I'm a UK based user and using a standard UK keyboard (Coleman based layout I think) although I have a backslash (to the left of the "Z", I can't type the character in any application. This is very frustrating when typing FQDNs amongst other things. How can I enable the backslash key for use with UK keyboard layouts. BTW I have tried all of the UK keyboards suggested in the keyboard layout dialogue
View 2 RepliesI am having what I think is a slightly weird problem with the way some of my keys on my keyboard are mapped. When I try entering the "backslash" keys i get < and for the pipe key i get >. I have tried going through the keyboard layouts and trying other combinations but to no avail
System info
ASUS G51VX
Keyboard: Standard
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.
I'm new to linux, been using fedora 12 for about a week. I just noticed a problem with my keyboard layout. When i press the key with the backslash and pipe character, i get < for backslash and > for the pipe character. I have tried the following to fix the problem:
1.$ gnome-keyboard-properties then selected the proper keyboard model (Asus Laptop) tried adding different keyboard layouts and setting them as default nothing i did there made any difference.I am currently using USA, i have tried Canada English, USA international, and more I noticed that even when i change it to something like Afganistan, there is no noticable different when i type in the test area. I notice that there are keyboard layouts that have < and > where the backslash and pipe character should be, but the picture for USA shows the pipe and backslash where they should be.

is there any ways to type japanese character in Linux Application like OpenOffice, Kwrite, terminal, and other application? I'm using OpenSuse 11.3 and I think I've install Japanese character support for my OpenSuse. But, I didn't know how type a japanese character in Linux Application. When using Windows, I only need to change the language bar to japanese to type in japanese character, but I didn't know how to do this in Linux.

I can connect to my Ubuntu box remotely with VNC, but if I type any character anywhere, it closes out the window I was typing in. I dont seem to have a problem clicking and opening windows and applications, I just cant type anything into them without the window closing. Has anyone seen this behavior and know what the fix is?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a vector of bytes that I need to store in a DB2 database and was wanting to do it with a column declared as VARCHAR () FOR BIT DATA. I can do this with no problem except when a byte representing the NULL character occurs in the vector. Anytime this occurs, the rest of the bytes are truncated. I know this is the proper behavior for if this were a string, but I was under the impression that if the column is declared as I previously mentioned, that this would support any variable length binary data including the NULL character.
I've found repeated references to people dealing with DB2 tables where the data in VARCHAR columns contained leading and embedded NULLS, so I know this is possible. Can anyone provide me with the proper INSERT statement in order to get this to work? This is the current BindParameters call I'm making for the VARCHAR () FOR BIT DATA column that's truncating after the NULL character occurs.
Code:
SQLBindParameter(handleStmt, 3, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR,
SQL_VARCHAR, (SQLUINTEGER)(30000), 0, data2, 30000,

1.What character instructd the shell to interpret a special character as an ordinary character?
2.What directory contains some of the utilities available on the system in the form of binary files?
3. What command is used to search the location of a utility?
4. What command is used to instruct the editor to write the file and quit the editor?
5. What key quits the more utility and displays the shell prompt?
6. What command starts a child shell as the super user, taking on root's identity and environment?
7. Which wildcard characters can be used for searching all the files in the system that start with "A"?
8. The user name or login name of the super user is????

I've written a simple server in linux used fork to create a FIFO pipe.The server create two FIFO pipe.One for server read data from client and write data to client.Then another pipe for client read data from server and write data to server.When the server read data from a client used server-pipe and then write data to client.But ,if the client no read open the pipe,the server side write will be crashed because of a broken-pipe SIGPIPE. How to check whether the read side is opened?Or,how to catch the SIGPIPE,and then my server will still execute on,not crashed!!

I'm trying to delete a file called

springlobby_config.h
I've tried:
Code:
rm -i *
which gives me:

rm: cannot remove `springlobby_config\.h': No such file or directory
Tried to rename it:
Code:

I don't think it's a permissions issue because usually the terminal would say permission denied, but perhaps I'm wrong.
In pcre manual, to use a backslash to escape a special character. But in fact, it is need to use double (\) backslashes to do escape for a pcre program on linux C,why?
View 5 Replies View RelatedReading a BASH script, I saw a find command preceded with a backslash. It was similar to this:
Code:
`find . -type f -name '*.xml' -print > xmlfilelist`
It's impossible to find documentation about this in man pages or on the internet, since 'backslash' are always evoked along with special characters. I also noticed that even though the command was surrounded with backquotes, the result was not affected to any variable. Maybe the backslash's presence is related with this?
I have a small script that takes input from one file, and uses this input to do a find/replace (with sed) to make an executable snmp trap.The input file could look something like this :JOHBURG SOUTH AFRICAOSLO NORWAY..etcThe script takes the input from this file, and preserves all words in one line as a variable (so that the variables are "JOHBURG SOUTH AFRICA" and "OSLO NORWAY", instead of JOHBURG, SOUTH, AFRICA, OSLO, NORWAY.This is working ok (in the given example, I get two variables).sed is supposed to take this variable, and use it to substitute "HITME" with the new variable.

This pretend to be a script for rename a lot of files automatically. So I put the list of files in an array named @lista. But, as you can see, at the end of the command I use a sed filter to print out a backslash for those files that have spaces in their names, so the path for those files could be rightly interpreted.
But there's no way I could print a backslash. It works well when I use the Perl's sed substitution s///, but I need every path in the array to be fixed.
I'd like to add that the bash command works perfectly well alone. I mean outside the Perl script.
This is de command line with the sed filter:

I was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.
When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.
1) Keyboard number keys on the right side, including backslash, plus, minus, etc. stopped working. The rest of the keyboard seems okay. It's not just this keyboard, either, because I plugged in my other keyboard and it has the same problem.
2) My mouse seems to have an intermittent problem in which it stops working for a few seconds or a minute. I can move it around the screen but I'm not able to click on anything. Sometimes if I wait long enough, it returns to normal. If I logout using the keyboard commands and log in again, it seems okay, at least until the next occurrence.
I'm running 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx. I installed a kernel update a couple of weeks ago (2.6.32-29) but I've gone back to -28 in the hope that it would solve the problem. It has not. Is there a software package I need to reinstall or some other way to revert keyboard and mouse settings to defaults?
In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive

I'm following the instructions for troubleshooting here but the pipe "|" key is not working - a tilda "~" shows up when I press it.I'm wondering if this is because of the keyboard being set as UK instead of US? I did have to change this setting at the graphical login initally, whether from choosing this setting by mistake or the installer choosing it automatically when I chose English UK for the language.
