how to get a right click emulation (ctrl+mouse1) working on my single button 1GHz G4 7455
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 3 layouts: USA, Russian and Hebrew. In Hebrew the W key is mapped to apostrophe, so Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout doesn't close tabs in Firefox. There is no workaround for it as I see by now, so I am trying to get it work this way:I want to map Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout(which is actually a Ctrl+') to be a Ctrl+w. Here is what I got from xmodmap:Code:$ xmodmap -pke | grep 25keycode 25 = w W Cyrillic_tse Cyrillic_TSE apostrophe WAs you can see, there are pairs for each layout, each pair tells what happens without and with the Shift key pressed.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just spent a few days ripping out all the broken/buggy apps that are in the opensuse 11.2 official repos so I can finally get working software(openoffice, thunderbird, wine, eclipse, rubygems, rails, and a few others required getting the "official" versions from their respective websites to avoid strange behavior and outright broken functionality).
All of which makes updating more annoying and time-consuming. Why are opensuse packages so different anyway? Anyway, the last thing that I have noticed to fix is Konsole. For some really bizarre reason ctrl+z and ctrl+c do not work without a third keystroke: enter.Maybe this is something new with the KDE team, since they seem bent on making simple things that already work more complex, but given my experience with crappy packages in the suse repos, I am thinking this is the problem. I have looked over all the config settings that I can find and nothing fixes this affront to productivity.
I've been using Kaggregator in KDE-PIM, which uses Konqueror as the browserto go to links from Kaggregator.Unfortunately, Konqueror no longer seems tobe able to Copy highlighted material with Ctrl C, the way we've done it forever.Is this a setting I've missed? Or is this a new "feature" in Konqueror?

100% and keeps swapping over
View 9 Replies View RelatedI currently have Ubuntu installed onto my laptop, on a single drive partitioned into /root /home /swap. I now have an additional spare HD that I was thinking of installing Win XP onto. So If I needed to use XP for a specific program then I could just swap out the HDs instead of having a Dual Boot system on one drive. confirm that by swapping out the HDs this will not affect the Grub Boot Loader and I will be safe to do this without screwing up my Ubuntu, as if it will screw it up I will just stick with Ubuntu on my Laptop and forget about XP.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe hdd that my system boots from is named "sdb". But sometimes it's named "sdc". It changes from boot to boot. There are four hdds in this desktop and my boot disk keeps swapping names with a data disk (sdb and sdc). No raid. Never affects the other two disks. I am running Ubuntu 10.10, but this problem began when I was a running 10.04.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have installed xubuntu. I have a total of 12034MB of main Memory of which ~1000MB are normally used.When I leave the computer and come back, it is swapping a lot. Whenver I display a window (firefox i.E.) that I have not displayed yet since I left the computer alone, I can here the HD working, and the system monitor shows me how more memory is used and less swap space.
But there is absolutely no need for it. I have at least 10000MB of free Memory at all the time!Can I somehow tell my xubuntu installation to stop swapping unless there is really little main memory left (lets say less than 2000MB)?My kernel version is 2.6.35-29-generic because I have trouble with the raw1394 module in the newest version.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits. I need to swap sata hard drives (they are installed in drawers). If I umount and remove a disk, and then put the same drive in it's place, I can mount it again with no problems. If I put another disk in place of the original, it says: mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist. If I reboot, the new disk is mounted correctly (sdc1 is in fstab).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using an Apple Keyboard (DK-layout) on my PC running Ubuntu 10.4. The problem: My key used to type <, > and is swapped with the key used to type and If I connect a standard PC-keyboard with DK-layout using USB, it works just fine. The problem exists both in the console and X. I solved the problem in the console by installing the console-keymaps package, made a copy of dk-latin1.kmap.gz and swapping keycode 86 with keycode 41 and loading the new keymap with the loadkeys command. I only need to figure out how to load the new keymap at boot time.
However, in X, I want to do exactly the same. I suppose I have to use Xmodmap. I simply can't figure out how to do it.
I have two HDs, one is a 80gb OS drive(Parallel ATA) and the other is a 1T storage drive (SATA). Well after each reboot they swap between /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, over and over again. One boot the OS is /dev/sda and the next its /dev/sdb, same goes for the second drive. This makes it difficult to setup fstab so it will mount the large storage drive on boot.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10. My work requires me to frequently swap video cards between an ATI Radeon 5870 card and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX card. My question is: can the ATI driver (fglrx - catalyst 10.2) and the NVIDIA driver (nvidia 190.29) co-exist? Or do I need to reinstall the driver every time I change the card? I would like for the drivers to be able to co-exist so it would only be a matter of restarting my machine with the new card and choose the right xorg.conf file (perhaps from the GRUB menu).

please check your device or remove this var from Conky

If i edit conkyrc and change hwmon 0 for hwmon 1 and vice versa all is ok until next boot, and so it goes on.

I have heavy swapping going top and free are indicating a lot free memory in cached form.Why does the kernel not use this memory instead of killing my desktop by swapping like crazy.
View 6 Replies View RelatedActually I'm not sure that it's swapping like mad: I've done more testing and it looks like there may some interference causing the noise that may be correlating with network usage. I'm accessing a MacMini (with MacOS X 10.4) from my Linux machine using VNC. My Linux machine has 4 GB of ram and I run a lot of various apps on it and I've got no issue at all. It's all snappy and don't hear the hard disk swapping/read/writing too often. Now with VNC, the hard disk is swapping like mad. When I'm moving things on the OS X desktop. So I was thinking of creating a ramdisk and forcing the temp VNC files to go into that ramdisk but the problem is I can't find any temp files.
I've attempted to do that:
#!/bin/bash
while [ true ]
do
lsof | grep vnc
done
The VNC version I'm using is this one:
$ vncviewer -version

No matter how much data is coming from the Mac, there should be plenty of memory (4 GB of ram) so there's really no reason to swap like crazy.
How to restrict the swapping kernel memory and user process memory? Memory locking like mlockall()? Disable swapping feature in linux kernel? My system runs 64-bit CentOS under 6GB RAM.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI've been following grub-common bug #606845 and in coming to a solution for the issue, these guys are using dd as a brute force means of swapping out master boot records or trampling them, if you prefer. (Background: The issue is related to grub and certain xp installations)
An sample snip of code:
dd if=/mbrxp.bin of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
1) Is mbrxp.bin a back-up of the mbr taken before installation of squeeze (or grub in general)?
2) Am I fubar if I didn't make a back-up of the mbr before installing grub?
How do you swap between primary and secondary languages for the keyboard (using GUI not terminal codes since this is for someone else who is a beginner at computing)? I installed the secondary language in the "language" section of yast, but can't see any options for swapping on the fly. Lets say they do 99% of stuff in english, but get an email they want to respond to in the secondary language or want to write a text document using the secondary language, is there a way to switch back and forth on the fly?
