Magic Key Unresponsive As Well As System Settings

hello.
I tried to Install Debian 8 Jessie from the USB and when I got Screen Shot from the screen, The installer Saved my Screen Shot into "/var/log" but I can't copy it into USB because of it Seems as CD-ROM and CD-ROM is read only. How can I solve it?

Thank you.

I am having problems with my Sony Vaio windows
it boots up saying (on a black screen, grey text):
==============================================
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
Enter=Continue ESC=Exit
==========================================
No matter how many times i tried to restart and even tried F10 repeatedly or Alt-F10 I can't get to any other screen other than the above screen.

So I thought ah to hell with windows on this machine. I'll just install a linux distro because it's for my uncle all he really needs is internet and watch youtube videos/movies.

I have successfully burned and installed Fedora before on other machines using LiveCDs when they had CDs.

This time I tried to burn the DVD since it's it doesn't fit on the CD (I got my ISO from http://download.fedoraproject.org/pu...86_64-21-5.iso)
But when i inserted my DVD and restarted the same black screen appears.

So i have been looking for an older version of Fedora that fits on a CD (I am thinking maybe it'll boot from a CD, not sure though) but can't find any.

Any thoughts or solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance.

I am running linux mint from a live usb loaded with unetbootin for windows. It works with my wireless logitech USB mouse, but the touchpad itself is unresponsive. Keyboard including FN keys are indeed working. I am on an asus EEEPC netbook. I tried making sure the touchpad was turned on vai the function keys. I have also checked in system settings the touchpad is enabled. Any solutions anyone?

I was trying to write a simple menu using the "dialog" function only to find out that the version of linux i am running (I have previously worked on HP/Sun/ICL/AIX versions of unix)does not have the "dialog exe" and the one that someone has put on this box is not compatible.As follows:-

file /dir/dir/dir/dailog Retruns:-
dialog: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

where as
file /usr/bin/diff
/usr/bin/diff: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Where can I get the correct version of dialog.

uname -a gives :-
2.6.18-371.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 5 21:20:46 EDT 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I want to show keyboard layout and selection of language at login screen in RHEL 7.

I have modified the language menu to show "show keyboard layout" and "Region & Language settings".
On clicking above menu items, applications are launched but they are not visible at login screen.
I check the programs are running by taking a remote session.

gkbd-keyboard-display -l us
gnome-control-center region

above two applications are executing but none is displaying at login screen(gdm).

How can I bring the applications at top of display manager(gdm).

Hi Guys, genuine noob here. I need some help with my first 'puter project -

I have a PI2 running Raspbian, a vintage ZX Spectrum computer & hacked USB keyboard chip.

I've used the USB keyboard chip to interface the keys from the Spectrum into my PI2.

Unfortunately, I'm having problems re-mapping the keys using XMODMAP...

Now this where it gets weird, let me explain -

Firstly, I've managed to successfully map the basic numbers & letters, so that the Spectrum keys trigger the appropriate KeySymbol.
However, I'm having serious problems with the modifier keys...

SHIFT_L is mapping perfectly, and will trigger CAPITALIZED letters.
BUT... I can't seem to get accurate results from my re-mapped ALTGR button -

It works fine for SOME keys, but for others it will behave like SHIFT_L or not work at all

So as you can see below, I've (attempted) to re-map the Spectrum's SYMBOL SHIFT key to 'MOD5' (altgr), so that the 'number' keys will trigger !,@,#,$,%,&,',(,) and _.

so for 12345767890, I SHOULD be getting !@#$&%'()_
But - instead I'm getting 12345&78)_
It's working fine for keys '6', '9' and '0' but NOT for the other keys....

GGGrrrrrr... I don't understand what's happening here

Anyway, this is my xmodmap code. Please help me!

# first, sort out CAPS SHIFT and SYMBOL SHIFT as a shift and AltGr key..
xmodmap -e "keycode 85 = Shift_L"
xmodmap -e "keycode 97 = Control_R"
xset -r 85 # prevent new shift from autorepeating
xset -r 97 # prevent new AlrGr from autorepeating
xmodmap -e "add shift = Shift_L"
xmodmap -e "remove control = Control_R"
xmodmap -e "add mod5 = Control_R"

# one key maps to 'Caps Lock', need to remove this function to get it working
xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"

# Right, standard keys now... top row first, left to right...
xmodmap -e "keycode 89 = 1 1 exclam exclam exclam"
xmodmap -e "keycode 88 = 2 2 at at at"
xmodmap -e "keycode 112 = 3 3 numbersign numbersign numbersign"
xmodmap -e "keycode 34 = 4 4 dollar dollar dollar"
xmodmap -e "keycode 33 = 5 5 percent percent percent"
xmodmap -e "keycode 60 = 6 6 ampersand ampersand ampersand"
xmodmap -e "keycode 173 = 7 7 apostrophe apostrophe apostrophe"
xmodmap -e "keycode 114 = 8 8 parenleft parenleft parenleft parenleft"
xmodmap -e "keycode 106 = 9 9 parenright parenright parenright"
xmodmap -e "keycode 86 = 0 BackSpace underscore underscore underscore"

I should also mention that I've asked this same question on the PI forum, and no one's replied -

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...8&t=108434&e=0

Hopefully I can get some help here, as this project is currently useless without being able to re-map the keys.

Many thanks

Hi all,

Would love some advice about how to get a solution here.

Goal - join two separate ssh sessions together. I want to see if keys used to login to a bastion host can be different than keys used to login to server from bastion.

Scenario - I will login to a bastion host using ssh and my keys from my machine. The bastion host will then login to the actual server on my behalf - using a different set of keys. The ssh session from my machine to the bastion host and from the bastion host to the server now needs to be connected, for me to feel as if a transparent SSH proxy is just forwarding commands.

I have read up a bit on ssh proxies but it seems like this is not implemented right off the bat. I have read - http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH...and_Jump_Hosts , I have also looked at screen sessions - but am not sure how to "merge" two ssh screen sessions together.

Any advice will be very helpful.

Thank you.

I am using Slackware 14.1, with the KDE desktop environment.

How do I add the option "Empty Trash Bin" to the trash bin icon that is shown in the command line at the bottom of the screen? If I right-click the icon I only see options "Trashcan Settings" (which does not offer what I want!) and "Unlock Widgets".

I currently empty the trash bin by left-clicking on it and using Konqueror.

Hi everyone...

I'm running a Debian Wheezy 7 installation. I recently changed the ownership of my "/tmp" folder and have not been able to log in since. Everytime I turn on the computer it boots normally up to the log in screen, however when I try to log in the screen turns off and on for about a second and returns me to the log in screen. I cannot log in. I have not made any other changes to the system other than the one I mentioned.

If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated! Please help.

OK, I fixed the issue with the download. I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon "Rebecca" 17.1 on the computer. It said it was installed successfully, but when I rebooted all I got was a black screen with the cursor stuck in the upper left corner of the screen. I let it sit for a long time (maybe 45 minutes), did a control alt delete but nothing happened. I had to shut down the computer manually.
