Keyboard repeat doesn't seem to work correctly on my system (Xubuntu, 9.10). Holding a key down ends in the repeat function stopping after a certain point, and at different times each time. Also, editing text fields is tricky because the field currently highlighted reverts to its previous value if I don't hit enter fast enough (I have to type new values into a notepad and copy and paste it quickly into the field).
View 2 RepliesSome Flash games don't work very well on Linux because when you hold down a key (such as one of the cursor keys) the Flash player sends the game multiple KeyDown and KeyUp events, leaving the game unable to tell the difference between a user holding a key or a user tapping a key quickly. (On other platforms it seems that typematic repeat generates multiple KeyDown events but not KeyUp events.)
Anyway, to work around this problem, I go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and disable "Key presses repeat when key is held down" when I want to play a Flash game, then put it back afterwards. I do this often enough that I'd like to set up some shortcut keys to change the setting. I figured out the following commands to turn it off and on again:
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/repeat --type bool false
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/repeat --type bool true
My problem is that when I have tried entering these on the command-line (in a gnome-terminal), X-windows seems to get confused and behaves as though I'm holding down the enter key. It doesn't stop if I press enter again. I tried pressing ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to a text console and it worked fine, but when I pressed ctrl-alt-f7 to go back to X it still behaved as though I was holding down enter. I had to press ctrl-alt-backspace to reset X before it would return to normal. I *think* it happens in particular when changing the setting from true to false. I'm running Karmic Koala with all the updates.
When I go to boot up, I ususally have a failedattempt or two at logging in, because my autorepeat rate on the keyboard will often give me morethan one character when I depress a key. SoI put my password in wrong and get a failed attempt.After I log in I usually run:kbdrate -r 6 -d 500This gets my autorepeat rate down to 6 char per secondand delay time to 500 to where I can actually use the keyboard. Is there some place I can run those commands duringboot, so that I don't have the failed and repeated

im using ubuntu 10.10 on a dell e1505 laptop with a x1400 graphics card. 2.5 gb ram and a core 2 duo 1.83. i also dual boot vista for lightroom only. my huge problem is that every music player i try doesnt work correctly in some way. ive tried amarok, banshee, rhythmbox, songbird (wine), exail, one with a name that started with a "g" and was long and strange. i forget the name now. i think i tried a few others too. i also have about 40k songs but ive only loaded my entire library into rhythmbox. the others i just tried with one cd.
my problem is that they either crash right away, things dont work such as the eq, or they freeze the entire pc. rhythmbox is the best i can do and it freezes my entire pc after about an hour of use...sometimes quicker.something that could possibly be of importance...i could not get 10.04 to work with my external monitor on this pc. it made the entire screen very wiggly looking. 10.10 solved that. though it does flicker every once in awhile.please tell me there is some way i can fix this...i really dont want to go back to vista.
I recently installed 10.10, and I have not been able to get the gnome panel clock to work correctly. I will set it to the correct time, but every time I reboot it will be wrong by several hours. I have never had a problem in previous versions and I have always set the clock by right-clicking on the clock -> Preferences ->Time Settings. Am I doing something wrong or is there an easy way to synchronize with a time server?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI started to use Debian Live about three months ago. I can't get snapshot to work correctly. Each time the system boots or shutdown, the system over-writes the persistent file. I'm currently have to use the live-snapshot command to make a snapshot. Make a copy of the file for a backup. Then I have to boot my system and make a copy of the backup and rename the file the correctly. Turn off my laptop (not shutdown). then restart it for the persistent to work. Must be a easier way.I have three partitions: debian-live (/dev/sdb1), live-sn(/dev/sdb2), and home-rw (/dev/sdb3) on a 8 gig usb flash drive.

I don't know why it happens, and I've skimmed the logs, but noticed nothing special. What could be the problem? What could I try? Which log should help someone find that out?

I'm resuming here (after suggestion of malcolmlewis) my problems with Bluetooth and Smeegol. May be there is out there someone able to give some advice. TIA.
My setup: Samsung N150 (Atom 450), 2Gig ram, Suse 11.3 - Smeegol 1
The problem is:
From the netbook (Samsung) i see the available bluetooth advices and can even configure them but doing file research ON that devices is not possible. I can only send files to, but not get files from there (e.g. Nokia cellphone or PB G4 running Debian). Now, i think (but not sure on this) in Smeegol the administration of bluetooth is done by the connman (as i understand a connection manager developped by the Intel Open Source Group which was responsable for Moblin as well (?) ) and so, it might be a defect. of that connection utility.
So, i installed blueman (i know from other devices i use, runs very fine and stable in Debian) but with blueman i got this error, when i tried to access the other devices by bluetooth:
Could not display "obex://[00:25:48:3A:A9:58]/". Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) Please select another viewer and try again.
Then, after suggestion of malcolmlewis, i installed bluez-hcidump and tried as root in a terminal: hcidump. The "result" was:
HCI sniffer - Bluetooth packet analyzer ver 1.42 device: hci0 snap_len: 1028 filter: 0xffffffff
and then the process froze without any additional info (even after an hour i didn't get back to the terminal prompt!).
And here, i'm out of any further idea. Might be a bug in Smeegol, as someone suggested. Would be sad (since that feature of bluetooth is pretty much essential for me, since i often use the phone to take occasional photoshots i need for my work) but good to know as well. Would be even better if there would be a workaround .

Since moving from centos 5.6 to fedora 15 a week ago I have been unable to get Last Pass firefox addon to work correctly. Those of you familiar to last pass will probably have seen the error message before in a variety of situations, namely "An error occurred while attempting to contact the server. Please check your internet connection." This error appears as soon as you log in (which it does manage to do) but instantly loses authentication - seems like the cookie expires almost instantly and therefore all saved sites/passwords require re-authentication with LP to use.
No network configuration has altered since the OS change, but F15 comes with firefox 4 rather than 3.6.x in centos. I know the last pass plugin should work with FF4 and have read suggestions about SSL/TLS version settings (which are 3.0 and 1.0 respectively) and disabling SELinx. Neither of these have made any difference.
