i need to have the time of occurence for mouse event in xinput,right now i run
Code:
xinput test <device_id> >log.txt
(for finding device_id using xinput list)
[code]...
I know how to deal with a mouse click event like so:
Code:
But was happens when I am dealing with mouse dragging? Will my implementation of mouseDragged() get called for every pixel moved? So I just getX() and getY() like with a mouse click?
Also, in order to know when mouse dragging stops and starts, do I also have to put code in mousePressed and mouseReleased?
My mouse has high dpi and is too fast even on lowest speed and acceleration settings.
To fix this I always run the following command via the terminal code...
CNEE(1) General Commands Manual says this. RECORD OPTIONS --first-last Print only first and last of multiple successive MotionEvent. So I try this. my test window is Calculator 3.14.1 cnee --record --mouse --keyboard --time 5 --store-mouse-position --first-last --stop-key h -o xnee.xns -e xnee_record.log -v;The result is, xnee.xns lists every mouse movement.But I only need to record the mouse location when there is a mouse button event. it seems --first-last does not work. How can I make it work?I use
hardware HP pavillion 20.
The only avalible resolution is 1600x900.
/etc/debian_version 8.1
GNOME Terminal 3.14.1
xnee 3.19
after migrating my Ubuntu box from 10.4 to 10.10 my middle click button does not work.
If I test using ...
Code:
xinput test <device id>
... all my buttons are mapped but one (the middle click): when I use it nothing is logged in the console.
This is the ouput of my mouse properties:
Code:
~$ xinput list-props 8
Device 'Razer DeathAdder':
Device Enabled (117):1
[Code]....
I use middle click frequently (opening links in new tabs in Firefox or Copy&Paste in terminal)
It takes an exceptionally long time for basic graphic actions to occur like switching tabs in Firefox, redrawing windows that have been (un)maximized/minimized, and switching between windows. My video card is not a bad one, a GeForce 9500 GT and Windows handles it just fine. I'm using the current NVIDIA drivers 265.35. It seems like if I can't get some better response time I'll be using Windows much more.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny solution using awk/sed/regexp or other standard linux utility (this is for a mix of RH versions)? I am dealing with some very large application log files. I want to see everything that has been written to the log since the last application restart.
For an example take a log file like this:
Code:
# cat test.log
1 msg
2 msg
3 restart 1
4 msg
5 restart 2
6 msg
The following command is close to what I want:
Code:
# awk '/restart/,G' test.log
3 restart 1
4 msg
5 restart 2
6 msg
But the awk command grabs the first restart not the last. If it was working the way I wanted I would see something like this:
Code:
# awk '/restart/,G' test.log
5 restart 2
6 msg
So, I need something in that search pattern that says look for the last occurrence. I know how to do this with a pipe line - I could reverse the file and then do a similar awk and reverse back, or I could find the number associated with the last restart and then use that in the awk search. But these just take too long because the file is too big.
I know how to replace a particular instance (say 3rd one) of a word in a line using sed based on the sed one-liners. However I would like to replace a particular instance of a word in the entire file.
For example, here is a file:
Code:
John
Betty
Jack
Ron
Jack
Paul
So now I would like to replace the second instance of Jack (in red color) with "Rob" (for example). Not quite sure how to do that? I tried couple of things from here but they did not work.
I have a Logitech Media Play mouse with many buttons. I'm using xbindkeys to create some shortcuts to programs e.g. firefox, gnome-terminal--these work wonderful. What I cannot figure out is how to get the buttons to work for the media player(Ubuntu>System>Keyboard Shortcuts>Sound). I set shortcuts using my win key and letters, hoping to use xbindkeys to send out a keystroke. I have tried to use xmacro but to no avail. xdotool was not helpful, I think it may be outdated(desktop/workspace functions did not work).
My preferred option would be to get mouse events to keystrokes working with xbindkeys and program x(x being whatever works); however, just getting my media buttons to interact with the media play is my ultimate goal.
How do I count the number of occurrence characters in a string in an efficeint way ?
How do I reverse the words in a string with out using temp variables if possible . (if not possible use temp variables ?
Why do I specify dependedcies for header files in the Makefile ?
I used a command Code:
grep -r err_sys ./
its output is
Code:
./tcpclitime.c:err_sys("socket error");
./tcpclitime.c:err_sys("connect error");
./tcpclitime.c:err_sys("write error");
./tcpclitime.c:err_sys("shutdown error");
./tcpclitime.c:err_sys("read error, n = %d", n);

Is it possible some how to replace all the occurrences of word err_sys by printf.

I want to substitute every occurance of "( S" to "(S" in my file (the quotes aren't included in my file. Its just there to specify what my pattern is)
This is my attempt to do it and the error message I get.
Code:
denish@ubuntu:~/Desktop/tgrep files$ sed 's/^( (S$/(S/g' test > test2
sed: -e expression #1, char 16: Unmatched ( or (
The "( )" has a different purpose in sed. So how exactly do I specify a ( in sed as a pattern and not as the special function?
I am using Debian linux. I have 100 timers running. If a timer expired which will generate a signal and it was mapped to a same function handler. All the timers are mapped to one function handler. The problem is if the timer expires one at a time, the function handler called at a time. But if the 2 timers expires at a time, the function handler is called one time only instead 2 times. Is it possible to invoke the function handler as many times based on timer expirary happens simultaneoulsy?

how I can save xinput settings? I'm running Peppermint Linux on an eeepc 701.After a few weeks, I've finally figured out which settings to configure with the xinput command to get my touchscreen working correctly. However, when restart the netbook all the settings are lost and I have to reconfigure each time. I've found threads saying to save settings in xorg.conf file, but apparently my system doesn't have this file.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Elo AccuTouch 2216 USB touchscreen that seems automatically supported by a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04.
However, to actually use it correctly, I need to run some xinput commands to invert the Y axis and calibrate:
Code:
These properties are shown by xinput list-props and documented as properties in the evdev Xorg input driver man page.
My questions is - where can I configure or save these settings so I don't have to ever enter again? On older versions of Ubuntu for serial touchscreens I'd add to xorg.conf, but that seems to be depreciated and these are listed as properties instead of options.
