CTRL_ALT-BAckspace not working in KDE4 [SOLVED]

Hi,
I use KDE4 (not modded) and have noticed recently that CTRL-ALT-Backspace won't work. I use it infrequently to jump to terminal mode so I'm not sure when this started. Is there a setting somewhere for KDE4 or KDM that I can alter or is this an issue with X???
Thanks

Have you enabled the functionality in x since the upgrade?

Backspace not working

On some of my systems, when I am in SQL*Plus, the backspace does not work. There must be a setting in the login environment, that affects this.
How can I fix this in the profile, without having to type in something everytime I log in ?
This is on Linux SLES9, running Oracle 10G.

What is the result of stty on the Linux becoming?
($ is prompt, do not type $, type only stty)
$ stty
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
erase = ^H;
-brkint -imaxbel
or
$ stty
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
erase = ^?;
-brkint -imaxbel
If it was the latter, please try this.
$ stty erase ^H
If this made your SQL*Plus correctly,
then please put it in login scripts on Linux for your convenience.
(ex .profile, .bash_profile, .login etc.)

G,h and backspace not working

hi,
i am using hp notebook 2000 series past 5 month.
suddenly switches "g","h" and backspace stopped working.
My BIOS configue is : F.26 -02/21/2013(088A120000305910000620100)
do let me know the correct solution.
regards,
chandresh.

Hi,
While this may well be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click on Standard PS/2 Keyboard and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook - if you're running Window 8/8.1, do this by holding down the left Shift key as you click on Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
When done, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 20 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to see if this will launch the Start-up Menu - if it does, select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Regards,
DP-K

Mouse not working in KDE4

Yesterday my mouse was going all wacky on me, I had to double click everything, buttons not working, and anything I touched stuck to the cursor. It was as if the the first click was just mouse down and I had to click again to release. Input with the keyboard was nutty as well - when I typed a character it remained highlighted and the next keystroke replaced it!
Well, today I have no mouse at all, the keyboard appears to be working properly. Looking in Xorg.0.log I see something like Keyboard found - configuring as mouse
I tried to downgrade some of the updates I had in the last days, for example the kernel but it didn't help. Xorg was updated about 10 days ago but there was no immediate problem.
I always try to provide as much info as possible (logs, configs, etc) but find it difficult now because I cannot cut text or even navigate. Beyond this, I have less and less time for Linux troubleshooting and system configuration, so please excuse me for that.

This is not due to a virus, or any other kind of malware.
First, is this a wired mouse or a Bluetooth mouse? If it's a Bluetooth mouse, try changing the batteries, even if they should be fully charged.
Have you tried a different mouse? If not, try that. Borrow one from a friend or buy a cheap wired mouse and see if that makes a difference.
If the problem affects all mice, try restarting in safe mode. Does the problem happen while in that mode? If not, and if it comes back when you restart normally, then you have some kind of third-party software that is causing the problem. The trick will be figuring out what it is.

BackSpace not working in textfield

Hi everybody!
I have a textfield that only lets enter numeric chars. It extends from JTextField.
The problem is that the Backspance key is not working. I see that is detected in the processKey Event but it does nothing.
I have seen some topics about that there is a bug in jdk1.3 and that a solution is using keyTyped instead. But I don't know how to do this.
May someone help me?
Thanxxxx

Hello,
i think the best way is to to use a custom PlainDocuments for your TextField:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class NumberField extends JTextField {
     public NumberField(){
          setDocument(new PlainDocument(){
               public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet a)throws BadLocationException{
                    try{
                         Double.parseDouble(str);
                    }catch(NumberFormatException nfe){return;}
                    super.insertString(offset,str,a);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame f=new JFrame();
          f.setBounds(0, 0, 100, 50);
          NumberField nf=new NumberField();
          f.getContentPane().add(nf);
          f.setVisible(true);
}Regards,

Backspace not working on Mavericks (External USB Mac Keyboard A1243)

After upgrading to Mavericks OS, my external keyboard's backspace key has stopped working. I have gone through my keyboard settings and unable to find any problems. The backspace works fine on another computer. Any ideas what the problem is?

Export to Pdf Not Working - Blank Pages [Solved]

Peace all!
I've been having this problem about some time now. Any export to pdf produces a pdf with the correct number of pages but they are all blank! Tried fiddling with the options to no avail. Also tried setting the options to use openoffice dialogs.
In an attempt to try to find some log of errors, I started writer from the console with soffice -writer and used the export pdf function but no errors are spitted out. I'm stumped...
Version 3.0.1
Thanks in advance!l

Ok, I managed to solve this by deleting the old .openoffice config folder and starting afresh. Not sure what's messed up though but the folder has been used since OO version 2.

Backspace not working correctly

While I'm in grid view I use Backspace to remove a series of selected photos from LR. I am given the option to Delete or Remove. When I choose Delete, the image is still left behind in the folder but is removed from LR, acting essentialy the same as "Remove".
When I right click a single image I am given the same options and "Delete" works correctly removing from LR and moving the image into recycle.
Is there a way to get Backspace to operate properly? I find it rather unweildy to have to delete one image at a time while reviewing them.
I'm running Vista Business, LR 1.0 on an intel e5500 laptop with 2gigs of ram and 60gigs of free space on my HD.

The Delete Remove only really works in Folders. In Collections and Keywords, it just removes the image from the Collection or Keyword list.
So... Are uou in Folders or All Photographs when doing this?

Bug JDeveloper 10.1.3 : Backspace not working in .jspx source editing mode

I checked the first 3 pages to see if someone else posted it and it don't look like it, so here I go.
I just downloaded JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 and found out that backspace no longer work when editing a .jspx page in source mode but works fine in design mode. In EA it was working fine. Is that wanted? Or am I the only one with that issue?
Regards

Hmmm,
I must have been too quick to install some plugins maybe. Time to retry with clean install I guess.
Thank for the quick input.

Sql "ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE x OFFLINE" not working??(solved)

Hi all,
I'm playing around with RMAN on a test instance, and am trying to just restore and recover a datafile. I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
I've renamed the users01.dbf file like it is lost...
I get RMAN going...I do a startup mount;
When I try:
RMAN> sql "alter database datafile '/data1/oradata/testdb5/users01.dbf' offline";
sql statement: alter database datafile '/data1/oradata/testdb5/users01.dbf' offline
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of sql command on default channel at 04/06/2009 16:13:28
RMAN-10015: error compiling PL/SQL program
Now....I did this with the number of the datafile, and it let me do the offine that way
RMAN> sql "alter database datafile 4 offline";
sql statement: alter database datafile 4 offline
But, I want to try it with the file name, and I can't understand why it is giving me an error.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
cayenne

Try following, you need to put in the single quotes twice.
RMAN> sql "alter database datafile ''/data1/oradata/testdb5/users01.dbf'' offline";Rgds - bigdelboyWow...ok, that was NOT in the book. This did work with double quotes on the outside " but, the datafile quoting required me to use 2 SINGLE quotes around that.
RMAN> sql "alter database datafile ''/data1/oradata/testdb5/users01.dbf'' offline";
sql statement: alter database datafile ''/data1/oradata/testdb5/users01.dbf'' offline
Any explanation for this? Granted the oracle press example was for a windows machine...

Mouse not working in X11 [SOLVED]

I can't seem to get the mouse working with X11. I set up hal to run as a daemon so I don't have an xorg.conf file. I also tested in X to see if mouse events were firing with cat /dev/input/mice and everything checks out fine. The cursor even renders, I just can't move it. I'm using the default touchpad on the laptop I installed Arch on if that's important.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Last edited by hypnotic_meat (2009-04-15 18:46:59)

I appreciate the help, but I already figured out a workaround for the issue I was having. I looked in the configuration log and saw that AllowEmptyInput was turned on which was causing my mouse device to be disabled. Putting the following into the xorg.conf file did the trick and gave me mouse power:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection

Auto-reply messages not working in pidgin [SOLVED]

I am not sure if this a configuration issue, but my custom auto-reply messages in pidgin are not popping up when someone messages me. I added myself to my buddy list to trouble shoot and I noticed that the message doesn't appear at all next to my status like it should. I just see 'away'. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm...I guess I'm stuck oh well. People that message me will have to deal with it when no auto-reply is sent back.

Graveman: not working & missing icons [SOLVED]

I upgraded to the latest Graveman (3.11) off the Arch repositories last night and am now missing most of the icons you usually see within the program. The application no longer works, and the xsession-errors file is showing a multitude of errors about missing graveman icons.
Anyone else getting this?
PS: I tried removing and reinstalling a few times, but still no worky-worky. The previous version worked fine.

shadowhand wrote:Install libmng again, and do a pacman -Syu and see if that makes a difference. Graveman works fine here.
Yeah, I've already tried reinstalling libmng and graveman several times after a sync refresh but no luck. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Yeah, miqorz - I like Gnomebaker, too. I switch back and forth between it and Graveman.
BTW: I've also tried totally removing graveman 3.10 along with config files, then installing version 3.11 but get the same results.
