Ubuntu :: Xmonad Is Failing To Respond
May 13, 2011
I'm running Xmonad and just recently it has stopped responding. None of my shortcuts are working at all. So I deleted my ~/.xmonad/xmoand.hs file, and still no luck. So I decided to log in as root and Xmonad works perfectly. Anyone know why Xmonad isn't working under my normal user? Is there a button i accidently pressed turning off the mod key?I was just browsing the web, then after I closed my browser nothing has been working, even after reboot.

I'm trying to run xmonad, but the hot key alt+****+enter is not giving me the terminal.Is it because I haven't installed xterm?Right now I can't do anything on my machine because I cannot access terminal.I always boot to SLiM, and from there enter xmonad.By the way I'm running arch, I would post on the arch forums but I can't sign up since I need the terminal to run a verification code type thing

recently added xmonad and seems pretty fun! was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to add keybindings that don't start with the modmask key..reason needed is that i want to have the win key to be the modmask and then need shift+alt to switch between two languages. So far I've "hacked" it by writing a script that switches between the two languages whenever it runs, and I've bound that to modmask + shift however this causes problems whenever I press modmask + shift for other shortcuts...
Also, how do you make keybindings work for different languages.. effectively what I need is identify each key as a key rather than as a character.

I have a dual monitor setup with Kubuntu (lucid lynx). I followed xmonad guide for disabling greedy view behavior. Here is my xmonad.hs. Am I doing something wrong ?
Code:
import XMonad
import System.Exit
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import qualified Data.Map as M
import XMonad.Util.Run
[Code]...

Xmonad noob here: I would like to set the mod key to win + alt instead of just alt or win. I've googled extensively, but can't find anything that's straight forward.

I have a dual-screen setup, with xmonad as my window manager. Using mod+tab lets me switch between windows on the same screen, but how do I move focus from one screen to the other without using the mouse?

I have been having some trouble using the Esperanto locale in Xmonad for sometime. I used this locale mainly in the terminal, because obviously Xmonad is a tiling WM and doesnt need a specific locale itself. I found that Esperanto locale prevents Xmonad from starting, but that if the LANG locale is exported after Xmonad is already started, it will turn my xterminal into an Esperanto terminal. Thus opening mutt mail will show Esperanto-Mutt, and for instance "command not found" becomes "komando ne trovita". I enjoy seeing this.
So the trick then is running "export LANG="eo.utf8"" just after xmonad loads before any other programs are run. I tried various things, and now wonder is it possible to just have the terminal itself running it its own locale? I could run this manually in every terminal, but wonder about automating it. I use the Xfce4-Terminal.
I tried .bash_profile, .xinitrc, .bashrc, and I tried adding the export to a bash script set to run by xmonad after it starts up. None of these cause the desired effect. I also notice it is temporary. If I open a terminal and do the export, that terminal is Esperantized. If I open a new terminal it is back to english.
Another thing I noticed is that after xmonad starts, if I manually add the export to .bashrc, all the terminals are in Esperanto. So I am thinking of making a script that does a find and replace of the .bashrc to add the export. Its tricky, some kind of sed-grep action. Another idea would be to put the .bashrc in a weird location so it isnt found on startup. Then make a command to symlink to it in the user folder after Xmonad starts. The main Slackware system would be English locale in order to prevent Xmonad from barfing on startup.

I got myself into some trouble this afternoon when I thought I would give xmonad a try on my HP mini 210 that runs f14 lxde spin. so, after installing xmonad and dmenu and playig around a bit I found out that my wifi doesn't work. I tried ifup but I get the 'usage: .." response which I have read means that the programm can't find a configuration file for the device (and I am pretty sure that some programm was managing these files for me up until now).
I have tried to run system-config-network, which defaults to the tui version for some reason, I guess at this point that the normal gui is based on the gnome backend or something? Anyway, the terminal version just outputs a bunch of info about the devices that exist on the system (eth1 the broadcom wifi device is also listed) and then exits.
Anyway, in the normal lxde desktop you could use the gnome network manager, I guess this is not the case when running xmonad. So how do I do this? Links to documentation are welcomed. EDIT: some info about how I get to xmonad, the machine uses the standard LXDM login and from there I just select the xnomad window manger before logging in. I mean I am not trying to use it on top of anything else (eg. xmonad/gnome or xmonad/lxde etc.)

I've been trying to get Xmonad installed and keep running into dependency installation issues. So far, I've used slackbuilds to get everything I need for Xmonad. (I'm pretty new to linux still, but as far as I know, having 64bit slack shouldn't be an issue in running 32bit applications?)
I have-
ghc-6.12.1
haskell-mtl
The main issue I've had thus far is with the Haskell-X11 (1.5.0.0) dependency, I downloaded the slackbuild:

I originally attempted to compile and install xmonad package by package, and the end result was this:
Code:
$ xmonad /home/adx/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 8 I figured I left out a flag on the make file or something, so I tried the slackbuild packages next; however, the same error was present at launch.

I'm having some weird problems with my mouse and keyboard. I'll be moving the mouse and keyboard about and all of a sudden the keyboard won't respond and the mouse moves and is fully working, but it seems to be a problem with the desktop, more then the mouse, because it'll highlight stuff and certain stuff will open when I click them, but when I go down to the toolbar, and try to click applications, places, and system, it'll highlight it but not respond when I click it. This happens about every 45 Minutes, to 1 hour of time with ubuntu running [10.04] [Additional details]
- I'm using an HP Pavilion Dv6000 Laptop, 64 Bit Ubuntu 10.04
- My drivers are all up to date
- Could it be because my Laptop gets really hot? But it dosen't happen ever when I'm running Windows, so I'm not so sure about that.

I've been scouring the message boards and trying different things for two days and haven't found a solution. I set up Ubuntu 10.04.1 a few days ago using the server iso and selected the LAMP installation option. I will be using it as a sandbox to try out things from a PHP/MySQL book I purchased.
I have installed Gnome since sometimes I just can't get the command prompt to let me do things and Gnome may at least tell me why. I also installed PHPMyadmin.
My problem is that I can work with this thing all I want in any way I want - HTTP, SSH, SFTP, etc. - from within my home network but Apache refuses to respond to an outside request. Since it's only a test box it usually wouldn't be that big of a deal but I am going out of town for a couple of days and would really like to start working with my new book.
I am 99% sure my ISP is not blocking any ports. I have a ComTrend ADSL modem with router. I have given my Apache server a static IP on the NAT (xxx.xxx.x.101) and set up a dyndns address so I don't have to keep remembering the IP address.
Here is what I have tried so far: Setup a virtual server (port forwarding) on the router to to direct traffic on port 80 to internal IP .101The router told me its interface is using 80 so it would move itself to 8080 Made sure to also add port trigger for port 80 Made sure to save/reset the router Used my iPhone to connect via 3G - didn't work using IP or dyndns name Used iPhone to connect to 8080 and router responded
Set port forwarding/triggering for 8080 -> 80. No joy there, either Tried changing listening port to 8000Set port forwarding and triggering to allow port 8000 Changed ports.conf to read NameVirtualHost *:8000 and Listen 8000 Changed first line of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default to <VirtualHost *:8000> Restarted Apache service
Apache responded to dyndns.com:8000 from home machine No response when trying same on iPhone (sorry, it's the easiest way for me to test from outside my home network)
At one point, I added "ServerName localhost" to the otherwise empty httpd.conf file but that didn't seem to do a darn thing.
Many of the posts I have perused are at least a couple of years old and have included information on taking action with files that are not there or are no longer where they were. I have interpolated where I can but so far nothing has worked.

I just setup Ubuntu 10.04, and immediately installed OpenSSH using synaptic. I edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file e.g. no password authentication, non-standard port, etc. Using /etc/init.d/ssh restart I restarted the daemon, and everything worked perfectly. However, now it's almost like there is a lock on my service somehow. I edited the config file and added "PrintMotd no" and "Banner none". I killed all my active ssh sessions, restarted, and still saw the motd and the banner.
I then tried sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop. The script reported ok, but netstat reported sshd as still listening on the port I had defined. I could still login. At this point, I don't know what else to do. I have tried looking at auth.log, I don't see anything funny there. I tried rebooting, and the config changes are (apparently) not loaded, I still see the motd upon ssh login. This is a totally clean system so I don't know what I am doing improperly.

I have two servers, both running Ubuntu 11.04 Server. One is a web server, running only a LAMP stack and openssh-server. The other is running server daemons for TeamSpeak and Minecraft. Today, the game server just went down. I can access the LAN by using SSH to connect to the web server, and ping it from there. However, it won't respond to SSH or anything else. The server is a few kilometers from here, so I will be going there tomorrow.
This happened once before, probably about a month ago or something. That time, the web server was running just fine, but the game server was powered off. I thought there had been a power disruption, because when I checked the BIOS settings of the game server, it wasn't set to resume after AC power loss. The web server was set to do this, so it made sense that it would be up and running again after a brief power loss. There were also some news reports about power disruptions in my area.
The thing is, I changed the BIOS settings of the game server to make sure this wouldn't happen again. When I go there tomorrow, I will bring the server back up. However, I would like to know what caused this so that I may prevent it from occurring again. Is there a logfile or something that I can check tomorrow to find the problem?

I am trying to get a server to boot off the lan (pxe). I added a tftp server and tested it as operating successfully. I just plugged the pxe-server in and see the dhcp request/response as expected. The pxe-server then sends out an arp to the same address as the dhcp exchange, but the server never responds.
1. as the pxe-server already has info on the mac/ip-addr, why is it now sending another arp
2. why doesn't the server respond? I have most of my network setup the same way and the dhcp exchange is fine.
3. I'm guessing that the arp is triggered by the bootp exchange (next-server).
I do not have the server in the host table under that address.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ubuntu-desktop
192.168.5.101 windows1
Do I need to add 192.168.5.120 with a name to get arp to respond?

I changed my password in the last few days using passwd. I still haven't gotten used to typing the new one, and entered the old one by accident to unlock the screen saver. I've been able to do this a bunch of times, and I'm quite sure it will still take the old password.This seems to be a serious security issue, and I'm not sure where I should raise this. I hope this is the right forum.I am using Ubuntu 10.04.$ uname -aLinux thunder 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:26:08 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux$ gnome-screensaver --versiongnome-screensaver 2.30.0

My Thinkpad R32 keyboard & trackpad will not work when booted off the HD with 9.04, I can plug in an external USB keyboard & that works fine.
If I start the laptop from a Ubuntu LiveCd the keyboard & trackpad work fine.
There must be some system file disabling the onboard keyboard, I have used Keyboard Preferences to try different keyboard models.

I can't get respond through normal channels, all I can use is my phone. My keyboard is disabled. My PC is pretty much a paper weight. Both of them. The only way they could be getting in is through the wifi. I don't know if there is anything I can do. My recovery programsare not accessible. Even onstartup. Is it possible to clear the hard drive another way? I've heard fire purifies, I couldn't get another disc to boot up to reinstall ubuntu. Please text me any ideas, but please be specific with command lines, I have trouble with all the () and / [ and where they go.

I have been an Ubuntu user for a few years now, and in the previous versions I have made numerous bootable USB devices, I always thought it was so useful, and I never have had any problems.I just installed version 9.10 the other day, and it seems to be working well, but the USB bootable disk creator is messed up big time.When i try to select an .iso image to add to the source disk image area, it is just unresponsive. And when i try to do something else, like format a USB device, it says i cannot format because the device cannot mounted. But i know its mounted because i can access the contents of the drive.Anyways this was a huge disappointment as I was showing a friend how useful the UBUNTU tools are, and it does this. Does anyone know anything about this bug?

I downloaded the iso for my system (desktop x86 32bit) and I get the computer to open the install menu. I pick english, and then it wont let me select an install option. Arrow keys work, function keys work, even pressing enter gets the cd to spin in the drive, but it wont progress to loading the install files...

I am running Ubuntu 10.04, randomly while working in gnome with no particular application I get a freeze periodically. Neither the mouse or the keyboard will respond. I am running it on a lenovo Z61m laptop. I have had previous experience with Posix systems but I am a recent migrant from XP as my primary operating system. I never had such an issue with this computer which leads me to believe that it is not a hardware issue.

Nautilus goes back and forward with alt-left and alt-right.
Just like firefox only firefox responds to my corresponding mouse buttons.
How can I get Nautilus to do that?
If I can't get Nautilus itself to do that, I thought I could bind the buttons to alt-left and alt-right in CCSM. But I don't know how to enter keystrokes as a command.

I wanted to install Samba for file-sharing purposes on my home network, so I went ahead and installed the latest stable Samba release, but it doesn't respond to commands in terminal (i.e. sudo samba start, sudo samba stop, sudo samba restart, sudo samba /etc/init.d/samba restart...). My shared files are now viewable on other computers but completely unusable for file storage. Samba DID respond when I was using Samba4, but when I used Samba 4 I got this:
Code:
matthew@Server:~$ samba restart
Unknown parameter encountered: "max log size"
Ignoring unknown parameter "max log size"
Unknown parameter encountered: "syslog"
Ignoring unknown parameter "syslog"
Unknown parameter encountered: "passdb backend"
Ignoring unknown parameter "passdb backend"
Unknown parameter encountered: "unix password sync"
Ignoring unknown parameter "unix password sync" .....
So I either get a Samba that doesn't work at all (the current version), or a Samba that pretends to work but ignores all of my parameters, claiming that it doesn't recognize any of them. I searched through synaptic package manager to make sure I have every single code or management file that could possibly be helpful for using Samba.

Ubuntu 10.04 installed recently. Problem when watching a DVD with VLC. It plays OK, but won't respond to the mouse pointer. I can raise the volume by putting the pointer over the screen and using the scroll, but that is the only thing that responds. I have to get out of the program by doing a force quit. It worked fine in 9.10. I don't know if this is a VLC or Ubuntu problem.
