View 1 Replies View RelatedYesterday, after browsing for a while, my keyboard suddenly started to show different characters than typed. The keys are just typing different letters than pressed. For example, the j displays a 1, the k displays a 2, and so on. This only happens on the x server. On the terminal, before starting the x server, the keyboard works just fine.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.
I type characters with an overbar, like the NOT symbol in math, when in a linux SSH shell with no GUI?

Whenever I try to type certain letters such as a lower case "s" it instead accesses the shutdown menu at the top right corner. This is disabling me from finishing my server and downright frustrating.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just installed openSUSE 11.3 on a workstation in my office and am having trouble with the font in the terminal window. It appears very blocky and some of the letters run into each other, regardless of font chosen. Here is a pic of the issue: Has anyone any ideas as to what is going wrong? I've gone through the 'Preferences' on the terminal window but nothing I change helps.

I have added a Latvian keyboard layout to my Ubuntu 9.10 system (Russian as the system language). I cannot type Latvian letters with diacritical marks. I chose an apostrophe-based keyboard layout, so that I get the letter I need by pressing an apostrophe before. For example, to get ā, I would press 'a.The problem is, when I press ' followed by a letter or space bar, nothing appears on the screen. I continue typing as normal, but each time I press an apostrophe, the next character I press displays nothing on the screen. I have tried installing a Latvian language pack through System -> Administration -> Language Support. It was generally a useful addition. But it did not solve the problem. I still could not type Latvian. After that, I tried removing the Latvian layout from settings and adding it again. It did not help. I tried removing the layout, restarting my computer, and adding the layout back. The problem was not resolved.
I have tried different Lativan layouts (with tilde, with F, and standard). I had the same problem regardless of the layout I used. I browsed dozens of forum threads, and in one of them I found a workaround for this problem. For example, to type �, I hold down Shift and Control together, and while holding them press u0160 (because 0160 is a hex code for � in the character map). The first 0 is not significant, so to save time I type u160. I looked up the hex codes for the letters I need in Applications -> Accessories -> Character Map. In that application, at the bottom of the window, for each letter there is a code U+(four hex digits) e.g. U+012A. I wrote out all the codes I need on a small paper slip and stuck it to my monitor.Entering symbols this way is rather inconvenient. But at least it is possible.How to enter Latvian letters using just a Latvian keyboard layout? Is it a bug I should file? Would be great to find out.
My development target environment is intel corei5 architecture. I want to build my source for i5 architecture. I am paning to use gcc 4.5.1. In the gcc manual i found an option to select the cpu type(-mtune = cpu_type).There is no i5 processor in the cpu type options.If i use -mtune=generic, will it produce optimized code for i5 architecture or it will produce the code for generic x86_64 architecture?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is an interaction between OOo and the font package on Ubuntu, so I have searched both sets of forums fruitlessly. In Open Office when I go to select font characteristics for the so-called MS fonts (Arial for example) instead of the menu showing Bold and Italic, it shows "Negreta" and "Cursiva".

After I logged out, I chose meego as session type and tried to login again.
I entered correct password, but when I press enter after type password , display change to black and got some message and backed to login session again.
On the other hand, I succeed in running MeeGo Live CD(1.0.1 build 1.4).
I wrote MeeGo Live CD image on USB Flash Driver by using Win32 Disk Imager, and boot that one successfully, although it has some flaw.
Network Settings Window is stuck in workspace and can't move or close, so it cover other appication's window. Internet on toolbar is broken, so I have to run FireFox in application toolbar to use internet.
I'm using Netbook based on Atom CPU and GMA.OpenSUSE installed in my netbook is installed by KDE Live CD image.
Should I Use Gnome to use Goblin, because MeeGo is using Gnome? Or.... what is problem make Goblin doesn't work?
Recently I faced a problem in typing in English in OpenSuse 11.3.When I try to type in English it shows me Greek letter and worse than that I think it is really Greek (not only in font) because when I enter my passwords or try to type a command in terminal I get error,I tested with UK and USA and all other English languages and I still have this problem. I even do reset in my keyboard layout setting and in KDE setting but it didn't help.

View 6 Replies View RelatedYesterday, while surfing a web forum with ~6 tabs open and music playing, I noticed that the top of my Firefox window, next to the minimize/restore/close buttons, was displaying the wrong name. It was displaying my second tab while I was on my fourth, for example, and this error continued even as I switched tabs, picking a tab for the name at seemingly random. The menu bar next to the "click here to hide all windows and show the desktop" button continued to show the right name, however. Within a minute or so, the browser started to hang, my computer started to slow, and the top of the browser became entirely obscured. I was eventually forced to power down the computer by use of the power button, as I was unable to access the shut-down menu.Upon booting up again, I noticed that the computer took longer to get to log-in. Once I did log in, I noticed that the text at the top of the window now consisted entirely of squares, with about as many squares as there would be proper characters normally. Furthermore, this had spread to other aspects of my system. I have all current updates.
Examples (attached pictures should illustrate):
- When in the File Manager, there are tabs that show your movement through the system; for example, if I start by opening Home, then Pictures, it'll show my Home folder and Pictures there. The currently-selected tab has the erroneous display of squares, but the non-selected ones do not.
- The shutdown menu has squares where the names of the individual options should be and at the top window, but the descriptive text below continues to function normally.
- The update manager has squares at the top line of the "loading" prompt, the top line next to the update manager icon (just above "The package information was last updated X hours ago"), and the name of each individual update consists of squares, in addition to the text just below "changes for the versions: 2.2... etc" text but above the changelog.
- The "Users Settings" options menu has squares at various areas, such as the name of the user, account type, and password. (The area with the name and colon, such as "Password:" is correct, but the area after the colon is all squares.)
- Black box system notifications - for example, the name of the wireless to which I have just connected - have the first line made into squares.
- Authentication prompts - for the package manager or update manager, for example - have the first line as squares, but the second works normally.
- The package manager seems completely fine, other than the aspects of it previously mentioned that extend to other applications (the name area at the top of the window, the authentication prompts).
(Looking back, I actually meant "rectangles" when I said "squares." Oops; apologies for any confusion caused.)It seems obvious that SOMETHING has become corrupted, but I'm not educated enough on the subject to identify and solve the problem, or to know much of the standard procedure for this sort of situation.
for some obscure reason black squares appear instead of a specific letter. Not always the same letter - it just seems to pick a letter different every time.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy terminal shows unicode squares (the little square with it's 2 byte unicode value inside it), whenever I press a control character while running a program (ex. cat or ping).See this example. Here I show the key's I pressed then turn off echoctl, and repeat the sequence. http://imagebin.ca/img/mXbutJ1.png
the 0003 is when I pressed Ctrl+C, and the 001A is when I pressed ctrl+z.Can anybody tell me why this is or how to turn it off. This is inside a gnome-terminal session, though I don't think it's gnome-terminal.If, inside this exact same bash session I open screen (by typing "screen"), it doesn't do this anymore, and ctrl+c/z/etc is completely quiet.
Essentially I have found this guide, but it is for miktex, i need a guide for texlive on Debian/Ubuntu which will not pollute dpkg installed texmf.
I'm interested in converting TrueType font to be usable in (pdf)(La)TeX.
All the power google turn up just stuff f relating how to install microsoft fonts or do stuf on MikTeX.
I CANNOT USE XeLaTeX!!! I use pstricks and the font must be available in plain TeX! Otherwise my document looks inconsistent!
Most of my work happens in a terminal, so I need a clear, readable font. I've settled a while ago on Terminus [URL]..., which works wonders for me. I added XTerm*faceName : Terminus in my ~/.Xdefaults, and I do get the Terminus font. Unfortunately, a lot of Unicode glyphs are missing (mathematical symbols, greek and hebrew letters), displaying as little square blocks instead.
If I remove the faceName entry, the default configuration seems able to display most of the glyphs (including math, greek, hebrew, runic, and whatever else), but the default font is much harder to read.
A google search hints that it should be possible to use Terminus as the default font, and fallback to (an)other one(s) for missing glyphs, but provides no further explanation. I've seen documentation that recommends Bitstream Vera Sans as a fallback, but it lacks the glyphs I need too; I don't know how to identify the default font used by xterm either, I had a look at /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, but all I can find are generic references to old pre-fontconfig font names.
Using Gentoo Linux, fontconfig and xterm are up to date, USEs trutype and unicode enabled, X.Org server 1.6.
Edit: I alternate between Ratpoison, Awesome and XMonad, without a desktop environment.
I am using a VRS for ftp operations. I have bought it with OpenSuSe 11.3 installed without any Control Panel installed. I have used NX and installed IceWM as windows manager. It works really great. Then system wanted me to upgrade. I did so. After upgrade to 11.4, my programs screwed up. They don't show any text at all but squares instead. I have tried everything i know to fix this but i could not manage to repair it.
My VRS has 512mb RAM , OpenSuse 11.4 (32-Bit) and has no control panel. I use yast through SSH Telnet client (Putty).
I can't change fonts in Firefox preferences (Content).
My OS is openSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4. release 8.
Any type and size of font I use, nothing happens. It's still same font which I choose for the first time I've started Firefox afer installing openSUSE 11.3.
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
