So last night after I got home from the bar I got on my laptop with ubuntu 10.04.
I think I held down the shift key for a while and a message popped up like 'sticky keys' for winbloze.
I hit cancel on the box, but then couldn't type anything after. Not in Gedit, not in firefox, not in openoffice.
I tried holding shift to bring the box back, and no luck.
What to do?
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);
I am copying the file form one directory to another directory using shellscript.
Here i want to get the Mimetype/Content-type of the file.
How to i can get the MimeType.
I have a server hacked when i try to log in i type root but won't let me type a passwdthere are no services up, can't see page mail nothing

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently installed ubuntu on my pc in parallel with windows 7 ( I have been running wubi so far ). After the installation was completed I installed chrome and Mathematica ( by using the terminal ). I then restarted the computer. When I restarted ubuntu again I realized that I couldn't type on the Terminal any longer.I can type on anything else, documents, browsers, Mathematica ecc, but, as soo as I try to type over the terminal the mouse pointer disappears and nothing happens. However I can copy paste on the terminal but it is of no use since I cannot use the enter key.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast time I let my Ubuntu 11.04 to upgrade all its packages, I think a new kernel was also downloaded. Since then keyboard stopped working so that I can press Enter button on the login screen, but after I get the desktop ready I cannot type. The kernel version is 2.6.38 but if I boot with 2.6.35 nothing changes. I can start Ubuntu in recovery mode, keyboard is working there, but I don't know what to do there. When I looked around the settings on a certain menu point (Input settings or kind of..) I got an error message that IBus daemon is not started. I was asked if I'd like to start it, but after starting nothing got better. How could I get my keyboard working again..?

I am using eclipse, and whenever a pop-up appears (like auto complete, error detail, suggested fix - usually triggered by mouse-over) over the text field, the caret no longer types. I imagine the text field lost focus when the pop up appears but never got it back.
I can re-enable typing by either alt-tab, or switch workspace then back. But it is REALLY annoying since I need to do this every 30 seconds. The same problem happens to terminal, tex editor, and many other text fields.
I am using an ACER Aspire ONE (N270 atom, 2GB, Intel GMA945). I noticed after upgrading to 2.6.32 kernel but now I have checked with older kernels, they all have the same problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, I thought I'd try Gnome as the default session. Using System...Administration...Login Screen, I selected Gnome as the default session.
When I rebooted, I see an ititial login screen, but when I click on anything, all I get is a black screen and a mouse pointer.
So now I am trying to switch back to the default. So I reboot, hit esc and drop into a root shell, type startx, and I get back to the default environment.
Now, however, When I try to use System...Administration...Login Screen, unlock does not work. I also tried by using su to change from root to my regular ID, but still, when I click on unlock in the login screen settings dialog, nothing happens.
How can I correct this? Is there a text file I can edit as root that will alow me to change things back to default?
When I go to type in a response to a forum post (in the box you are reading this in if you reply) I lose keyboard input. Nothing happens when I type. If I go up to the upper right hand corner of the message box and Switch Editor Mode then I get the keyboard back.

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 loose partial keyboard use after login. At first, I login, and can type about 1 word or so, then typing stops. I can use Ctl + Alt + Del to shutdown, restart or whatever. My volume and play stop, pause keys work when listening to music, but I have no pull downs. I can't use the Applications, Places, or System pull downs at all after the typing stops. However, I can still double-click things on the desktop, and I can also launch some launchers on the top system bar. I can browse the internet but no typing.
I once logged in, and did no typing for a couple hours. I just let it sit. Everything seemed normal until I started typing. Then it stopped typing, and no more pulldown menus. Another interesting fact is, I leave my computer on most of the time. I went away for 4 days and shut down my computer while I was gone. It was working fine when I shut it down, but then 4 days later when I boot back up, this crap starts. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Precision 670. The keyboard is wireless, but I have recently changed the batteries.
I'd like to find all files of a specific type (as determined by the terminal "file" command) from the command line ... and haven't been able to figure out a way to do so. For instance, I'd like to be able to find all JPEG files in my filesystem, even if their names don't end in .jp*. It would be helpful to be able to combine this with other tests in find, so that I could type something like "sudo find / -atime 0 -size +1M -type adobeflash" or something like that.
I've looked for ways to hook find up to file and tinkered around with a few ideas involving pipes, but nothing seems to get what I want.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was using Hardy Ubuntu and have recently moved to Lucid and in both distributions I have noticed that alt+f2 (launcher) is very slow to show up when I have a lot of programs open.
Also, when I start typing in the box (alt+f2 launcher box), the typing is very slow (Maybe because it is trying to auto-complete?). I don't really understand why.
My terminal auto-completion is very fast. I have a very beefy machine with lots of RAM.
Has someone else also faced this problem? What is the solution?
Is it possible to replace the default gnome alt+f2 launcher with a different one that perhaps doesn't auto-complete?
EDIT: I'd like to add that launching applications from the gnome-terminal is extremely fast on my machine (less than 1 second). With alt+f2, they take 3-4 seconds and sometimes even 5+ seconds.
