Ubuntu :: Can't Get Super Key Assigned To Left Win?
May 4, 2010
I've been working on this for a couple days, but I cannot seem to find a solution either on my own or through trusty Google. For whatever reason, I cannot get the Super key assigned to the Left Win as I have had it in the past. There does not seem to be an option to do that in the Keyboard layout thingy.
how to use the <Super>ButtonX (<Super>Button1 for example for the enabled Compiz Screenshot plugin)? I also notice there is configurable buttons 1 throught 20 under the various options. At first I thought the ButtonX was a mouse button. Maybe it is with some anticipation of there being eventually being a possible 20 buttons on the mouse. I know the Super key is the Key with the Windows logo on it. But I don't know what to do to get the needed Super Key / Button combination. After having enabled Compiz's Screenshot plugin by its default, I don't get an image after hitting any of the Super key and mouse button combinations. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04.
I'm not sure if I should post this question in "hardware & laptops", or "Desktop Environments", because this is a hardware problem on a desktop computer.
Description of Problem:There is another thread that discussed this same problem that I'm having: However that thread is so old that the suggestions in it no longer work in Ubuntu 10.04 and for whatever reason I can not make a reply to that thread.As in the above thread, I've tried other input devices and rebooting the computer and using other USB ports, and my mouse still intermittently double left clicks randomly at times when I've only clicked the left mouse button once and at times and places when it should only produce a single click such as when selecting a drop down menu.
Has any one else had this problem, and does any one have any idea how to fix it or to trouble shoot this a bit more? Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to further clarify or troubleshoot this issue.
I would like to use two monitors with my desktop, so connected them the other day and it worked straight away, which is good but... The monitor configuration app always want the primary monitor to be on the left hand side, thus it always extend my desktop right. Can I do anything to extend my desktop to the left instead of to the right so I can have background application on the screen to the left?
The first is about implementing function calls. The way I currently have it is that functions are called with a C++ std::vector of nodes as the parameters. How would I turn a comma-seperated list of expressions into a C++ vector in the grammar?Second, how do you implement left-associative operators in a parser that does not allow left recursion?
And third, what would be the best internal representation of integers? A C++ int seems simplest, but limited. Using GMP seems more versatile, but I'm afraid it might seriously slow down the interpreter compared to C++ ints.
When I swap my left alt with my left win key using the gnome keyboard layout options, the swap only works intermittently. I have an aluminum Apple keyboard with no numpad. No matter what layout options I choose, I can't seem to get it working.I also have the same setup on my laptop and work desktop and it works without issue. I've ensured my .Xmodmap doesn't exist.When I say "works intermittently" I mean when I'm trying to use "alt+b, alt+f" navigation in emacs or bash, it doesn't work but if I click around a bit then try again, it works. Also, I use alt+arrows to switch workspaces and that always works
is it possible to have the tmp or temp folders assigned elsewhere. I am actually looking to stick them in the shm folder since there is enough memory to throw around the place ..
I'm trying to assign like 80 IPv6 addresses on eth0 for virtual webhosting, but after 55 addresses I get the following error:# ip addr add 2a01:9f8:a171:1651::4b:a8af dev eth0 RTNETLINK answers: File exists.What's the problem? I don't understand that error message at all. Is the number of IPv6 addresses per device somehow limited?Ubuntu 10.4.1 server, 64 bit.
I've been having a problem getting a couple of services started at boot on my home server. I want to have my Openvpn daemon and a holdingnuts poker server start at boot. Neither of these start properly if placed at level S99 in the rc2 folder. Looking through the logs, it seems that the network is not up and running at this time. To confirm this, I placed the following in my rc.local file that runs at level S99.
My ifconfig file shows the lo, eth0 and my bridged br0 interfaces. However, the br0 interface does not show an IP, netmask or anything else, indicating that it hasn't been brought up, yet. So this begs the question, if you have a static ip set (with a bridged connection for the VPN server), when does that actually get up and running? I would have thought that it should be up by the time that the last startup scripts are running. How can I ensure that these things run at startup, but not until the network is fully up and running?
On windows I installed the iscsi initiator which tells me my pc id. Then I take that id and put it in my storage which automatically gives me my extra disk. How can I find out the id assigned to my ubuntu pc?
I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.10 on a 64 bit laptop (also have GNOME installed just for convenience), and have a website up using apache2. I am wondering if it is possible to configure both eth0 and wlan0 to the same local static IP address? I would like to walk around my house and do stuff when I want and still have the website accessible, but also be able to jack my laptop back into the router when I am away, just for peace of mind.
Is this possible? If it is, do I need to do some configuring in apache2 to tell it to use another device? Is this even a smart way to get what I want done?
I have a server hosted with Hetzner in Germany and have had it there for over a year now without any glitches. Last week very abruptly they deactivated the server giving me a very vague reason of "I was using another IP that was not assigned to me". After several calls I had the server reactivated but am still puzzled by this and Hetzner Germany has been unable to provide me with any proof, logs, traces or anything for that matter to validate their claims.
My primary (physical) server has one IP allocated (static) and IPv6 is turned off. On top of this server I run 3 VMware servers, 1 Ubuntu, 1 Debian, 1 Windows and all 3 of these VM's have static IP's configured.
I've done traceroutes, netstats and looked through every single config file with a fine toothcomb without finding anything and the problem has not reoccured either.
What I would like to know is if there is some way that someone could craft an attack of some sort that could cause a server to do this, to latch onto another IP not assigned to its NIC?
I am trying to create a file, that has a variable assigned to it, in another directory. For some reason when I run the script it creates the file only in my pwd and I cannot for the life of me figure out why.My pwd at the moment is Desktop but it does not matter as I have tried from elsewhere. I have tried the touch command in the following ways (some will be obviously incorrect but I was desperate)and many more as well as the original format listed.
I just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04. I installed Webmin 1.470 but when I tried to run it from Firefox 3.09 I got the following message.
localhost:10000 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed. (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer).
I have been issued 16 IP's my my ISP. Obviously my subnet is 240. is there a way I can take one or any of those IP's and somehow make them into their own network on my end? Really what I am wanting to do is take my 2 DNS servers that are really on the same network far as my assigned subnet and IP's, but take at least one of those IP's and sub-network? it out to the other DNS so it appears to be on another net work. like just simply assign it 192.168.219 255.255.255.255 or something like that.
I'm having some really odd problems with Nautilus. The main one is that most of the time, files of various types are not assigned to be opened with the proper app, and I cannot assign an app. I described this problem in another thread: If I right click a .pdf for example, and select "Open With," the first two suggestions (Leafpad and gedit) are wrong. If I choose instead "Open with another program," I get a dialog with two tabs. One is "Recommended Applications" and is blank. The other is "All Applications." If I click "All Applications," instead of getting a list of apps or having the opportunity to choose one from /usr/bin, the entire dialog disappears abruptly. I'd say that's a "crash."
I just bought a new mouse - just a cheapie usb wheel mouse but it has an extra 'thumb' button which I thought I might as well set up to do something useful. I used 'xev' to determine the numbers that the OS had assigned to the buttons, and I found it wasn't quite what I was expecting:
left = 1 wheel-as-button = 2 right = 3 wheel-up = 4 wheel-down = 5 thumb = 8
I thought the right button would be '2' and the 'wheel-as-button' would be 3 - that's just how I've always seen them referred to in explanations, and I thought it was standardised. Not a big deal - the context menus still pop up when I click the right button so it all works ok. (And I just discovered the wheel-as-button does a 'paste' operation when it's clicked. Weird - I've never noticed that before...) But the thing that I find particularly odd: why is the thumb button assigned as '8'. What happened to '6' and '7'? Does the operating system assign these numbers, or are they built into the hardware in the mouse itself? Again, no big deal, I know I can remap the buttons if I need to, but I was just curious as to how this all works and google didn't help.
Add some pictures inside your Pictures home folder (~/Pictures). Summon Gnome-DO by hitting [Super]and[Space] Type "slideshow", hit [TAB] and select the 'Pictures' folder or another user-defined folder where pictures are stored and finally hit [ENTER] I've Googled the topic (super key) but all I've found is "what," not "where."
When I stop/start vm(not restart), dhclient becomes up and ip is assigned by dhcp.

11.2 was working perfectly which the windows key opened up the menu; it came like this out of the box. now i've upgraded to 11.3, oSUSE has defaulted back to alt+f1 for menu. how can i change it back to the windows key?
'Keyboard Shortcuts' in yast wants me to press a second key, so i cant define it there..
I have a Sierra Wireless USB 305 Modem that I want to use as a GSM modem (openSUSE 11.3 x64) I plugged it in and it is detected as a USB device, but no TTY is assigned to it. lsusb output is below:

I really need to know this for a linux server, but since it also applies to client OSes, I figured the question should be posed here instead of server fault.
I have 3 WD External USB hard dives. 2 are the same and are rotated for backup purposes and my system assigns them both to /dev/sdb (one is only plugged in at a time), this is fine.The 3rd drive is used for a different purpose and may or may not be plugged in at the same time as one of the others.How can I make the 3rd drive be allocated to /dev/sdc all of the time whether one of the other drives is plugged in or not?
when i assign ip manually to a machine it gets ping by server and it also itself pings server but when i chose to use client machine as dhcp , so that it can directly get assigned ip from server, it does not get ip, instead random ip is provided which is out of range specified at server side in /etc/dhcpd.conf file.
