When 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.
One of the very few things I miss from Windows is that when you press LeftShift+Del the delete key acts like the backspace key, in other words you can use Del to delete forwards and LeftShift+Del to delete backwards.
I've been reading man pages such as xmodmap and used xev to get keycodes but I can't work out how to map LeftShift+Del to Backspace.
Can someone tell me how to do this please?
I love using htop, but I have noticed that whenever I sort by a parameter (for example, Shift+m for sorting by Memory usage), the htop stats stop dynamically refreshing. Is this intended? I also notice this with top as well.

I want to disable the CAPS LOCK key and replace it by pressing SHIFT twice in quick successions (like you do in Android and iOS devices). Disabling the Caps Lock key is easy using xmodmap but is it possible to do what I want to do with the SHIFT key?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to remap the Capslock key to a Shift key. The reason being is the UK keyboard has a very large Caps Lock and a alpha size shift. I have been looking everywhere and there is a lot about turning it into a CTRL key but I don't understand. Can you give me simple instuctions I don't know what keycodes to use and what file to edit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI think this might be related to the changes to using udev or DeviceKit. It started when I was running the beta versions of F12. Then it crept into Debian Sid. And my Arch Testing and Gentoo also suffer from the same.
What happens is that I'll be working along. Then when I press any key it is as if the SHIFT key is pressed. When I press CAPSLOCK, some of the keys react as they would normally. This never lasts for more than 5 minutes. And seems to happen infrequently. I say seems because there are the times I am at work and it could be that the same thing is happening only there is no one on the keyboard.
The reason I pick out udev/DeviceKit is that when it used to happen to F12 beta, the other distros had not yet made the move. So back then it was only a F12 issue. Now it is happening across the board. And only started recently.
I installed Slackware 13.37 current 32 bit (kernel 2.6.38.7-smp) last saturday and almost everything works fine.

Previous attempts at explaining the answer to this haven't worked out yet !... so, for example, an iMac might solve all the tricky things as opposed to figuring out how to learn GNU/Linux that appears to be something for a more advanced computerist.

I have a dual boot system (Linux and Windows) that I normally run headless and which boots by default into Linux (which is what I use mainly). This all works fine, except that on occasions when I want to boot Windows I have to plug in a keyboard and monitor just to select Windows in the initial grub boot screen. I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this ? I don't mind if I have to boot Linux first, I just want to be able to reboot into Windows occasionally without having to plug in any peripherals.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy internet connection used to be a direct LAN connection to my provider. Back then, everything would load fine on both Windows and Ubuntu (dual boot). However, a while ago they started needing me to dial using a username and password (over a PPPoE connection). But since then, I haven't been able to browse certain websites on Ubuntu, even though there have been no such issues on Windows. Some example websites are - Ovi's sign in page (although share.ovi.com loads fine, and nokia.com loads fine), Live Mail (works on Chrome(ium) and Opera but not on Firefox (both 3.6 and 4)) and other random websites.
Some of the websites that don't load show timeout messages on Chrome and for some websites, the browser will keep trying to load without an end (I've left it like that even for hours but not noticed anything different happen).
I have tried changing the DNS servers to the ones suggested in the comment. I have even tried booting from a Fedora LiveCD and then changing the DNS to those (and even to the ones of OpenDNS), but the exact same thing happens. Here's output of ipconfig on Windows: Opera error messages seem to be a little more informative and they have the following errors in turns:
Secure connection: fatal error (552)
Secure connection: fatal error (40)
Followed by: Opera was not able to connect to the server. The server may be using the unsupported SSL 2 protocol, which is not considered safe enough for secure communication. The site owner should upgrade to TLS 1.0 or newer. Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
Update: Just saw here [URL].. that someone else was having similar problem and solved it by putting a NetworkManager.conf file in /etc/NetworkManager. What needs to be in that file?
There are five folders in a folder and I want to select one randomly. I used this command:

I would really like to install 2 or 3 PHP handler modules (suEXEC, FastCGI, etc) on a single server and assign which module should be used per virtual host or domain or whatever.

Right now I have a VPS that I tunnel through using SSH/Putty/Proxycap. I use it for a certain program which uses a certain port X for authentication, and a different port Y for its data. However, due to certain security protocols I need port X to be somewhat "transparent" so that the IP from the originator will be shown - whilst tunneling data through port Y. The conditions though, are that I cannot just change the X/Y port values in the application itself, these are company specific.
How would I go about doing this? Because right now, my understanding is that if Putty calls for a certain application to go through a socks server, ALL its ports will be directed at that. I want a certain port to be passthrough.
