I have a wireless numpad that was designed for windows, so some of the keys rather than sending a keycode send a sequence of keys to do a task.
For example the excel button sends(from xev)
win+R
excel
return
Is there a program that can look for this sequence then perform a different action? i know xmodmap can map individual keys but couldn't get it doing multiple.
Recently I have upgraded my archlinux and then my compiz is strange. When I press Alt key, the window menu, which contains "minimize", "close" and others, will pop up. This strange action disabled all shortcutd that need Alt key, such as Alt-Tab, and even key bindings in VIM. Is there any who can tell me what causes it? And which configuration is related to the keyboard action in compiz?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm working with Opensuse 11.2 and KDE 4.3.5. I tried to restrict the run command (with Alt-F2) in the kdeglobals file:
~/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals
[KDE Action Restrictions]
run_command=false
But there is no effect. With Opensuse 10.3 and KDE 3.5 it works fine.
Suse 11.2 and kde, I'm trying to set up a screensaver. All the facilities seem to be there when I go System>Desktop and set the required details, but then I find the screensaver is non-operative, the screen just going blank after the preset time delay.
The set-up system does do the demo of the screensaver OK, so the software for it must be there and at least partly accessible. But it doesn't seem to get through to the system.
I have seperatly tried to install Federa, Ubuntu and Mandriva on a second SATA drive and all three installations freeze at the beginning with a black screen. I tried the Ubuntu text installer and was successfull but was only able to boot into it once because it froze everytime after that. I unplugged my WindowsXP SATA drive throughout.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a server with logs running. People connect to server. This server is running the same application as a failover just in case it stops. I have a doubt that some clients are connecting from different places as the nodeID is changed SO I need to make a script which reads both logs that are called server1.log and server2.log and where it finds a nodeID which does not match in both logs it action with fail2ban
I don't know whether this can be done directly via fail2ban since it is the program which I know that reads between logs but as far as I know it cannot match data with another log
This is an Example:
Code:
Log 1
03:00:08.905 client qwe696s@894b226f7846d9df, running version 2.1
Log 2
03:00:08.905 client qwe696s@894b226f7846d9dd, running version 2.1
Quote:
qwe696s is the username
894b226f7846d9df is the NODEID
AS you can see from the logs nodeid is different
I am trying to unlink the action triggered by my fn-F5 key, which is a toggle wlan action.
I really don't know were this kind of action is defined, but I want to replace it by another one.
It should happen either by unlinking that action or by overriding.
The key is catched by HAL:

It runs fine in the other OS installed but in Ubuntu there is a lag to every action, eg if I drag a window it follows about 3 seconds later. Basically everything is delayed for some reason. It is becoming very annoying and I am contemplating a reinstall, could someone please prevent this. The system is running on an old Athlon 2800 and I have attached a screenshot of running processes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter a hard drive failure I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in the secondary drive. The intention was to have keep the machine functional until I could reinstall XP and have a dual boot. I replaced the failing drive and reinstalled XP.
The main reason for keeping windows is for using Itunes and a ton of music on the Ipod. I can get into the Ubuntu using Super Grub2 and did try repairing Grub 2 with rescutux. I can of course use the super grub2 disk to boot into Ubuntu but would like to repair Grub2 so I have the choice at boot without the disk.

I have security guidelines for my business OS which require me to active screensaver.
Nevertheless, I dislike screensavers because I sometime read a while, but I do not want to go offline from my IM in the meantime.
Anyways, I am looking for a solution. So I though about writing a little shell script (connected with a cronjob), which just moves the mouse every 10 minutes or so.
Unfortunately, I have no clue how to interact with the mouse in a shell script.

All rolls well, but I'd like to have the component be "followed" - if there is a drag on the component, the form should be visible. I'd like to make a puzzle where the player can see the perimeter of the piece to see if it fits where (s)he'd want to drop it. Before I delve into the tons of code, I'd like to know if that (the following) can be done.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I was reading this thread on internet privacy and decided to 'upgrade' my system. I installed privoxy and tor and chained them from squid so it looks like this: iceweasel >> squid >> privoxy >> tor. All is working well except when I go to edit my privoxy default.action file I get a fatal error. I've got version 3.0.9-1 The original line in the newly installed default.action file. #+hide-referer{forge}
I edited it by simply removing the #. +hide-referer{forge} Then:su -c '/etc/init.d/privoxy force-reload'And I get this in the logfile.Sep 14 16:41:36.260 Privoxy(7f4fa64756e0) Fatal error: can't load actions file '/etc/privoxy/default.action': first needed line (361) is invalid: +hide-referer{forge} I've even copy/pasted from the manual and to no avail.Have I been looking at to much text for the last two days?What am I missing?
Dell Latitude C610 laptop with Debian Squeeze.I am using the computer as a print and file server, accessing it with ssh, so I don't need the display (which is busted anyway). I want to close the lid without having the computer suspend. Could not find a way to make it happen with gnome-power-preferences or the BIOS settings. There is a script, /etc/acpi/lid.sh, that runs when the laptop lid switch changes. Part of the script is shown here:
Code: Select allgrep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state # this is a file of 1 line like "state: open" or presumably "state: closed"
if [ $? = 0 ] # The brackets evaluate to True when the lid is closed.
then
if [ x$LID_SLEEP = xtrue ]; then
[ -x /etc/acpi/sleep.sh ] && /etc/acpi/sleep.sh # i.e., if this file exists, then run it.
exit
fi
... there's more ...
The stuff that gets executed after the if [ #$ = 0 ] is the stuff that suspends the computer. So I just replaced the brackets with something that is certain to be false, so it will never happen:
Code: Select allif [ 1 = 2 ]
I admit this is FAR from an elegant solution, but it seems to work and it doesn't fubar the system.
Title says it all really. I can move the mouse around but can't select stuff by tapping the pad. I have synaptics installed which works in Arch and Slackware. Not in F12 though.
