Is there any way to map a shell script to run when you press a certain set of keys? For instance, I may want to execute the following by pressing CTRL+ALT+R (if that key combination is not already taken)
Code:
compiz --replace --loose-binding ccp
Or perhaps I want to open the System Monitor by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL (a la Windows)
I am wondering if there is a way to manually trigger a file system check during boot by pressing/holding a key. Maybe there is already a keyboard shortcut built in to do this?I know that using tune2fs you can modify the number of boots (mounts) between file system checks, or even use "shutdown -rF" to reboot the system and force a file system checkAlso, I do not want to force the user to choose to run/skip the file system check during boot. For example, prompting the user with, "Do you want to run a file system check [y/n]?" each boot (or even each time the system thinks it should run a file system check),s not desirable

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a G15v1. After going through hoops and loops to get it working only to discover that you only needed to install g15daemon through the Ubuntu Software Center, I found myself with one big problem. I migrated from windows just now, and there, I had my macro keys(the extra ones) bound to CTRL+W, CTRL+T and to a simulated mouse-wheel scroll so I could navigate the web more easily. How would I go about doing that? I figured, if I used the System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts thingy and bound my key, in my case XF86Launch5, to a command similar to "simulate keypress CTRL+W"(I know it's totally wrong, just to give you an idea), I might be able to get it working again. Only problem is, I can't find anything like that. Any of you has any clue about it? I googled but I only find C++/Java/coding related results, which are not exactly what I need to do.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLast week I installed minimal Ubuntu Karmic with XBMC live on my HTPC. I'm connecting to my fileserver thru a wireless interface and although that works like a charm most of the time, every once in a while the interface doesn't come up during boot and the PC 'hangs'.
I then press ctrl+alt+del and the pc reboots and the Grub2 boot menu appears, I suppose because the previous boot didn't go well. However, the boot menu doesn't have a timeout, I have to press <enter> to continue booting. My wireless USB-keyboard isn't working at that stage yet, so I'm unable to continue.
This is my /etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT="10"
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount,setvolume loglevel=0"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
How can I get it such that Grub always times out, even after a failed boot?
Firefox can't detect any keypresses from the programs I make. I use Macromedia Flash 8. Make a text box and give it the instance name"txt_test" add this actionscript code.
Code:
stop();
KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
_root.txt_test.text = "OOOOO";
}

I want to either fix my firefox or make my program so that it can take input. Is it because I need to build my program with flash CS3 or 4?
I'm witting a piece of code that needs to read key presses. However I cannot use them as stream, but rather need discrete reads. The code is to simulate an io board interface. So When I press say "d" I need to read it in instantly, not wait for return. I've tried sdl, but no luck (I'm reading in a thread and it causes some problems) I'm using linux so can't use conio.h functions, I've tired gatch from cureses but this still waits for return.So in C/c++ is there a way I can read instant key presses.

VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.2 for X
Switching between two instances of VNC viewer in full-screen mode takes three key presses and two mouse clicks. How can the viewer be configured to pass a special key combination to the host operating system instead of the remote OS, so it's possible to switch between full-screen viewers in one key press?
e.g. With the default configuration, if I put the viewers in adjascent workspaces, then the sequence to switch is: F8 MouseClick Ctrl+Alt+Left F8 MouseClick If the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Left was passed to the host then it would be possible to switch workspaces (and therefore viewers) in one key press. When working on multiple remote machines, both physical and virtual, it's often necessary to switch between them frequently. I must switch over 100 times some days. Simplifying the key sequence would be both quicker and more intuitive.
I've been given one of these ubiquitous usb-sleep buttons which is basically a supersimple usb-keyboard. It's a big button that sends a SLEEP keypress to the computer when you slam it. But that is pretty boring. I'd love to remap it to do something more fun but I can't figure out how to bind to only the sleep press from the button and not from my ordinary keyboard.
The button identifies as
Bus 001 Device 035: ID 1130:600d Tenx Technology, Inc.
I'd like to know if there's either
a way of mapping a key from a specific keyboard to an action OR a way of remapping the sleep key from a specific keyboard to a new key-code or something like that.
Here's a weird one. Once in a while I inadvertantly hit the key combination RIGHT-ARROW + INSERT on my keyboard while editing in Geany. This stops my mouse buttons from working and I have to kill xorg. Anyone heard of this before or how to fix it? I know I know, I should stop hitting those keys by accident, but it seems to happen at least once a day! This is on Fedora 12.

I successfully installed and validate ns-allinone-2.34 network simulator on ubuntu-9.10. I then tried to run simple tcl code and ended up on the following error. I couldn't move ahead from there. What should I do to make 'nam(version 1.14)' work on my ubuntu 9.10?
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 7)
invoked from within
"finish"
Here is the code I tried to run (for reference):
#Create a simulator object
set ns [new Simulator]
#Define different colors for data flows (for NAM)
$ns color 1 Blue
$ns color 2 Red
#Open the NAM trace file
set nf [open out.nam w]
$ns namtrace-all $nf
#Define a 'finish' procedure
proc finish {} {
global ns nf
$ns flush-trace
#Close the NAM trace file
close $nf
#Execute NAM on the trace file
exec nam out.nam &
exit 0
} .....
By the way I googled and got some suggestions like: adding 'nam' directory to environment. I did this as follow but it didn't work. I added:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/elias/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14
to /etc/profile (>sudo gedit /etc/profile)

I cannot seem to find what I need to in either these forums, Ubuntu help, or various Man pages.Issue:When I insert a CD it automounts correctly, but I cannot Use the "Open with Wine" option (even after configuring wine to recognize the executable) due to a "trust" issue within Ubuntu. I have learned that this "trust" is simply the executable bit, but I obviously cannot change that bit on a read only medium. he software requires the CD at both install and run time, so I cannot use a separately mounted ISO.Somewhere there must be a setting where I can turn off the "require trust flag" which I assume must exist.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI created a script, named mount_share.sh (in /etc/init.d), to mount the shared VirtBox dir at boot so I don't have to do it manually every time I load the VM. The script contains the following:
#!/bin/sh
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000 osx_shared /home/rob/ubuntu_shared
I made it executable:
sudo chmod +x mount_share.sh
Then I assigned it to run at startup:
sudo update-rc.d mount_share.sh start 51 S .
I'm thinking it may be either:
1) A pathing problem to the ubuntu_shared dir but, if I run "ls -al" from inside /etc/init.d, it does find the ubunt_shared dir
2) Trying to run as sudo from inside the script. But, since all startup scripts run as the root user, I shouldn't even need the "sudo" in there which I have tried to no avail.
I upgraded karmic to lynx today and I'm stuck with some weird behaviour with one of my virtual hosts. The virtual hosts under /var/www/site work but my virtual host for DAVICAL which points to /usr/share/davical/htdocs/ doesn't.
Navigation to any html pages works but php files just show up blank!
Has there been a configuration change in lynx for virtual hosts outside of /var/www?
so sorry about this seemingly silly cron question. I know a lot are asked, and are usually just environment related.Anyway, I wrote a very simple PHP script to mount my external drive to a specific location as soon as it's switched on.The script works great when run.What's strange, is that it runs in cron and generates a log file, but for someone reason doesn't mount the drive when cron runs itI added in the full path to EVERYTHING in the script, and I'm calling it with the full path from crontab, but it doesn't mount my drive when run from cron.I've tried running the individual commands on the cmd, and it all works.

If user joe1 has an executable that is NFS mounted, owned by him and permissions are set such:
--x--x--x a.out
he can't run it:
./a.out: Permission denied.
if he moves it to the local machine, say /tmp, it works fine with the same permissions.
joe can execute the file if he changes the permissions to r-x--x--x
this behavior seems to exist on the 11.04 clients, but not the 10.04 clients.
