[Solved] How to disable switching workspaces in XFCE when scrolling?

As the title says, I want to disable switching workspaces when scrolling with the mouse on the desktop. I disabled the workspace switcher setting "Change workspaces using the mousewheel" but that doesn't change anything. Any ideas?

[SOLVED] How to disable built-in speaker when I use the jack port ?

Hi,
I own an Asus X52F-SX053V laptop which has built-in Altec Lancing speaker.
Here is my problem: When I plug my external speaker, or my headphones in the Jack port; I hear the sound through the device plugged in, AND through the built-in speaker.
I'd like to disable the built-in speaker when I'm using an external speaker/headphones.
I currently don't know how to do that, I guess it is possible
I can copy the output of all the commands needed.
Thanks

[SOLVED] When I plug something in the jack port, built-in speakers are automatically disabled.
Here is the trick:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add the following line:
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop
Restart Alsa, or reboot your computer
Have Fun !
Note: I guess it should work with other Asus computer (A52F, X52F series) and even maybe with other computers which use the following chipset: Intel IbexPeak HDMI

Disable Switch To Tab Function when clicking a link

When i click some links particularly in gmail, for instance if i get an email from youtube about a video being uploaded and i click said video, firefox opens this link in a new tab but the problem is that it automaticly switches to that tab which i hate. this happens with other links that want to open in a new tab to.
Switch to tab no more or switch to tab blacklist does not work. i did have a fix for it within the about:config page but i recently refreshed firefox and it removed the function. preferably i dont want to use an extension to solve this
''(edited title for clarity - c)''

You can remove the checkmark on "Open Tabs" in the location bar settings.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:<br />[] Open tabs
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
Note that you can hold down the Alt or Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to tab" and see the URL of all entries instead.
* Alt + Enter opens the highlighted URL in a new tab.
* Shift + Enter opens the highlighted URL in the current tab.
* Cursor Right copies the highlighted URL to the location bar in case you want to edit it.

Boss bought a new monitor for his mac book. We connected it but he rather keep the mac book lid closed in order to work on the bigger monitor screen. Soon as he closes the lid, the mac book goes to sleep mode.

How to disable switch control when your Siri doesn't work.

There's alot of people who managed to turn their switch control off by Siri or by triple click. How ever I disabled my Siri and was stuck at lock screen with no screen feedback. Went thru alot of online remedys and all didn't work. I'm sure there are a few who had this problem. So what I did was -
i hold home and power button to off my i pad. Then turn it on again. (When it just loaded to main screen you will have a few sec before switch control works again. )So when you are in main screen , triple click to get the accessibility box and off switch control. By tapping on the option. It worked for me. Hope it works for you. The Internet don't have much to help ref switch control which is irritating. Hope this post helps.

I am so sorry for sending the same thread for so many times, there is a problem with my brower.

[SOLVED]How to disable USB autosuspend?

Hello!
A long time ago I installed Arch on my notebook and configured it's power saving using laptop-mode-tools. I also installed pm-utils for suspend/hibernate. USB autosuspend worked correctly - on battery every device (including mouse) was suspending and no autosuspend at all on AC. Some time ago, I don't remember when exactly, it stopped working. Now, no matter what, my mouse turns off after 2 seconds.
Here is what I did:
1. Checked my laptop-mode-tools configuration (removed comments for brevity):
cat /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
DEBUG=0
CONTROL_USB_AUTOSUSPEND="auto"
AUTOSUSPEND_USE_WHITELIST=0
AUTOSUSPEND_USBID_BLACKLIST=""
AUTOSUSPEND_USBTYPE_BLACKLIST=""
AUTOSUSPEND_USBID_WHITELIST=""
AUTOSUSPEND_USBTYPE_WHITELIST=""
BATT_SUSPEND_USB=1
LM_AC_SUSPEND_USB=0
NOLM_AC_SUSPEND_USB=0
AUTOSUSPEND_TIMEOUT=2
So far looks good.
2. According to wiki, pm-utils might conflict with laptop-mode-tools. So I created a dummy file in /etc/pm/power.d for each of the scripts from /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d . For the moment I don't care if I disabled too much. I just hope laptop-mode-tools covers all powersaving features.
ls -l /etc/pm/power.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 08-08 19:58 hal-cd-polling
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 08-08 19:58 intel-audio-powersave

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1642 2013-05-30 xfs_buffer*
Still no luck.
3. As I found out, there is some kernel option CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, which allows the kernel to autosuspend usb devices: source. It's on:
cat /proc/config.gz| gunzip | grep CONFIG_USB_SU
CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT=y
And as I read here I can disable usb autosuspend using boot parameter. So i edited my /etc/default.grub, and now my grub.cfg looks like this:
sudo cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep usb
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=d18cd4a4-2ebf-4874-80ff-8520016b0ed4 rw quiet usbcore.autosuspend=-1
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=d18cd4a4-2ebf-4874-80ff-8520016b0ed4 rw quiet usbcore.autosuspend=-1
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=d18cd4a4-2ebf-4874-80ff-8520016b0ed4 rw quiet usbcore.autosuspend=-1
After rebooting I checked:
cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
-1
Cool! It should work! But... it doesn't. The mouse still goes to sleep after 2 seconds, and:
kolzi@kolzi-laptop ~ % for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend_delay_ms; do cat $i;done
2000
2000
2000
2000
2000
2000
2000
2000
2000
kolzi@kolzi-laptop ~ % for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend; do cat $i;done
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
Where doesn't this 2 (or 2000) come from? How disable this suspending and let laptop-mode-tools control it? What's going on?
Last edited by PL_kolek (2014-08-09 13:14:23)

For now I run
sudo systemctl disable laptop-mode.service
and changed in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf
ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_TOOLS=0
After rebooting I still have the same issues. Also, even after disabling laptop-mode-tools, the brightness changes after unplugging the laptop, so either the laptop mode wasn't disabled at all, or there is something else 'helping' me with powersaving.
@brebs
Thank you, but it looks for me more like a workaround than a solution. It could work, but it doesn't tell me what disables my mouse and where is the root of the problem.

It is the next screen Pick the command, click OK. It then throws up a box telling you to press the key combination. It will show as you push meta, shift and control modifiers. When you hit a character that generates a keystroke, it saves it, along with the modifiers.

[SOLVED] How to disable these messages at boot?

So I managed to install Arch, and set up the network. I have a Broadcom 4313 wireless chip, all I had to do is blacklist the bcma module, because it conflicted with the brcmsmac module, both are loaded by default (no need to add anything to MODULES=(), only the blacklist bcma entry to modprobe.conf)
So now I have a wlan0 interface that works perfectly fine, only I get these status messages during boot, that are totally unnecessary, see screenshot. These just pop up from nowhere, and annoy the heck out of me, disrupting the login and whatnot.
So can these be turned off somehow? I suspect they come from the brcmsmac module itself.
