I'm using 11.3 64 KDE upgraded from 11.2. Every time I hit the shift key, the mute toggles. I've already tried changing the settings for kmix under global key shortcuts. Any ideas on how I stop or change this behavior?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed a new ubuntu system (10.10) as media center. I am running Gnome and xbmc on it. Until here, everything perfect!
I bought one of those cheapass media center keyboards with multimediakeys. Except for one, they all work out of the box.
My problem: When i press the volume down key, gnome lowers the volume of my mediacenter. This might be good for most users, but i have a surround receiver/amplifier (Denon AVR3310) that should handle the sound.
In fact, i am looking for this: When i press the volume up/down key, instead of changing the volume of my mediacenter, gnome should execute a script i wrote. This script sends commands to my receiver (using the serial port or the network connection) to lower/raise the volume.
Small additional question: I would like to get the one button that doesn't work yet to work. I have a 'mc' (mediacenter) button on my keyboard. I would like to make this launch xbmc. When running 'xev', i don't see any output when i press the button.
I upgraded to Fedora 12 a few days ago and it seems that my X session is timing out after an idle period. Where can I change the settings or disable this behavior which was not happening on Fedora 11?

Is there a way to change the default behavior of the power/logoff icon on the taskbar?(not on Ubuntu now and forget what the bar is called) Instead of asking me what I want to do (power down,restart, log off, etc) I would like it to power down the PC.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been running two Ubuntu 10.10 servers for some time now. My main server is 10.111.1.65 and backup server is 10.111.66. The main server is to host my website and ssh remote access (Key auth). The backup server pulls via ssh key auth what is in my /var/www (among other folders) to the backup home dir (encrypted). For some reason today I checked the uptime and it was 7 hours on both servers. All my other computers on the same power supply have a uptime of over a month. For some reason I now cant access backup via ssh from main's key (I could before) and I can not get to the home dir, see below:

How do I change the screen blanking behavior on Linux virtual terminals?
For example, if I switch to a VT from X, login, and leave the system alone for 5 minutes or so, the screen will blank like a screensaver. It comes back with any keypress, like a screensaver.
Mostly I just want to change the timeout, but I'm also interested in other settings.
If it helps, one of my systems is running Ubuntu 10.04 with the stock graphics drivers. fbset shows the console using the radeondrmfb framebuffer device.
I recently installed Opensuse 11.2 on my Acer 3680 laptop. One problem I have notice is that while I can mute my volume control using the keyboard shortcuts, I cannot unmute it using the keyboard short cut. When I press the keyboard shortcut, which is maped to XF86audiomute, it display the popup indicating that the control is unmute, the control is not really unmute. I can unmute it by using the volumen control in the system tray.
I am puzzled, this did not happen under Fedora 12 nor Linux Mint 8 / Ubuntu 9.10. What could be the cause of the issue and what can I do to locate the source of the problem?
I recently built a new computer, and my sound works fine, but the speakers don't mute when I plug my headphones in. The headphones work, other than there is also sound coming from the speakers.

View 5 Replies View RelatedFor example, when I run top I usually press "C" so I can see the explicit command being run not the executable name if you will.
Is there a way I can modify top such that when I do:
% top
The result is initially displaying the command line and not the executable command?
For example I see initially:
chromium-browser
But would prefer to see:
/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chromium-browser --type=plugin --plugin-pat

So Ive had this issue off and on for a while now, but have never really looked to see if others have had it or how I can fix it. Essentially the problem is that kde seems to randomly decide that I am holding down the shift or ctrl key.Im using a logitech cordless desktop s510, running openSUSE 11.3 x86_64. Ive had this problem on and off using a couple of different logitech keyboards. The most often time when it happens with the shift key is when im coding, and the control key when Im running a keyboard shortcut.
I can usually fix the issue by holding down the key that kde thinks is pressed for like 5-10 seconds and releasing, however sometimes I have to unplug and then replug in the usb adapter for kde to get things right. This doesnt happen if im running a non-graphical terminal (thouhg I cant say whether it happens in gnome as I dont have gnome installed) so I am thinking its related to kde. The keyboard can be plugged into other computers and they dont act the same way.
This gets esspecially annoying when Im coding (because of all the symbols) and generally when the issue occurs. I think it may have something to do with the key being pressed for over a certain length.
I have recently upgraded to 11.4 and also had to renew an AP (HP ProCurve 10ag). This was several years old but replaced an identical model which had been working well until recently. I thought it would be appropriate to flash newer firmware as the device four releases behind the times. The access point serves partner's XP laptop and my openSUSE 11.4 laptop and after flashing the firmware both machines would make a connection and then break and remake, to the extent that the openSUSE machine became unusable. I thought it was an encryption problem and spent hours changing the AP and Client setups to no avail

openSUSE 11.3, 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop, KDE 4.4.x, 3.0-P4, 2.5g mem. I replaced PATA-OEM optical drive with SATA-OEM works fine with all apps outside of and except with this widget. No problems until the swap. I have performed some updates and I have not put the PATA drive back in to see if the behavior changed because it was failing. It could be an update but the optical drive swap is my first suspect. This now. If I hover cursor over notifier widget icon "last plugged in device" will pop up with accurate last device until a click on the widget icon and selection of action for the recently plugged in device. Selected actions work fine ... once.
Then it no longer updates the new or retains the previous DVD/CD (or any USB external drive when connected) entry. Closing after viewing but with out selecting an action results in an empty list also. The menu remains empty there after and only removal of the widget and reinstall makes the devices appear again ... once. Then the behavior repeats if the widget is removed and reinstalled. I was wondering if this is likely to be a udev/rules.d problem related to the swap of the optical drives? The 70-persistant-cd.rules file shows two cd's after the swap:
[Code]...
If I delete or rename the 70-persistant-cd.rules file in udev/rules.d will it truly be recreated at boot and might it this fix the issue? Should I look elsewhere first at some var logs for errors? Reinstall 11.3 and let auto detect and config sort it out is also and option but I'd rather not, heh.
I have a new 64 bit workstation (Dell Vostro i7) which I usually keep running for extended periods (read; days and weeks). I have realized that the system completely ignores when I insert a USB stick (LaCie 8Gb USB Key). By ignore, I mean it doesn't get mounted, and /media/ is empty. Interesting enough if I go into YAST and probe for Hardware Information, I find my USB stick there under the USB section. There is no specific entry for the key in /etc/fstab by the way, as far as I know I don't need to specify how a USB stick should be mounted. Auto-mount, when it actually works, is perfectly fine.

When KDE was just about to kick in, I saw a lot of new text I had never seen before scroll past very, very fast. Then it stopped and I could see it had something to with ALSA, but I couldn't really read anything. KDE started and... now I have no sound. I checked kmixer, it looks normal. It doesn't seem to be mute. I ran alsamixer in the command line, it doesn't seem to be mute either. I ran Kcontrol and checked the audio section, couldn't figure anything out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI found a curious issue with my new Dell XPS 8100. On my old Inspiron, as soon as I plugged in the headphones they muted the speakers. That's how it should be, because you listen to headphones so you don't blast your music all over the room. But now, on the 8100, the speakers still blast even if the headphones are plugged in. Headphones Also work, so they're getting a clear signal. It's just simultaneously being played in the rear speakers too.

I think this is a bit of a complicated problem so bear with me while I explain it. I'm using an HP Laptop with Ubuntu 10.10. The laptop has the touch buttons for mute and volume up/down, and I use them all the time (at least when I was on Windows). I've very recently switched to Ubuntu and now those keys are causing problems with a game called Minecraft. Basically, when I'm playing it and use those keys, it brings me out of full screen (if I'm using fullscreen) and then seems to mute like it should, but the problem is, it doesn't UNmute when I press it again. The lighted button on the laptop goes back to showing its unmuted, but the game still has no sound. I've tried messing with the sound settings inside the game, and doing all these weird combos of when I mute/unmute and all, nothing seems to help. I usually have to restart the computer to fix it, but then if I use the button again, it does the same thing.
P.S. does anyone know of a way for these buttons to NOT interrupt full screen? I had the same problem with it interrupting fullscreen apps on windows, but then I used a program called 3RVX and it fixed it. Is there anything like this on linux?
when i select mute on the volume control in the ubuntu control panel the sound gets muffled but does not mute. also if i plug in headphones the headphones are fine but the speaker sound just goes muffled not off completely as expected. this happens in iplayer and videos. rythmbox works fine. running ubuntu 10.10 64bit on samsung r720 and lspci | grep udio returns
