[SOLVED] Changing default keymaping in fluxbox

Right, here's one I'm finding interesting and a little frustrating.
My default keymapping in fluxbox is set to us and I can't change it.
My keymapping is set to uk in rc.conf and I can get uk in the terminal.
I have also set the xorg.conf file to contain the following lines in the eyboard section:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
I tested x before installing fluxbox by doing startx and it worked ok, the keyboard mapping was set to uk.
I have installed fluxbox and have set it to start when using the startx command in my user account, leaving root to use just normal x.
In fluxbox the keyboard is mapped to us instead of gb, but it's ok in normal x.
The only way I can get around this is to use the setxkbmap gb command in the xterm of fluxbox, but doing this everyti,e i boot is annoying.
I've also tried adding the line setxkbmap gb to the startup file ~./fluxbox/startup but that does not work either.
Any and all suggestions welcome. (And yes I have read posts on other forums and searched on google).

hi.
put this line on your ~/.fluxbox/startup
setxkbmap <language_symbol> &
replace "<language_symbol>" with the language symbol you want
you may check them with the command
ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
(pt stands for portuguese, fr for french, etc..)
put it just before "exec fluxbox"
edit: sorry I didn't realized that you have tested this before

[SOLVED] Changing default music player

A very simple question, but I'm trying to make rhythmbox play my mp3 files instead of VLC. When I do open-with, it tells me I have to use sudo for it. But I'm not using the terminal for that, I'm using the lxde-compiz gui. I don't know the command
I opened some cache files and switched rhythmbox into the front of the list like another site I found said, but it didn't work. The openwith and change default worked great with my root account though xD
I really just don't know what terminal command it would be to change it.

[SOLVED]Changing the KEYMAP in rc.conf

What values are you supposed to give it so that it will change to that keymap? I'm trying to change to the 'colemak' layout, I can't seem to do so.
If I'm already in x, this doesn't work:
setxkbmap colemak
but this does:
setxkbmap us -variant colemak
I tried both 'colemak' and 'us -variant colemak' in rc.conf, but neither works.

man rc.conf wrote:
KEYMAP=
Defines the keymap to load with the loadkeys program on boot. Possible
keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps. Please note that this
setting is only valid for your TTYs, not any graphical window managers
or X. KEYMAP in /etc/vconsole.conf takes precedence.
setxkbmap is for X.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KEYMAP
KEYMAP="colemak"
should work according to the wiki.
Edit: The man for rc.conf is in initscripts 2012.01.2-1 - in [testing] atm.

[Solved] Change default leaf background when unlocking screen in Gnome

This is kinda silly, but how do I change the default desktop background when unlocking screen in gnome?, its always that annoying green leaf background, how can I make it my wallpaper instead?
Last edited by daf666 (2009-06-13 12:35:29)

See the Gnome_Tips wiki article which contains the answer to this and other questions
Change the Default Background Image
The default background is that zoomed in picture of a green leaf. It appears for newly created users, but more importantly, this is the image shown when the screen is locked. As of 25-Apr-2009, you can find this image here
/usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/background-default.jpg
To change it, simply copy your favorite image to this locate (as root) and rename it.

Windows XP is full updated (got problem once with connection to samba after update, got wait until next updates will come -.- , when new windows updates came XP could be connected to samba again, was a bug as I hoped).
I am starting/restarting samba with script like
#!/bin/bash

[Solved] Changing default file manager (with i3)

Hi!
Whenever I open whatever file in chromium it opens firefox and asks me with what I want to open it. (Not really lightweight. )
(The problem is the same with xdvi.)
I'd like to let thunar manage this. Can anyone tell me how to configure this in the system?
(I would be already graceful if somebody could tell me where it might be or for what I might search. I _did_ some research about that before this post.)
Thanks in advance.
Last edited by Maximalminimalist (2010-05-16 09:41:24)

I still don't get it. Maybe you could be a bit more precise in describing your problem.
Two things I think you might be after are:
a) do you want to be able to open files with application 'X' directly from within Chromium
b) are you looking for the default applications in thunar.
If it's a), you may want to take a look at this: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89053
I fit's b), right click on the file, choose 'open with' -> 'open with other application', choose program from list or click on 'Use a custom command', make sure that 'Use as default for this kind of file' is ticked.

[SOLVED]Changing default fonts

I recently updated Netbeans and one of the new dependencies was ttf-bitstream-vera. After updating, all my fonts went wacky, and Monospace now defaults to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, and all webpages without explicit font settings defaults to Bitstream Vera Sans. Is there any way to fix the default fonts?
Last edited by lolhue (2011-12-12 10:22:50)

You have to edit the files in /etc/fonts/conf.d. They are processed in order. Try to edit 45-latin.conf and 60-latin.conf and put the font that you want in top of the list for the serif, monospace, etc... (google for fontconfig configuration for more detail).

How to change default Ovi Player store ...

Hi,
I need help from you people.
I had installed Ovi Player. Whenever I try to open Ovi Player, the default store gets’ open is "India". I change the store location to "Germany". When I do the search for particular music, it will again take me to "India" store instead of "Germany" store. In addition, most annoying is that I have to re-login but my user id and password will not work as its different store. Also when I go via music.nokia.de and try to login, it open Ovi player and since default location is "India", it takes me to India store and my login credentials do not work.
I ask Nokia care on how to change default Ovi Player Store location but they are unable to provide any good answer.
I already un-install / re-installed but won't work. Do any of you have answer to my problem? I want my default Ovi Player location to be "Germany" instead of "India".
More information, my regional settings have location as “Germany” and language as “English”.
Please help.
Thanks for your response.

I had got message from Nokia on how to correct this issue. This had solved the problem. Below is the mail from them ...
Dear Chakraborty,
Thank you for your response.
This error is sometimes caused by a corrupted MDataStore.db3 file used by the Ovi Player. This file will need to be deleted with the Ovi Player closed. Then open the player and the datastore file will be rewritten by the application:
Close Ovi Music Player and delete the MDataStore.db3 file:
Vista C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
Both of these locations are in hidden folders. So, to view them users will need to:
Open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders
Once Ovi Music is opened again the MDataStore.db3 file will be rewritten to this folder.
  After that manipulation try to install the Ovi Player once again:

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Sorry for the goofed answer. Most people are looking to set the margins and I looked over that you were interested in the tabs.
To save tabs in fixed positions that will appear with every new document, you must modify the default template. You can't open the template from the desktop. If you do, it will open as a standard document. You must open it from the Open dialogue box from within Word. With Word in the foreground, press Command+O and navigate to:
/Users/your_account/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/
Open the file Normal.dotm
Set your tabs and save the file. Close the template. All new documents will now open with those preset tabs.

Gnome3: Default keymapping incorrect

I've been using arch with Awesome and everything was working fine. I installed gnome3 and started using that.
after Gnome 3 boots up this is the output of
xmodmap -pke
http://pastebin.com/VChFQXVT
keycode 110 = Home NoSymbol Home
keycode 111 = Up NoSymbol Up
keycode 112 = Prior NoSymbol Prior
keycode 113 = XF86AudioMute NoSymbol XF86AudioMute
keycode 114 = XF86AudioLowerVolume NoSymbol XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 115 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume NoSymbol XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 116 = Down NoSymbol Down
keycode 117 = Next NoSymbol Next
keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert

keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume NoSymbol XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 124 = XF86PowerOff NoSymbol XF86PowerOff
keycode 125 = KP_Equal NoSymbol KP_Equal
as you can see keycode 113,114,115 are the same as 121,122 and 123
113-115 are suppose to be the right and left arrow keys and the end key on my laptop.
i can change this by running xmodmap but i found that after I resume my computer the change has reverted.
I would like to fix this at the root of the problem, where these values are being setup initially, but if you know a way i can put in xmodmap with the new key mappings so even after a resume that would be ok as well.
Any ideas what is causing this?
EDIT::
before running xmodmap to change the keymaps, I ran xev to try and figure out what the heck is going on.
this is the output of xev for a down keypress and a right keypress

Hi Jonas,
The edit Key mapping information gets updated based on the mapping of the Remote key in Import manager.
Based upon which key for a given remote system you are mapping for a record the default key gets set in the Data manager.
The mapping can be done in the import manger but setting of the default key is limited only in the mdm Data manager.
You can only perform teh appropiate mapping of the required keys from your remote system as the Remote key for your records and view the same in Edit key mapping.
As this requires business intervention as mentioned in the above post i do not think this is allowed at the import stage.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards
