Ubuntu Networking :: X11vnc Not Passing Upper Case Characters?
Apr 1, 2011Using 10.04 and x11vnc I'm finding that upper case characters are being sent as lower case. I've tried multiple keyboard configurations with no success

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Keyboard Won't Type Upper-case Characters?
Mar 14, 2009Since yesterday I have been having a strange and fairly aggravating keyboard problem. For some reason I am sometimes unable to type upper-case characters. My shift key doesn't behave normally. If I type shift-C, for example, nothing happens; if I try it several times, sometimes the character will eventually appear, sometimes preceded by a ) character. What's worse, some key combinations, such as shift-I, kill the brightness on the screen. After this happens a couple of times, the mouse freezes, and only a reboot will restore it. This does not seem to be remedied by logging out of the session (either gnome or KDE) and into another session. The problem seems to affect both desktop environments.
This problem seems to be intermittent. For example, it seems to be working normally now, but about five minutes ago GNOME gave me a bug reporting window on boot and informed me that the keyboard-switcher panel applet had crashed. I have tried exciting to a console with ctrl-alt-F1 while my keyboard is behaving in this way, and have found that my keyboard does not work correctly in the console either.
I would normally use several keyboard layouts as I need to write in several languages, but I have turned them all off and reset the keyboard control panels to defaults in both environments, and I am still experiencing the problem.

Slackware :: Mkisofs -iso-level 1 Converts To Lower Case Instead Of Upper Case?
Oct 28, 2010Kernel 2.6, Slackware 12.0
mkisofs 2.01
I do 'mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt'. Only an example. When I mount image, ls outputs john_smi.txt. So it has shorten to 8.3 and translated ' ' into '_'. This is in accordance with the manual, although it doesn't say the conversion will be done.
Quote:
-iso-level level
.........................
With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, all filenames are restricted to upper case letters, numbers and the underscore (_).
...........................
However, as it did not reject the file name, it should have converted it to all upper case, it seems to me. And -iso-level 2|3 does the same thing.
Code:
root@darkstar:~# mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt
Total translation table size: 0
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0

General :: Login Password Prompt In Upper Case
Nov 12, 2010Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0 bash 3.1. I have several times tried to log into my linux box and have seen the password prompt written in upper case chars. Can this be caused by something located on the other side of my connexion? Or by malignous software resident in my hard disk?

View 5 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Case Statement Passing Multiple Arguments?
Aug 7, 2010I've started dabbling with the case statement in order to pass some option's arguments into variables. I do not think I am doing this right.
Code:
usage() {
echo "Usage: $0 [-z|--snooze] [-c|--channel] [-p|--playlist]
[-m|--message] [-v|--mpcvolume]"
[code]....
As you can see, I want to pass arguments depending on the option(s) chosen by the user; ie. --snooze, or --channel. By default, if no options are chosen, I'll display a usage message; though in the future I'll provide some sane defaults. I'd like to create a case statement to handle passing arguments to any number of options; something like:
Code:
wakethehellup.sh --snooze 20 --message 'wake up!'
and for the other arguments, it would have a default set. The case statement I provided fails with a syntax error "syntax error near unexpected token `$2'" near the '--snooze' in the statement, so I take it you can't pass a parameter in this way; but I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to pass different parameters to different options without the options being confused as parameters.
Fedora Installation :: X11vnc : Tail: Cannot Watch /tmp/x11vnc.tray.*
Jun 18, 2011By invoking x11vnc with the -gui tray option the TCL/TK GUI attempts to embed itself onto the system tray, but I encounter the error message "tail: cannot watch /tmp/x11vnc.tray.*", after the first settings dialog approved [clicked OK]. I believe that a package is still missing to be installed and this is not really a software bug. I use the XFCE version shipped along F15, and the GUI can be started but not as a docked-applet.

Mar 5, 2011I am a linux novice with root access to an Ubunutn 10 VM which i connect to via putty. I want to connect to it via a GUI from windows xp so I have tried installing x11vnc on the machine and used realvnc from the xp client I have tried to install x11vnc on the machine as follows
sudo apt-get install x11vnc vnc-java"
x11vnc -storepasswd
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT
[code]....
This seems to load ok but removes the shell prompt. I presume the server has started and is listening on the ports so i used another putty window to reconnect to my machine and ran sockstat -l and xllvnc is listening on the 2 ports. I then downloaded realvnc windows client and entered the hostname to connect If i entered just the hostname or hostname:5900 i get a timeout error but if i enter hostname:5800 i get 'connection refused' error
Ubuntu Networking :: 10.10 Reverse X11vnc Color Depth Changes?
Nov 15, 2010I have looked around and haven't had a lot of luck finding any information on this. I could be blind...but I'm not sure, haha.
I do a lot of remote support for my clients (I do PC repairs and training). I have recently starting suggesting to some of my basic users that they give Ubuntu a try. So far it has been very well received and they are loving it. The problem I am running into is that some of them use laptops in multiple places, and some use routers that are not easily configured. In each case it makes port forwarding a large pain in the behind to allow for remote access.
I have started using the X11vnc reverse connection and it has been working well, except for the fact that it is using high quality color depth (24bit I think?). I know when starting the connection from my end I can set the color depth, but is there any way to set the depth of a reverse connection?
Also, I understand that using just vnc over the Internet is not secure. I need to look into a decent guide to set up SSH tunneling for this. I don't suppose anyone knows of a good guide for 10.04 and 10.10?

Ubuntu Networking :: Network Manager Applet - Disappeared From Right Hand Upper Corner
Oct 16, 2010I have assigned ip address to laptop by editing /etc/network.interfaces. From next reboot the Network Manager Applet which was present on right hand upper corner, disappeared. I wonder why? This has happened with 9.04, 9.10 and now in 10.04. Another question is, are Network Manager settings (ip) and /etc/network/interfaces do correspond to same thing or not? As I have narrated above, since network manager applet is no more visible how to see the physical network cable connectivity status (as we do in windows xp)? (is there any other app of such kind or what?)

Jan 12, 2011I've been using Fedora 13 for a few months now on my desktop and since ethernet is not a choice I needed to use a wlan adapter. I did a little research and ended up using a Linksys WUSB54G ver. 4 which worked great (plug and play, no ndiswrapper or any other configuration required) on my wireless g network, using WEP protection. About a week ago I started looking for methods of upgrading my system because. well I just like being somewhat current.
Anyway I used a Fedora 14 Install DVD and used the upgrade option and it worked. All my settings (seem) to be exactly the same as my Fedora 13 settings were and the appearance and location of files etc. are all the same. Now, for some odd reason, to me at least, Fedora isn't showing a wlan icon in the upper right hand (by the way I'm using GNOME) corner like it used to and doesn't seem to have configured my wlan device correctly. I ran lsusb and it shows the device ID (13b1:000d) and the name (Linksys WUSB54G v4 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT2500USB]) I'd just like to get my adapter working again like it did in 13. I have kernel version 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.
Ubuntu Networking :: Message Passing Over The Network?

Its all in a local network. Do tell what would be the best way to do it!
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Router Not Passing On DNS Address?
Feb 2, 2011I'm using an ubuntu machine to route internet to my main PC. I think I finally got it working with DHCP and all, but there's still a slight problem. DNS does not work! My /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file contains the following lines:
Code:
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
[Code].....
I am currently only able to post on this forum because I copied /etc/resolv.conf from my server to my main machine. Now DNS is working. But it should update automatically, right? Currently, this isn't working.
If possible, I'd like it most if I wouldn't have to hardcode the DNS servers in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf either, but that the server would just relay the DNS adress it has gotten itself!

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Not Working In-case Of Force Shutdown?
Sep 27, 2010i'm using Ubuntu in my office. I have to report two issues with network connectivity.1. Wireless doesn't work if come back after suspend/hibernate the computer. The work around I follow is,a. Turnoff the wifi and restart the computer. (It won't shutdown. have to do force using the power button)b. Reinstall the network-manager_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb and network-manager-gnome_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.debc. Restart the computer (Again it won't shutdown. Need force.)d. Now wifi will detect the networks and shutdown works fine hereafter.2. Sometimes the wired gets disconnect frequently (thrice in 2minutes). Physical connectivity is good and working well in Windows.

Ubuntu :: Connecting Windows To Over X11vnc With Ssh?
Jul 24, 2011Im trying to get vnc working over ssh between my windows pc and ubuntu server 11.04 natty over the internet. I have setup everything and got it all running automatically at boot on ubuntu. From within the local network i can use ssvnc and connect from a 2003 server to the ubuntu machine fine. Remotely I can connect and verify password over ssh but after that it tries to start tightvnc and fails. The issues seem to be on the windows side establishing the local connection to the tunnel or something I'm not a guru and I apologize if this is a windows issue but i think its likely that its a networking problem i need to forward or open a port somewhere but i cant find any easy to understand instructions so far in getting this running
This is the output in the putty terminal after running ssvnc slightly modified ive taken out my real username and server address I use user@server:0 as the arguments for ssvnc
Code:
Looking up host "server"
Connecting to server-ip port 22
Server version: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3
We claim version: SSH-2.0-PuTTY_Release_0.60

Does anyone have any ideas why the connection fails at the point of using the tunnel? is it a problem on the ubuntu or windows side?
Ubuntu :: X11vnc Keeps Repainting After Lucid Upgrade
May 6, 2010I upgraded to Lucid yesterday. All of them solved, except this one: when I connect to my kubuntu PC from a Windows PC and launch x11vnc on the remote and TightVNC on the local, it keeps repainting the window making it unusable. Nothing gets printed to the log when the repaintings occur. Using -noxdamage or -nowf doesn't change a thing. -ncache doesn't work (I get an "ERROR: No active KDE sessions!").

May 31, 2010I'm creating a new thread based on this post by batagy:

Quote:
So I have running x11vnc as service without any problem (running on Solaris 10 and SLES10 too). I'm using the x11vnc's inbuilt "user chooser" screen (that little black screen), these command line options:
x11vnc -inetd -unixpw -users unixpw= -display WAIT:cmd=FINDCREATEDISPLAY-Xvnc.xdmcp -env X11VNC_CREATE_GEOM=1248x900 (plus a couple of other options that are not interesting here)
My question is related to the wanted VNC screen size. By default, I set the defauls screen size to 1248x900, as can be seen above.
Currently , when a user want to personalize his/her screen size to be started, he can do it this way: when the small black authentication window is appearing first, after his username, he's entering a colon, then specify the wanted resolution in this format: geom=1600x1200.
My question: is it possible somehow to set automatically the preferred screen size, without entering this ":geom=1600x1200" string in the authentication window? I mean to set it per user, without modifying the service options. I mean, for example setting the X11VNC_CREATE_GEOM or FD_GEOM variables in the user's home ".profile" for example?
