General :: Define A Keyboard Layout / Input Method For Ubuntu In Python?
Jun 20, 2010defining keyboard layouts in linux (ubuntu 10.04 here). there does not seem to be any easy, graphical way to define keyboard mappings (except for keyboardlayouteditor, but frankly, i do not understand the installation description.i am using an apple aluminum keyboard with a german layout, but no matter what i do the (<>) and (^°) keys are always swapped (i did manage to change the default behavior for the f1...f12 keys from multimedia back to 'ordinary', application-centric... all you have to do is add the line echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode to /etc/rc.local... this is so bloody obvious i am ashamed i had to search the web for this!).
adding to my distress, i find the chinese IMEs a horror (not a single one of the many i tried does anywhere come near google pinyin for windows), and have gotten neither ibus nor scime to work in a satisfactory way for me. i find linux keyboard handling a morass. i know this must be one of the hardest problems in computer science, since this subject gets so convoluted no matter whether its on windows or in-the-browser javascript. as a linguist i am well aware of the inherent complications proper text handling poses, but looking at descriptions how to configure xkb makes building interstellar spaceships look like a cakewalk.
find a place in the system where keystrokes are recorded;read out those codes (could be scan codes or character codes) using a daemon (implemented in python; i heard you have to listen to IOCTL or somesuch); when certain code combinations appear, switch them to do what you want;applications now get to see a X where formerly the got to see a U and vice versa;profit!
Is there a place, in ubuntu / linux systems that does allow reading out keyboard codes? Is there a way to block processing of such keyboard actions until an intercepting daemon has processed them? Would such an interceptor work for a broad range of use cases? like on the command line, in a gtk app, in wine, in firefox and so on? An alternative would actually be to grok keyboardlayouteditor, so if someone could post about a readable, complete installation instruction or point out installable packages, that'd be great, too.
Red Hat / Fedora :: Define User /password For Sasl?
Mar 26, 2011I need define a user /password for sasl but want the authentication at runtime be automatic - no explicit prompting the user while accessing a tcp socket with some applications that need the authentication (e.g libvirt)
so I try : saslpasswd2 -c -p -a libvirt <user>
and it hangs (if i now press Enter it says : "invalid parameter supplied") . if I avoid the -p flag the above commad works fine and prompts for password and later when using the tcp it prompts for the above defined user/password and autheticates ok .
But I want without the explicit authentication
The man pages says -p Pipe mode - saslpasswd2 will neither prompt for the password nor verify that it was entered correctly. This is the default when standard input is not a terminal.
In the past (before some upgrading of libvirt via rpm) I had the SASL authentication at runtime done automatically with no explicit prompting the user

Nov 5, 2009I have a section of a script that is supposed to change the filename of similar files in a directory. It works the way I need it to work, except that I would like to input the new filename each time it runs without having to edit the script.
I capture 5-6 images into ~/screenshots. They are labeled Picture 1.png, Picture 2.png, etc. I would like to be able to rename them as Lesson 1.png, Lesson 2.png, and so forth. It works if I hardcode the new NAME (Lesson) into the script, but I want to replace NAME with a variable that I can input at a prompt or pass into the script from another. I have tried setting a variable and replacing "Lesson" with $variable in line #11, but that leaves me with only the extension and no filename.
I have also tried using $1 on the command line:
Here is what I have that works:

Programming :: User Input Bash Script
Apr 28, 2010I've written a bash script that allows a user to input a directory location to find out the size of the directory. However, if the user inputs a directory and finds its size then inputs another directory then wants to quit, the script asks the user numerous times if he wants to quit!! The script won't exit until the number of times the user looks at a directory is reached! What gives?
Here's the script:

View 9 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: C - User To Input The Name Of A File As An Argument
Aug 5, 2010Write a program that requires the user to input the name of a file as an argument. If the user fails to include one argument it should make use of a thread that handles a signal. The signal handler should tells the user Incorrect number of arguments and then calls the terminate signal on the process.
If the numbers of arguments are correct then the program should allocate memory space to the file (5MB) and create a child process that requests the user for a character that it should send to the parent. The child should keep request for data until the user keys in the character O. During each request it should pause for 10 seconds, send the character to the parent and then requesting again for another character.
The parent should get the character from the child. Do not make the parent wait for the child to finish requesting for data. Make use of pipes to facilitate communication between the parent and the child. A second child should be created to read and display data from the file. Make use of any appropriate Inter Process Communication technique to ensure that the second child and the parent do not access the file simultaneously (Mutual exclusion).
Programming :: Working With User Input In Bash
Jun 2, 2009I've been using python/bash to help myself automate things for a long time, however I am curious. One reason I use python more is because I don't quite know how to work with user input in Bash, such as getting it to ask for input and wait, and then placing that user input into a command.
Here's an example of a script I use from time to time for converting OGG video files into AVI.
How could I write this same script in Bash? Keep in mind I am mostly self taught, so I am by no means an expert programmer.

Programming :: Array Size Base On User Input?
Oct 27, 2010If I have an array which its size is based on the user input, from some material, I need to use malloc function to allocate memory for that array what is known dynamic array. Don't forget to free it.hat's fine, however, I like to try things out even I know the program will crash.I have written some test program on my Mac using C language like this:int width = 0;//get user input, and assign the input value to width, for example, 3char * array_var[width];and width is an int, its value will be assigned by the user input. The point is, this program work as expected, for example, in command line, I input 3, then array_var length is 3, its size is 3 * sizeof(char *).

Aug 9, 2009I have a script im having some problems with, what I need is to have the system generate a random password for me and use that password when creating new users to it.
System is Debian Lenny and script is in bash.
The program is znc. I have made it so that it will generate the random password on the shell but the problem is to use it in the bnc software.
To make a password there the command is znc --makepass and look like this:
My question is now if it would be possible to put in the script so it would "answer" when it need those passwords ? the random password that is generated is in a variable called $setpass and is NOT crypted.
Or is there any other software that would be able to generate that md5 string for me ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Install :: User Account Refuses Keyboard Input?
Dec 18, 2009openSuse v11.1
Linux 2.6.27.39-0.2-default x86_64
VirtualBox v3.1.0
One user account completely ignores all keyboard input. No other account demonstrates this bizarre behavior. The faulty account has had occasional keyboard difficulty but it has always been related to the Virtual Machines (VirtualBox); the hosting account always functioned correctly.
Then the ban on keyboard input. Poof! "Keyboard? What keyboard? I don't see no stinking keyboard!"
It is not the physical keyboard. Three different hardware exhibit the same fault. It is not the motherboard; two mb's show the same fault. It is only that one account. And I even took the Windows route of re-installing the OS (what a waste of time that was).
If something changed, I am not aware of it (although something must have).
