember anything specifically. I've tried all versions of my kernel that are installed but nothing, I have the intel video and have not had problems with it up until now.
2$ uname -a
Linux macbook 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
3$ lspci|grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Can anyone suggest something to try? I'm not sure how to go back to older versions of the the video drivers, but I'm not even sure if that is the issue. I did add the following to /etc/apt/sources.lst after the lockups started occuring:
Code:
# X
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu lucid main #X-Updates PPA
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu lucid main #X-Updates PPA
and did a full update, but this hasn't helped.

I'm having problems with the time on one of my computers. It's loosing nearly 4 minute per hour. I installed the ntp program, but for some reason it won't work on this computer (a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 32bit).The defaults didn't work the same as my other computers. I used the command to stop apparmor (sudo invoke-rc.d apparmor teardown) in case that was the problem. As far as I know, no firewall is started by default.

I've installed the GNOME Update Manager (0.68-debian.7) from the official Debian package archive. However, after checking for new packages and clicking "Install the updates", the update manager asks for rights and then just checks for new updates again. Selecting different packages didn't help either, it just checks for updates again and doesn't update anything. Has anyone experienced the same problem
