Ubuntu :: Freezes Mouse After Changing A Tab (with Ctrl+tab, Alt+#) Or Closing It (ctrl+w)?
Nov 11, 2010
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything

I can not copy/paste ctrl+C or ctrl+p from one folder to another with the mouse. i was trying to move an item to another folder.
I looked in the keyboard short cut and it was not there. i tried to add it and it put it in custom as disabled and I could not enable it.

I have 3 layouts: USA, Russian and Hebrew. In Hebrew the W key is mapped to apostrophe, so Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout doesn't close tabs in Firefox. There is no workaround for it as I see by now, so I am trying to get it work this way:I want to map Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout(which is actually a Ctrl+') to be a Ctrl+w. Here is what I got from xmodmap:Code:$ xmodmap -pke | grep 25keycode 25 = w W Cyrillic_tse Cyrillic_TSE apostrophe WAs you can see, there are pairs for each layout, each pair tells what happens without and with the Shift key pressed.

trl-q closing firefox being next to ctrl-w closing tab shortcut is one of the most annoying things firefox4. Had a look on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...firefox+ctrl-q but it does not really work with firefox from what I tried. Any clues that do not involve installing a plugin? Even a warning that you are about to close multiple tabs would be ok for me. Disabling completely would be ideal.

" Mark the start of the text with "v", "V" or CTRL-V. The character under the cursor will be used as the start.""With CTRL-V (blockwise Visual mode) the highlighted text will be a rectanglebetween start position and the cursor."I can mark the start with "v" or "V".But it doesn't work when I push ctrl+V.

I just spent a few days ripping out all the broken/buggy apps that are in the opensuse 11.2 official repos so I can finally get working software(openoffice, thunderbird, wine, eclipse, rubygems, rails, and a few others required getting the "official" versions from their respective websites to avoid strange behavior and outright broken functionality).
All of which makes updating more annoying and time-consuming. Why are opensuse packages so different anyway? Anyway, the last thing that I have noticed to fix is Konsole. For some really bizarre reason ctrl+z and ctrl+c do not work without a third keystroke: enter.Maybe this is something new with the KDE team, since they seem bent on making simple things that already work more complex, but given my experience with crappy packages in the suse repos, I am thinking this is the problem. I have looked over all the config settings that I can find and nothing fixes this affront to productivity.

I've been using Kaggregator in KDE-PIM, which uses Konqueror as the browserto go to links from Kaggregator.Unfortunately, Konqueror no longer seems tobe able to Copy highlighted material with Ctrl C, the way we've done it forever.Is this a setting I've missed? Or is this a new "feature" in Konqueror?

Ever since I made the switch to Ubuntu I have had a problem getting back to the X Windows environment from Virtual Terminals. Control+Alt+F1~6 work fine but when I try Control+Alt+F7 my screen freezes.
I have been trying to find a solution to this problem but it doesn't seem to be affecting many other users. Not sure if it matters, but I'm running 64-bit Lucid Lynx.

I'm trying to write a init.d script to daemonise a sagemath notebook server. Here's what I've done so far, I've copied /etc/init.d/single for the structure, and tried to use dtach to provide a handle to access the process. However, my main problem is issuing the signals to kill the process (Ctrl-C) from a bash script and exit dtach (Ctrl-`)
[Code]...

I currently use a laptop (win vista was the original OS) and I decided to get rid of it. So I tried Ubuntu, bam, no pointer, I changed yesterday for Kubuntu and the same problem goes on, invisible pointer. The mouse is perfectly working it's just I can't see it on the screen. To get even worse and make me want to throw my computer through the nearest window, with kubuntu I can't use the same trick as with ubuntu, I mean I can't locate the mouse by holding the 'ctrl' key.
It's a very common problem with VIA/3 chipsets (which is the one I have) and I also read it's often a bug with OpenChrome and to fix it I may have to modify the xorg.conf. But here's another issue, my xorg.conf file isn't in the same folder as for most of the people: instead of being in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.conf, and, which is most, it ain't even named xorg.conf but xorg! Besides, I can't modify the file to enter a command that may be a solution because when I try to save my modifications, it tells me I haven't the permissions and I can't get it to run in root.

Like many others I recently upgraded to 10.04. So far it's generally an *excellent* upgrade. Very promising LTS release. However, mouse clicks are suddenly not behaving as expected in applications (including system config apps). In these, I must ctrl-click to get proper left and right click behavior. Strangely, on both the top panel and on the awn dock, clicks behave as they should. One final note, this behavior was not immediately present after the 10.04 installation. It started the day after the 10.04 release. Currently in the process of checking recent installs to see if anything would affect this.

I recently switched from Windows XP to stable Debian w/KDE on my work dell B120 laptop. I have been trying to diagnose freezes. In the evenings I have been leaving an SSH connection to my home computer. I leave a command running that writes the current time to a file every ten minutes. The past two nights it has stopped writing the time after a couple hours (not at the exact same time), and I am no longer able to ssh from my home computer to my work computer.
When I get back to work, the work laptop is frozen. CTRL+Alt+Backspace does not help, neither does CTRL+ALT+F1. Ctrl+Alt+SysRq works sometimes. It has not yet frozen while I have been present.
I tried disabling the screen saver and monitor power controls in KDE, thinking that those only come on when I am away, so they might be the cause. But it did not help.
I took the last time recorded by my ssh connection and looked through the logs trying to find something that happened at that time, but the only event occuring around the time the SSH connection dropped was a chron job that runs every hour. As far as I can tell, the chron job does not actually do anything but write to the log each hour.
So obviously I need to post more information. What would be helpful? Which log or configuration files might contain clues?
I see these lines in my logs:
kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
imklog 3.18.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
It appears at 6:25 AM each day between when the SSH connection drops and when I arrive in the morning. Do I need to restart logging?

Here I was, having problems with the resolution then I stopped the X server as was instructed at the tutorial. I followed it all then rebooted. But I found that even after reboot, I'm still stuck with TTY. I clicked Ctrl Alt F7 but still it's a terminal and it did not return to the GUI or the normal desktop. What will I do to exit it? It's a good thing I have windows vista along with it or else I'll now have a computer that I can't use outside the terminal.
As nothingspecial said, I should place the link of the tutorial I was following: [URL]

I've just done a fresh install of Natty. The key Ctr-Alt-R doesn't do anything. I've checked in both Unity and Gnome. Using the Keyboard Layout GUI when I press Ctrl and then Alt and then R, the Ctr and Alt keys light up but the R key doesn't. Ctr-Alt-S works (and so do the other keys I've tried). kev shows a keynotify event for Ctrl-Alt-R, not a keypress event. I've checked my Keyboard Shortcuts to make sure it isn't listed there, but since the Keyboard Layout doesn't show the R key being pressed I don't think it's a shortcut issue.

I'm trying to make get a higher resolution when I use Ctrl+Alt+F2, I've looked up in other forums but apparently 9.10 changed its methods to fixing your desired resolution. I've tried other ways of changing it but I get an error when I boot in to the system, I have Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, a GeForce 8800m GTS, the highest my screen can go is 1440x900.

I am an Ubuntu/Linux noob, I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago, and it sometimes gets extremely slow and crashes. I can't get out of the crash with ctrl-alt-backspace and I have even tried the key combinations suggested here to no avail.
Ubuntu 9.10
Computer:
IBM T42
mem 500 MiB
Intel Pentium 1.70GHz
The crashes usually involve Firefox being open + another program ( could be pdf reader, calibre, or something similar). I try to keep the amount of open Firefox tabs below 5 as it gets very, very slow (that was one of the reasons why I decided to install Ubuntu, in the old windows XP installation Firefox was also excruciatingly slow).

Every time I do Ctrl+C/X and want to paste something with Ctrl+V my browser opens up trying to go to [URL] I looked in the forums and they explained that, if I understand correctly, ubuntu or gnome doesn't have a clipboard manager (I'm probably wrong)... so installed Parcelite and I have it running but it doesn't solve the problem. I'm really used to using shortcuts. At school we use Fedora and there's no problem using Ctrl+V How can I fix this problem?

Since I still want to do all my programming on Win32 platform, VirtualBox should be fine there, but would VirtualBox be able to manage games ( BF2, CSS )?If so then well I'm going to Ubuntu permenatly, if not, I'll just Dual boot between Windows & Ubuntu, Ubuntu for everything ( VirtualBox for programming ), and Windows os for Gaming.
My only problem there, is having to restart every time I want to play a game, that's why I was hoping VirtualBox could manage, wouldn't have to be any, fancy resolution.Also, with Firefox on linux, is it possible to use Ctrl- ( 1, 2, 3, etc... ) to switch tabs, on windows this is possible, and an a feature I love.

Today I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 server (64bit) on my machine and found that CTRL-c (i.e., control key plus c) does not work in emacs 23.1 (from emacs23 package), which means I cannot quit the emacs by "CTRL-x CTRL-c" any longer.
Whenever I type CTRL-C, the emacs says "<cancel> is undefined". The "describe key (i.e., CTRL-h k)" command for CTRL-c leaves the following message in the message buffer: "<cancel> (translated from C-c) is undefined".
Until 9.10, I have never had such problems and wonder whether this has been introduced by 10.04.
In fact, I found that the behavior of CTRL-c has been slightly changed in a terminal (e.g., putty session) as well, and googling gives the following: [URL]
But I'm not sure the above has something to do with the said issue with emacs.

For some strange reason I am not able to highlight/select words using Ctrl , Shift and the arrow keys together. Each of them work individually with the arrow keys but. Is there anyway I can find out if I have assigned a shortcut to that particular combination ? (Nothing is listed in keyboard shortcuts)

This is a problem which has been plaguing me ever since the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid.
I used to be able to log into any one of the seven TTYs.
CTRL-ALT F1-six all work fine. Problem is if I log into one I can't get back to the GUI.
Immediately after the upgrade, I was told by some people that this was deprecated along with startx and I should use sudo gdm service start instead.
This doesn't work for me If I have to open a terminal when a nasty game freezes and I have to kill it from a terminal.

after karmic to lucid upgrade i ve got problem with "alt + f4" key combination. This should only close window, but it closes window and switch to tty4 (text mode) like ctrl + alt + f4 so i can switch between terminals with ctrl + alt +fX and alt+fX. I've looked at System - Preferences - Shortcuts and there everything is ok. What i've to do to fix this ?
