Ubuntu / Apple :: Making The COMMAND Key The CONTROL Key?
Jul 30, 2011If you're familiar with macs, you know that they use command keys instead of control..
If I want to select all I press COMMAND + A not CONTROL + A copy is COMMAND + C, paste is COMMAND + V, quitting an application is COMMAND + Q.
I am used to this, and I would like to change the command key to be the control key, and the macs control key to be the "windows" key.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Control CRT Via Command Line On An Imac G3?
Mar 20, 2011I have forgotten how to turn the display on/off via command-line on an imac g3.how this can be done?(Google brings up lots of results which use "xset dpms ..", but this does not really apply to me since I don't usually run X).

May 14, 2011Is there a way to easily make the command key function as the control key on a macbook pro in these modern times of 2011? I tried one of the command-line based tutorials and couldn't get it to work. Seeing as I have little idea as to what I was doing, I'm going to need a gui. But come Natty, nothing appears to be working. I would think that this is a common question, so I'm sure there is something simple I'm overlooking.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Using Apple's Remote App To Control Box?
Jul 30, 2011First some background: I currently have iTunes running on a Vista box attached to my TV. I have an Ubuntu box running 11.04 and shairport which serves as remote speakers for the iTunes server. This works fairly well as I can control it with my iPhone, or iPad etc. Very slick interface and my wife loves it .
But I would prefer to not use iTunes to as the server. I would like to let that Vista box sleep most of the day. Doing a little bit of reading it sounds like I should be able to use mt-daapd as a replacement for iTunes. So I installed firefly and gave it a shot. I can get it streaming music fine. But I cannot Apple's "Remote" app to add the new library. When I did some poking I read that I should make a file that ends in ".remote" and put my device name + the pairing passcode from my iPhone in this file.
When I enter the "Add Library" mode on my iPhone it should broadcast an mDNS event. And in fact it looks like it does because: avahi-browse -r -k _touch-remote._tcp Can see my iPhone. But when I do a tail -f on the mt-daapd logfile I never see a connection come up. I have tried debug level 8 in the messaging.Still nothing. In my search for a fix I noticed mt-daapd is no longer being developed but there is forked-daapd. This is actually where I found the instructions for pairing via Remote.
Should I bail on mt-daapd? Will there someday be Ubuntu support for forked-daapd?
Ubuntu / Apple :: Fan Control For Mactel-support Repo
Apr 30, 2010One of the most long-lived discussions regarding running Ubuntu on Macs is the problem of excessive heat. There exist solutions for every single case, but they are somewhat hard for the newcomer to find.
This post is a request for a fan-control solution suitable for all macs, to eventually be put in the mactel-support repository. I know there are several fan-control solutions out there, and my hope is that this thread will single out one of them to improve upon to the point that everybody can install and use it on their mac.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Pommed And Brightness Control Not Working
Oct 10, 2010I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Macbook Pro 6,2 and try as I might can't change the brightness of my screen whatsoever. I cant use "echo 100> /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness" because the folder does not exist. Pommed, when run using "sudo pommed -d" complains with "Failed to access brightness node: No such file or directory".
I have the mbp-nvidia-bl driver installed *only* (removed nvidia-bli because I had seen in other threads that the two conflicted). I've tried searching the forums and the web but nothing is helping me so far. Biggest roadblock for me using ubuntu is having the headache of using a much to dim screen(or currently a much too bright screen)

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu / Apple :: MacBookPro5,5 Random Loss Of Brightness Control?
Jan 31, 2010My MacBookPro5,5 (also known as the June 2009 Unibody MBP) is having brightness problems. Usually, with OOTB Ubuntu, I can control the brightness flawlessly with the keyboard keys labeled F1 and F2 with no problems once I install the nvidia_bl driver. Pommed improves the experience, giving me keyboard brightness.
Since installing yesterday, the brightness control randomly stopped working. Xev reports that the brightness up and down keys return a keycode (whereas F7 - F12, the playback and volume keys do not; both sets control their respective stuff natively)... this shouldn't happen. nvidia_bl is loading properly according to dmesg; so this problem is baffling.
The Gnome brightness applet does not work, nor does auto dimming. The applet displays a helpfully-apt red circle-with-slash mark. "echo x | sudo tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness" still works to change the brightness manually. I can get the Gnome brightness working by manually changing the brightness, killing gnome-power-daemon, and then restarting it via the terminal in no-daemon mode.
Fedora :: Keeps Reversing To The 1st Of July 2004 At 1 Am?
Mar 5, 2010I have been experiencing some problems with my time and date settings. It keeps reversing to the 1st of July 2004 at 1 am. On FC10 it did not create too much trouble as setting up the time and date would usually work. But on FC12 when I start my laptop it crashes and I cannot log on. It starts bash and I get this message:'dev/mapper/volgroup 00-logvol100 : superblock last mount time (wed March 3 14:03: 2010, now Thu July 1 01:03:39 2004) is in the futureenter root password or press ctrl dWhen I become root I get these codes :MK Temp : failed to create file via template'/tmp/elektra env.XXXXXXXXX' : read-only file system

Networking :: Reversing Default Gateway Failover
Nov 11, 2010I have a dual-homed Debian server running squid, but not acting as a router. Simplied network diagram is below - there are other local hops between the gateways and the Internet.
Code:
(eth0 @ 192.168.44.2) <--> (Gateway1 @ 192.168.44.1) <--> Internet
(eth1 @ 192.168.55.2) <--> (Gateway2 @ 192.168.55.1) <--> Internet
Using Gateway1 gives a very fast, but not always reliable route to the Internet. Using Gateway2 gives a slower, but more reliable route to the Internet. The server uses Gateway1 as the default gateway.
I have written a script that pings three hosts on the Internet, and if all three are down, switches the default gateway to Gateway2. This part seems to be easy, but I'd like know if there is a way of routing a ICMP/ping out eth0 to a host, with all other traffic to the host going out eth1, so I can determine if the Internet is reachable via Gateway1 again.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Control VLC Via Command Line?
Jan 3, 2010Everything is plain and simple. I want to know what's the least painful way to control vlc from local command line while having GUI as well?
I would like to e.g. use something like "vlc --pause" in one of my bash scripts to pause music if something hapens. So rc interface is useless, is it not?
not making a thorough search on this as the irrelevance of results is beneath me... Well actually I have made it but it was a while ago and to no avail since the new vlc shipped with karmic got rid of the old http interface which allowed to do this just by using wget on an url....

May 12, 2011I've just started using gdb at my new job, and I'm having a small issue debugging C++ with it. After I execute "continue" or "run" through gdb, I'm not able to return control to gdb. Based on the documentation I read, I should be able to use Control-C to interrupt the program, and have control return to gdb.
This does not work on my setup. Not sure if it's related, but I'm debugging on a remote machine. I tried through PuTTY and xterm using Exceed XServer. In both cases, gdb does not respond to Control-C. This is quite annoying because I have to restart my program every time I want to set a breakpoint.
Ubuntu Networking :: Command Line Control Of Network Settings
Mar 10, 2010I frequently ssh into machines to do work. In some cases, the machine is headless so there is no option to log in.Under Debian and on older versions of Ubuntu I would pull out the avahi and network-manager packages and manually configure the interfaces file to my liking and be done with it.However, I would now like to learn how to work within avahi/network manager. So, is there a doc somewhere explaining how to work with modern Ubuntu networking at the command-line level? Ie: Setting up a wireless connection, setting static/dynamic IPs, etc?

Security :: Uncovering Covert Command-and-Control Channels?
Nov 5, 2010Quote:As the line between securely hosted and controlled enterprise applications and cloud-based applications continues to blur, there's more "legitimate" traffic between corporate networks and the Internet than ever before. This opens up new vectors for attack by hackers nd cybercriminals as more traffic types are allowed through corporate firewalls. The result is an increase in diversity of covert command and control channels, which hide inside legitimate traffic in order to bypass perimeter security. These C&C channels, used by malware ranging from simple spambots to more sophisticated rootkits, vary in the maliciousness of their intent from casual hacking all the way to advanced persistent threats (APT) and industrial espionage.

Security :: Attackers Moving To Social Networks For Command And Control
Jul 20, 2010Bot herders and the crimeware gangs behind banker Trojans have had a lot of success in the last few years with using bulletproof hosting providers as their main base of operations. But more and more, they're finding that social networks such as Twitter and Facebook are offering even more fertile and convenient grounds for controlling their malicious creations.New research from RSA shows that the gangs behind some of the targeted banker Trojans that are such a huge problem in some countries, especially Brazil and other South American nations, are moving quietly and quickly to using social networks as the command-and-control mechanisms for their malware. The company's anti-fraud researchers recently stumbled upon one such attack in progress and watched as it unfolded.

- No sound
- Special buttons like brightness, sound, etc show up on Ubuntu when pushed but nothing actually happens. Same with the Eject button. Shows a status bubble in the top right that it's ejecting, but doesn't do anything.
- The touchpad, as it has no buttons on the Mac, is nearly not useable, but they say it works out of the box...
Also, side question... can you change control to be cmd? Like, swap them to match the Mac's layout?
