Red Hat / Fedora :: Captured Keyboard - Can Not Enter Anything ?
Jun 24, 2010
I'm using the Readhat Linux Enterprise 5, and I encountered a problem about captured keyboard need your help. I log in after entering the required username and password using keyboard, but then the keyboard is captured, i.e., I can not enter anything using keyboard. Meanwhile the mouse works well all the time. I encountered this problem when I pressed some keys wrongly two days ago, but unfortunatelly I can not find out these exact keys I pressed.
So, for some reason the right side ENTER, period, semi colon, SHIFT, and UP, Down, Left arrow keys have all stopped working on my laptop. I just set up a dual boot with windows xp, and ubuntu.
I checked under the keys, and cleaned them, and no problem. This wouldn't be that bad of a sutuation, I could just re-map the keys. However, when my computer starts, and I enter Bios > Bootloader, I get stuck.
I can use home/end to move up and down, but no way to select which OS I want. I have to plug in a USB keyboard to get into my OS. I don't want to be carrying around a keyboard, otherwise I wouldn't have a laptop.
So, I either need a different bootloader which can use some other keys, or I need a way to remap the enter key all the way back at the bios, so I can trick it and enter my OS,
Edit: Actually, I'll probably need a new keyboard. Ubuntu is pretty good with battery life, so I could boot into ubuntu, then hibernate. So, I need a good key mapper for Ubuntu
this may not be the right place to ask this, but my sister has a macbook and the keyboard does not want to work. i have looked online and i see that the main cause of this problem is in Leopard (correct me if im wrong). So i was wondering if perhaps using linux would solve this problem or if the problem is more hardware related than os related.
Also, how would i go about booting into a linux cd? since u need to enter some keyboard keys at startup and assuming that won't work, is there another way?
I have tried several versions on my netbook and all fail to boot unless i hold down the enter (return) key on the keyboard then it will load slowly i have also tried meego which does the same thing but i want to use UNR 10:10 without having to sit holding the keyboard for 2 minutes.
Toshiba NB200 Windows 7 Installed too UNR 10:10 (have tried 9:10, 10:04 and 10:10)
I setup kdump on sles11sp1, on issuing "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" capture kernel is not booted and kernel dump is not created. Here is my system configuration: Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (x86_64) - Kernel

i want to use tshark to save captured data i want it to save it in a certain directory and every x seconds and 5 files so every x seconds Tshark saves another 5 files
Succeeded in connecting to internet using my wll phone. I can now connect using 'wvdial' command in root terminal. But I want to connect through terminal. I tried 'sudo wvdial' command. Then I am asked for my password. But I cannot type my password there. When I type, nothing appears on the terminal window. Ofcourse there's no problem with my keyboard.
I want to capture a mms stream daily. All works well with that, but I also want to delete any mpg files that are captured from the stream that are more than 7 days old. Will this command work?
I am capturing the same traffic both on client and server. Using Microsoft Network Monitor on client and tcpdump on Linux server.
And when comparing the content of one specific frame captured on two machines, I see it different!
Precisely:
I have SIP communicator on client and opensips on server. Client is doing a REGISTER request to the server. This request contains "Contact:" header, which should contain an IP address of the machine.
When capturend on client, this header contains local private IP address of a machine with SIP communicator (which is 192.168.***). But when captured on server, this header contains the outer address of my provider's router.
I have 2 possible explanations:
1) Some unknown agent acting between my client and server
2) opensips itself is acting at a so low level, that the result of it's frame manipulation is visible by tcpdump.
I am interested if the second option is possible? opensips is a proxy, so does proxy able to manipulate frames directly in the medium?
If so, the is it possible to run tcpdump at a lower level, so that it see packets before opensips processing?
I have an X-Station 25 synth, which has worked fine in the past on Ubuntu. Recently made a fresh install on Xubuntu, and for whatever reason, I'm getting no sound coming out when I just select USB audio.If I go into Sound Preferences, I can see the device. I can even select it for sound input. Hell, if I press some keys on the keyboard, I can see some of the squares on the input level go green.Evidently, there IS sound coming in via the USB connection, and Audacity is capable of recording it.
However, the only way of hearing it is by putting headphones directly into the unit and listening to the monitor output signal. The audio coming in, as detected, is not being played from my laptop speakers/headphones.Am I just missing something here, and that's MEANT to be the only way to hear the audio out?In alsamixer, there are no controls for the Xstation, and nothing seems to be muted. I've upgraded the firmware to the most recent version as well.
When i try and log in with my user it is giving me an error I have removed gnome from the computer and put kde as my desktop I can login with root can't enter home directory using / is the error
I use ext4 for the lvm2 home partition on Fedora 11. Yesterday, I must shrink my home partition and the operation crashed. Then a new ext4 partition becomes a backup "cp -R /mnt/backup/* /home" + chown + chgrp and boot Fedora again.
The login failed and the message of Fedora is "Cannot enter home directory. Using /."
After that i have installed Windows Server 2008. My boot option has changed and now i am having no option to enter into my Fedora 12. How can i access my fedora 12
I've installed F14 to replace another distribution on my PC. I chose to use KDE. I used to have a separate partition for my user home to be mounted as /home. During the installation I instructed the installer to do so (without formatting of course). At the first boot I created a use with the very same name as I used to have. I got the warning about the home being already there and I said "yes, convert that ownership and selinux stuff so I can use that very directory as my home". At the graphical login I get a dialog saying I cannot enter my home and that it will use / instead. Of course the login process fails. If I switch to the character console (CTRL-ALT-F2) and do a login I actually get the very same error. But, if I hit "cd" (change directory to $HOME), then I get in the proper directory.
Update 1. I guessed it was a SELinux problem. And I manually disabled it into /etc/selinux/config. Now I'd like to fix this issue, because I'd like to have SELinux working.
I have a Fedora 11 box and I am confused about cron, where exactly do I enter the cron jobs? For example, I have a job that needs to run every half hour.
I have just upgraded my old CentOS system,but something goes wrong(1) I can not enter database to MySQL from web page,and I had a "add new contact info" available there before .(2) I want to install SugarCRM to my web page,but SugarCRM can't create database with the right username and password . Other thing is OK, I can get data from MySQL from web page. Here is the package I have : php-5.1.6-3.el4s1.10 mysql-5.0.82sp1-1.el4_8
Does it because that these two packages don't match each other?
After booting i see gdm screen, i enter my login and passwords, screen restarts and then i see again same gdm screen where i must enter my login and password. It can be endlessly.Ok...

I select my location and 'Save' it, this damn thing continues to pop-up, either on the same Search, or when a new search is made.I hoped Adblock Plus would stop it but it doesn't detect it automatically and trying to do it manually doesn't work either.I was sure that there would be a plugin for this but there seems to be no mention of the problem in eBay-related plugins.Opera used to do this occasionally as well, so it's not confined to Firefox.
What are they? Before they were not required to set up an internet connection(wired, I'm giving up on wireless for the moment) and now they are. I asked the lady at my isp and she didn't know. What should I enter in the blank for search domains?
Disappearance of ubuntu screen off and not being able to enter it. To solve this problem we have to we add to Menu List And through the opening of Fedora menu.lst

But the most important point that must do it is to decrease 1 of partition. In the sense that the partition (hd0, 3) becomes (hd0, 2).
I have installed Fedora11 onto my Dell laptop; as nice as it is whenever I log in I am prompted to "enter password for default keyring to unlock". Now, I don't recall ever setting one up, each password I try (e.g. the user or root) fails and gives me the prompt again. After a few clicks of "deny" it does go away but I want to know what it is and if I can stop it from prompting me).
Since Feb 12, I am unable to enter accented characters on any application. I have a Spanish (Latin American) keyboard, where I have to press the accent key and then the vowel I want to have an accent. What happens is this: I press the diacritic key, and then the vowel, but NOTHING appears. Exceptionally, Java apps (eg. Netbeans) show a square with a question mark inside: Something else is strange. Normally, if you press the accent key twice, the diacritic appears by itself, ie. (I copy-pasted that). So, this works for the following accents: But not for these: The letters show fine on my machine, eg. in Nautilus, in Firefox; I am just unable to type them. There were some updates done by yum on the day this started happening, but I have no idea if that's the cause of all this... I tried undoing the update transaction but it failed.
I just installed Fedora 12 on HP Pavilion (dual boot with Windows vista). I made it all the way through the installation and created my user account. A few seconds later I got the login screen asking for my password. I enter the password and get "Authentication Failure."
The name that shows up on the login screen is my full name, not the user name that I created. Is that wrong?
Some of your private key files are encrypted for security reasons. In order to read them you have to provide us with the pass phrases. Server your.server.com:55 (RSA)
Enter pass phrase:
Server www.blahblahblah.com:55(RSA)
Enter pass phrase:
How to login ?
The cursor is blinking but I am unable to enter the pass phrase; the only thing I can do is press the power button to shutdown. Even if I leave the PC running for a hour I can't type anything.
I know how to resolve the problem if I am able to login.
I just upgraded from F14 to F15 and have a problem with entering the password for the encrypted FS: when booting with the latest entry in the bootloader:
