Ubuntu :: Hold Keys Down To Input Anything ?
Jun 18, 2010I'm having an issue with the keyboard in ubuntu. I'm running 10.04 on my laptop. I must hold any key down for about 1.5 seconds for it to be input. It's like sticky keys.

(I am using a USB keyboard to type this post)
OS/Hardware: F-15 LXDE spin, "en_US", keyboard "jp"/ notebook Fujitsu FMV-Biblo NH28D (Japan, 2003).

[=keys not producing any input] other keys are working:
I have no expertise with this kind of problem. The keyboard used to work on Ubuntu 9.04. I am not positive, but I think it was working on Fedora Gnome 13. It does not work on F-14 LXDE spin, and F-15 LXDE spin. I don't remember either the last time I have disassembled the notebook (damaged connector?)
How do I troubleshoot the problem?

Just wondering if Ubuntu has an Accessibility equivalent for sticky keys and mouse keys.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this is a configuration issue or a hardware issue, but I have a Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and for some reason the F3-F5 keys aren't responding as they used to. They don't respond to anything and, when I tried using F5 on Emacs, it said <XF86AudioNext> is undefined, so I guess it's a weird mapping problem.
Any idea how I could remap them to the original meaning?
I'm running Debian (Squeeze) and I have a toshiba portege m700. It has five buttons on the front just under the screen, which are the only ones accessible when you flip the screen over into tablet mode. One of them is for rotating the screen, and another is for switching to external display. I want to remap the remaining three to control, alt and super so that I can use shortcuts with the stylusThe problem is, when I used showkey to find out the key codes, I found out that each button generates more than one key code:Button 1:
key 126 press >> super_r, although this is distinct from the actual super key (125)
key 7 press >> 6
key 7 release
key 126 release
I recently got a real fancy unidirectional microphone, but when I go and use it, something strange happens. The mic is a mono mic, but when I record something, it appears to think it's stereo. Instead of having the same thing on both channels, it puts it all in the left channel, and silence on the right channel.
I tried fiddling with alsamixer. In capture (F4), adjusting the "Capture" device has an effect. However, it doesn't do anything useful. Lowering the right channel to zero does nothing, lowering the left channel to zero creates silence, and disabling the right channel creates silence.
In my System>Preferences>Sound (or pavucontrol, or what-have-you), there are "Analog Stereo Input" and "Analog Stereo Duplex" options there, but no "Analog Mono Input" or "Analog Stereo Output + Analog Mono Input" options (the latter being ideal).
Something interesting, though, if I do this:
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 1 -vv -V mono /dev/null
it works correctly and outputs on both channels. But if I do
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 2 -vv -V stereo /dev/null
then it's back to the same behavior. The VU meter on the second command shows the left channel going up and down as I make noise, but the right one always at zero.
The machine does have a crap internal mic built in to the screen bezel. If I do either of the above commands, they both work correctly. The stereo VU shows the same activity for both channels.
The machine is a Eee 1015PED, which has Intel integrated sound. Something probably insignificant is that the mic has a 1/4 inch mono plug, and to get it to plug into the Eee, I needed to get a 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapter. The mic's 1/4 plug is mono (duh) and therefore two-conductor, but the adapter I got is stereo, or three conductor (L, R, GND). I don't know if this is tripping something in hardware to tell it it's stereo or something.
I tried the mic on my desktop, which has a SB Audigy 4 (the non-pro flavor) and that has the "Analog Mono Input" function, so that works fine. Is there some way to turn this stereo input into mono input?
...and the answer isn't "use LTS". Maybe the next LTS whenever that comes out (12.whatever?), but we needed 10.10 for the ATI drivers. Anyway, 11.04 has hit and since I'm dealing with office machines and software developers who expect a stable environment, I want to hold back 10.10 as long as possible (or at least "as long as I need to test things"), both on desktop and server installs. I'm looking at 130+ other updates in Update Managar today and when I hit the install updates button I had to fumble for the cancel button because it went to the dist-upgrade screen. How can I tell what packages will trigger the Ubuntu upgrade so I can freeze them?

There was an option in 9.10 in the Sound Options to change the Mic Input into a Line Input. But now unfortunately I can't find it in Lucid have only 2 audio ports in the laptop: Headphone port, Mic port.

I created a ram disk with this command: sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=2048M,nr_inodes=500k,mode=777 tmpfs /var/cache/apt-build/build When I run apt-build, I got an error message that the disk is full (unable to copy file or something). But no disk was full when I checked with 'df'.
we know the maximum of files created from the nr_inodes number? Or is there any other option that determines the max number of files created?
I have a tablet computer running 10.04 and I was wondering if there is a way under Linux to have click and hold be a right click like it is under Windows Xp/Vista/7 this is really the last piece of functionality I am missing on the system under Linux. I have tried easystroke but I do not like that I have to disable it in order to use Xournal on the system so that will not work for right clicking...

Code:
echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections.However, this command doesn't prevent ttf-mscorefonts-installer from being installed along with wine1.3 in maverick.[code]....
it's just that dpkg isn't picking it up.What is going on here, and how can I place a package on permanent hold?
Note: I ended up installing wine1.3 by running:
Code:
sudo aptitude install wine1.3 ttf-mscorefonts-installer= but I don't believe that the package is actually on permanent hold.
I need to quiesce a VM manually and for that I need to somehow pause VM and hold incoming I/O requests.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can think of a lot of different situations when being able to "autoclick" would be really useful. By autoclick, I mean that I want to be able to hold down the left-click button and have it rapidly clickity clickity clickity as fast as the processor can handle.
One example is games where I have a semi-automatic weapon and I have to hammer the mouse button with my finger. It would be nicer to reduce the wear and tear on my trackpad.
I would like to configure the eth0 manually. I can configure the ip address and sub-netmask but the system can't hold my gateway ip address (I added). It will keep it 0.0.0.0. I have no problem when I getting IP address from DHCP server.
View 1 Replies View RelatedInitially on a fresh install, I install an icon theme to /usr/share/icons and a few extra icons that I use in desktop, taskbar, and menu launcher icons to /usr/share/pixmaps. Anyway, it all works just fine. Again, no problems at all.
Today, I decided why in the world would I separate the two, and why not just put all my icons inside my icon set in /usr/share/icons, and then just reset those launchers. No biggie.
However, for some odd reason icons that I've set in launchers on my taskbar and in the menu won't stay/hold, and it just remains a generic icon. Why? They are the EXACT same icons that were in /usr/share/pixmaps. All I did was put them inside /usr/share/icons/my-theme. I don't get it.
And just to see if it worked, I put them back inside the /pixmaps folder and they work. So obviously, not a big deal, but I would love to know why. What is the difference that is preventing me from having them all work in my /icons folder?
I've refreshed, restarted, and retried over and over to see if it was just a glitch, but to know avail.

Having trouble figuring this out. I've got a package that I've installed from out-of-repos and Kubuntu feels the need to "upgrade" this package to a version that I do not want to use. I've found out how to do this in Ubuntu, but not in Kubuntu. A commandline solution would be fine, although I've googled it and not come up with any working results.

For example, sometimes when I create a bookmark in Chrome, you click the Folder button to have it popup a list of folders where you can put the bookmark. Sometimes clicking this causes it to pop open and stay open. Other times clicking it opens it for a second and then it immediately closes. To be able to select a folder when its acting like this I have to click and hold the mouse button and then select what I want while continuing to hold the button. This doesn't only happen in Chrome. Sometimes it happens while setting ubuntu settings in the OS itself or in other applications.
Is this a bug? Why is the behavior inconsistent?
I use another kernel on my eeepc which is specially adjusted for the Hardware Needs of this little machine.
The source of this kernel is: [url]
But since today I have the problem that the updater would like to update the vanilla kernel from the Fedora Repos.
Even though there aren't any versions of this vanilla kernel already installed. So I don't know what causes this mistake and would like to prevent this kernel from auto-updating.
I have seen a few options out there but, has anyone know of a real good piece of software that you can use a internal voice modem in place of a on hold music device? I think it's out there but I haven't found a decent one. I have seen them for answering machines and such, but an on hold would be cool.

Why is the info in the (BASH_Profile) file different than (echo $Path). Is the Profile file just there to modify another file and not actually hold information?
