OpenSUSE Hardware :: Numeric Keyboard Always Stay In Numbers Off Mode
Jul 24, 2010
My numeric keypad is always in "Numbers off" mode even though the Num Lock light is lit up. I am using 11.3 and have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard 4000.
Fedora 12 live running from USB with persistence storage.My laptop has extra numeric key pad.But Fedora is not recognizing this keypad. Only number keys above the QWERTY working.---------- Post added at 04:55 PM CDT ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM CDT ----------Also, upon every restart my keyboard layout changes from UK to USA mode!
it just happened a few days ago. When i log in i pres ''Num lock'' and i type the password but after loging in the numeric keyboard won't work. I tried num lock several times but it doesn't work. It works in windows 7 so it's not a hardware problem. I hate using the number keys on the alphanumeric keyboard.

I am running Ubuntu on an Acer 5742 laptop and running XP on Oracle Virtual box and plugged in externally (keyboard, mouse etc...) I have lost ability on both the laptop numeric keyboard (only the numeric keys) and the external keyboard when plugged in. This happened while I was working in Virtual box and running Windows XP.
When the laptop is on its own the numeric keyboard doesn't work (only numeric keys) either. I have toyed with the number lock and I have un-installed and re-installed both"keyboard input methods" and "input method switcher" within Ubuntu software centre to with no change. Not that I bought the damn computer for the numeric keyboard but it should work.
I've had Ubuntu 9.10 x64 installed on my Asus G60JX-RBBX05 Laptop for a few weeks now, and for the most part its been working pretty well.Then a couple of days ago, I suddenly noticed I could no longer use the numeric keypad. This seemed completely out of the blue, but its possible I received an automatic Update through the Update Manager that hosed it or something. I'm really not sure.Has anyone had a similar experience
I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 in Acer Aspire One together with Windows XP (both on different partitions). The trouble since installing Ubuntu has been that my keyboard has scandinavic layout which includes "" and "" keys. When I assign the layout in Ubuntu's as "FI" instead of "USA" everything is fine. After reboot for some reason the changes made won't stay and I have to change the keyboard layout manually. If I remove "USA" from the list after reboot it'll appear to the list again!
I've tried to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the keyboard configuration code, but it has no effect for the situation. I've tried also command:
Code: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup This has no effect also.
I'm starting to be frustrated for the situation. I really enjoy using Ubuntu instead of XP but this just doesn't make sense that the keyboard layout won't stay on.
I have solved with this forums help most of my problems after upgrade. I have one that seems to remain and I am unable to solve. My function and main qwerty keys work on my wireless usb logitech keyboard. My number pad does not. I have gone thru the keyboard on the system menu. I have chosen my keyboard as it was listed. I have tried most suggestions but nothing will bring it back.
Running Ubuntu 10.10 on Hp Mini 1030nr My wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4312. I have the b43 driver installed. When I disable networking I can change to monitor mode but then it changes back to manage mode when I enable networking again. I tried using airmonNG but it;s not working.
I am trying to get Debian 6 to work on an hp Z400 - the problem is that it came with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295 graphics card; there may be a driver for Linux, but it doesn't matter, because GRUB insists on switching to some sort of graphics mode and the screen just blanks and switches itself off. Is there any way to make sure during installation that GRUB gets configured to stay in character mode only?
TO the sticky: My wireless doesn't work - a primer on what I should do next Section 2 b) I guess it would be easier for the user if she/he would just use one command instead of /sbin/lspci and than /sbin/lspci -n and compare both outputs to find the right section that inhales the hexadecimal numeric IDs for the wireless LAN/wireless/WLAN/bluetooth/..What do you (all and especially the sticky's author, dear Larry Finger) think of alternatives like:
I want to stay in KDE 4.4.5 for a while, while KDE 4.5 gets stable. But now the factory repo. is moving to 4.5, and the stable repo. stayed in 4.4.4., so now no repo has 4.4.5.
am writing a small search program for my class. I have decided to use indexing for my program. Ive researched online about indexing and how search engines do it. If im gonno do that I need to create inverted files to associate files to numbers ( numbers being the index of my paths ) . Now I was wondering what would be the best way to create an inverted file ? I was going to create sql tables using mysql api in C but then again there is no array data type or vectors to store few numbers in a single column in mysql and it is not advised to use Enum or SET
I am useing a PC as a simple display and I need the monitor to stay on for long periods of time. I have set the power saving setting to "presentation" mode and it is not supposed to turning the monitor off. Is there somewhere else I need to adjust this??? I am running OpenSUSE 11.1.
I'm using Opensuse on a small computer that needs to run a web site 24/7/365. It's an mp3 player, it's used for music, the player is an html5 player that runs in fullscreen mode of firefox.It's connected to a TV via HDMI. I've set all possible power options so it never sleed, idle, hibernate or close. Same thing for display, never dim or turn on screen saver. Although the TV is not ALWAYS on the PC's HDMI input, sometime switching to TV Tuner and other time to PC display.So if we switch the tv's input to tuner and the to PC, opensuse won't re-detect the display and the TV will say NO SIGNAL until I completely reboot the PC ... very annoying ... The other problem is that the TV is far from the server so I need to use VNC and re-open firefox, go to the player and re-set fullscreen mode. But worst, I can only use VNC once. If I want to reconnect via VNC, I need to login SSH, restart service and then I can connect ...1. How can we set VNC to ALWAYS accept connection and that from a fresh boot ?
Well, just as the title of this post says, I am having keyboard and mouse problems. Here's the storyMy friend Cody wanted me to take a look at his computer for him (I'm sort of known as a Linux nerd in my school lol) because his keyboard and mouse do not at all work in init 4 mode. I've tried reconfiguring the keyboard and mouse by trying a different module. I've even tried reconfiguring X alltogether by running "X -configure", which didn't work
I played with the graphics in kde4 and seem to have losy my installation. i have tried the rescue system option, recover system options and in desperation (i was just about to reinstall) tried booting in failsafe mode, and it worked!
where do i go to find out what the problem is regarding the normal boot mode? i think my pc is starting to resent the continual use of the reset button!
I've always had a doubt about what means the last numbers after the For example, what could have possibly changed between Mesa package version: 7.8.2-22.1 and 7.8.2-23.1 ????
Thats with every package, including KDE, etc etc. If its the same package, what could change from 2 different release numbers?
I just bought a new system with NVIDIA GeForce 9100 integrated graphics. I used [URL] to install the NVIDIA drivers and utilities. If I use sax2 from the commandline in runlevel 3 (or from KDE) and select LCD 1680x1050 for the display, I am able to test and save the configuration. If I then init 5, KDE starts with the proper display settings. NVIDIA X Server Settings tool shows that I have a Gateway FPD2275W(which is what I have) with display dimensions 1680x1050.
I even have the option to change the refresh rate to 75. I never told the configuration tools what kind of monitor I have, so something detected it. The problem comes when I reboot. The display reverts to 1280x1024 which is not correctly proportioned for my display. The NVIDIA tool then shows some kind of generic monitor, and does not give me any options to configure the display correctly. My system has an AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 820 Processor.
I'm getting a weird charset problem in a chroot'ed system that I kexec'ed into. It is especially noticeable in ncurses programs like aptitude, but it also noticeable in vim. [URL] My locales are configured to en_US.UTF-8, I have choosen my keyboard layout with kbd-config while in the chroot before kexec'ing into it, I've passed the bootkbd= parameter to the kexec'ed kernel, and my TERM variable is set to "linux". I can't try xterm because this chroot system doesn't has X.
EDIT: I just noticed that the keyboard layout I selected is not working properly. All keys work fine except the ones that are specific to my country. Instead of รง I get a weird symbol.
To workaround the kio_smb madness, I set up shares to be mounted via /etc/fstab. It works flawlessly until I suspend my laptop. Coming back from suspend, samba mounts are not being re-mounted automatically. Since I'm new to opensuse, I wish to ask you: Is there a polished way to make this happen, in opensuse approach? Or shall I just go and toy with scripts in the init.d (or what is it in suse)? As much as I could figure, I checked in yast, and smbfs service is signed as "Yes".
I forgot my new password. I followed the guide on how to recover the password but in recovery mode my keyboard doesn't work, I have tried a usb and a ps2 keyboard. What is going on? Or is there another way to reset my password?
I wanted to use ldap to create users on my machine.I got LDAP set up via yast, and it seems to work OK. But when I create a user via LDAP, the system doesn't seem to want to know.LDAP actually creates a home directory for the new user, but the system merely assigns it a UID and nothing else.I have access to another opensuse system which does not behave in this way. I.e. I can set up a user exclusively in LDAP and the system will recognise the new user no problem.I have compared the two ldap configurations to see if there's some magic "propagate LDAP users to Local users" setting, but this doesn't appear to exist
I have a problem with Maverick. Whenever I change my volume or brightness from the keyboard, as soon as the indicator goes down, my mouse automatically switches to drag mode. I have to switch to open terminal by keyboard shortcuts and reboot
