General :: Use Above Setxkbmap Command To Enable Multi_key
Apr 12, 2011
I've only recently learned how to use the "Multi_key" function of the X windows system... I learned how to set a compose key from: [URL]... Which I found via google. 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
[code]...
IF I use the above setxkbmap command to enable a Multi_key, is there also a setxkbmap command I could issue to disable it?
I 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.
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?
How can i enable caps lock by using echo command. I know that by using syntax echo -e "33[3q" this only turns the capslock led to glow. but the capslock is not working i.e. the words are typed in small case only.
Then by using xmodmap command i.e. syntax xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" or xmodmap -e "add lock =Caps_Lock" doesn't work. On running this it shows unable to display.
I have install RHEL5 and created normal user as "test". When I login as root user, I can run crontab command but when I login as test user, I can't run crontab command and throws error as "cron/test: Permission denied". how to enable crontab command for test user as well?
I am trying to use netboot functionality available in GRUB(legacy). I just compiled GRUB with --enable-diskless and --enable-rtl8139 options and installed in USB flash drive. I am getting the grub prompt when tried to boot from that USB. But not getting boot command..what i need to do to enable boot command??
I am using Fedora 14. By default Security Enhanced Linux is enabled in Fedora 14. Now is there any way to disable it by command line and then again enable it through command line.
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 recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I have a LG S1 PRO, that to activate the wireless is necessary Fn + F6. How do I enable wireless on command? Since you can not activate in ubuntu with these keys.

Yesterday I was lost, I updated the drivers for the nvidia card and that broke X, since my internet is not up and running when booted I was wandering how to call it from the command line since that was the only thing I could see.
Since I wasn't able to figure out how to enable ctrl alt backspace in kde I thought I would explain how to do it from the command line. Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root. Then add this to the file.
I have done this before and its driving me insane, i just cant remember what command it was and google isnt revealing anything either.i usually type:"sudo command" and it asks my password which is ok, but i have a bunch of commands to issue as root and dont want to have to type sudo each timethis is what I want to see:

I'm having problems with my Nvidia card. X doesn't work after installation (9.10), only command prompt. I've read the instructions at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia on how to enable Nvidia drivers, but the instructions are only for GUI, which I don't have. Anyone knows how to enable Nvidia drivers from command line ?
how to enable remote desktop by command line in 10.4 lucid? The command sudo gconftool-2 -s -t bool/desktop /gnome/remote_access/enabled true doesn't work, because when I open /system/pref/remote desktop, it is still not activated.
I'm trying to follow this tutorial to install Fontforge on Ubuntu 11.04. (I did download it from the Ubuntu Software Center but it had some problems) I'm following the section on installing it from source code on GNU/Linux. Everything has been fine up to this point:
"Now configure, compile and install FontForge: cd ~/src/fontforge/; ./configure --enable-pyextension --enable-type3 --enable-pasteafter
I have a Sony TZ270N running Ubuntu 10.04 splendidly. The Sprint Mobile Broadband works great, but it's a bit cumbersome to activate. Specifically, to get it to work I need to:
Then I wait another five seconds, right-click on the networking icon, choose "Enable mobile broadband", then left-click on the networking icon, and choose "Connect to Sprint Connection". I do this multiple times a day, and it's just a bit of a pain, especially when in a hurry. Accordingly, I'd like to script it so I can do the whole thing with a single command.
I've already put the above echo statements into a script and it works great; is there any way to script the actual start of the PPP session itself -- with the caveat that I'd like the networking icon to accurately reflect the latest state?
(In other words, I don't want to bypass the networking icon and just launch the PPP session in the background -- I want it to show that I'm connected, and still let me manage the connection via the icon after connected.)
I need to find out a command to enable and disable a secondary monitor using the Nvidia X Server. I've got a monitor attached to my laptop that I don't use all the time and would like to just have a launcher to switch between "twinview" and "disabled" quickly rather than having to go through the menus. It's physical position is vertically above the primary monitor so I have to put in a custom position every time I enable it.
and my only solution to switch keyboard is to use setxkbmapnow after i define keyboards layouts to switch and chose ALT+Shift to switch it goes "bugged"using the right ALT will switch the layoutsand i'm not able to write the "other" lettersP.S : this is the command i use�setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll fr,ar�
I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
