Hardware :: Xbindkeys Giving Wrong Mapping Information
Apr 7, 2010
I'm having a problem with xbindkeys giving the wrong mapping information, hence I can't get it work at all when trying new mappings from this machine. From another computer, I have some definitions for xbindkeys (made with xbindkeys-config). These key codes work correctly on this computer I'm having difficulty with. From the config file for example:
ConkyForecast is giving me the way wrong temperature (conky says it is 129 but weather.com says it is 54) it also added an A symbol before the degree symbol.
Code: # conky configuration # edited by Mark Buck (Kaivalagi) <m_buck@hotmail.com> # set to yes if you want Conky to be forked in the background background no
# X font when Xft is disabled, you can pick one with program xfontsel #font 5x7 #font 6x10 #font 7x13 #font 8x13 #font 9x15 #font *mintsmild.se* .....
Hey guys. I have a client computer PXE booting from my host computer and it is supposed to give the client the ip address 172.16.0.100 however instead it gives it the ip address 172.16.0.208.
I have this set up working with two other computers and there is no noticeable difference other than mac addresses for the network card.
Here is an extract from my '/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf' file...
I have quadruple checked the mac address of the client and it is definitely "00:07:E9:32:16:81" so why is it not giving it the IP address that I have specified?
I'm not too sure if this is the right topic to post in but if it isn't please move it to the correct topic. I recently opened some ports for my Playstation 3 and the connection test on the PS3 tells me that the ports are open . But when I execute this command
nmap -p 0-60000 192.168.1.5 I get this

Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-10-16 20:54 AUS Eastern Daylight Time Nmap scan report for PS3 (192.168.1.5) Host is up (0.00063s latency). All 60001 scanned ports on PS3 (192.168.1.5) are closed MAC Address: **:**:**:**:**:** (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 4.12 seconds
I could be executing the wrong command or something but I have read through the manual and couldn't find anything that helped. I have tried this command on other machines that I have opened ports for and get similar results except for a few Ephemeral ports (80,443 etc.) which also makes me wonder why these aren't listed as open on the PS3?
I've got a DNS problem I cannot figure out. I've been digging and pinging all day and I've waited for caches to expire and I'm not having much luck.From my desktop mac, I can't seem to resolve mail.port-o-call.net:
Basically, my middle mouse button (button 2) wasn't being detected by mumble when I was trying to enter a ptt key. The button itself was bound to do some weird copy-paste function, so I figured maybe that's why, so I rebound it to Shift+Right arrow using xbindkeys and xvkbd. I then went into mumble and it detected this no problem, however due to the xbindkeys config, when I press the middle mouse button it only does the bound function once.... i.e. I press it, it sends Shift+Right arrow to the X serv, but then stops, which is obviously useless for a push-to-talk button.
So, really what I am asking is, how should I go about sorting this? Is xbindkeys able to translate a keypress in sync with the mouse button (i.e if I hold the mouse button, it holds down the keys bound to it) or am I going down the wrong route and there is a better way to get middle mouse as my push to talk button on mumble. Perhaps a different keybind software?
After a fresh install 11.3 copy the saves .xbindkeysrc to /home/username compiled and installed xbindkeys again this is the link to XBindKeys No keys working I had to remove the keyboard definition in xorg.conf I had to rescan all the keys because they have a DIFFERENT VALUE
I want the "search" button on my mouse to be a middle click. In my .xbindkeysrc file I have
Code: "xte 'keydown Control_L' 'mouseclick 1' 'keyup Control_L'"# m:225 but it still just selects the google search bar on firefox. Using xev, it shows Code: KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001, root 0xb4, subw 0x0, time 166414200, (1135,637), root:(1139,660), state 0x10, keycode 225 (keysym 0x1008ff1b, XF86Search), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False that means its seen as a keyboard button 225 right?
I tried doing something like Code: "konqueror" m:225 to test it, but nothing. Something is overwriting its function. In Configure Desktop > Keyboard & Mouse > shortcut stuff, and didn't see the search button used anywhere.
I'm trying to write a program which would get information from a webpage and display the information on my desktop sort of like a widget. I kind of remember there being something like this already made, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's calledDoes anyone know?
How would you make NIS user information override local user information on client systems? This is what I think is right? Add nis on the passwd registration file on the second line Is this correct?
I have found that the <Enter> key on the numeric keypad does not act the same as the <Enter> key on the main keyboard. Confirming a file copy in Gnome Commander for example. Using xev I found the following
Quote:
Main <Enter> ------------ KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x5600002, root 0x25d, subw 0x5600003, time 44244330, (50,55), root799,113),
[code]....
So based on some research it seems I should be able to edit my ~/.Xmodmap to assign the same key (Return) to keycode 104 - the keypad <Enter> key. Except - I have no .Xmodmap. Did it move in Ubuntu 9.10? Do I have to create it? or does Ubuntu 9.10 use a "better" method of handling key mappings?
I need to read many files very fast: reading them from the disk leads to bad performance!!I copied the files into /dev/shm, being sure that they were copied in memory, but the performance didn't improve.Then I created a tmp file system in /mnt (/mnt/tmpfs) and I mounted it withmount -osize=400m tmpfs /mnt/tmpfs -t tmpfsand copied the file in. But the performance still remain almost the same.I've the doubt that I didn't copied the file in memory!The question is: Did I make the right things?I run a FC 11 64 bit on a dual procs server with 16 Gb memory
Latest kernel update since Fedora 2.6.33 are mapping all my NFS "shares" twice (two sets of icons, etc.). All work, but why is this happening - was fine previously.
2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:36:08 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Currently when I press the windows key nothing happens. However, I can get some events from this key. xev displays the following event information:
Code:
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0xaa, subw 0x0, time 1744572, (161,180), root:(584,386), tate 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
I am very very productive with the new Windows 7 taskbar. The ability to press Winkey + # to either:
1) Minimize that window if it is the window that currently has focus set to. 2) Restore the window the key combination is pressed but the window is not currently open. For example, if Firefox is the third tab across the bottom of the taskbar, and not currently open, I would like <Super> + 3 to restore this window for me, instead of having to do alt + tab, tab, tab, tab [OH! Now I finally got to it!]. I just work much faster with this convenient shortcut.
The Problems
1) I need to know how Ubuntu remembers the current location of an item on the taskbar. It must, as you are able to re-arrange items with a drag of the mouse. I need this to find out what item #, so when I press <Super> + num I can figure out what is the numth window across the bottom currently. 2) I need to know how to execute something like [psuedo-code for bash script]:[ie: How do I minimize? How do I check if a window is currently the focused window? How do I make it the current window?]
I am a programmer, I am willing to figure this out for myself at least partially, but how the hell do I find #1 without diving into thousands of lines of source? I could use some push in the right direction. I just switched to Ubuntu a month ago [from Windows, but I was very much a power-user and know my way around it well].
I've found several how-to's, but the "problem" is that all the ones I've found up to now involve using xmodmap. I'm not radically opposed to that, but, with debian, for some reason, I don't need it. I don't have a Xmodmap file, and yet, the special keys have their "names", instead of NoSymbol (on xev). Anyone knows where the settings are, whenever one does not use xmodmap?To make things weirder I've tried to create a Xmodmap to use with arch from debian, but it get the names all wrong, for some reason. (I used xmodmap -pke > .Xmodmap). I guess that whatever debian does, it has nothing to do with xmodmap then.
But I think it may not be possible. Besides not using xmodmap, on debian I have the correct keyboard layout set without having any command (well, at least not on my openbox startup script... it could be somewhere along all those "deeper" startup scripts, on /etc/rc.#/, I guess... I'm going to check there now), while on arch I have a "setxkbmap" on my openbox startup script.
I just ran my first Lubuntu session using a USB SD card install.Not bad overall.I would like to re-map two keys on my netbook to make this Lubuntu usable.I have learned that these two apps are the way to go.xevxmodmap Are they built into Linux?If they are, how do I run them?How do I get to a command line to run them once Lubuntu has loaded and I'm at the main screen?
Is it possible to connect local folders to the remote windows machine via RDP session?For example Microsoft's RDP Client has a feature that will connect local hard drives to the remote machine when you open a RDC.I need to copy files but I can't use smbmout because of firewall.
have a workstation, that, even after a fresh reboot, has a constant network activity.I used Wireshark on the machine, and i saw there is a constant HTTP trafic(even after a fresh reboot).I just know that my local TCP/44188 port is used to send the HTTP trafic to the web server on Internet.However; I don't know which process is doing that.How can I identify the binary responsible for using this particular TCP port and sending data?
I am new working with vyatta routers and my problem is next:I am installing 5 ip cameras and i am using vyatta router. someone could help me how can i access remotrly by internet to my internal lan where are my cameras instaled. i have read about dnat but i'm not sure if also need to configure ports tha i previosly asigned to cameras i get confuse with that because only find mapping configuration ip address but not ports.
I cannot set mod3 to the Shift_R key with xmodmap.

we have configured snv in our server but when we tried to access our svn folder from client its saying path not found error.This is because apache is mapped to tomcat so when we tried to access svn by default it looks to some other path and displaying path not found error.My question is how to restrict apache from forwarding its request to tomcat or else how to stop the tomcat service. I am using centos and i tried with /etc/init.d/tomcat5 stop but it is not getting stopped.
I have a wireless numpad that was designed for windows, so some of the keys rather than sending a keycode send a sequence of keys to do a task.
For example the excel button sends(from xev)
win+R excel return
Is there a program that can look for this sequence then perform a different action? i know xmodmap can map individual keys but couldn't get it doing multiple.
I posted earlier regarding an issue with my netbook not having the <>| keys while on Scandinavian layout (Acer Aspire One 532H). I never use the "Fn" key on any laptop I have and it's especially disposable on this Netbook. While digging around in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty I've got the fi.map.gz open but unsure as to which is the fn key. How would I find out which maps to the fn key?
Problem: I need to map directories to a user's home directory when they log in.
For example, I need to map /school/homework/ to user "steve" in his home directory when he logs in. I'm guessing I could use a logon script, but I can't figure out what command I should be putting in the script. I've been searching for hours through man pages and googled it a ton and can't find anything on it.

how I can map a drive/directory on a remote Centos 5.3 server in my office to my local Windows XP at home. Is there any guides on how this could be done? eg. VPN, SAMBA, NFS, etc..
I've some how managed to map to a shared drive on my Synology NAS, but can only access it through the terminal when logged in as root. The share is mounted in the "mnt" directory, which I can't access when using the file manager application (as a user).
Update: so I carried out the actions below and I can no see the share in my home directory, but can't access it. Is this because I done it with root? root@D8:/home/user# mkdir share_nas root@D8:/home/user# ls Desktop Downloads Picturesshare_nas Videos Documents Music PublicTemplates root@D8:/home/user# mount 192.168.0.2:/volume1/NAS_share /home/user/share_nas
