Ubuntu :: Cannot Type A Capital "m"?

Dec 4, 2010

Sick of avoiding capital "m" in my computer usage I decided to buy a new keyboard at last;big surprise (ok,was wondering why "m" works,"shift" works,but not "shift + m" earlier,but needed a new keyboard anyway):problem persist with the new keyboard.Tried different keyboard layouts,fonts,nothing.,still can not type "M"....had to copy&paste this wonderful big one This is on maverick32;booting lucid64 all is fine.......must be gnome-related,the shell is fine also.Where do I start searching for my "blacklisted" "shift + m" ?

General :: Ubuntu Can't Write Capital Z

Aug 6, 2011

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and from the moment I installed it, I couldn't type capital z, all other shift+letter are working fine, but when it comes to z, it pops up a message with the title Metacity saying:There was an error running System Monitor:Failed to execute child process System(No such file or directory)

How can I fix it?(And yes, I can use Caps-lock and z, but I wonder what is causing the problem)

Ubuntu :: All KDE/qt Apps Are In Majuscules (Capital Letters)

Dec 17, 2010

For some unknown reason all or most of my qt based application's font is in Caps. They are very hard to read.

I will attach a image of Firefox and Rekonq for contrast. As you can see from the picture, Rekonq is displaying everything in majuscule, while Firefox is fine.

I am running Kubuntu 10.10 64-bit

Ubuntu :: Shift+t Doesn't Give A Capital T

Jan 23, 2011

I wasn't sure what to put this in since I don't know what the source of the problem could be. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (gonna upgrade soon) and as of yesterday I haven't been able to get a capital t from pressing shift+t keys. For some reason, all other keys work fine. Yesterday, the keys were triggering as maximize window/unmaximize window. I checked the keyboard shortcuts in Gnome and shift+t wasn't set to anything. I then assigned it to something else and removed it, and now the maximize/unmaximize problem is gone, but nothing happens when I press shift+t while typing. I can still get a capital T like I just did with caps lock on.

Ubuntu :: Changing File System Type To Another Filesystem Type - Does It Effect On Data?

Feb 4, 2011

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

Ubuntu :: Error: Can't Perform Indexing Operations For <unknown Type> Type

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:

Ubuntu :: Can't Type Anything Anywhere / What To Do?

Aug 14, 2010

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?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Type On The Terminal?

Mar 31, 2011

I 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.

Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Cannot Type Since Last Upgrade

Sep 1, 2011

Last 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..?

Ubuntu :: 9.10 With 2.6.32 Kernel / Cannot Type In Occasions?

Jan 22, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Can't Switch Session Type

May 12, 2010

So, 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?

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.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Type After Login And 1 Word Or So

May 31, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Find By Type From Terminal?

Jun 27, 2010

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.
