[Solved]Bind shift+F5 to preform command....

Hi, how could I bind a key combo such as shift + f5 to preform a command? My brightness key on my laptop do not work, but I'd still like to change the brightness using other keys.
I am not using a DE, just openbox.
Thanks!

Thanks! I forgot about openbox's keybindings

[SOLVED]Binding Shift+Ctrl: Is it possible?

Hello I am using KDE 4.2 and xorg-server 1.5. Due to libxi upgrade kxkb is broken - flag doesn't change with layout. I've made a script which changes layouts correctly via dbus. Now i want to bind it on a Ctrl+Shift combination. Is it possible? I have binded it on Alt+Z for now, but it's very uncomfortable

I'm marking it as solved, because new xorg-server 1.5 works normally with libxi

How do I get capslock, shift, control, option, and command to work normal?

I did a clean install of Snow Leopard onto a new hard drive and restored the rest of my machine from a Time Machine backup.
The behavior of capslock, shift, control, option, and command have changed and are freaking driving me nuts.
Every time I hit shift/control/option/command an image of the key flashes up on the top right of my screen. I want this to stop and go back to a normal keyboard.
Also, the caps lock is no longer doing sane basic behavior like "Tap once for on, then again for off" like every other 3 billion keyboards on the planet. Now its doing this insane thing where I have to double tap it to turn it on, then again to turn it off, but sometimes it doesn't go off.
How do I get the keyboard in 10.6 to just simply act normal again?

Sounds as if you have Sticky keys turned on.
Turn of via System Prefs > Universal access > Keyboard
You can also press the shift key 5 times to turn Sticky Keys on or off.
Check the rest in System Prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard > Modifier keys.

Edit:
Besides a lot of other errors the problem was the systray. It was created 2 times, now login works again. I figured that out via enabling logging for awesome in the xinitrc again.

Shift key working like Command key in iMovie '06 Clips Pane

I am trying to move a lot of clips at once within the Clips Pane. The Shift key is not working properly; instead, it acts like the Command key. When I click on one clip, then Shift-click a final clip, no range of clips get selected: instead, only THOSE TWO clips are selected. What could be happening?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

"..the Shift key was a muck.."
..? ..Oh, I see. I thought you meant ..you know: I had visions of a keyboard moulded from mud..
Erm, Google combines "mud" and "keyboard" into "..A52’s Andy Hall Brings Classic Mud Flap Girl to Life In Honda ...When she opens the door to look inside, she sees another mud flap icon – the ... Kensington KIT PILOTBOARD WIRELESS DESKTOP KEYBOARD & MOUSE FOR MAC (Rated ..."

OK, that gave me a segfault, so
I downloaded the package and copied the folders to root.
no pacman works but gaves me this errors afterwards:
pacman-3.4.1-1: description file is missing
pacman-3.4.1-1: dependency file is missing
pacman-3.4.1-1: file list is missing
how do I solve this?
BTW: should I make a bug-report??
EDIT: any package I try to instal I get this error:

(it's in portuguese but i think its understandable)

[SOLVED] CUPS - Unable to do maintenance command: Unauthorized

Hi,
I had this problem several times now and still get hurt by it:
My HP_LaserJet_P2055d runs under ArchLinux. Then I use it for some printing with my Win7 Labtop, and the next time I try to use it under ArchLinux it doesn't work anymore.
After much research on the web, I found out, that this can be solved via the CUPS web interface, i.e. going to http://localhost:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_P2055d and then choosing 'Resume Printer' in the Maintaince drop-down menu.
However, when I did this successfully, I was offered a login as root. Now, if I try it, I only get a
Resume Printer HP_LaserJet_P2055d Error
Unable to do maintenance command:
Unauthorized
message, and I'm never offered a way to change user.
I tried to start the browser as root to circumvent this problem, but to no avail.
So, what shall I do to be able to do printer and job administration via the Cups webinterface?
Thanks in advance for any hints.

That is odd.
Try clickin on "Add a printer". If you are not the root user it should prompt you to enter the root password. You will then become root for the duration of the session...and hopefully will be able deal with the problem that way.
I'm obviously not root, since I'm not authorized, but I'm not prompted either, I get the familar error again:
Add Printer Error
Unable to add printer:
Unauthorized
Thats the odd thing I wrote about. I tried all my 3 browers, chromium, conkeror and firefox, but to no avail. I even tried to delete all my browser data. Its really strange - no prompt anymore, and no option to log in or change user.
ralvez wrote:Another thing you may want to consider is acquiring a network printer (a small box that acts as your printer manager for the network) so you do not have to worry about the problem any more. You connect over wifi or ethernet to the network printer and it will send the print work to your printer. They go for as chip as $40 to up of $200 depending on what you are buyin.
The chip ones are good for your home/dorm useage.
Thanks for the tip, I should actually have a home network and a network printer, but at the moment I would already be satisfied to simply be able to print again under ArchLinux.

[Solved] Binding a mouse button to control

Hi. I'm searching for a way to bind a mouse button to act exactly like Control.
If you would like to bind Caps Lock to act as Control you would do the following for example:
remove lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
It appears that xmodmap doesn't work this way for mouse buttons this way however.
The motivation for this is to have convenient key-bindings for an old game which doesn't support remapping.
Thanks!

This binds two side buttons on my DeathAdder to alt and shift and to launch it I simply run as root evrouter /dev/input/event* .
That worked perfectly, thanks!
The wiki mentions something about not(?) using the evdev driver in X. However no modifications were necessary here.

Volume key's suddenly shifts to a diffrent command

Hi could anyone help me on my volume control problem oo my MacBook Pro mid 2012 15.3inch Retina. Just a few minutes ako when i clicked the Volume Increase control key instead of inreasing the volume it shifts to Mission control window. When i click it again it returds to the previous window. In the case of the Volume Decrease control key, when you hit it the window hides the open window on the top of the screen and it shows a grey accents on the 4 sides of the screen. you can only control the volume control keys when you click Fn key all together. Thank you

Problem already solved. Thank you

[SOLVED] problem with spaces and ls command in bash script

I am going mad with a bash script I am trying to finish. The ls command is driving me mad with spaces in path names. This is the portion of my script that is giving me trouble:
HOMEDIR="/home/panos/Web Site"
for file in $(find "$HOMEDIR" -type f)
do
if [ "$(dateDiff -d $(ls -lh "$file" | awk '{ print $6 }') "$(date +%F)")" -gt 30 ];
then echo -e "File $file is $(dateDiff -d $(ls -lh "$file" | awk '{ print $6 }') "$(date +%F)") old\r" >> /home/panos/scripts/temp;
fi
done
The dateDiff() function is defined earlier and the script works fine when I change the HOMEDIR variable to a path where there are no spaces in directory and file names. I have isolated the problem to the ls command, so a simpler code sample that also doesn't work correctly with path names with spaces is this:
#!/bin/bash
HOMEDIR="/home/panos/test dir"
for file in $(find "$HOMEDIR" -type f)
do
ls -lh "$file"
done
TIA

oops, brain fart. *flushes with embarrassment*
-- Edit --
BTW, for this kind of thing, I usually do something like:
find "$HOMEDIR" -type f | while read file ; do something with "$file" ; done
Or put those in an array:
IFS=$'\n' ; files=($(find "$HOMEDIR" -type f)) ; unset IFS
for file in "${files[@]}" ; do something with "$file" ; done
The later method is useful when elements of "${files[@]}" will be used multiple times across the script.

[solved] cron refuses to run a command

For some reason, cron just won't run a one particular command.
Here's my crontab:
*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/modprobed_db store &> /dev/null
*/1 * * * * touch ~/.config/modopodo &> /dev/null
The second command is there just to check cron is working. And yes, it works. Each minute it creates that file.
But the first one just won't work.
I moved it underneath the second command - no difference.
I changed cronie to dcron - no difference.
But when I try this command in terminal - it works perfectly fine.
Why?
Last edited by Lockheed (2013-11-28 07:32:18)

@WonderWoofy, that is a good point. I installed the new version and now it seems to work with cron.
However, I am still puzzled why the last one didn't work in cron, while it worked in terminal.

[SOLVED] Bash: Append file contents to command prompt

Hi,
is there a way to append the contents of a file to the command prompt? Say I have defined an alias and I want to change it on the fly. So I'd do
$ which <my_alias>
then mark it with the mouse, and paste it to the command line. What I would like to do instead, would be:
$which <my_alias> > some_temp_file
$vim some_temp_file #edit the command the way I want it
$ # somehow get the file contents into the prompt here
I did try to google it, but to no avail and I know, I could just create a script from some_temp_file but I want the content to appear at the command prompt instead. So is there a way?
regards,
mox

Mox wrote:@progandy: Yes, this might be a step in the right direction. But what do the -i and -v options do? I did not find any documentation in the manpage. And is there a way to expand $COMMAND in the command line before running $COMMAND?
Why do you want to have the command in a prompt twice? "read -er COMMAND && eval "$COMMAND"" creates a prompt-like environment and then executes the input string. What the options do you can read in the bash-internal help, e.g.:
$ LC_ALL=C help read
-e use Readline to obtain the line in an interactive shell
-i text Use TEXT as the initial text for Readline
-p prompt output the string PROMPT without a trailing newline before
attempting to read
-r do not allow backslashes to escape any characters
Here is an example:
[progandy@pamobile ~]$ alias some_test='echo -e Hello WORLD"!"'
[progandy@pamobile ~]$ command_to_edit="some_test"
[progandy@pamobile ~]$ read -erp "Edit and execute: " -i "$(command -v $command_to_edit)" COMMAND
Edit and execute: echo -e Hello WORLD"\t!"
[progandy@pamobile ~]$ ####### in the line above you edit the command and bring it in the final form with all necessary paramters.
[progandy@pamobile ~]$ echo -E " *~* Now running: $COMMAND"
*~* Now running: echo -e Hello WORLD"\t!"
[progandy@pamobile ~]$ eval "$COMMAND"
Hello WORLD !
[progandy@pamobile ~]$

[Solved] Where is the gnu time command?

The manpage for the time command mentions a gnu version in /usr/bin/time, which has more options than the built-in shell version does. To use it, just specify the complete path, but I can't seem to find where the gnu time is installed in Arch. Is it missing, or do I need to install another package? Locate time doesn't list anything close, unless it has a different name.

It does not appear to be packaged for Arch, or even actually developed upstream: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/time/

[SOLVED] Using gdm, how to make commands run when x starts?

Hello World!
I am running arch on a Thinkpad T400, and would love to be able to scroll using the middle button and the trackpoint. I found this article: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … TrackPoint
and it says to insert some commands into .xsessionrc. The thing is, I'm not sure where .xsessionrc is, or if arch even uses .xsessionrc. (It said it would depend on the distribution.) I tried putting it in .xinitrc, but apparently that only runs with the command "startx", but I'm using a display manager. (gdm). In this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85714
the person was told to put the script in .kdm, since he was using that display manager. Is there a similar place for gdm where these commands will run at startup?
If anyone is curious, here are the commands I need to run:
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 200
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 6 7 4 5
Any thoughts, hints, suggestions, or solutions would be appreciated.

You should copy the global file to the location cookies indicated, and then modify the local copy.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Aw … ation_file
Arch wiki wrote:Whenever compiled, awesome will attempt to use whatever custom settings are contained in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua. This file is not created by default, so we must copy the template file first:
It's a good idea to leave that template config file alone (the one in /etc/xdg/awesome), so that when you break your local config (and you will, trust me) you have the template file as a backup.
You might want to read the wiki page for awesome, and also consult the awesome wiki.
