Ubuntu :: Keys Won't Bind When Running Fluxbox On Xubuntu
Feb 27, 2011
i'm running fluxbox on my xubuntu 10.10. I'm just trying to set up the key file and the keys i enter will randomly not bind. Like for example:
# open a terminal
Mod1 F1 :Exec x-terminal-emulator
# open a dialog to run programs
Mod1 F2 :Exec fbrun
# filhanterare
Mod1 F3 :Exec thunar
# textredigerare
Mod1 F4 :Exec notepad
terminal, fbrun and notepad works fine but not thunar. i've tried a million different combos of keys and modifiers and it seems totally random weather it works or not. sometimes what works one minute don't after next reconfigure.
When i run the original keys-file i get this log output:
Keys: Invalid key/modifier on line 66):
I get similar outputs when i change the keys-file for other numbers too but it doesn't seem to happen for every key that doesn't work.
Bind on Fedora 14 is driving me crazy.I am getting messages when I restart BIND stating it cannot find the managed-keys.bind file but it's right where it's suppose to be, and the directory is writable.
I am using Ubuntu linux, and I want fn + up key and fn + down key to change the brightness instead on fn + F4 and fn + F5. I've tried looking for something in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu, but there is no command or key specified to do that. I could make a custom key shortcut, but I can't find the command to change the brightness. Is there a way to make another key do this? My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1545.
Is there any way to disable shortcut keys in XFCE Terminal ? I can't seem to bind the shortcut keys, and F1 especially really gets in the way for some programs. Have no clue who thought it would be a good idea to bind F1 to a stupid help screen, when many terminal programs need this. I am using fluxbox, so maybe this has something to do with it.
I have installed Preload (0.6.4-1) on Xubuntu 11.04. How do I know if it is running/working? I can't seem to find any reference to Preload in the task manager.
This is an Xubuntu install on a memory stick. I had the video working perfectly after the initial installation of Xubuntu. After I ran the updates and rebooted the system I had no video. It says ,"Server is already active for display 0, if the server is no longer running remove /tmp/.XO-lock and startup again"I looked around for a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but it does not exist. What next?
When I ps -e, I see a whole bunch of processes, many more that when I ran Slackware.Is there a list of processess I can look at to see what they are and what ones I dont need, instead of googling each one and getting some cryptic explanation?
I'm trying to get BIND running on one of our Fedora 10 servers, since we've had some issues with the DNS from our service provider. This BIND server is not authoritative for any domain, it's merely for caching purposes. I used the sample DNS file at [URL].., and modified it slightly with our internal IP addresses.
I'm getting the following errors when I do service named start:
Error in named configuration: zone localhost/IN: loading from master file master.localhost failed: file not found _default/localhost/in: file not found zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file localhost.rev failed: file not found _default/0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/in: file not found
I also tried changing the line directory "/var/named"; To the /var/named/chroot/var/named directory with the same result.
I've tried setting up BIND from a fresh install. I've followed a few tutorials (all seem to follow a similar routine), but it doesn't appear to work properly.
This is what happens when I query my domain: [URL]
This is my named.conf file:
Code: // // named.conf for Red Hat caching-nameserver // options { directory "/var/named";
[Code].....
I've compared both files to examples and they don't appear to be any different - I'm at a loss as to what is wrong or where I should start to troubleshoot it.
Struggling to get an old xubuntu box connected to the net, running 2.6.24-19-generic
If I try sudo dhclient eth0 I get Code: No DHCPOFFERS received No working leasaes in persistant database -sleeping I have tried rebooting my router to no avail. My other box is connecting fine.
I'm thinking about installing a DNS server on Fedora 13 running bind. I looked around for available bind packages and found only these:
Now the first one contains bind utils the second one is for running DNS in a chroot env and the last one is a bind with some DB backend.
Does this mean that fedora 13 doesn't support/.provide "standard" bind server (I mean the one to run without chroot/without db backend) ? Or am I missing anything in my repolist which is :
i'm trying to get a bind server up and running on my opensuse installation but I'm having some slight problems, I've been looking for a solution to what is probably a silly problem for quite a while so I decided to come here.
I want to run this command on startup. xmodmap /etc/xmodmap I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and need to remap keys. It only seems to work when I run it in terminal after I login.
I am configuring bind9 on fedora 9(sulphur).I have configured /etc/named.conf and created zone file in /var/named/I have started the service but when I am executing the command nslookup mydomain.com it is not able to resolve the name.Another problem I am facing when I do telnet localhost 53,I am able to connect.but when I do telnet myip 53 it does not connect.Seems to be a firewall problem but I ve disabled iptables selinux completely even I ve disabled dnsmasq but still not working.
I was thinking of creating an extremely minimal version of Xubuntu using XFCE. I have a Dell Mini 9, a netbook that uses a wireless-g card requiring bcmwl-kernel-source to work.What I would like to do is use either the alternate CD or mini.iso minimal install file to perform a command line install-style installation of the system.So far, what I am thinking (from reading this [url].... article:
HTML Code:
http:[url].....is to start off with these packages to begin with:
xorg slim (if possible with 9.10, unsure if it is still available. in short, i want to use a lightweight display manager) xfce4 xfce4-goodies xubuntu-default-settings bcmwl-kernel-source aptitude
My opening questions are: Should I go with mini.iso or the Xubuntu Alternate Install CD (or the Ubuntu one)? If so, which one? What additional packages will I need to make the hardware accessible and fully functional? All I can think of so far would be sound (I'd like to stay away from PulseAudio if possible, it wreaks havoc with my computer), my webcam, and the memory card slot, if additional packages are needed for it?What other "core" packages should I include in this list? Should I include Synaptic, or other packages, and why?What do I need to take into consideration, since this is both a directly- and battery-powered computer?

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?
i installed Xubuntu on my system having a dual boot with Xubuntu and windows xp but when i select to boot on Xubuntu it freezes and gets a message saying that the file hal.dll in system32 cant be found. Before showing me this message i tryed to uninstall the Xubuntu inside from windows xp because several problems showed up after installing Xubuntu. I can boot on windows xp but i cant boot to xubuntu and cant uninstall xubuntu.
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've seen people do this but I don't know how, and I can't find much in any fluxbox docs or the man page for fluxbox. I am using Thunar. Does anyone know how I can add desktop icons to fluxbox?
I am running Ubuntu 10.04. I have been using fluxbox for a loooong time, but just recently decided it would be cute to have some desktop icons and such. It looks like fbdesk is supposed to do exactly what i want. I installed the package, set up a rudimentary fbdesk.icons file and ran fbdesk from a terminal. It looks like it should be running just fine, but no icons! I also tried going w/o an icons file to get it to spit out the default icon, but also nothing.
I'm currently using the Lubuntu 10.10 LiveCD and all seems well so I may well install it. As I am a big fan of fluxbox I was wondering if this could be installed as a secondary desktop manager should I want to use it as an alternative to lxde?
Whenever I set a new wallpaper on Fluxbox with feh, it goes away as soon as I log out and log back in. It is probably relevant to say that my login wallpaper just so happens to be the same one that Fluxbox automatically switches to when it logs in, which I changed (somehow, can't remember how).
I wanted to know if it's possible to add the Fluxbox-menu to Ubuntu 11.04 Unity Desktop (or similar), because I love the menu from Fluxbox but don't want to give up the Unity Desktop of Ubuntu 11.04. Is there a Option to implement it? Or a similar Program which does the same? Or is it simply not possible?
well you might have noticed that ubuntu 10.04 comes with some crappy purple background on gdm, well my problem is that when i start fluxbox it keeps that background as wallpaper even when i put fbsetbg code on startup to change it, even i put a delay to wait like 3 seconds and still the background is the one on GDM.
I just installed fluxbox recently I'm trying to install some new themes and stuff. The problem is: When I change my gtk theme is changes it on GNOME as well. Is it possible to stop this from happening at alll?
