Ubuntu Networking :: Bizarre VNC In 10.10 - Unable To Click Sidebar?
Nov 2, 2010
Got a really strange one here. Can connect fine to my 10.10 Netbook Remix desktop over OpenSSH & x11VNC.However, I cannot left-click on the sidebar (Unity). For example, if I click on one of the icons (say Firefox), nothing happens. Clicking anywhere else on the desktop is fine.
Clicking on the sidebar icons when at the netbook is fine. Furthermore, over VNC I can click on one of the sidebar icons and drag it, but can't click to open!

Just done a yum update and emacs's fonts seem very strange. Additionally all "" characters are displayed as a bizarre horizontally barred "W". Edit: I think it's nothing to do with emacs but with the fonts update. The default fonts are now "Baemuk Gulin", by changing them (SHIFT-LEFT_MOUSE) to, eg, Arial I can display things correctly. But I think the times fonts are now missing. Very strange.

Problem with this bizarre Wifi problem. I have searched and searched and cannot find a solutions. Unfortunately this affects 3 computers in my household. And as the resident amateur Linux tech support/Linux advocate, I will be held responsible if I don't figure out how to fix this quick. After some extensive playing around, this is the situation. I have this problem on Ubuntu 9.10, Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu 10.04) and PC Linux OS 2010.:
- About a week ago the wireless network I use stopped working. There was a major power failure on our block during this period. No idea if there was a connection. Since then, I have been able to connect, but I am no longer able to access the internet. I can ping my own IP and my router, but no website (niether by IP not URL).
- When I booted my computer in Windows, it connected to the internet. My neighbours (whose network I am using) are also windows users, and are able to access the internet without problems.
- I have found exactly the same problem on my wife's laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 and on a Live CD of PC Linux OS 2010
- I am still able to log into all other wireless networks without problems.
I am perplexed. Is it possible for a wireless network to prevent internet access to linux computers? And inadvertently? I tried disabling IPv6 (which wasn't being used anyhow), but this didn't make a difference. I also tried manually entering an IP address and other network details into the network settings.

I have a dual-boot Compaq CQ60-420US laptop. It can connect wirelessly in Vista without a problem. I have not yet figured out how to connect it wirelessly in Ubuntu (10.04, Lucid), but that's not the problem here. The problem here is on the wired side. Whether I boot in Vista or Ubuntu, I cannot get it to go online. Ubuntu says that the Auto eth2 connection is established; I am able to disconnect and reconnect it normally; but I can't download updates and Firefox can't connect to CNN.com. Likewise, in Vista, diagnostics find no problem; everything seems to be fine; but no connection.
I thought the problem might be the laptop's ethernet port, so I bought a Trendnet TU2-ET100 USB-to-Ethernet adapter. It comes highly recommended; it seems to have installed successfully in Vista; it appears properly in Vista's Network Connections; its lights are blinking appropriately; and Ubuntu tells me that my Auto eth2 connection is established when I connect through that adapter. And yet still no connection to CNN.com and no downloads of updates in either OS.
I wondered if some other circuitry might be at issue, so I sent the laptop back to HP. They claim to have replaced the mobo. The symptoms remain unchanged before and after. I went through an extensive tech support call with HP. The last thing their technician could advise was to power cycle the laptop and router. The ethernet connection itself is good. I can unplug the cable from the laptop's ethernet port or the Trendnet unit, plug it into the desktop computer on which I am typing this note, and I'm connected with no problem.
I thought, well, maybe I have to have the laptop's wireless button on, even when I want to connect via wire, but that hasn't made a difference. I tried installing Windows drivers from the Trendnet website instead of from the CD; no joy. I suspect you will be as stumped as I am. I have gone through a lot of other people's comments. At this point, I am just interested in general possibilities. What, in theory, could be causing this?

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on my workstation and have Ubuntu Server 10.10 installed on a HP Proliant MicroServer. A NFS share is configured on the MicroServer and successfully mounts from workstation PC/ Ubuntu 10.10 The issues: Copying files to an NFS share on the microserver is very, very slow. Whilst files copied to the NFS share are visible to the workstation, they don't appear when using 'ls' on the server. despite the folder owner/ user account on the Microserver and the workstation having the same name and sharing the same UID & GID (1000), copies made from the workstation have a different UID & GID

I try to configure mouse click interval since a single click is recognized as double click by doing it from KDE mouse configuration in system settings; but my attempt doesn't work even (I set the click interval to 2 sec, but doesn't change anything). What is the best way to do this in slackware?

know how to explain this, but I'll try to the best I can. I installed from wubi, so I don't know if that matters, but here goes.
When I'm using ubuntu, I'm unable to click on any windows/elements outside of my current window, or use the close/minimize/maximize buttons. For example right now, in firefox, I am unable to use either of the taskbars or minimize the window. I can't click any of the icons on the desktop or anything, either, and if a page triggers a popup, I can't do anything with it. The thing is, though, interestingly, unplugging and replugging my USB mouse fixes it until I click on something again. I have no clue if it's a driver issue, a hardware issue (my mouse works fine on windows, though), or just a misconfiguration in the OS somewhere.

I am running 64 bit Arch Linux with fluxbox, chromium, ATI Radeon HD 4650 (xf86-video-ati), and flashplugin-prerelease (flash-square from AUR). Flash has worked great for weeks but all of the sudden started getting laggy in fullscreen. The odd thing is that if I make the video "pop out" and manually enlarge the window to full screen it runs great. I have tried installing firefox and testing in there but this makes no difference; I likewise tried installing catalyst which only made flash crash every time I hit full screen. I have also tried uninstalling flash and joining the html5 trial on .....; the videos do the same thing and get laggy the moment I hit full screen (but not when manually edited).
It seems to me that the issue may be with my video card. I can not think of anything that I was doing during this time period that may have caused this sudden problem [URL].. - the packages that have been upgraded today).

Just installed Slackware 13.1 and I'm trying to disable tap to click on my touchpad. When I run "synclient MaxTapTime=0" it turns off. But the next time I restart X, the settings won't hold. I tried putting Option "MaxTapTime" "0" in xorg.conf, but it didn't work. This is my mouse portion from xorg.conf generated from the nvidia driver from slackbuilds.
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"

this morning after a reboot I made a discover. Clicking on tabs, launching applications, and so on, make annoying and stupid sounds from my speakers. CLICK, BOP, BLAP! Who decided to turn these things on? I'm listening MUSIC, I don't wanna those stupid sounds bother me! Anyway, I was suddendly on System -> Preferences -> Sound and I choosed Sound Theme: NO SOUND. But those annoying sounds are already there. And there's no way to disable them! Is this a BUG or what? Is there something to do?
I also discovered another thing: clicking on items that are at RIGHT of my screen, the sound come from RIGHT. Clicking on center, they come from center. Right, right. So I realize that sounds are stereophonic. And really I can't understand why a software developer choosed to waste his time coding a piece of code to do this, instead of solving the hundred millions of bugs we're affected from YEARS.

I was using my old computer with ubuntu on it a few minutes ago, and when I loaded up firefox... All of a sudden the pac-man music started playing. There wasn't anything else open that could have caused that, and not even any other tabs up... It sounds like something a virus might do, but Linux is extremely resistant to that sort of thing.. Firefox works fine on my windows rig, so what the heck is going on?EDIT: I turned off javascript, and the noises stopped. But what javascript on firefox could be doing that, and why is it only on my linux?

I am currently using Debian 8.1 64bit with openbox as a WM. I have multi arch enabled. I remember also having this problem with Debian 7. I use nvidia graphics drivers over the nouveau as I would like the hardware acceleration. I have had this problem with two different "gaming" mice. But the mouse I am currently using is a Corsair M65 Gaming Mouse.
Code: Select all$ egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices | egrep -B1 'Handlers.*mouse'
N: Name="Corsair Corsair M65 Gaming Mouse"
H: Handlers=mouse0 event16
The matter of hand is about once a week my mouse tends to misbehave. I can move the mouse around but I cannot click on any windows or select any options by clicking. I cannot even right click on the desktop! I have tried starting X in another tty and the issue tends to persist shortly after starting X. The weird part is other days of the week the mouse works completely fine.
Having this problem in the first place, I have a snoop around and I learnt that I needed to create a config file for the mouse.
I have created a file in: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d named 50-vmmouse.conf with the contents of:
Code: Select all# Corsair Mouse
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Mouse Remap"
MatchProduct "Corsair Corsair M65 Gaming Mouse"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24"
EndSection
[Code]....
I have also tried putting the same data into an xorg.conf file, but alas the problem still exists.
Just to note, I have not tried using a basic mouse for a week, so I cannot pass any data on that. But I prefer the issue to be resolved with the mouse I enjoy using.
This is really frustrating as it stops me from using my system properly, the only solution tends to be to restart the machine. It would be nice for my mouse to work 100% of the time knowing it'll work.
Mouse misbehaves about once a week, tried different config files but no avail.

I wanted to create another panel on my computer. I created one, which formed directly above one that I already had (at the bottom of one of my two screens). Just out of curiosity I asked it to autohide. That was a big mistake. Now, I am unable to right click to remove or change the panel (the right click menu doesn't appear). This is true for all my panels. I thought logging out might fix it. No luck. Restart. No luck. Now my "top level" panel won't load, which means I don't have access to any of the main menus at all. Basically, the only think I can access at this point is what is on my desktop.

On a site, I ctrl tab through a bunch of tabs, (6-30), but it seems to not be able to click the button until the visual has loaded completely, which means staying on that tab for about a second, slowing me down massivly. On windows, it counts it as clicked even if it hasnt loaded the visual yet.

I'm writing a parser using lex and yacc for an IEEE standard language ( STIL ). Here's the lex file ( some of ).
[Code]....
stil_language is the start symbol. The bus variable is initialised at 0 ( There's a check in the main ). The problem is that the parser does not recognises the NUM token ! It just re writes any expression that corresponds to the "number" regular expression. Here's a prompt example :

Im having a rather bizarre problem with the gnome panel in ubuntu 11.04. When i go to places and try to home folder, desktop, etc with a mouse click, Nautilus does not open. Instead a really old looking program called textedit opens. The only thing that doesnt cause textedit to open is clicking on computer.

When I try and connect to a VNC session from KRDC; and I am prompted for a password, the keyboard just decides to stop working. I can't type anything into the password prompt... Then the keyboard stops working for all other open applications (Firefox etc.). If I close KRDC, it starts working again... Is this a bug? Has anyone else seen this?

Well, either it's bizarre or I'm going crazy. Here is a student's very simple linked-list implementation.
The problem is simply that when the list class is named "link", g++ complains:

I do have internet cause I am using it on W7. The only thing that I have done different is I left the pc on over night so I guess it went to suspend for the first time. Then I powered off. After turning the pc back on and logging in I have no internet. Not even with the Ethernet plugged directly in. There is supposed to be a little blue light on when it sees the wireless and that is off. When I click on the networking icon in the system tray it says networking disabled. It shows no wireless. When I plug directly in I still get nothing. I'm using 10.04

I've been searching all over ubuntu-land the last two hours for anything about configuring Unity and I'm coming up a little short. Can anybody point me to some documentation that I may have missed?
I figured out how to pin apps to the sidebar, but I'd like to configure the "Favorites" folders and just see what other options can be customized.
I would have thought right-clicking (anywhere) would have helped, but I get nowhere.

The left sidebar has been annoying me since the must recent Ubuntu update for Ubuntu Netbook 10.10(?) and I want to know if its possible to remove the darn thing and go back to the old view (or just remove it in general). Is this possible without reverting to Ubuntu 10.04? And if not, can someone tell me how to revert to Ubuntu 10.04? A picture of the sidebar I want removed is attached.

I am running SLI on quad nvidia gpus so maybe this is a driver issue??

I'm newish to the forum, but have been using ubuntu for the past few months.I recently upgraded from eeebuntu (a 9.04 derivative) to 10.04, and found that two finger tapping my touchpad has gone from middle click to right click, (and 3 fingers is now middle instead of right).
From what I've seen, this has been changed since 9.10, but I haven't been able to find a permanent solution yet. Most fixes have been from before and use hal, or other things that don't exist anymore. The one thing I've found does work is using xinput and the command
Code:
xinput set-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" "Synaptics Tap Action" 2, 3, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3
But that has to be run every time I start up, and it occasionally reverts while I'm using the computer. I've tried making a script that runs at startup, but neither adding it to the list of startup programs, or autostart folder has worked, but running the script file manually does work. I'm a bit at wits end with this, it's the only issue I've had with 10.04, and I've spent many many hours trying to get it to work (I've also tried gsynaptics and the newer version whose name escapes me right now). Hopefully there's a permanent fix out there.

I am new to this forum and have recently switched to Ubuntu. The OS installed without a hitch and was able to get video card, wireless internet installed with relative ease. However, I have encountered a problem installing my E-mu 0404 PCI sound card via the ALSA packages in Synaptic.
Code: 04:03.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value [1102:0008] As you can see once the packages were installed the OS could see the hardware ok, but when I tried playing a standard MP3 file (16 bit, 44.1khz, 192kbps) in Totem it started playing the file back around 15-20% faster than normal? To me it sounds as if the software is playing the audio back at higher sample rate than 44.1khz hence the faster speed, though I'm not 100% on that.
The next thing I tried was playing the same file back in VLC and it was exactly the same (15-20% too fast), but this time it was horrible and glitchy as well, almost as if the audio buffer size was set to small. The same thing happened when I tried playing back some flac and wav files (all 16 bit, 44.1khz) also. I have searched google (and read the comprehensive sound card guide on this forum) and read several forums, guides, etc. for anybody posting the same issue with this particular card but could find nothing. From all reports I've read this card should work fine under ALSA. For the record I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit kernel running on a Dell Dimension 9200 (Intel Core2Duo E6400 2.13ghz) with 2GB RAM.

About a week ago I installed some updates. What they were I don't remember. After I did that my mouse started acting up. Now about half the time when I single click it registers as a double click. Also when I click and drag to select text anywhere it'll randomly do another click screwing up that process.
So far I think the problem is when I press the left mouse button it registers the left click and then when I release, it randomly registers another left click.
The mouse itself works fine if I take it to another PC that's using windows.
OS: Ubuntu 9.10 64bit
Mouse: Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0
