I am running a fully updated 9.10 with TightVNC. When I connect in through a TightVNC viewer, my keyboard is mapped wrong. If I type the keys: abcdefg... I get: asdfghjkl;... (the home row) I tried running this script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "" > empty.keymap
xmodmap empty.keymap
I want the system to see a certain keyboard key as if it were another key. To put an example, suppose I want each time I type 'e' the system sees 't'. Can this be done?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless keyboard with touchpad However the position of the mouse buttons is very unconfortable and so I would like to remap the mouse button to some kes on the keyboard.
I would like to use the media keys which are present on the keyboard. They are useless to me since most of the programs that I use have their own keyboard shortcuts for controls such as play, stop etc.
I mapped the keys using xev, and for instance I found that the "play" key mapped to keycode 172
by trying someting like
xmodmap -e "keycode 172 = Pointer_Button1"
nothing happens.
I have slackware 13.37-64 bit with xfce. I have a "microsoft wired keyboard 600" keyboard and want to remap it to use the right win key as ctrl. With xev i see that the keycode for the specific win key is 134.
Then i run:
Code:
But nothing changes. Even if i manually configure the .Xmodmap file in my /home i see no change at all.
I am currently using xmodmap for remapping keys like Caps Lock on my keyboard.However, my keyboard has a bunch of keys on the top that are rarely used (Multimedia keyboard with buttons like Internet, Music, Next song, Mute etc)I want to remap these keys to specific commands (Not keys).
For example: Pressing the Internet button should fire up my Firefox (/usr/bin/firefox)(which happens only in Windows for me)Also I need to map a specific button to xkill.
I have this little problem with my keyboard. When in Firefox, I have to ctrl+click a link about three times before there is any reaction and a new tab is opened with that link. There is not much chance that there is some physical impediment in the keyboard because all of my other keyboard shortcuts involving ctrl work fine, and I have disassembled and cleaned the keyboard on my netbook (eeepc 1008ha).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this crazy idea to map an em dash to AltGr+Dash, replacing the yen symbol currently produced by that key combination. Is there a way to do that?
Unless, of course, there is another way to produce an em dash with the US International keyboard? Not including OpenOffice's autocorrect feature.
I got this Dell Studio and the f keys are kind of odd.. first of all you have to press fn to even use them.. because theyve defaulted them to be things like: fast forward.. mute.. stuff like that.. and what makes it worse is f2 is a button that disables wifi.. so when i do alt-f2 out of habit it cuts my wifi off.. so i have to do fn-alt-f2 which just gets old.. my question is, what is the raw command for the RUN ? I'd like to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop which has no function keys (F1-F12), but does have a row of arbitrary keys at the top (volume control, multimedia, etc.). I've been able to remap these keys using xmodmap (e.g. 'keycode 000 = F1 NoSymbol F1'). However, this means that I lose the original function.Is there a way (using xmodmap or otherwise) to set these keys to produce a different keysym (e.g. XF86AudioRaiseVolume) only when the Super* key is pressed?* I would have preferred Fn, but it doesn't show up in xev so I'm guessing that's not possible.

When mounting a filesystem via nfs, is it possible to remap users, so that 1001 is treated as 1002 on the remote machine and vice versa? If so, which nfs parameters do I need when mounting?
I have checked several tutorial sites, to no avail. I can't seem to get Winpe 3.0 to boot over tftpd/pxe.Has anyone successful done this using Ubuntu 9.10?, or am I just wasting my time trying.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to easily make the command key function as the control key on a macbook pro in these modern times of 2011? I tried one of the command-line based tutorials and couldn't get it to work. Seeing as I have little idea as to what I was doing, I'm going to need a gui. But come Natty, nothing appears to be working. I would think that this is a common question, so I'm sure there is something simple I'm overlooking.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using a Swedish keyboard, and I want to be able to type braces easier.
I planned to map AltGr + to '}' and AltGr + to '{'. However, nothing really changes. I have some other stuff in my .Xmodmap so I know that it gets loaded allright. Here's what I have so far:
keycode 35 = slash asciitilde dead_ogonek section dead_ogonek section
keycode 49 = asciicircum onehalf
keycode 66 = F10
clear Lock

I just got my hands on an old RollerMouse from work. [URL] It's pretty neat, however I think it would be killer if I could remap the roller (which is just a mouse) to function like a two-way scroll-wheel, and maybe the buttons as special shortcuts. Does anyone know if this can be done? I figured it's not a standard part of anything, so I'll at least have to make some script or changes to a driver, but I have no idea where to start..

I think this happened after I upgraded to 10.04. Any ideas?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu10.04 installation worked great until recently. But now, this stuff happens:
--On the GNU GRUB ver 1.98-1ubuntu7 list, about half the time I can't move the highlight--no response to keyboard arrow keys, and no response to Enter key--have to wait 60-seconds for highlighted item to start.
--login box's appearance is different, like a different visual scheme/theme
--after login, the screen remains black for a long time before the desktop appears
--when desktop appears, the desktop program icons are gone
--when I launch an app, like the terminal window, it takes a long time for it to open, and after opening, it takes a long time for the prompt tyler9@tyler9-desktop to appear
--Nautilus file browser won't open. When I launch it, I get a button on panel on bottom of screen [like Windows Taskbar] that says "Starting File Browser" but the button disappears, and Nautilus doesn't open. If I enter "nautilus" in terminal window, I get "Bus error."
--Firefox is very slow; typically a delay when I click a tab, and very often, it "darkens"--takes on a darker color and won't respond to clicks. This "darkening" thing happens in other pgms and docs too
--often a long delay when I click anything--panel menu, in a doc, etc
Any ideas for troubleshooting, what the cause(s) might be? My subjective sense is that there's some process(es) running that is causing all this junk. Is there a way to "roll back" to when everything worked OK? Is there an error log or something that might specify why this is happening? [Note: It's not a HW issue--machine is dual-boot Ubuntu/Mint9, and Mint9 works fine--none of the above problems.]
Computer: Toshiba Satellite Pro L510 laptop, 10.10.This has always happened but I have gotten around it by time-out and putting my menu.list in order. When I first boot the machine (switch on for the day from computer being off) I get to the grub options to select a kernel and I have no keyboard. No up/down arrows so have to go with the kernel on top of the list (not always desirable).
When I get to the log-in screen if I hit restart and go back to the grub screen I have a keyboard and can select any kernel. If I login to the kernel I have full keyboard, no problem. If I then restart, I have keyboard at the grub list.
Nutshell: It is only when starting the computer fresh that the keyboard is dead at grub menu (and then only). Any time after that, once the computer has been switched on, if I restart I have keyboard at grub menu and can select different kernels. (Of course, if I switch the computer off and back on again, no keyboard ...)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have probably found a bug in the Ubuntu php5 package. At first I thought it's a problem with Zend Framework, which I use, then I thought it's a php issue, but now it seems to be a problem with Ubuntu's php packages. My problem is that under certain conditions, php is going to read records from the mysql database table infinite times. For a much more detailed description of the bug,[URL]..
I've tried on an x86 Ubuntu Desktop edition, and an x64 Ubuntu Server edition, both 10.04, and both had this bug. I have set up a test system (x86 Ubuntu Server edition 10.04), and compiled apache2 and php5 from source, but used the mysql-server package from the repository. And I couldn't reproduce the bug. However, after copying the self-compiled libphp5.so file from the test system to the desktop that produces the error, I could still reproduce the error on the desktop. This suggests me that the problem is either not in php, or - more probably - there are multiple php binaries used in the repository version, and therefore it doesn't matter that I've copied my libphp5.so because mysql functions are somewhere else. I've found a mysql.so file in /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs coming from the php5-mysql package. Does that have anything to do with this issue?

View 3 Replies View Relatedsince yesterday my 11.04 system behaves real strange. Firstly, i can not use any of my external storage media anymore (detachable cd-rom among them). On several devices i tried to mount, they would not appear in /media/ dir, neither could i see them in Nautilus. I know that the system does recognize them in the usual fashion as before, which i can see in system.log and for example GParted.
The other thing is i can't access my trash anymore - when clicking on it in Nautilus, i get the "Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported" message. Last obvious and weird thing was that my Ubuntu One panel personalizations i have made since installing are gone (that is adding and removing icons from there) - it is back to the "original" state which was just after installation.
I didn't notice anything else obvious - apart from the things already mentioned, system seems to work fine.The worthy of mentioning things i've done before these failures was the downloading of system updates and installing of some software (tex-base, monkeyaudio codec, DropBox; actually i've got a shadow of doubt cast on this last one, since installing it required some changes to Nautilus). I don't have any previous kernel to try to load.
Since it's been only a month of usage of ubuntu on my new machine reinstalling it wouldn't hurt me so much, but i would really fancy to find out the root of this strange behavior of the system i am experiencing.
