Ubuntu :: Ctrl-Alt-F Command Prompts Have Messed Up Output?

Nov 2, 2010

Not sure exactly how to explain it. My command prompt screens are appearing messed up.the resolution appears to have squeezed the command prompt vertically to just a few pixes at the top of the screen. The command prompt appears to also repeat several times horizontally. This is also the case with boot-up.I'm still in the experimental phases of learning how linux works, messing with GDM, and installing/installing some boot screen tweaks here and there to see what would happen.I can't quite remember exactly WHAT I did.

Ubuntu :: Fill In Command Line Prompts From Script?

Jun 9, 2010

I have set up an ssh server for myself and a friend to work on a project. It is configured to use password authentication, but I am somewhat uncomfortable giving him my password to get the files. I was wondering if there was any way to have a script that logs him on, filling in the password at the prompt. So that when "ssh xxxx@xxxxx" is run, the script fills in the prompt for the password rather than him filling it in.Of course he still could find the file within the script before it is run, but knowing his somewhat ADD nature it seems unlikely.

Ubuntu :: Map Ctrl+W In Hebrew Layout(which Is Actually A Ctrl+') To Be A Ctrl+w?

Jan 5, 2010

I have 3 layouts: USA, Russian and Hebrew. In Hebrew the W key is mapped to apostrophe, so Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout doesn't close tabs in Firefox. There is no workaround for it as I see by now, so I am trying to get it work this way:I want to map Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout(which is actually a Ctrl+') to be a Ctrl+w. Here is what I got from xmodmap:Code:$ xmodmap -pke | grep 25keycode 25 = w W Cyrillic_tse Cyrillic_TSE apostrophe WAs you can see, there are pairs for each layout, each pair tells what happens without and with the Shift key pressed.

Fedora :: Enable Ctrl Alt Backspace Command Line?

Since I wasn't able to figure out how to enable ctrl alt backspace in kde I thought I would explain how to do it from the command line. Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root. Then add this to the file.

Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

General :: Access Command-line Tty1 With Ctrl-Alt-F1?

Jun 14, 2011

I have Red Hat 5.4, and I'm trying to log in using tty1 by pressing Ctrl-Shift-F1. I get to the text login screen, my banner displays, but when I try to log in as root, the banner just displays again and it asks me to log in.

It does not say that my password is incorrect, just asks me log in as if the previous exchange never happened. I have added tty1 to /etc/securetty, and all the other tty's and vc/1, vc/2, etc...in an attempt to get something to work. I recently started using PAM for password authentication, and the pam_securetty.so line is set correctly in /etc/pam.d/login. Any idea why I can't log in? Did I miss something I have to add?

Ubuntu :: Freezes Mouse After Changing A Tab (with Ctrl+tab, Alt+#) Or Closing It (ctrl+w)?

Nov 11, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything

Ubuntu :: Splash Screen Messed Up - Get Random Command Lines Mixed In With The Usual Splash

Jan 26, 2011

Since updating my graphics driver on ubuntu 10.10, My splash screen has been inconsistant and messed up. Sometimes ill get random command lines mixed in with the usual splash, sometimes the splash wont show and it will just be black till the desktop appears, sometimes it flashes on and off. I originally tried fixing the resolution and just made the problem worse. Then I tried installing a new splash via gnome-look.org, but it just made my shut-down splash blank and didnt effect my splash at startup. I just want the original splash that ubuntu is supposed to have.

OpenSUSE :: Ctrl+z And Ctrl+c Do Not Work Without A Third Keystroke

Feb 3, 2010

I just spent a few days ripping out all the broken/buggy apps that are in the opensuse 11.2 official repos so I can finally get working software(openoffice, thunderbird, wine, eclipse, rubygems, rails, and a few others required getting the "official" versions from their respective websites to avoid strange behavior and outright broken functionality).

All of which makes updating more annoying and time-consuming. Why are opensuse packages so different anyway? Anyway, the last thing that I have noticed to fix is Konsole. For some really bizarre reason ctrl+z and ctrl+c do not work without a third keystroke: enter.Maybe this is something new with the KDE team, since they seem bent on making simple things that already work more complex, but given my experience with crappy packages in the suse repos, I am thinking this is the problem. I have looked over all the config settings that I can find and nothing fixes this affront to productivity.

Ubuntu Servers :: Writing Init Script - Signals To Kill The Process (Ctrl-C) From A Bash Script And Exit Dtach (Ctrl-`)

Ubuntu :: Echo Command To Output First Argument

Nov 5, 2010

In a script, when I enter "echo $1" the first argument is outputted. When I enter:
a=1
echo "$$a"

The output is just "$1", not the first argument. If I enter:
a=1
b=$$a
echo $b

The output is still "$1" and not the first argument. How can I get echo to output the first argument without use "$1" directly?

Ubuntu :: Emacs -- Run Shell Command W/o Output?

Jul 12, 2011

I write LaTeX in Emacs and then run a shell script to process the LaTeX code. I used to run a subshell buffer with M-x shell and then execute the script from within there, but this results in a lot of switching between buffers, which seems unnecessary. Then, I found out about executing shell commands with M-! cmd RET, as described here:[URL]The problem with this is that the output from the script splits my screen. It's a nuisance, and I would like to run the script without any output. I've tried appending > /dev/null to the command, but it doesn't work.For example, when from within Emacs I enter M-! followed by

Code:
sh make.sh > /dev/null
it splits my screen so that one portion displays output from the make.sh script. I want it to run silently, and leave my Emacs buffers alone
