Ubuntu :: Firefox Tab And Arrow Navigation Have Ceased To Work?
Aug 19, 2010
As a preface, this is not an F7 carat mode problem.Firefox 3.6.8 in Lucid no longer is navigable with the keyboard.Up/Down arrows, PgUp/PgDown, Home/End, when the page is in focus, fail to scroll the window. TAB fails to switch between form fields on the page and in the toolbar (Example: Previously, CTRL-L to go to URL field then TAB into the search field would work. Now the CTRL-L works but TAB has no effect.)
I am used to hitting the left/right arrow keys to change pages when reading PDFs (using PDF X-Change Viewer on Windows). Can I do the same with Evince on Ubuntu? I don't see any preferences window..Fully updated Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64, Evince 2.30.3 here.
I have installed Suse 11.3 on my Dell 2110, and everything went fine (wireless network included). After a couple of weeks, while I was trying to access a wireless network, the wireless module ceased to work.Now on knetworkmanager the option to enable wireless network is grey and cannot be selected. Following some indications I found in this forum for a similar issue, I uninstalled the broadcom drivers and re-install them again, with a cold start between the two phases as suggested, without success. After that, the option on knetworkmanager is still grey, and from yast the wireless module appears as "not configured". If I switch to ifup and configure it, the situation does not change.
This is my current configuration: Suse 11.3, kernel 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop, 64 bit version. KDE 4.4.4 "release 3" I am using the following drivers: b43-firmware 4.174.64.19-3.pm.3.1 b43-fwcutter 012-6.1
After instalation of Suse 11.4, wifi worked totally correctly, until the first restart. Then it ceased to work. It looks like everything is working correctly until WPA authentication.

Code:
So until now it looks for me that everything works correctly, but after trying to connect the problems begin.
dmesg output:
Code:
So the wlan interface authenticates, and then disauthenticates by local choice? a bit about the reason points to wpa_supplicant. Many peoples report that they have multiple copies running, and killing them solves a problem. Sadly I've only one copy, and after being killed it restarts.
Here is wpa_supplicant.log on the first run after install(when it worked)
I installed squeeze and followed the instructions concerning b43-fwcutter and obtained firmware for my broadcom wlan interface. So my wlan worked for a while, but it just ceased functioning, for no obvious reason.
It has happened to my debian jessie system that the sound sometimes ceased to work, but after a quick review of alsamixer, pavucontrol it was easy to put everything back to normal. Not this time
The sound works as a charm with no headphones, but not with them, and I find them particularly useful for talking with people since the sound quality is way better...
I have alsa and pulseaudio installed on my system
uname -a Linux device 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.13-2 (2014-07-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux

In pavucontrol everything looks normal, and the output seems to be working...
I recently installed Suse 11.4 on my Dell Latitude 2110 netbook using the KDE live distribution, and, after that, the Broadcom wireless ceased to work. To enable the wireless connection, I have to press Fn + F6. If I do it now, the wireless led indicator turns on for a couple of seconds, then turns off again. Moreover, the option to enable the wireless connection in the network manager is greyed out

A fresh installation of ubuntu 9.10 stopped my DSL internet connection. sudo pppoeconf solved the problem of net, but NetworkManager applet in panel now not working. it says wired networks, device not managed.
First of all, this is not famous problem, which solves by unchecking "Allow to control the pointer using the keyboard". My numpad navigation does not work in console under X. Nor in Konsole/KDE/Kubuntu (9.10), nor in Console/Gnome/Ubuntu (9.04). It works in graphics applications. It works in system console in text mode (Ctrl+Alt+F1..6) too. But in Konsole I can't navigate cursor by numpad arrows in Midnight Commander or text editors. When NumLock is on - the numbers are typed. But when it off, nothing happens - cursor doesn't move. The same reaction from Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys on numpad.
When using firefox, if I use my arrow keys in the keyboard to scroll through the Window, it works only if the mouse pointer is inside the window. Otherwise, the scroll doesn't work. Is there any way to solve this problem?
It's not just the arrow keys, even the TouchPad scroll on my laptop also.
This is a weird problem I am facing right now. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) Firefox 3.6.3. The tab key, the arrow keys and the page down / up keys dont work anymore. They're working fine in any other application, like Chrome.
The keys were fine till yesterday and suddenly they have stopped responding.
Hi, very new to opensuse. I have 64bit 11.3 and its been working very well. My problem is that in Firefox: I have Firefox 3.6.12 when i scroll down using the mouse scroll wheel (not up?) most of the time, but not all the time i get horizontal lines instead of the "real picture". This also happens when i use my keyboard's down arrow key.
When i go slower it seems to happen less often. Also if i click off the page and back on again the display is fine. Is this problem my graphics card? Firefox? or my mouse/keyboard?
In linux version of firefox (specifically in my case Debian's rebranded Iceweasel), folders of bookmarks in the personal toolbar show a little down arrow on the right of the name. It serves no real purpouse and just takes up horizontal space, is there a way to remove it?
I've just read this thread: [URL] and the information it seems is a bit out of date and a risk to use. I felt more comfortable with the .gtkrc-2.0 file suggested a few posts in, but it doesn't work, in that it turns the panel to the Raleigh-themed one which we always get when there's some kind of error in a gtkrc file, as those of us that have dabbled in theming will know.
It's comical that this minor but unnecessary eyesore goes back so far and hasn't been dealt with, but is there any new info about this, a new method, for 10.10? I don't want to be doing compiling or to risk messing things up, as has been caused by the directions in the other thread, because I've been experimenting with different distros for two years, just bought a new hard drive, and have settled now.
Maybe someone here knows why the .gtkrc-2.0 file hasn't worked for me? I twigged that the panel (though not the rest of the theme, i.e. in program windows) had turned to Raleigh because of those ugly handles pertaining to the Window List panel applet and the one to the left of the notification area. I used the exact file in that other thread, I tried logging out and in and then rebooting, and I even tried pasting the file's contents into the gtkrc file of the theme I use. If you need to know, I'm using the 'Lush' Metacity window border and the 'Redmond' engine.
I bought a fancy new keyboard a couple of weeks ago, a Logitech illuminated one, and it works great in openSuSE 11.2 . . . after it's booted up. It's a dual boot system, however, and today I needed to get into Windows to do some CAD work, and couldn't! That's when I discovered that the arrow keys didn't work in GRUB. It's the particular keyboard, because I can plug the old one in and the problem goes away. Both are USB keyboards. And it must have something to do with loading a keyboard driver of some sort prior to the GRUB screen, because the new keyboard works fine once the bootup is completed. In fact, I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and didn't notice a problem until today.
After the last update in testing, (02/21/16), my sound stopped, (it did have an unfixed issue with the jacks and muting, things would be muted on reboot, until I plugged in something, then removed the plug from the front jack), I have never had a sound issue, so I am a lot lost here...
Here is what I know... If I use speaker-test as root, I hear sound... If I use speaker-test as my normal user account, (non root), I see no errors in the term window, but hear no sound... To me this says permissions issue, but I am a member of audio.
I have this annoying problem since day one.I am testing out Red Hat RHEL5, everything is fine except DNS look up.If I ping www.google.com, it doesn't work, ping ip address it all works;if I bring up browser, put www.google.com it doesn't work, can't find the name, however, simply put ip address there it works.My DNS seeting seems ok, and the DNS works from Windows box.
I have followed the instructions at http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~dugan/setting-up-slackware.html (under "Making Firefox Perfect"), but I still get the error message"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program."
I am using Tiny Menu extension on my firefox so that I have to disable Navigation toolbar. I do so but everytime when I reopen the firefox I see that it is active again. What can I do? I am usinng firefox 3.6.3 on my ubuntu 10.04 machine(upgraded from 9.10).
I'm a recent user of Dolphin in Kubuntu. I use the split-view mode. I'd like to navigate back and forth between the two main windows with a simple keyboard action such as TAB, i.e. tabbing back and forth as I copy files from one directory to another. How could I set that up? I looked under Dolphin shortcuts but wasn't able to configure this action.
I have just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. The installation process seems to be perfect. However, after I reboot, I can only see my previous desktop. But all the side bars are gone. The so-called Unity tools (sounds like Mac Dock) are not present at all. Now the only thing I can do is click my mouse on the desktop, open a terminal by right click, play things that have link on my desktop... I even cannot find the option to reboot or start Firefox.
So out of the blue this morning when i started ubuntu and logged in the top bar and bottom navigation bars wouldn't load. I did recently uninstall some software,ut i had successfully restarted and logged in multiple times since. So im not really sure what is going on.
I just upgraded my ubuntu to 10.10 and discovered that the navigation keys in the 'less' utility are not working anymore. Both the cursor keys and the page keys are just echoed as key codes:
Code:
:^[[A^[[B^[[C^[[D^[[5~^[[6~ (I hit up, down, right, left, pgup, pgdown)
This is really nasty - moreover, this issue seems to be too difficult to google (at least for me) beause 'less' is not a very good keyword to search for
PS: I already checked TERM=xterm -- must be something else...
I'm having problems with open-office writer. back-space end all other navigation keys refuse to work...delete works fine. system runs Hardy Heron and o-office 2.4.1The problem only applies to my profile, what files should I look for concerning keyboard config? Methinks Gnome and KDE frontends kinda conflict when assigning layouts to the keyboard, but that's just my own rambling
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my systems. In the file browser or any internet browser, if I click on back, forward or up, nothing happens. I stays on the current page/location. Even if goes back, sometimes, it again comes back automatically to current page/location. I can navigate using keyboard but not with mouse.
On all the previous versions of Ubuntu there was a button I'd press to change between button navigation like this and text navigation like this but I can't find this button anymore so now all I have is button navigation. Theres no reason they'd get rid of that feature so I'm guessing its in there somewhere, I just can't find it.
