Ubuntu :: Can't Type In Any Text Fields?
May 25, 2010
First, I'm sorry if some one has already posted this but I can't find it. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my laptop and I have a dual boot between that and Vista. I cannot use Ubuntu for more than an hour or two before it won't let me type in text fields. When this happens, the menues (Applications, System, ect.) stop working also.
I can continue to browse the internet and play music when this happens. The problem can be recreated consistently by using OpenOffice Word Processor. I can not type more than a sentence in OpenOffice before this problem occurs. The only way to fix it is to hold the power button to shutdown.

I want to display the contents of a particular log file (simple text file, I mean in Linux). But there is a problem: The contents need to be organized in a fixed format. Have a look at this log file:
sampleLog.txt
Code:
User Name: XYZ
Reported Problems Description: Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah!
[code]....
So, while displaying the contents of above file on a web page, I want to format the field names found in the log file: User Name:, Reported Problems Description:, and Remarks:. These fields may contain a variable length of text and no specific line number is assumed for them to appear on.
The desired output should look like this:
User Name: XYZ
Reported Problems Description: Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah!
[code]....
Well, what I am trying to do may sound wierd to some of you. The filed "Reported Problems Description:" can possible contain text which embeds colon (.

Using wine, re-installed EVE (hadn't played for awhile), things went fine, ran eve, things were fine... then like an idiot in the middle of the opening graphic sequence I tried to exit out... big mistake... system hung up and I had to do a hard restart. Upon restart the following has happened:
1. I currently cannot type into SOME text fields. I can type into Firefox, and Open office, but not into KDE wallet, Kubuntu search fields, or the terminal (big problem). If i go out of KDE and straight command line I can run terminal commands. I can also cut and paste into all text fields including the ones I cannot type into.
2. I've lost all X, Minimize, and Maximize from ALL windows, and cannot move windows. I can resize some windows, like firefox however. Windows are not layering properly, if any window is open the "start" button menu will be blocked out, and the opened windows will not layer behind it (makes me have to resize windows to shut down).
3. Tried to go back to a prior good configuration to no avail. The 3 most recent configs have the same errors now, and the configs prior to that are refusing to initialize KDE... screen will flicker and then go strait to command lines.
notes: I have tried changing graphics drivers to no avail, and have redone the keyboard selection to no avail. Also uninstalled wine, but that didn't do anything. basically, I can work within the errors and make stuff run, but it's a huge PITA. running Kubuntu 10.10*was running wine 1.3.5

It's a pretty weird issue I'm having, when I need to provide access for a command in terminal IE: something using sudo, it just doesn't accept text. I thought it might be my keyboard at first (g15) but I tried copying and pasting the password into there and it just wouldn't do anything except for remain blank

I put a text file on my desktop and added a couple lines of text with gedit. File type shows text/plain. Double-click opens the file in gedit which is what I want. I'm using the file to temporarily hold some snips of code that I copy from file to file, but when I copy some html into the file and save it, now file properties show it's text/html and a double-click opens the file in firefox, which isn't what I want. Is there some way to keep the file type from changing itself?

I somehow managed to screw up my lucid lynx system so that all files show up under Nautilus properties as Type Plain Text. When I double click a file, any file, the system tries to open it as plain text with gedit. Everything worked correctly until yesterday when I tried to install a new version of PyQt4. If I reboot with an old (karmic) version of Ubuntu and bring up Nautilus Properties on the same file (my data partition can be opened in other OS's) the files show up with the correct file type (PDF, ODT, etc) So the problem is not in the file itself, but rather in the lucid OS, which is mis-interpreting the file type. As I said I somehow messed it up when installing the new version of PyQt4.

I have just done a fresh install of OpenSuse 11.3 I am using KDE4.When I move my mouse and click on a text field, I start typing and the first few keypresses are ignored. Or if I stop typing and pause for a bit without moving the mouse or doing anything, then when I press the next key it is ignored again.If I go to System settings -> accessibility, neither slow keys, bounce keys or sticky keys are ticked.The effect of this is that if I momentarily pause for thought in the middle of writing then sometimes half a word can go missing. Unfortunately this makes the desktop extremely difficult to use as I am always having to check that all my key presses have been accepted.

In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive

I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m
error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type
sh: gnuplot: not found
Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);

echo ${a%-*}
to remove the last field (after -) but how do i remove the last two in one fell swoop?

I'm writing a couple of programs in C and need to do something to formatting the output. I'm after producing something like a old mainframe screen or early micro where you could PRINT (x,y) to put something on the terminal where you want it. Learning GTK or such is not an option due to time constraints, and some fields need updating frequently during processing, so letting the terminal scroll is going to drive the operator up the wall pretty quickly.

I'm writing a script that picks out the time offset in a string, but am trying to figure out a way to print a field based on a match (likely needs to be regex).
Here are some sample fields:
09.900. Either add -12:-1: 0 to existing offset, or restart the slicer with no offset or with offset=00
09.900. Either add -12:-1:30 to existing offset, or restart the slicer with no offset or with offset=00
09.900. Either add -10: 0:-47 to existing offset, or restart the slicer with no offset or with offset=00
What I need would be "-12:-1: 0" from the first line, for example. I was just using "awk '{print $4}'" originally but because of the damn space in the 1st and 3rd lines by the 0, that doesn't work for me. How to grab those fields correctly for all cases?

I'm looking for a way to dynamically modify a fied in the SQL file.
Example,
INSERT INTO `TABLE` VALUES(1AADFDF,DFF33D,10023,SOMEDATA, SOMEDATA);
INSERT INTO `TABLE` VALUES(1AADFDF,DFF33D,10098,SOMEDATA, SOMEDATA);
[code]....
The third field in this SQL file is what needs to change to n+1
"10023" needs to change to "1"
"10098" needs to change to "2"
"10123" needs to change to "3"
"10983" needs to change to "4"
etc...
I tried with awk and sed, but since both require the usage of ' (single quote), my variable fails to get updated. I know i can use cut and recreate the sql statememnt, but i believe there should be easier way using sed or awk. Would anyone know of any creative way to get this to work in one-liner? This needs to be a part of the script preferable without making call to external file.

I have a file with 200 000 lines and I want to append the fields of each line based on matching first field. The resulting file should have 70 000 columns but has "only" 18 000. The command I'm using is working perfectly with a smaller file, wich lead to 14 000 columns. Could there be a limit in number of fields that awk can handle ? Here's my awk command :
Code:
awk -F, 'END { for (k in _) print _[k] } { _[$1] = $1 in _ ? _[$1] FS $4 : $1","$4 } ' file > out
Also, this command writes ^M (windows line break) after each columns. Removing them is easy but where do they come from ? Working on Ubuntu 10.10

I have an array called @logons. How can I step thru the array and split the fields? This is what I have so far, but doesnt work. I got the feeling I the split statement syntax is incorrect.
Code:
print @logons;
foreach my $logons(@logons){
($userid, $ip) = split(',',$logons);
[code]....
Update: Appears the data in @logons has a column header from the mysql query which I used to populate it with. So that code which I was testing does indeed work.

I have a couple of MP3s that have duplicate fields in their ID3 tags. Let me show you what I mean: This is causing problems with some media players. Is there a tool that can automatically fix these MP3s in batch? I'd prefer a free Windows or Linux program. I'm not afraid to work on the command line if necessary.

I want to select the fields which the 'top' command shows from the command-line. I can do that in the interactive mode when I press 'F', but I would love to do it via parameters (or with a configuration file, if it doesn't work otherwise).The fields I'd want to leave out are triggered by these letters: AHIOQTWMBackground:I installed the "compa" Gnome applet and want to always see what program currently uses up most ressources. For example, Pidgin sometimes starts using up 100% of 1 CPU and I have to kill it and start it again. I can already filter 1 or 2 programs from the 'top' command using the 'head' and 'tail' commands, but there are too many fields for my purposes by default. I could make a C program that filters those fields I need, but I think there must be a simpler solution.

I am trying to remove the space between the 2nd and 3rd fields but just cannot work out how to do it. I've considered sed, cut, awk...I know with sed you can replace all instances within a file but can you also specify to remove, say, the 2nd instance of a space in each line (this would be perfect for me)?
