When I boot, apparently any Linux (Ubuntu and CloneZilla), I see the letters Code: ^]]B scroll pass, over and over again. This represents the down key as when I try to do anything the down key is held down. This occurs during boot on Ubuntu (once I get to the login screen it stops and does not happen). This does not happen at the GRUB screen or in Windows. It also occurs during the entire CloneZilla process and Ubuntu alternative install process (making both of these impossible)
I can't find any reason for this to happen and have been using both CloneZilla and Ubuntu for a long time before this happened. Does anyone know what I could try to fix this.
A friend of mine has an old emachines with XP on it and at first it would complain it had to test the disk and turn off in less then a minute. Now it won't do anything except run the power supply and cpu fans while the start button is pressed. I checked for power on the blue , purple ,red and orange wires while 14 and 15 were jumped on the power supply. There are no lEDs on the board and no beeps. I disconnected all the peripherals also
I am currently using a Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 When I press the power button, I see a dialogue box which asks for confirmation and if nothing is confirmed system automatically shuts down in 60 seconds. I want to change this time of 60 seconds to say 30 seconds. Is it possible? Also is there a way to hide that dialogue box...
I have a dell zino inspiron media pc with Ubuntu 10.04 installed. I am able to shutdown using the power button on machine i.e. System->Preferences->Power Management option 'when power button is pressed': choose 'Shutdown'.But for option 'when suspend button is pressed', I only get 'Suspend' or 'Hibernate' in the drop-down. Where is my 'Shutdown' option?I really want to be able to shutdown my machine from my wireless keyboard!
I have a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 (Wireless Keyboard 3000 + Wireless Mouse 5000), actually, I have two of them, one in this computer, running Ubuntu 10.10 and another one in a box running Ubuntu 10.04.In the box running 10.04 I can perfectly use 70% of the hotkeys the keyboard has, the 30% left I guess they're not compatible, but that's not a problem.In the one running 10.10 whenever I use a hotkey,t works, but,sametimet "blocks" the mouse left button in the 'pressed' state. Let me be more clear, it's like I'm holding down the left click all the time and I don't ever release it. Unless I restart the system, I can't recover the left click.
What happened to the "Do nothing" option for "When the suspend button is pressed" in Lynx? It would also be useful to have a "Do nothing" option for "When the power button is pressed".
I reclaimed the hard drive space on my hard drive entirely for Windows 7 with the intention of installing another hard drive solely for Ubuntu. When I reboot my computer it still gives me the option to choose Windows or Ubuntu. I tried Ubuntu just to see what happens and all that came up was some error and an option to type in help for a list of commands. And if it makes a difference I was running Ubuntu 11.04.
i was just wondering if there was any way to make it only boot ubuntu from pressing a button at startup like f11 or something instead of coming up with a menu asking me to choose which operating system to boot.
Is there a terminal program that shows what you pressed on the keyboard?There are these two keys to the right and left of the up arrow key that are "PageBack" and "PageForward" for Firefox, but Midori can't use these keys like that, in fact, I don't think it even knows they exist. Wondering if I can get their name or something.
I want to prevent "^C" from echoing when Ctrl-C is pressed. I did "stty -echoctl" which some googling results suggested. Now it echos raw Ctrl-C characters instead of the string "^C". That's not any better since it displays some funny blocked hexadecimal in the terminal window.
I am working on a script and I want it to detect if CTRL+C is pressed at any time during the script and have it not Break the script and display a message stating to use CTRL+Z instead. How can I do that?
i tried resetting my linux based PC and it did not come up thereafter. i power off and on the PC, yet it did not come on. i assistance in resolving this problem.
While searching the net I found how to complete disable the functionality of the middle mouse button but I need this button for many other uses.I want to disable only it's paste action.
I�m configuring my Ubuntu 11.04 installation but one of the thing that really annoys me is that beeping sound every time I press a key on the keyboard. I haveńt found a way to disable it through System Settings(Sound preferences) and pcspkr is already blacklisted in the blacklist file.
I'm having a problem with vim and xterm. When I open a file and press any key, the colour scheme changes slightly. This doesn't happen if I run a 256-colour xterm (export TERM='xterm-256color') but if TERM is set to 'xterm' (the default) I see the colour change. Setting TERM='xterm-256color' in my ~/.bashrc is a "solution", but I'd rather not have to do that since it's never been necessary in the past (e.g., on 13.1) and I don't use any 256-color schemes for vim (usually just the default or possibly "delek"). It doesn't happen with rxvt or with Xfce's terminal. I've tried compiling some other versions of xterm but they either exhibit the same behaviour or don't build. I have tried running without any ~/.vimrc file just to be sure it wasn't one of my settings and I've also tried the sample file at /usr/share/vim/vimrc; the effect is the same.
I know how to make another button act as the middle button but how can I map several mouse buttons to the middle button? xmodmap complains if I repeat button numbers in the pointer option.
I want to be able to hide things so that they do not show up when show hidden files is pressed. Maybe something like a file that you can only get to by already knowing its location?
i m using ubuntu 10 .10.for 2 weeks it was working fine yesterday onwards it changed.tried all themes but still i cant drag the window to make it small in sizethere is no close button minimize and maximize button in all the application and files[URL]
i've been searching all over the internet for a way to let the user press a particular key let's say 'y' without the user having to press [Enter] as confirmationfor yes, this would then run another function.

Press 'y' to make a copy of this result into a file or 'n' to return to the main menu.. I understand the "press any key to continue" would go something like
Code:
read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to continue.." But i try many different ways of getting the "press a particular key" function, and none of them works.
I am working as system administrator for the past 5 years, but only on Windows XP systems, I recently moved to Linux, frankly speaking a few days ago, and i got many problems with it. may be as i am a beginner. My Problem started with Ubuntu 9.04 amd 64 and now with 10.04 beta.
The main problem I installed the wine (I am aware that wine is not compatible with all softwares of microsoft) and Installed microsoft office 2007 and it installed successfully but after installation when I launched Microsoft Excel it got hanged (only the Microsoft excel) and loading logo stood on top of all applications, then I decided to restart and pressed the restart button from menu on the right top. but there was no further response, then I pressed the reset button after waiting for 3-4 minutes to get rid of that logo of Microsoft in the center of my screen.
Now, when the Ubuntu was booting, Text arrives and disappears fast saying dev/file system has errors the logo of Ubuntu 10.04 and dots of loading at the bottom arrived and text written in the bottom of that "on of the drives needs to be checked, please wait it may take some time" Press 'C' to cancel disk check up. Now, its checking for a long time maybe for 30 minutes and the bottom text disappears and the loading Ubuntu 10.04 logo still remains and nothing happening after that.
I Pressed alt+crtl+del 2 times, it restarts saying that saving some alsa process, then again the same thing after restart. If I press C, it displays in the bottom of Ubuntu 10.04 logo "/File system has errors" and the loading screen remains like that. Now what is the solution and what are the precautions to be taken while using Ubuntu, as I was interested in introducing Ubuntu to marketing managers of offices, who wonder on the Internet all the time finding stuff and getting attacked by viruses. If this type of problems continue in Ubuntu, it will not be safer to use it, as if it wont boot during sudden power failures, that could result in a big problem.
This is my first day with Debian, I have used other distros, and am a long time linux user. My HP D 1600 series is recognized, but when I try to print a test msg. it says sent, but the printer remains idle. I have tried everything I know. When I run the trouble shooter I get this. /// /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed////
In the past when having a printer problem I have installed HPLIP-gui and removed the printer then re-installed it. That has not worked and I cannot even remove the printer.
When I boot without the AC cable plugged in the Power Applet says I am on AC power (but the notebook is of course running on battery power). Which is bad because I don't know how much battery time still remains. Strangely, when I boot on AC Power and then remove the AC cable both the fact that battery power is used and the remaining battery time is shown correctly. Also when I boot into battery power and then plug in the AC cable it correctly shows that the battery is charging and how long it takes until fully charged. I use Ubuntu 10.10, 32bit on an Acer Aspire One 751 if that helps. The problem has also existed in Ubuntu 10.04 and I hoped the update would solve it but it did not.
after an update i cannot my pc remains in the log on screen. I insert my password then the screen goesn and of and after 4 secondit goes back in the logon screen. I run the following
