View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a bash script that I use to configure a vanilla Ubuntu (10.10 Maverick) installation to be exactly the way I want it. I make extensive use of gconftool-2 to configure the desktop, set up shortcut keys, etc.
Now, I'm trying to swap the CTRL and CAPS keys. I have found two ways of doing this: In Gnome, go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout -> Options and make the change in there. This works well, but I don't know how to script this; the setting doesn't seem to be stored in the usual place as I can't find it with gconf-editor. Add the line setxkbmap -option "ctrl:swapcaps" to my .bashrc file. That works too, until I suspend the machine & then resume it. At that point the CTRL and CAPS behaviour return to normal, until I cause .bashrc to be run again by opening a new shell. This behaviour has been reported as a bug in RedHat. Edited to add: JeffG on [URL] suggested adding the call to setxkbmap to my gdm.conf file in the script section; that resulted in a failure to load X on startup.
switching those keys that is both permanent, and can be scripted?

Whatever resolution I choose, 1600x1200 is preferred, it is reset to a default of 1024x768 when I log out. I use the "Configure Desktop" option to set the resolution. I can find no other method to do so. The graphics adapter is an ATI hd3200. I have installed the fglrx driver. I cannot fine the "Control Center" for the driver. How do I make the selected resolution permanent?
The hardware is a Toshiba Satellite 755 with Nvidia graphics. An external monitor is connected via HDMI. The aim is to disable the laptop screen and only use the external monitor. This is no problem with Windows 7. With openSuse 11.4 (64bit), this can also be done via systemsettings. However, after each restart the laptop screen is again enabled and the HDMI only a clone (with the correct resolution), although the settings should have been made permanent. Is there a way to fix this?

I set up a squid transparent proxy and I have a problem with an iptable rules. I have a rule to redirect all request to port 80 to go on port 3128. To do so, I'm using this iptables command :
Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
This command is working like a charm. The only problem is, for some unknown reasons, this rule will be dropped at some point. I did not manage to identify what is causing this to happen. It occurs during night, but I have nothing about that in my log files. messages / firewall / ...) The only way I managed to reproduce this 'dropping' is this one: I type the command like as root. The command is effective and working fine. I open yast, I go to the firewall module, the I do a simple "save changes and restart firewall" (without changing anything). As soon as this process is finished, the iptables rule is gone.
-How can I make this rule permanent ?
-Is there a place where I can launch a script executing this rule, after the yast firewall module is 'touched' or something ?
Every time I turn on opensuse, I have to go into terminal as superuser and type:

I'm seeking to make permanent a selection in openSUSE-11.4 LXDE between english and Thai keyboards. And I need help here, as I have only succeed partially.

I could create a script with my 1st successful effort (and have that run when LXDE starts up) but surely there is a more elegant way? I am also NOT keen to have this system wide (even thou I tried that system wide (unsuccessfully) at the end) but I would rather only have this for one LXDE user.
About 1-2 times a day (3 today and it's just 9 AM here...) Gnome 3 decides to just not care about me any more, crashes and logs me out. No warning, no error on screen, just some black screen with text (like when shutting down the computer and it's stopping services) which lasts half a second, then back to the login screen.
Any ideas what might be wrong or where I could find some logs to post them here?
I have squeeze with gnome. Various apps let me log in as root when needed to but if I logout as a user and try to login as root it won't let me (won't authenticate password). I had this problem before and reinstalled Debian and definitely checked for it to allow me to do this and it worked for a while after new install. Apparently some update overrode my preferences. This is a major defect and may force me to abandon Debian. I don't use root often but I don't have any use for a operating system that won't let me use it. Anyone know how to correct this. I am not interested in using a terminal on a regular basis or ever for that matter.

The issue is with Ktorrent.
When I put the machine to sleep (suspend to ram) with Ktorrent running and then wake the machine up again, the torrents that were working do resume. But they resume in a very poor fashion, continually going into and out of "stalled" status. This bad connectivity continues indefinitely.
I have to kill Ktorrent and restart it to get good data flow back for the torrents that are running. Is there an explanation for this? And is there something I can do to make the torrents resume nicely when I bring the machine back from sleep?
Running openSuSE 11.3 w/ a KDE 4.x desktop. Every time I'm using KTorrent, when I come back into the office and "wake" the monitor, I find KTorrent has crashed and I have to restart it. So I'm guessing that KTorrent is crashing either when my monitor goes to sleep mode or when I'm waking it up. I've tried changing some settings but when the system is running, I cannot seem to access the monitor control panel. Pressing the menu button on the side of the monitor does not bring up the monitor menu. There used to be an easily noticed "Desktop Settings" in KDE 3 but I'm not finding the equivalent in KDE 4.

I am searching for a bash command to be able to see why my laptop is not sleeping but I didnt found anything appropriate.
Firstly, wol works fine from shutdown and hibernate; it's just suspend which doesn't work.
I've got 2 types of workstations, all running 11.1. They both have this kernel:
2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-02-22 16:49:47 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Type 1 is a dell optiplex 745, bios version 2.4.1. Here's the relevant bit from lspci:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
Kernel driver in use: tg3
Kernel modules: tg3
[Code]....
The fact that it's happening across two different machines makes me wonder if it is some OS setting I've missed, but then maybe neither card/driver supports it from suspend.
I'd really like to get them waking from suspend because training users to use suspend rather than hibernate would be a pain. Also, being able to configure such that it only wakes from suspend and not hibernate/shutdown, as implied in the bios, would allow me to wake machines up for backups etc only when the users are here, rather than on holiday/seconded to another department etc.
My laptop won't wake from sleep. I hit the powerbutton and it'll blink a few more times, turn green and the keys will light up but the screen stays black.
Running sony vaio s with windows 7 and 11.4 duelboot. I really need it to be able to suspend and wake because I'll be taking it to college in the fall.
Recently, I found my system can't sleep or hibernation. Whatever I click "sleep(suspend to memory)" or "hibernation(suspend to disk),
the system just lock the screen, don't sleep really.
I don't know how to check it.
My system is openSUSE 11.3 x86_64, KDE 4.5.3 .
Installed openSUSE into my Thinkpad T410 and noticed that when I closed the laptop lid, the moon icon does not light up.
Reopening the lid and will see a screensaver password screen immediately.
Does this means that the laptop does not have Sleep (or is it called hibernate) mode enable? How can I enable it?
This also happens with Debian that this laptop is dual booted with.
I am fairly new to opensuse/linux and have been running into a very intermittent I/O issue that I can not seem to pinpoint the source of. Just about any program that deals with any significant IO will fall into uninterruptable sleep. For example here are two instances of dd. The first time it hung in uninterruptable sleep and the second it was completely fine and performed as expected.
[Code]....
Monitoring disk I/O with iotop indicates normal performance for most of the time then all the sudden the read/write drops from ~60-80MB/s to 1-2MB/s. This happens for just about any program I run. It is not easily repeatable since it seems to randomly happen. My limited knowledge led me to believe that it could be a symptom of the old SLED 10 OS that i was running so I upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 earlier this week with no change. I have changed the journaling to ordered and the I/O scheduler to deadline as well as cfq to no avail.
After updating to openSUSE 11.3, and restarting my computer, I placed my computer in sleep(suspend to RAM) mode, and I lost my internet connectivity. I noticed that my computer was only connected through ethernet. After entering "dhclient eth0" in a terminal, I received the following output.
Code:
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
This is the first time that I have had issues with connecting to the Internet using Ethernet.

I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE (upgraded to Tumbleweed but that's not relevant here). The computer is a Dell Optiplex. My sleep (suspend to ram) and wake (restore from ram) work very well. The box can multiboot to windows 7 as well as to Linux.
In Linux, the restore process is triggered by pressing the power button on the front of the case. No other action will bring it awake.
In windows, the restore process is triggered by the power button but also by moving the mouse or touching the Escape key, spacebar etc.
Here's the question: how do I get the computer to wake in Linux by activating a key (or mouse, whatever) instead of just the power button (which is under the desk and hard to get to)?
