Ubuntu :: How To Use All Characters Associated With Keys

Jul 6, 2010

I added a Romanian keyboard to the system. When I check the layout I see some keys have four characters associated with them. For example the key highlighted in the screenshot I attached has four characters: ș, Ș, ;, :. The first two can be used by pressing the key with or without Shift, but how about the other two?

Ubuntu :: Delete All ASCII Characters In File - Leave Chinese Characters Only

Jul 8, 2011

What command could I use in terminal to delete all ASCII characters? That is, delete a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and all punctuation? I have a file containing Chinese characters, and I want to remove everything else and leave just the Chinese.

I can use grep to leave only the lines that have Chinese in them, but this still leaves a lot of non-Chinese stuff on those lines. Does anyone know how I could actually remove everything that isn't Chinese?

General :: Does Non-printing Characters Escape Characters Still Needed For PS1 Definition?

Aug 28, 2011

While modifying the definition of my PS1, I saw that "[" and "]" markers should be added to help bash to compute the right display lenght. Many exemples on the web do not use them or even mention them.I searched for a solution to add them automatically, like with sed, but I didn't find any example.Are they still needed and is there a recommandation not to use sed to define PS1?

General :: F3 - F5 Keys Incorrectly Behaving As Audio Keys / Remap Them To Original Meaning?

Apr 17, 2010

I 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?

General :: Re-mapping Non-standard Keys To Modifier Keys?

Apr 7, 2011

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

Ubuntu :: Conky And Unprintable Characters?

Feb 4, 2010

I've downloaded a .htm file from the WWW which has the following few lines:

Quote:
<h1>
Latest Times as at: 4-Feb-2010 15:30 ${color3}${execi 1800 grep "Latest" FinishTimes.htm | sed -e 's/ in Tideda Files//'}
</h1>
and in my Conky script I do this:
Code:
${color3}${execi 1800 grep "Latest" FinishTimes.htm}

but when it prints on the screen there is an empty box at the end of the line. I assume this a CR or LF that's attached to the end of the line, but how can I get rid of it?

Ubuntu :: KDE 4.4 - Compose Key And Special Characters

Feb 15, 2010

I am trying to type German Umlaut letters on an English keyboard using kde 4.4. For some reason I seem unable to figure out how to do that (I have just recently switched to kde, was using gnome before). I have looked through various threads and the kubuntu wiki [URL], but can't get the compose key to work. In gnome I used to type "AltGr" plus "[" followed by a vowel and thus get my Umlaut - before I fiddled with the system settings this worked in kde, but only in firefox & Open Office (I assume they are gtk apps).

Since it did not work in Kmail, I went to the system settings, set up a ComposeKey (AltGr, but also tried rightWin), but it doesn't change anything for the kde applications. It only means that the old key-combination now stopped working in firefox and OO. In the system setting of kde 4.4 I can't see the options to enable xkb-options, but I assume the advanced options of the keyboard layout are xkb-options of previous kde releases. I unticked the box 'reset old options', but nothing changed. I type a lot of German text, so using a character map is not an option.

Ubuntu :: Shortcuts For Missing Characters?

Dec 29, 2010

I am the proud owner of a netbook with Spanish keyboard where the < and > keys do not type the corresponding symbol. Instead they send Home. In addition I write in Norwegian and I would like to type the easily. Alt gr (right alt) combinations do not generate those characters. I would like to type < with the Shift-Ctrl-L key combination and similar short cuts for the remaining keys I am missing Like Ctrl-Shift-o for . I somehow was able to launch gnome-do with the Ctrl-Shift-Space key combination which is great as the Windows key is hijacked by Unity.

Ubuntu :: Left Shift Key Is Ignored For Some Characters

Jan 19, 2011

I've been having a strange problem with my keyboard lately. certain characters aren't capitalized when I hold the left shift. Right shift covers these buttons, but then ignores some itself.I know that it used to be fine, as I set a password on my router with a capital letter which then did not work, and in my AWN terminal, I would use ctrl+shift+v to paste in lines of code.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, on a Compaq Altec Lansing.For a demonstartion, here is the alphabet as typed holding the shift keys.

Left Shift
ABcDEFGHIJKLmNOPQRSTUvWxYz
Right Shift
ABCDeFGHiJKLMNopqrSTuVwXYZ
Both Shifts
A B ce D ce F G H ,i J K L mu N .o /p zq vr S T mu vr xw xw Y zq

Also, I noticed now that I cannot use the right shift with the Left arrow key to highlight text...

Ubuntu :: Rendering Of Characters In Firefox?

Jan 29, 2011

I have a weird issue in Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10, and sadly it's a periodic mistake that I don't know how to initiate... Sometime in firefox some of the characters seems not fully rendered, and as I recall it can also happen in menu fonts sometimes. In the attached screen-shot you can see that it's the a character that has the problem - but only for one font type or? But I have seen this with most characters I think - and as stated this happens randomly.For instance right now I looked again in the tab in firefox where I just 5 minutes ago did the screen-shot and now all characters are correct?? I have tried to reload or even restart firefox when it occurs, but this is now guaranty for a solution... When it happens it makes many homepages unreadable

Ubuntu :: All Characters On Login Screen Are Boxes?

Feb 7, 2010

I got a new computer yesterday, a 64-bit Asus.I replaced the power supply and the graphics card immediately. I booted the computer up with a spare 20"idescreen monitor on a portable desk to install Ubuntu and make sure all was well with the newly installed power supply and graphics card.It worked perfectly.I moved my old tower out from its slot under my desk and put the new Asus tower under there. I plugged it into my 23" widescreen monitor and booted the computer.Ubuntu (9.10) boots just fine... but the login screen is all boxes!! There are no characters, just little white boxes. I can put in my password and log in. Once logged in the system is fine - all characters display normally from within Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Security :: Password Characters And Length

Mar 24, 2010

I need a little insight, and I�m not sure if the two can relate, but I am trying to find out the following.
When generating WEP Keys the available bits are: 64/128/152/256; however, you need 5/13/16/29 character respectfully for each key if you generate the key manually.Can this formula be applied to passwords and the length of the password? For example: if my password had 29 characters, could I say that my password is 256-bits?

Ubuntu :: Weird Font - All The Characters Were Boxes ?

May 24, 2010

I noticed some programs, such as Terminal, would instead of having the default font, all the characters were boxes (as if they were undefined chars). Then I restarted and then ALL TEXT ON UBUNTU WERE []S. I can't even read what anything says. I'm in Windows now posting this because I can't read anything on Ubuntu.

How can I fix this font issue? (Preferably without reinstalling?) I noticed using recovery mode I can use a non-GUI version of Ubuntu which is basically Terminal as an OS in which I can actually see the font.

Ubuntu :: Hexadecimal Characters In Evolution And Terminal?

Jun 15, 2010

I have been dredging the internet trying to find the answer to this and frankly, my brain hurts. On some e-mails that show up fine in Windows are showing up with hexadecimal characters in Evolution. I assume that it is because of the encoding because I have downloaded every font in the book, it seems, including the microsoft tty fonts. I only can find how to change the encoding on Evolution and aside from foreign (I'm in US) encodings I just have the unicode 7 & 8 which don't help. I'm thinking there is some sort of proprietary Microsoft encoding that I need.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Incorrectly Displaying Some Characters?

Jun 23, 2010

I've been seeing things like this in Firefox since installing:

Franais
Espaol

where the is a special/accented character. I've also been seeing the in places that seem likely to have some kind of quote mark, probably curved quotes. I can see straight single and double quotes. To correct this, I've tried changing the display font and the character encoding. I've also looked at the Mozilla Add-On site to see if I could find a plug-in to fix it, to no avail.

What should I try now? Currently I'm using Liberation Sans with UTF-8. I'm a native English speaker so I need a western encoding (I think), but I'd still like other characters to display properly.
