For some reason, gnome-terminal, terminator, mrxvt, rxvt, tilda and a few other terminal applications I downloaded are unable to register the 'a' key on my keyboard. However, every other application is able to register my keypresses perfectly. Does anybody know what might be causing this, or what logs/diagnostic tools I could use to find out the reason for this odd behavior?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed matlab and after some poking around found that you must start it using a script like:
#>> cd ~root/../matlab2009/bin/
#>>./matlab
the manual tells me that the installation should have made it so that all you have to do is type matlab at the terminal but for some reason this hasn't happened. If you did not set up symbolic links in the installation procedure, you must enter the full path name to start MATLAB, matlabroot/bin/matlab, where matlabroot is the name of the folder in which you installed MATLAB. I've also looked at documentation on ln but most refers to making links between files. Is there a way to link the command "matlab" to the file shown above so all I have to do is type the command and it runs the script?
p.s: Here's what I've tried:
#>> ln -s ~root/../matlab2009/bin/matlab matlab
linux-2fs6:/home/alex # matlab
If 'matlab' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf matlab
The problem I have is that I am not able to get ANY of my Emulators to work in Ubuntu.
I have been trying for months now, but there isn't a single reliable emulator that works on Ubuntu.
There always seems to be problems with lagging, and sound issues that never seem to get resolved.
This is beyond frustrating because Gaming is the one thing i need to have on my computer, yet it is the only thing I'm not able to get working.
Do any of you know of any alternative suggestions to fix this problem?
I have tried EVERY available emulator for both Windows (Used on Wine) and Ubuntu.
Is there some kind of general setting for Wine that I am overlooking?

Looking at building a system that basically just runs emulators (nes, snes, etc). Haven't messed around with linux for a couple years so I thought this might be a great project to get back into it with. Maybe.
Questions I have-
- How easy is it to have a linux installation that just boots directly into the emulator? Since it will be hooked up to a tv, I just want it to be as easy as turning on the power button and then I'm off.
- Is there a stripped down linux distro that would be best suited for this type of setup? Really any recommendations for a distro would be great.
- Its running on old hardware- 900mhz athlon, 512mb ram, geforce2 video. Will this be a problem if I'm trying to run something like i've described?
Just tried and failed miserably to get an Nvidia 6200 based graphics card to play nice with my machine.After putting my ATI Radeon 9200 back in the box, my emulators have gone all kinds of strange.
ZSNES will crash as soon as I attempt to load a game full screen and will leave the screen resolution at the resolution ZSNES was running in (800 x 600, for example.GENS again will alter the screen resolution to whatever it was running in when the emulator is minimised. I'm running 10.10 with 1gb Ram, 128mb ATI Radeon card, P4 3ghz. Was all fine until I tried the new card and I did a fresh install only last week .
Just wondering if there were any NES, SNES, etc emulators compatable with PowerPC Debian?
Not entirely sure if they will run well, but can't hurt to give it a try.

I try to implement thumbnails for files from a Wine program in order to integrate it better in Ubuntu. The Program is Sketchup which creates *.skp files in a binary format, but I found a ruby script that can extract the thumbnail (*.png). Now I wanted to register it in the gnome configuration according to the following instruction:[URL].. It works perfect if I execute the script manually (package ruby installed, script is executable):
Code:
ruby ~/.wine/skp-thumbnailer.rb /home/user/test.skp /home/user/test.png Creates successfully a thumbnail test.png from the file test.skp. With the following commands, I registered the script, but it doesn't create thumbnails automatically:
Code:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@wine-extension-skp/enable --type=bool true
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@wine-extension-skp/command --type=string "ruby ~/.wine/skp-thumbnailer.rb %i %o"
Now my question is how to find the mistake. Do I need to copy the script into /usr/bin ? Apart from that, would it be possible to create it as a shell script (without ruby requirement)? If I knew how to translate it into .sh, I would prefer that.
Been a long time since I was on ubuntu again. Saw the new 9.10 version and decided I should take it up again. Only problem is, and I've come across it quite alot, (but never a working solution). That my ctrl key isn't doing anything at all, therefor making every keyboard shortcut (copy/paste/new tab in firefox...etc) not working.

Operating System: Ubuntu 11.04 w/ Unity-2D
I had serveral custom url-handlers setup using gconftool-2 in my old Ubuntu 10.10 setup, but now after reinstalling and updating to Ubuntu 11.04 I can't get a single one to work with Chrome (11.0.696.57) nor other browsers like Midori.
The only solution was to switch to Firefox and setup them manually using network.protocol-handler*
It seems (on the surface) that Chrome insists on opening the links with xdg-open (and if I remember correctly in Ubuntu 10.10 Chrome said it opened the links using the apps set in gconf), but xdg-open only supports the most common http* and ftp* does it not? - Just learned that xdg-open is the default handler for all urls.
I've tried everything, including searching through Chrome's config files, reinstalling Chrome, and tested changing the paths to my apps - but without any luck.
Note that I'm talking about links in Google Chrome, Firefox on the other hand doesn't even check the url-handlers so I had to set them up manually using about:config > network.protocol-handler*
So they work in Firefox when added, but in no other browsers.
Google Chrome opens the links with xdg-open [url] as depicted in the attacheds screenshot, but this throws in error, found in .xsession-errors:
Code:
gvfs-open: svtrip://example.com/: error opening location: The specified location is not supported
I've been struggling this morning trying to associate an application with a custom protocol, namely emacsclient and org-protocol.
I'm calling this protocol from a webbrowser bookmarklet, and I get the following behaviour :
In chromium, the "Launch Application" dialog comes up, and calls xdg-open org-protocol://... which ends up firing a new chromium frame.
In firefox, I've tried setting network.protocol-handler.app.org-protocol to an empty string or my emacsclient path, anyhow I get the following error message : "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (org-protocol) isn't associated with any program" without even showing any external application selection dialog.
I'm not using any desktop environment, so I need to make this work strictly with xdg, however, despite reading the shared mime info spec etc, I still can't fathom a working configuration.

I was originally going to install debian on this old iMac G4 and everything was going well. But then I decided, hey wait one second, I could probably find a version of Ubuntu which works on this old iMac, and so... i stopped the installation and loaded the ubuntu 8.04 disc. The only problem is, it will no longer register the boot CD... because i kind of already did the partitioning and nuked the OS X... So now I just see a gray screen with a file image displayed revolving between a question mark and the file finder image.

I installed Ubuntu a couple of months ago using the Wubi installer.Today, I went to restart my PC, but soon after hitting 'Restart' the computer became unresponsive. I couldn't get any keyboard/mouse input to register on screen, so I did a force shut down by holding down the power button. When I turned the computer back on, I selected Ubuntu from the boot menu. The computer printed some messages that passed by relatively quickly so I'm not sure exactly what they said, but it was something along the lines of "NTFS3: wubibuilder failed to load", and then it went straight back to the boot menu. Tried again and again with no success, so I loaded my Windows 7 install to investigate from there. I found a link to Explore2fs on these forums, so I loaded it up, but it apparently can't locate my Ubuntu partition, or at least I don't see my files. I ran the Wubi installer again to see what it would say, and it tells me that a previous installation was detected, and gives me the option to uninstall. Does anyone have an idea of what went wrong,
