Ubuntu :: Change Key Mapping In 9.10?
Jan 17, 2010
I have found that the <Enter> key on the numeric keypad does not act the same as the <Enter> key on the main keyboard. Confirming a file copy in Gnome Commander for example. Using xev I found the following
Quote:
Main <Enter>
------------
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x5600002,
root 0x25d, subw 0x5600003, time 44244330, (50,55), root799,113),
[code]....
So based on some research it seems I should be able to edit my ~/.Xmodmap to assign the same key (Return) to keycode 104 - the keypad <Enter> key. Except - I have no .Xmodmap. Did it move in Ubuntu 9.10? Do I have to create it? or does Ubuntu 9.10 use a "better" method of handling key mappings?

I have Ubuntu 10.04 (Netbook Remix) installed on Asus EeePC 1000. Sometimes I use Apple Wired Aluminum keyboard for comfortable typing. There is no problem for me with netbook's keyboard, but i want to change the keys for the Apple one. For example: make F1-F12 keys really work like F-keys, not control keys; make Fn key to work like Insert key, and swap Cmd/Alt keys.
So, the main question - is it possible to change the layout of apple keyboard without changing the behavior of netbook keyboard? If not, then maybe there are some "switchers" that can constantly change mappings from one to another and back? And, at last, if there is no such tools, then what is the easiest way to do it manually?

I posted earlier regarding an issue with my netbook not having the <>| keys while on Scandinavian layout (Acer Aspire One 532H). I never use the "Fn" key on any laptop I have and it's especially disposable on this Netbook. While digging around in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty I've got the fi.map.gz open but unsure as to which is the fn key. How would I find out which maps to the fn key?

I just installed Centos 5.2 with a netinstall usb key. I had no Belgium keyboard mapping available during installation, so I chose a fr-latin1 layout. Now this is the default keyboard mapping for the gnome login screen, and for every new user on the system. How can I change this to a Belgium keyboard layout? I can change it for myself within my gnome session in Preferences>Keyboard, but I haven't found how to change the "global" or default setting.

I am very very productive with the new Windows 7 taskbar. The ability to press Winkey + # to either:
1) Minimize that window if it is the window that currently has focus set to.
2) Restore the window the key combination is pressed but the window is not currently open. For example, if Firefox is the third tab across the bottom of the taskbar, and not currently open, I would like <Super> + 3 to restore this window for me, instead of having to do alt + tab, tab, tab, tab [OH! Now I finally got to it!]. I just work much faster with this convenient shortcut.
The Problems
1) I need to know how Ubuntu remembers the current location of an item on the taskbar. It must, as you are able to re-arrange items with a drag of the mouse. I need this to find out what item #, so when I press <Super> + num I can figure out what is the numth window across the bottom currently.
2) I need to know how to execute something like [psuedo-code for bash script]:[ie: How do I minimize? How do I check if a window is currently the focused window? How do I make it the current window?]
I am a programmer, I am willing to figure this out for myself at least partially, but how the hell do I find #1 without diving into thousands of lines of source? I could use some push in the right direction. I just switched to Ubuntu a month ago [from Windows, but I was very much a power-user and know my way around it well].

I've got an old Nostromo n50 speedpad that I decided I wanted to try to get to work with WoW. I have looked into the Nostromo Linux drivers and Pystromo, but I decided to dip my toes into Python with Gizmo Daemon because I should be able to use it for other gamepads in the future. Here's what I've done so far: Installed GizmoD from Synaptic. Read through the tutorials and HOWTOs on the website. Used gizmod -g to record the input from my Nostromo n50. Attempted to modify a GizmoD map file to do what I wanted. Up until the last part everything has been going fine. Here's the mapping of my input keys:
Code:
Key 01 Press
onEvent: Standard -- /dev/input/event3 | [EV_MSC] c: 0x4 Val: 0x90001
onEvent: Standard -- /dev/input/event3 | [EV_KEY] <BTN_A> c: 0x130 v: 0x1
[code]....
The last four keys are commented out in my map file for the moment since I'm not quite sure how to do them. The map file is attached to this post. As you will see from the map file, I just want keys 01-10 to translate into my normal keyboard keys 1-9 and 0. The DPAD I want to translate into a normal WASD for gaming. I'm kind of stumped as to where to go from here. I run gizmod from a terminal, but it doesn't seem to work.

I've just upgraded my installed software packages to last version of Lucid and noticed a weird issue: my keyboard keys are all messed up. Although my keyboard layout is still US-105 keys, when I press (for instance) "asdfg", I get "abfhj" and for "ASDFG" I get "1a1b1f1h1j" !? This only happens when I am logged as user in a X session. Root sessions are OK

I've found that simply sharing a folder on my Ubuntu PC with other Linux PC's on my network proves unwieldy from an 'ownership' standpoint. For example, if I create a file from my Ubuntu Laptop and save it onto my Ubuntu Desktop 'share', I find that if I try to access it from the Desktop that the group/ownership prevents my access so I end up having to chown it. I'm finding sharing in a mixed environment to be a pain.
So, I recently configured an old desktop box with FreeNAS and I want to move all of my files from my main Ubuntu PC over to it, and have those files accessible from various clients (both Windoze and Linux) from thoughout my network. Now I've got the FreeNAS all set up and shared, and I'm ready to transfer files to it. What's the best way to mount Mr. FreeNAS on my various desktops and laptops such that sharing is not a problem from a security (group/owner) standpoint? Should I be using CIFS/SAMBA or is NFS mounting better? Will there be sharing problems or ownership issues when accessing from Windows?

Using Anthy with IBus I'm having troubles typing the correct characters. I have stickers set on my keys that correspond with the correct keys for Windows/Google IME. Unfortunately Anthy and IBus have my keys mapped differently than this for some reason. If I have "Use System Keyboard Layout" checked in IBus settings the character ろ isn't mapped at all and if I uncheck it, a very large number of characters are mapped to completely different keys. When I look at the keyboard layout for Japanese Kana I've also noticed that ろ is unmapped. If it's not clear, I typically type using 1 keystroke being equal to a single character rather than typing in Romaji.

I have 4 computers/users and we need to put all the files on a central server. The server is running Ubuntu 10.04. What is the best way for these 4 XP users to see the files that will be stored on the server?
Or basically, how will I either share or map the files *from* Ubuntu *to* XP? Also, the users will be reading, writing, creating and deleting files on the server.

So, I was working with Ubuntu 9.10 and I wrote a C program which was working just fine. Then, I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 and tried to run this same program again. However, I get the following error: Code: Memory Mapping failed. Error: 1 Part of the code has the following: Code: volatile ulong *memory;
int fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR | O_SYNC);
if (fd < 0) {
printf("Could not open memory.
");
return(0);
}
code....
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? I do not know if there would be any significant change between Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.10 that could be generating me this problem.

I have successfully mapped the plus-minus key on the keyboard to emulate the Wheel/Middle Mouse Button click with this shell script run at startup:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap -e "keycode 49 = Pointer_Button2"
xkbset m
This is so I can rotate the view in Blender without clicking the wheel, because the wheel also zooms, and it's too easy to zoom inadvertently. The remaining problem is panning, a Shift-MMB combination. Now I'm lost - how can I map a key (or better still, a Shift-key combo) to the Shift-MMB click?

I wanted to use NFS4 with id mapping. I followed the write up at [URL] and basically have everything working.
The problem is that I cannot write a file unless I have group write permissions. On the server the user has uid = 1000, gid = 1000. On the client the user has uid =1699, gid = 1000. Both have the same user name.
On the client the directory listing properly shows the user name and the group name. If the file on the server is 644, the client cannot write to the file. If it is 664 on the server, then the client can write to the file.
/etc/export on server contains:
Code:
/export 172.24.84.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/export/myuser 172.24.84.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/etc/fstab on client contains:
Code:
nfsserver:/myuser /home/myuser/mntpoint nfs4 rw,noauto,user 0 0

how to make autofa5 work [with NFS4] using [in]direct mapping but no joy so far. Firsty, this the "/etc/exports" on my NFS4 server (CentOS 5.6):
Code:
/media/exPort htpc(ro,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,fsid=0)
/media/exPort/mMusic htpc(ro,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
and this what I have in there:
Code:
[root@serv03 /]# ls -l /media/exPort/mMusic
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 11 databank lhome 4096 Jun 23 21:25 iTunes
drwxrwxr-x 3 databank lhome 4096 Aug 19 2010 Network Trash Folder
drwxrwxr-x 3 databank lhome 4096 Aug 13 2010 Streaming Radio
[code]....
But it doesn't work - neither it throws any errors in, nor does it mount the share. All I need is to mount "/mMusic" (i.e. /media/exPort/mMusic) as "serv03:/media/nMedia/mMusic" so that tree looks like this:
Code:
.
|-- media
| |-- nMedia
| | |-- mMusic
[code]....

So I have a few Ubuntu (Hardy till I can find a replacement for Xen) boxes that I am trying move from nfs3 to nfs4.I set it up according to this guide: URL...However I ran into trouble when the client see's all users/groups as nobody/nogroup.The current set up is that all the boxes have synced uids/gids and all users with root access can be trusted. I read some reports that said the only way this could be fixed was by using Kerberos. However I would really prefer not having to move to Kerberos as I have heard that it is very intensive to set up. So what I am looking for here is a solution other than sticking with nfs3 or putting everything on Kerberos. However if you think that Kerberos is easier to set up than I am giving it credit for then that could be useful to hear as well.

I am having trouble upgrading from old grub to grub-pc. I have a clean install of 9.10 on a system with a new ASUS motherboard with Nvidia RAID configured as RAID 0.Although I read the page on SATA pseudo-RAID, this doesn't seem to apply, as both 9.10 and Windows XP installed cleanly without any additional drivers required.I did notice that contrary to the documentation, 9.10 installed with grub v0.97, not the new one as claimed. It is working fine, but just to be ornery, I'm trying to upgrade to the new one, and this is where I ran into trouble.Whenever I try to run grub-upgrade, I get an error from grub-probe that 'no mapping exists for' my raid partition. Apparently grub-probe can deal with the device, but not with the fs_uuid, as follows:
twescott@latitude:~$ sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fcacbeib5
twescott@latitude:~$ sudo grub-probe -t fs_uuid /boot/grub
grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `nvidia_fcacbeib5'
The system seems to be recognizing the RAID with no problems, as in:
twescott@latitude:~$ sudo blkid
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fcacbeib1: UUID="28D83EB2D83E7DDE" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/mapper/nvidia_fcacbeib2: UUID="4344165e-07c3-4da6-b640-da9bf964a74e" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda: TYPE="nvidia_raid_member"
[code]....
I'm thinking the problem may be in my grub device.map file, which only lists the SATA raw device aliases, but I may be completely wrong:
twescott@latitude:~$ cat /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb

I'm trying to get the special keys on my bluetooth keyboard (Dell Y-RAQ-DEL2, which came with my Dell Inspiron 530) to work under Ubuntu (10.04). Specifically things like the calculator button, volume knob etc.
I've tried various keyboard mapping in the Preferences > Keyboard menu, but the system doesn't seem to be able to "see" any of these special keys.

After a while away from Linux, I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my home PC. Here is the problem: The terminal STINKS in general. Unfortunately, it appears that nothing has changed in the last 3 years in this particular area. I remember now that the terminal (keyboard mappings, colors) was one of the reasons I went with Fedora for my home PC a few years ago.
Short question: WHY is Ubuntu's so different, and why hasn't it been improved? I have a standard 104-key keyboard, yet when I try to edit with VI, the arrow keys don't map properly. You'd think that user feedback alone would have fixed this over 3 years time. Anyhow, how do I fix it?
The white background, minimal color terminal isn't very good. But I really need help getting the various keys (delete, home, end, arrow keys) to map properly. I went with Ubuntu because it seemed to be more ready "out of the box" and I don't need cutting edge like Fedora offers. I wanted more stability, etc.

I need to read many files very fast: reading them from the disk leads to bad performance!!I copied the files into /dev/shm, being sure that they were copied in memory, but the performance didn't improve.Then I created a tmp file system in /mnt (/mnt/tmpfs) and I mounted it withmount -osize=400m tmpfs /mnt/tmpfs -t tmpfsand copied the file in. But the performance still remain almost the same.I've the doubt that I didn't copied the file in memory!The question is: Did I make the right things?I run a FC 11 64 bit on a dual procs server with 16 Gb memory

I've found several how-to's, but the "problem" is that all the ones I've found up to now involve using xmodmap. I'm not radically opposed to that, but, with debian, for some reason, I don't need it. I don't have a Xmodmap file, and yet, the special keys have their "names", instead of NoSymbol (on xev). Anyone knows where the settings are, whenever one does not use xmodmap?To make things weirder I've tried to create a Xmodmap to use with arch from debian, but it get the names all wrong, for some reason. (I used xmodmap -pke > .Xmodmap). I guess that whatever debian does, it has nothing to do with xmodmap then.
But I think it may not be possible. Besides not using xmodmap, on debian I have the correct keyboard layout set without having any command (well, at least not on my openbox startup script... it could be somewhere along all those "deeper" startup scripts, on /etc/rc.#/, I guess... I'm going to check there now), while on arch I have a "setxkbmap" on my openbox startup script.
