I have my adapter set up properly with my laptop, but the touchpad is flipping out.
Cursor jumps randomly and clicks even when I haven't clicked.
My USB mouse is not affected.
In doing my kernel-kits that allow you to create a livecd backup of your installed slackware or arch install, I came across stuff about how many x86 or x86_64 systems use a PAE kernel?
if thats so; should I release a PAE kernel kit also besides the x86 and x86_64 kernel kits for slackware/arch??
or is it not a big thing?
Can anyone run a PAE kernel or it should be a seperate build? the x86/x86_64 kits are not PAE...let me check...
Fedora is a very mature Linux OS I might have to add but a very annoying thing still with it is the support or detection of fedora of "touchpads" on laptops. Ubuntu does not detect it but Linux Mint excellently detects my touchpad on my HP Laptop.

Here's how I did it in Ubuntu 10.10:Open Applications/Accessories/TerminalType gksudo gedit in order to get editing rights to system files. The system will ask you for your password.After that, and if you have the authority, it will open the file browser with editing rights.Navigate to usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/gtk.immodulesThere is pair of lines that look just like this:"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-cedilla.so" "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gvct:sq:tr:wa" You just add :en after :wa and save the file.The two lines should now look like shown below:"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-cedilla.so" "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gvct:sq:tr:wa:en" Now exit the file browser, restart Ubuntu, and you're done.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe US-International layout in K/Ubuntu seems to be extremely irritating and difficult to use. I'm wondering if I could find some help here. One thing is if a dead key doesn't work (typing in ' + t for example) it will produce nothing in Ubuntu, as opposed to windows producing 't. I must add a space after almost every apostrophe or quotation mark, which is becoming extremely difficult, tedious, irritating and unnecessary. Also the dead keys that are available are ridiculous. The dead keys I am used to and want are:
' + [letter] = ����� � �
" + [letter] = ����� �
` + [letter] = ���� �
~ + [letter] = � � �
^ + [letter] = ���� �
Which allows one to simultaneously and smoothly type English, Dutch and German but could (to a lesser extent) be used for French. What I get:
[Code]...
Which makes 's (ś) painful, as well as the many uses for apostrophes in dutch like m'n and 'k (producing mń and ḱ respectively) etc. Considering this layout is widely used and is pretty much the de facto layout in The Netherlands whose primary languages would be Dutch and English (and some German), why has it become so difficult to use? Also, how do I fix it?
The only thing I miss about Windows is the US International keyboard setting. Is there really no equivalent in Ubuntu?
The current Ubuntu US International keyboard setting is just not the same. "whodoesitwant" explained the difference last year [URL], and it has been asked about before [URL]. Does anyone know if there are plans to implement a Windows-like keyboard setting?
This may seem petty, but it's a real nuisance if you've learned to touch type in Windows. At the moment the best I can find in Ubuntu is the US International (AltGr dead keys) layout, but it's awkward and slow using the right-hand alt key.

I foresee a possible need to set up an international video conference. I will be at one end, and people who haven't a great knowledge of these things will be at the other, with windows, I must presume. This is a once or twice off event, but there is a lot of significance attached to it.
How would I go about setting that up? I am presuming webcam + 1 microphone at each end, but I'd need a larger pic than you get with skype (in linux, at any rate). What software should I use? I can test it locally and debug the system.

I'm trying to set up a firewall using ufw. I had planned on denying all network traffic and allowing as it became a problem. I expected to need port 80 8(http) 88(https) and 1863(MSN).
I tried:
Code:
Me@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ufw enable
Firewall is active and enabled on system start up
Me@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ufw default deny
Default incoming policy changed to 'deny'
(be sure to update your rules accordingly)
Me@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ufw status
Status: active
If I have understood I should not be able to connect to the Internet now but I still can (I am posting this with these settings). I have tried rebooting and this did not help although the status was persistent. I am currently using version 9.10 of Ubuntu upgraded from 9.04 (itself from 8.10 which was a clean install). I am using a wireless network called wmaster0 with driver rt61pci if that helps. How to configure firewall?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two Ubuntu installations: a full one and a light/custom. The full one has every default package installed using the Live CD and some extra packages I've been adding as I need them, the custom one is created using debootstrap and then I add some packages: xserver, fluxbox, alsa... among others.
But I have one problem: plymouth shows a low-res splash screen for the custom installation, while it works great with the full one. Both running on the same motherboard and with the same monitor. Besides, I need to set the FRAMEBUFFER=y option in the custom installation to make plymouth show the splash screen at boot.
I've tried setting GRUB_GFXMODE, GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX for GRUB without any change, I'd like to know what other programs/drivers/configurations may affect Plymouth resolution so that I could find what is preventing my custom installation from showing a nice plymouth splash screen.
I am compiling some software (JWM) and it says that I must install the "development headers" for X11 and Xlib.My main question is, how will installing those packages affect my system.My less main question is how do I install them?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am used to using US International as my keyboard layout. However, the implementation appears to differ greatly between Windows and Linux (Gnome, in my case - may well be a GTK issue since GTK behaves the same on Windows).The layout uses dead keys, for example for keys such as ', ", ^, &c. allowing easy entry of characters with diacritics. On Windows pressing a dead key and then a key that has no pair associated results in the dead key's character (when paired with space) and the character from the second key. Example: Pressing ", a yields "ä", however, pressings yields "'s", as there is no pairing for ' and s.
Now, there is a language called English which makes frequent use of exactly those two characters and since it works on Windows to just type them as usual it's muscle memory for me now. Which brings me to my problem:On Linux (and GTK on Windows), there is a pairing for ' and s (among many others), resulting in Å› (which, in turn, leads to me frequently typing "itÅ›"). So typing "it's" requires me to type ', , s at the end.There are a few other combinations I'm used to that don't work. Among those is that for non-existant pairs simply nothing is the result. Typing "I'd" results in "I". Hitting one of those keys twice results in a non-spacing diacritic which breaks my habit of typing strings by first typing both quotation marks (which now result in a non-spacing acute accent or macron).
Long story short: None of the supplied US International layouts appears to function the same as in Windows - are there any that do work identically? Or any chance to configure it that way? While it may be nice to type an s with acute accent or non-spacing diacritics, those aren't exactly common needs for me.

If you want to test it (since so far I've only tested it on my MBP5,1 - any feedback from MacBook 5,1 / MB(P) 5,2 owners would be great too) follow these instructions: First make sure you don't have any versions of linux-backports-modules-alsa installed:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried a little C programming, and got a bunch of segmentation fault the first few tries. But from what I understand, the whole purpose of segmentation faults is the protect other programs from the damaging effects of my program. Yet, if I trigger a segfault enough times, weird things happen to my other running programs. I usually run a console inside Kate, and after 10 or so segfaults, Kate sometimes freezes or randomly highlights text, etc. just random behavior. Also, my desktop will occasionally hang and things will start failing, like copying files and such. I have to log out to restore everything to normal, but logging out is difficult since the logout prompt freezes. I have never experienced such behavior before I began programming, my system has been relatively stable. I run my program from inside Kate's console, so I was wondering if all KDE applications share memory or something, because this has happened once or twice, and only when I trigger a segfault many times.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot system on a 500GB HDD. Here is a printscreen of the partition table for the disk. It's a fairly standard set-up but the root partition is almost full (I know it's fairly unheard of but I have a lot of software provided by uni that takes up a lot of space). I would like to shrink my /home partition and increase the root one. I've downloaded gparted and got it onto a live CD. The only thing I really want to know before I go ahead is how will the editing of the partitions affect booting.
From what I can tell from reading is that the MBR has only got listed the place on the HDD where the bootable partitions start. These starting placed will not be affected by the alteration, so will the system quite happily boot in the same manner? One booted I'm assuming as the /home partition will have moved I'll need to alter fstab to mount /home again. Will having /home missing caused any adverse affects on the first boot into linux?
