I've just done a fresh install of Natty. The key Ctr-Alt-R doesn't do anything. I've checked in both Unity and Gnome. Using the Keyboard Layout GUI when I press Ctrl and then Alt and then R, the Ctr and Alt keys light up but the R key doesn't. Ctr-Alt-S works (and so do the other keys I've tried). kev shows a keynotify event for Ctrl-Alt-R, not a keypress event. I've checked my Keyboard Shortcuts to make sure it isn't listed there, but since the Keyboard Layout doesn't show the R key being pressed I don't think it's a shortcut issue.
" Mark the start of the text with "v", "V" or CTRL-V. The character under the cursor will be used as the start.""With CTRL-V (blockwise Visual mode) the highlighted text will be a rectanglebetween start position and the cursor."I can mark the start with "v" or "V".But it doesn't work when I push ctrl+V.
anyone has a clue why 'ctrl+a, k' nor 'ctrl+a, :kill' doesn't work for killing one of screen windows? Other screen's commands invoked with 'ctrl+a'seem to work.
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.
I want to use the text mode but when I press Ctrl + Alt + F4, I get the normal screen with strange colors, and nothing else...I have to press Ctrl + Alt + F7 to return to the normal screen (I mean, the same screen with the normal colors). Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits version. Asus u30j.
I tried search for a solution for this from google but couldn't find much that would help me. I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04 from the live cd, and now I want to install the nvidia drivers. But i'm not able to access the terminal. Ctrl + alt + f1-f7 does nothing. Also, doing sudo service gdm stop, puts me in the black screen where it gets stuck at "Checking Battery state", with a blinking cursor following it. I can type stuff but it doesn't do anything. No terminal, no response.
After that the only thing that works is alt+ctrl+delete , which shows me the ubuntu logo for a few seconds , with a few lines in the black screen before the restart happens. Sorry i'm really new to linux so I'm not sure what files or configs I can show you guys to help with this unless you ask for something specifically.
I am doing a project on rdesktop. My aim is to setup a write/copy protected session. I have made rdesktop connection between two Linux machines using Xrdp.Next I want to disable the ctrl+x,ctrl+v keys and the cut and copy option in mouse right click at client side
My name is ken on my system. Whenever I try to use CTRL or Shift Insert to copy or paste text, i get a dialog box that comes up and says, Could not find "/home/ken/~", see attachment, even after I click on the OK button. It used to work a long long time ago.It does not copy or paste anything. I'm on Karmic. If its a keybinding where the heck is it located. I'm sort of a noob.
ctrl+alt+[f1 -f3] switch doesn't work, but back to ctrl+alt+f7 works normal. When i switch from ctrl+alt+f7 to ctrl+alt+f1 I see that on the dash flashes on the screen.
I've Intellij Idea and Netbeans installed on my Ubuntu desktop. Both worked fine while I was on 10.10.After upgrading to 11.04 both of them became irresponsive to Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V/Ctrl+{Any alphabet letter} combinations. However these combinations work in non-Java apps (e.g. gedit).Besides that Ctrl+Alt+L (Lock screen) is not handled by the system, no matter what application is active.Disabling unity does not help. Starting in ubuntu classic w/o effects does not help either.
All of these freezes happen either while I'm in Nautilus or I'm opening Nautilus. The usual Ctrl+Alt+Fx (x being one to six) to get into the backstage does not work. If I have some music open then it would start looping the last couple of seconds.Now generally I would go check the logs, but I see no nautilus logs so what should I check?This is all pretty recent. I think that this started to happen when one day exim4 (and some packages all marked exim) got updated but I cannot be certain. Major playing-around after that would be some Wine issues but the system froze once before all that Wine fun.So step one, what should I check?
not sure exactly when this broke, but for some reason I'm not able to use CTRL-ALT-F1 anymore to fall back to the first virtual console.I can kill X with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE just fine, but I'd like to be able to get a normal shell to kill things when I've messed too much with graphical stuff.
I'm running fedora 13 on a Dell Latitude E6500. It's a dual 64-bit system.
It was working, but then I tried to swap caps lock and control.
I used: System->Preferences->Keyboard Layouts->USA->Options Then, under Control Key Position, I selected swap caps lock and control.
Now, my keyboard won't work in the Keyboard Preferences test area or in any other window or when the screen-lock comes on.
I tried logging out. I tried rebooting. I tried deleting my .gnome2 directory. Nothing seems to work. I can use the keyboard on other accounts, so the keyboard is not the problem.
When running MC in xterm or gnome-terminal, it doesn't seem to allow the use of Ctrl-enter and Ctr-shift-enter to copy marked files to the command line.
Does anyone know of another way to cause this to happen or a way to enable it under xterm/gnome-term?
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
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.
I've been using Kaggregator in KDE-PIM, which uses Konqueror as the browserto go to links from Kaggregator.Unfortunately, Konqueror no longer seems tobe able to Copy highlighted material with Ctrl C, the way we've done it forever.Is this a setting I've missed? Or is this a new "feature" in Konqueror?
I'm trying to write a init.d script to daemonise a sagemath notebook server. Here's what I've done so far, I've copied /etc/init.d/single for the structure, and tried to use dtach to provide a handle to access the process. However, my main problem is issuing the signals to kill the process (Ctrl-C) from a bash script and exit dtach (Ctrl-`)
I'm trying to install Debian on Dell XPS L501, and there are lots of problems...
1- Resolution is 800x600! I guess, I need to add that there is no xorg.conf file, and I couldn't create it by running `Xorg -configure`. It said the number of screens didn't match number of detected devices or something like that! I'd be really happy if this gets solved!
2- Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3/4/... doesn't work! Sometimes Alt+Directional keys works. but most of the time it doesn't!
3- I can't get the loud speakers to work, and I couldn't compile Alsa from source... I'll try again, but does anyone know if there is a specific package I need to install to get them to work? (Realtek ID 665)
4- Keys are not working right... Function keys don't work... But the worse thing, is that if let's say Fn+F2 is supposed to disable wireless, F2 does!
after you hit ctrl+alt+F2 it says < [username]login: > i've tried a thousand different lines here and everytime it asks for password then says wrong login. what am I missing?
Here I was, having problems with the resolution then I stopped the X server as was instructed at the tutorial. I followed it all then rebooted. But I found that even after reboot, I'm still stuck with TTY. I clicked Ctrl Alt F7 but still it's a terminal and it did not return to the GUI or the normal desktop. What will I do to exit it? It's a good thing I have windows vista along with it or else I'll now have a computer that I can't use outside the terminal.
As nothingspecial said, I should place the link of the tutorial I was following: [URL]
I'm trying to make get a higher resolution when I use Ctrl+Alt+F2, I've looked up in other forums but apparently 9.10 changed its methods to fixing your desired resolution. I've tried other ways of changing it but I get an error when I boot in to the system, I have Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, a GeForce 8800m GTS, the highest my screen can go is 1440x900.
I am an Ubuntu/Linux noob, I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago, and it sometimes gets extremely slow and crashes. I can't get out of the crash with ctrl-alt-backspace and I have even tried the key combinations suggested here to no avail.
Ubuntu 9.10 Computer: IBM T42 mem 500 MiB Intel Pentium 1.70GHz
The crashes usually involve Firefox being open + another program ( could be pdf reader, calibre, or something similar). I try to keep the amount of open Firefox tabs below 5 as it gets very, very slow (that was one of the reasons why I decided to install Ubuntu, in the old windows XP installation Firefox was also excruciatingly slow).
For some reason since 9.10 CTRL-V doesn't seem to work in my terminal. Used to work just fine, but now I have to Rightclick Paste any commands.I cut my teeth on commandline inputs and this is a bit like having a dog and doing the barking myself
Every time I do Ctrl+C/X and want to paste something with Ctrl+V my browser opens up trying to go to [URL] I looked in the forums and they explained that, if I understand correctly, ubuntu or gnome doesn't have a clipboard manager (I'm probably wrong)... so installed Parcelite and I have it running but it doesn't solve the problem. I'm really used to using shortcuts. At school we use Fedora and there's no problem using Ctrl+V How can I fix this problem?
Since I still want to do all my programming on Win32 platform, VirtualBox should be fine there, but would VirtualBox be able to manage games ( BF2, CSS )?If so then well I'm going to Ubuntu permenatly, if not, I'll just Dual boot between Windows & Ubuntu, Ubuntu for everything ( VirtualBox for programming ), and Windows os for Gaming.
My only problem there, is having to restart every time I want to play a game, that's why I was hoping VirtualBox could manage, wouldn't have to be any, fancy resolution.Also, with Firefox on linux, is it possible to use Ctrl- ( 1, 2, 3, etc... ) to switch tabs, on windows this is possible, and an a feature I love.
Today I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 server (64bit) on my machine and found that CTRL-c (i.e., control key plus c) does not work in emacs 23.1 (from emacs23 package), which means I cannot quit the emacs by "CTRL-x CTRL-c" any longer.
Whenever I type CTRL-C, the emacs says "<cancel> is undefined". The "describe key (i.e., CTRL-h k)" command for CTRL-c leaves the following message in the message buffer: "<cancel> (translated from C-c) is undefined".
Until 9.10, I have never had such problems and wonder whether this has been introduced by 10.04.
In fact, I found that the behavior of CTRL-c has been slightly changed in a terminal (e.g., putty session) as well, and googling gives the following: [URL]
But I'm not sure the above has something to do with the said issue with emacs.
