It would be nice to know how this file is structured and all its possible sections, keys, and values. Does anyone know of documentation on the file format?
I'm about to hold a course for learning Linux. I'd like the participants to see what keys and key combinations I press. Is there anything like Mouseposé for Linux?
Everything is working fine with my public keys and repository activity but when one of my team members tries to clone a repository, the clone is blank, example output:
bry4n@~/tests$ git clone [email protected]:tg/base.git
bry4n@~/tests$
At first, It was giving the typical no read access error. Then i stripped out alot of the junk out of the configuration then he started only getting the output above.
How can I do a right-click using the keyboard in Mac OS X Snow Leopard using the Logitech Wave Keyboard?
The keyboard has keys as Fn + PrintScreen, but it only works in Windows, not Mac OS X.
Hello everyone,
I am using MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.5. I am new to this development environment. I am previous working on Windows. I am wondering what is the page-up and page-down key on Mac? My MacBook Pro seems does not have the two keys on keyboard.
thanks in advance,
George
I use the dvorak keyboard layout on windows 7. Also, I have a bunch of custom keys mapped using autohotkey. I'm curious, is it possible to have the guest only receive the keyboard events produced by the host?
I don't really know how the host communicates keyboard strokes to guests so I don't know how to enable this or if it's possible. Thoughts?
Host OS: Win7 x64
Guest: Unbuntu 9.10 x64
On my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525), when ever I press Num Lock, they keys which you would normally press to get numbers with num lock on, only show up as letters. I've tried pressing function instead of num lock, but that doesn't work either. Can Any Body Help?
I have Xubuntu 11.10, XFCE. I want to send DBus signals to the players so that they worked like in Gnome: you press 'play' key, it plays, 'next' - it forwards, and so on.
For that, I need to bind to the multimedia keys a set of commands like this:
dbus-send --dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox ...
Now, I searched and can't find it: what signals should I send? I need only 3 events: play, forward and rewind.
I am trying to run growl notify over ssh like so
ssh [email protected] "growlnotify -m test"
is run I get
bash: growlnotify command not found
however running it straight from the mac it runs fine
am I missing something simple or is there a really complex reason this won't work?
ps. ssh keys are enabled in both directions
edit: I logged into the mac from a remote machine over ssh and tried to run it and it ran fine so it seems to just affect the one line login and run way and DrC tried that cated the .profile to .bashrc
system: Debian-60-squeeze-64-LAMP 2.6.32-5-amd64
As root I create a user in an ssh-console:
useradd -m -G users myuser
passwd myuser
xxxxxx
xxxxxx
su myuser or after login via ssh I get:
\[\033[01;31m\]\u\[\033[01;33m\]@\[\033[01;36m\]\h \[\033[01;33m\]\w \[\033[01;35m\]$ \[\033[00m\] plus the cursor
Using the tab key the cursor just jumps forward, so no completion here.
Also the arrow keys do NOT work, if I use right arrow key I get:^[[C
What could cause this behavior?
have a dell vostro 1520, installed an external usb keyboard which works fine but the laptop's keyboard does not work properly.
in the log in screen everything works as it should, once logged in the keyboard breaks. keys that have an alternate symbol accessible with the FN key render it by default. Meaning i have to press the FN key for it to render the proper ones- p has the * as FN, in order to get the p i have to press p+FN.
I have installed Windows 2008 R2 SP1 in a VirtualBox VM. It works fine, except that if I Remote Desktop (RDP) to the VM from the host (machine running VirtualBox, Windows 7 SP1), after a minute or so the windows shell becomes unresponsive.
I can no longer start task manager, open the start menu or switch applications. Keyboard input also drops some keys. Mouse movement is not affected.
Any idea what is causing this?
NB: This is Windows RDP, not the remote display built into VirtualBox
The question says it all. All i want is that my W-Lan connection should be disabled whenever a wired connection is available.
What would be the easiest way to do that in Ubuntu/Gnome?
In all guides (for instance some about guessnet) i found i had to configure my whole network configuration (WPA keys, DHCP, ...), but i find that a bit too complicated for such a simple use case. I just want to disable wlan0 when eth0 is connected.
I have a database which had all it's foreign-key relationships dropped at some unknown time in the past (don't ask). I have an old copy of the database which isn't good to restore from, but the schema has the relationships. I'm working from that to create a script to restore the keys.
In updating the tables, I've had to drop statistics from several tables. Do I need to manually recreate those, or can I just run the statistics update procedure when all the tables are updated?
Is it possible to do efficient browsing with Firefox using
only the keyboard (like in Opera)?
By efficient I mean something faster than using TAB - this
takes far too long. The arrow keys should be for navigation
(in Opera it is Shift + arrow key). It can done with the
Vimperator add-on, but isn't there a simpler way?
Update 2: the closest to Opera's way is to enable caret
navigation (F7 toggles this mode). It doesn't
jump between links so it is a little bit slower, but the
normal navigation (arrow keys, page up, page
down, etc.) works and the focus/caret/cursor follows
(in contrast to a text editor for page up/down). And text
can be selected and copied like in a text editor.
The biggest drawback is that in practice it is necessary to
switch in and out of caret mode. And there is no indication
of which mode is currently active.
Update 1: a work-around (proposed by several but is not
really what I am looking for) can be used if 3 settings are
changed (to make it practical). After these changes the
first few letters of a link text can be typed and that link
will selected so pressing Enter will open it.
Using the work-around the screen will jump around if it is a
long page as it does not restrict itself to the current
visible page, but it is usable.
First settings change:
menu Tools/Options/Advanced/tab General/Accessibility/Search for text when I start typing
Turn this option on.
Second settings change: set option to only go to links; in address
bar enter:
about:config
followed by Enter. Then: press "I'll be careful,
I promise", find the line
accessibility.typeaheadfind.linksonly, select it and
change the value to True by either hitting Enter or
Shift+F10/Toggle (accessibility.typeaheadfind.linksonly is
on line 11 when I tried).
Third settings change: turn off case-sensitivity. Set
accessibility.typeaheadfind.casesensitive to 0 (same
procedure as for accessibility.typeaheadfind.linksonly, see
above. When Enter is pressed a dialog box will appear with
the current value. Type 0 and press Enter).
To use: type some part of the link. If there are several
possibilities use Ctrl+G (or F3)
to jump between them. Use Ctrl+Enter to
open in a new tab.
Platform: Firefox 3.0.6, Windows XP 64 bit SP2.
I have a Kinesis keyboard that I ideally like to use by placing it on top of my laptop. When I do that, I wind up pressing keys on the built-in keyboard with my external keyboard.
I've been playing around with the GUI keyboard controls and reading the ubuntu forums for a couple hours without really any forward progress. Even a hacky solution or a pointer to a good library for configuring multiple keyboards differently would be much appreciated.
thanks.
I have English Windows 7 Professional with Hungarian keyboard language installed.
The English keyboard layout works as expected, but for the Hungarian layout some kind of "accent combining" is activated.
The effect of this ^+o becomes ô, ^+a becomes â, etc.
This is not helpful at all, since the accented characters of Hungarian are already mapped to keys, but it's really annoying because I have to type a non-combining character to actually get ^.
Is there any way to turn this "feature" off?
I have an ubuntu box that I connect to using avahi. Connecting to that box works fine for all services (I regularly use AFP, SSH and SMB on it) but I've noticed that whenever I connect to it from a mac using SSH (and using the ".local" dns name provided by avahi - eg. "ssh .local") SSH tries to connect using ipv6, which for some reason times out (after two minutes) then it tries ipv4 which connects immediately.
I'd like to avoid this timeout, as it's really annoying for me and other users - if SSH tried ipv4 first or if ssh over ipv6 worked then that would solve the problem. But so far I've been unable to get either to work (the best I've managed is to specify the "-4" option to SSH to stop it from trying ipv6 at all).
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. Any solution has to be on the server (not the client) as there are multiple clients connecting. A possible complication might be that my LAN is set up to allow link-local ipv6 addresses only, but I have other servers (using Mac OS) that I can SSH into using ipv6)
I suspect that the problem could be solved by either preventing avahi from broadcasting the ipv6 address, or by enabling ssh over ipv6, but so far as I can tell avahi is already configured not to broadcast the ipv6 address and sshd is configured to allow ipv6 connections!
Here's my /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf (I don't think I've changed anything from the ubuntu defaults)

Does anyone have any ideas that I can try, or has experienced anything similar?
I use a Dvorak keyboard layout, controlled through the language bar "United States-Dvorak". I'm trying to use the Chinese IME (Simplified, Pinyin), but whenever I switch to that mode, the keys go back to QWERTY, so I can't type...
Note: The OS is Windows 7, which has the new Pinyin IME.
Edit: I wish I could put my SO rep up for a bounty here. :\ I guess 100 has to do for now.
I just wonder if there is a way to use SSL certificates or PGP keys for signing my email.
At the moment I have to setup S/MIME in Outlook (or another thick client) to send signed messages via SMTP. It works for me, but I'm looking for a way to do the same using GMail's web interface.
After going through a few rdp sessions to xp machines, when I come back to my local machine it appears some setting has been tripped so every key I type is registered as one of the function/alt keys plus the key I type, causing windows to open and close windows randomly and other erratic behavior. Pressing windows key and numlock returns everything to normal. Any ideas what causes this. I have experienced this on multiple win 7 machines, but never in vista or xp.
Hey guys i'm using phpmyadmin (php & mysql) and i'm having alot of trouble linking the tables using foreign keys.
I'm getting negative values for the field countyId (which is the foriegn key). However it is linking to my other table fine and it's cascading fine.
So when I go to add data there will be a drop box for the CountyId and the values will look something like this,
" -1
1- "
Here is my alter statement,
ALTER TABLE Baronies
ADD FOREIGN KEY (CountyId)
REFERENCES Counties (CountyId)
ON DELETE CASCADE
I'm trying to remap a bunch of my keys and I'm running into trouble. I'm currently trying to use xmodmap but failing. Maybe there is a better way?
Can someone explain how I can best remap ctrl-j on the keyboard to produce ctrl-c?
It's not as easy as just making j=c. I want this happen only when I'm holding down ctrl.
Hi!
I'm wonder if is possible to authenticate the same user with different public-private keys pairs on the same remote host.
For all production servers, the public-private key pair has been generated for the same user and then exported to the backup server for allowing ssh authentication without human intervention.
However, I'm having problems on some production servers, once the password prompt is always displayed.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Best regards!
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I had earlier installed SQL server 2008 with SP1 with Visual Studio 2008 Team System with sp1. Now that VS2010 is out I wanted to install it so I uninstalled visual studio then MSSLQ Server 2008 SP1 and then SQL Server 2008 as suggested here: h**p://mark.michaelis.net/Blog/SQLServer2008InstallNightmare.aspx
But now when I try to reinstall it I am unable to get it right
