General :: Check The Status Of Mouse-button/ A Key Press Using C ?

Jun 23, 2011

1) check if a mouse button is pressed down. I need to check this status of mouse button again and again inside a loop. Depending on the status, some function will be called. OR

2) check if some key of the keyboard is pressed down. I need to check this status of 'key' again and again inside a loop. Depending on the status, some function will be called.

Either of the two above will serve my purpose.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10.

OpenSUSE :: Press The Right Mouse Button For More Options (such As Mount Or Eject)

Mar 29, 2011

openSuse 11.4 64bit fresh install, KDE 4.6.0. Now I am probably being obtuse, but If I click on the wonderfully named "My Computer" I get, among other things, a display of Disk Information; hard drive partitions and any DVDs or CDs. If I let my mouse cursor alight on any of these, I get a message "Press the right mouse button for more options (such as Mount or Eject)" But if I press the right mouse button, I don't get those options; I get a message "Open in new window, Open in new tab, Open with ..., Create file project with K3b, and Compress ...".

Ubuntu :: Remove Gwibber Status Indicator / Gwibber Status In The Panel While Keeping The Shutdown Button?

Mar 16, 2011

After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 I uninstalled empathy (im using skype). The empathy menu in the evolution indicator was gone after that.I also uninstalled gwibber. But the gwibber status indicator remains within the about-me panel... Uninstalling the gwibber package also removes the me-menu which I want to keep actually. Especially the shutdown/restart... part of it. See attachment.I know there is a shutdown panel-app...but its butt-ugly and it doesnt allow to logon/off.

In another thread I read that the gwibber status shouldnt be there if no account for it is configured... which it is not... I do use ubuntu-one though which is in the same menu... I saw that this issue was addressed at some bug report before, but not fixed yet...

Does anybody know a good workaround to get rid of the gwibber status in the panel while keeping the about me and the shutdown button?

General :: Check Status Of A Shell Script?

Aug 2, 2010

I'm running CentOS 5.5 and have created an init script. The start of the script contains:

# Source function library.
if [ -f /etc/init.d/functions ]; then
. /etc/init.d/functions
fi

The start bit works fine, but I'm having problems with the status and stop part:

status)
echo -n "Status of script: "
status "/bin/sh /path/to/script.sh"
RETVAL=$?
echo
;;

In PS AUX the command appears as "/bin/sh /path/to/script.sh" and I can see the PID. But when I run:

./my_init_script status

It says the script is not running. Should I be using the /bin/sh bit, or just the full script path, or just the script filename?

The stop part of the init script utilises "killproc". Again what command should I be using to successfully kill all occurrances of the script?

Fedora Hardware :: Mouse Middle Button Mouse Paste No Longer Works In FC14?

Jan 4, 2011

I just upgraded to FC14 (64) from FC13 (32) and the mouse middle button (simultaneous left+right button) paste function has stopped working. I tested it with 3 makes/models of different mice and trackballs. For some reason (left+right) mouse returns the same code as the single right-button ('xev' value = 3). This worked in all previous FC and RH distros I've used in the past. Did a default setting get zonked somewhere? System: Toshiba laptop w/ USB mouse.

Hardware :: CUPS And HP LaserJet P1505n - Green Button Press Required For Printing

Feb 21, 2011

At work I've got a HP LaserJet P1505n printer that is used as network printer. It has an ethernet port and is plugged in directly into the network. Everybody in the office is using Windows and has no problems working with it. After a few hours of google-ing, I also managed to set it up with CUPS as a LPD printer, with some problems: every time I send a document to it, it goes into the "error" state, and I have to press the "green" button for the printer to start printing. Is there a way to work around these errors? I tried to google for these kind of errors, but couldn't find anything useful.

General :: Mouse Button Numbers Assigned In Mint / Ubuntu?

Nov 25, 2010

I just bought a new mouse - just a cheapie usb wheel mouse but it has an extra 'thumb' button which I thought I might as well set up to do something useful. I used 'xev' to determine the numbers that the OS had assigned to the buttons, and I found it wasn't quite what I was expecting:

left = 1
wheel-as-button = 2
right = 3
wheel-up = 4
wheel-down = 5
thumb = 8

I thought the right button would be '2' and the 'wheel-as-button' would be 3 - that's just how I've always seen them referred to in explanations, and I thought it was standardised. Not a big deal - the context menus still pop up when I click the right button so it all works ok. (And I just discovered the wheel-as-button does a 'paste' operation when it's clicked. Weird - I've never noticed that before...) But the thing that I find particularly odd: why is the thumb button assigned as '8'. What happened to '6' and '7'? Does the operating system assign these numbers, or are they built into the hardware in the mouse itself? Again, no big deal, I know I can remap the buttons if I need to, but I was just curious as to how this all works and google didn't help.

General :: Mouse Button Programming - How Two Smaller Buttons Addressed

Apr 14, 2010

I have a Logitech ambidextrous trackball, with a left and right mouse button. The trackball device also has two smaller left and right buttons. I'd like to know how those two smaller buttons are addressed. Ultimately, I'd like to assign certain keystrokes to them, to make work faster. For example, ALT+<right arrow> moves a browser back one page. how to name these keys, or whether/how I should address this USB mouse. FWIW, I'm actually using it through the PS/2 mouse adapter, since that doesn't take a USB slot.

Ubuntu :: Mouse Press On Touchpad Does Not Work Sometimes?

Jan 30, 2010

My hardware is a Gateway LT2104u netbook.Bought it today, took it out the box and installed the netbook version of Ubuntu.Now here is the problem.The touchpad works fine. I am able to move the mouse all over the screen, the keyboard works find too. The problem is with the mouse click. The clicks are recognized when I am in the 'overview screen'. For example I can click on firefox and it opens. However once firefox is open it does not respond to any clicks. Even clicks to close firefox.

I push Alt+f4 to close the program and then I can click into any other (or the original) programs, but once inside the problem replicates.The problem was present in the 'live cd' during install as well.Does anybody know what might cause this? The whole netbook is useless at this point since I need to click to pretty much do anything in most applications (the Terminal program is one of the few exceptions )

General :: Ubuntu - Optical Mouse Assign Backspace To Wheel Button

Apr 25, 2010

I am trying to use my Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse (it has left button, right button and the wheel button) in Ubuntu 9.04.I would like to use the wheel button to perform the same task as backspace key in firefox browser and file browser. I have hunted around the net for the past two weeks and found many articles on imwheel and editing x11config files but they all are for 5 of 7 button mice. I have installed and used imwheel -c which tells me that it is "wheel: Left Button 6". However as a total beginner with Linux I am not sure what to do from here. I am hoping that someone would be kind enough to give me a reasonably detailed explanation of what I need to do. If someone could spend some time to list what files I need to edit and what I need to insert into them for this mouse I would be grateful.

General :: Check The Snmpd Is Really Running Apart From Service Snmpd Status?

Feb 8, 2010

I have six linux Centos 5.0 Servers. I had to configure the snmp client. I just created a pretty basic configuration snmpd.conf file

Code: rocommunity CompanyCom 10.1.1.10

I installed all of these

lm_sensors-2.10.7-4.el5.i386.rpm
net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-7.el5.i386.rpm
net-snmp-5.3.2.2-7.el5.i386.rpm
net-snmp-utils-5.3.2.2-7.el5.i386.rpm

4 of them are working fine, the application installed on 10.1.1.10 can query 4 servers but I got 2 Linux Centos that are in a DMZ, and my networking team already opened ports and configured NAT but the SNMP Server 10.1.1.10 is not able to query them how can I check the snmpd is really running apart from service snmpd status? might be related with the DMZ configuration?

It is an hp compaq d220 MT.It looks good and feels good, well at least for a while since it keeps crashing. The screen starts to flicker, goes black, and the only way to get it up and running again is to press the on/off button until the system powers off and restart.
