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
View 3 Repliesrecently 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'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.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 would like the name of a virtual desktop to be displayed when I switch to that desktop.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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 trying for the first time to use gpg to encrypt a file with a symmetric key, but gpg doesn't seem to respond when I use the -c switch.gpg -v -c filename.. just doesn't seem to do anything, nor to report any error, and just hangs until I hit ctrl-c.

After plugging in both USB cords to the system, the drive is powered, will respond to the eject button on the drive itself, but I cannot do anything with it from the computer, namely watching DVDs. I have been using Ubuntu for about a year now, but I still don't know much about the inner workings. I would assume this is a driver or compatibility issue, but I thought I'd double check before returning it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using 10.04 since just before the release candidate, currently I've installed a clean full install of 10.04 and I've been experiencing random nonresponse times with my system. I could just be sitting here reading some email or visiting a web page and suddenly the system will just stop responding.
When this happens nothing responds. No mouse, no keyboard, nothing. It's a total lockup. This problem wasn't happening with any of the Ubuntu releases before 10.04 but something with 10.04 doesn't seem to like my system. My system is an AMD X4 Phenom processor with 7GB of ram, ATI video, etc. It's a fairly nice system and this nonresponse issue is really starting to annoy me.
Is anyone else having a similar issue? I'm going to download the 32bit version and install it to see if the problem happens there too. Not sure on how to track down what could be happening as it really look like its random at this point. Pretty strange and very frustrating. I suppose if I can't figure it out, I can just reinstall 9.10 for now.
I have Ubuntu with a Gnome GUI. When I tried to add a third panel to the left side, it didn't respond for a moment then two panels appeared on that side and all the panels froze. Whenever I log out, shut down or restart, it tells me that Panel is not responding and does not give me the option of closing it. The whole left side of the top and bottom panels are blank now. I can't use the menus or my quick launch icons. When I right click on any of the panels nothing comes up. My other user account and my root profile work fine, (but use different themes), and I can use my account with KDE or XFCE.

I'm trying to install Thunderbird on my mom's desktop. She has been using Outlook Express for years, and I want her to get away from that as well as Windows in general (her computer has a true 1.8 GHZ single-core processor and only 512MB of ram). The first thing I did was install Thunderbird on her XP partition, then I copied the .default file to a flash drive and copied it into the folder where I saw that Thunderbird had another .default folder in (although I never created a user for it). I deleted that folder and replaced it with the .default folder from her XP system. I then went to load Thunderbird, and it gave me the error message that is in the title.
I restarted Ubuntu, and it still gave me the same error message. I then deleted Thunderbird from the Synaptic, Software Center, and Terminal. Every time I went to re-install it I got the same message when I tried to open the program. I did find a couple of threads here that had problems with the same error, but it was after they upgraded the software.I found a lot of threads on Google on how to convert from Outlook to Thunderbird, but most of them were 2-3 years old, and the instructions were useless.
Every time I click on the button to close Firefox I get a warning message saying the window is busy and not responding and asking if I want to shut the application.It disappears after about three seconds.
This happens even in safe-mode with one tab open.It's version 3.0.19 on Jaunty.
I know this is the kind of vague post that people hate. But I'm having a problem. Every now and then (several times a day), my computer stops responding for several seconds.
I notice it most in Firefox. If I'm typing information in a form (like this one) on a web page, everything just stops. If I keep typing, the text eventually appears, apparently having been stored in a keyboard buffer.
But it's not just in Firefox. I have had the same problem in OpenOffice applications. Things just stop. The computer apears to "think" for several seconds, and then things continue.
After several seconds, everything is okay. So some people may say that this is normal. And while I'm no guru, I have been around computers for a long time, so I remember back in the day when this happened all the time. But I haven't seen it (at least to this extent) in previous versions of Ubuntu (or in Windows).
It's a serious problem.
what I should look at? I have a feeling that there is some setting somewhere (cache, etc.) that is set wrong.
I have been using 10.4 as a Linux NFS server to share it's storage with a number of Mac computers we use in the office. All the Macs are configured to connect to the Linux server using the mount_nfs command in terminal.I have been using this method to transfer files to and from the Linux server for a while. Today, I installed a number of standard Ubuntu updates / security patches per the standard GUI update tool.
Now, I'm getting "nfs server 192.x.x.x:/media/video: lockd not responding" error messages. I have not seen this error before, and I haven't changed anything else about the configuration of the Linux server or the Macs with the exception of the installation of the security patches.
All of a sudden, none of the menus respond to mouse-clicks, no right-click menu either...Seemed to be ok all day, now all of a sudden?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing problems with keyboard shortcuts. It started to happen after I installed gnome shell and switched back to gdk. the most annoying part is that every single keyboard shortcut works except the most used one AKA "run a terminal"
first I thought it had something to do with shortcuts in compiz but no. I changed the keyboard shortcut for "run a terminal" to something wild like CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N and it still doesn't work. That command is not doing anything... Can i add my custom commands to keyboard shortcuts and how?
I'm using Ubuntu Lucid 10.4 on a Dell Studio 1537 Laptop with a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 USB Keyboard. Currently, my keyboard is not responding at all. It's been like this for half a day now. With the exception that it was working fine for quite some time, it used to periodically, and randomly do this out of the blue. Meaning I can come up with nothing logical to tell me why it stops working. The only hint is that the problem first occurred after my upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10.

All of the sudden my keyboard and mouse are not working any more. At login window keyboard is working OK so I can login (mouse is not working), but after login, keyboard is not responding unless I press the key for few moments (perhaps a second) until a keyrepeat begins. Only then key is accepted and echoed on screen.
Funny thing is, if I login as some other user, everything works as expected.
I have already ran Xorg -configure as su, but it didn't resolve the problem.
