I Need Tips About Where To Find Knowledge.

Wireless mouse and wireless keyboard is not working in Linux distro's.

Read the similar threads on this issue. Boot mode is set for UEFI and Legacy therefore not sure what to do to enable mouse and keyboard? The mouse and keyboard use the same 'receiver' and the receiver indicator is green when Linux distro is fully loaded. Have tried various distro's, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu based distro's using LIVE DVD method on all. Latest distro tried is Peach 14.04.1 TW.40 64 bit. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, CPU AMD FX6300 3.5 Ghz six core.

Thanks for any assistance.

As my subject line states I am trying to upgrade the MOBO/CPU/RAM on a system that has Mandrake 9.2 as the OS. Everything is terribly outdated on it, but unfortunately the OS is running a custom program that I did not develop and talking to the developer seems to be an impossible task. I have no working knowledge of any Linux based OS, so I am trying to get pointed in the right direction on possible troubleshooting that may occur. The system is not connected to the internet so it wont be able to automatically update the necessary drivers that I already know. I haven't gone forward with the upgrades as of yet, one because I am waiting on the CPU to arrive and two because my lack of knowledge makes me hesitant. I know that someone is thinking why not just upgrade the OS, the reason behind that is because I am unsure on if the custom software will even run on it. Any help would be appreciated.

tl;dr
Will I be able to just plug and play the new hardware as long I have the correct drivers?

I am using Debian 7 KVM in a cloud and I find the keyboard buffer in a terminal window is about 35 characters in length thus when I run my keyboard emulator, I have to pause after 35 keys in order not to overflow the buffer.

I want to be able to login and dump the instructions to the KVM server then go to the next one. e.g If I wanted a mass roll out of Yacy search engines or other applications.

I know no Human can type that fast. But my Program can on the PS2 interface.

Hi, all! So I am taking a Linux O/S class for my degree requirements. The book we are using is "Linux Bible" - 8th ed. by Christopher Negus. Per our instructor, I am accessing Fedora via Oracle VM VirtualBox. Negus refers to a Windows keyboard when he instructs us to enter, for example, Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open a virtual console. Where can I find a list of MAC keyboard equivalent key combos or will I have to assign them myself?

My instructor was no help with this question and told me I would have to scour the Internet which i have to no avail.

I have an assignment due and I can't follow along until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm a new linux user. I also use Windows 7.

I write in English & French using the USA International Keyboard on Windows ... this works well with 'overstike' (eg, '+e = é). I'm sure there's a linux term for this.

I don't mind making a full keyboard definition myself, but I don't know how & there must be a simple way to get this done.

I really need a full, detailed reference to doing this ... including where to find the various directories (I HAVE found the 'Terminal', but that's it !).

Just a link to a doc or wiki would be welcome ... the web searches I've done have given answers that are too cryptic for my level.

TIA.

Hi,

Xubuntu on an old Mac Mini.
I don't know how to do much so please give basic instructions.

I use my power button to put the computer to sleep. Only the power button wakes it up again. It used to wake if I jiggled my mouse or pressed any key.

Is there something I can do so the mouse or keyboard will wake it up?

I'm using a Swedish keyboard and switch to English for certain terminal commands. I use English as the system language. In both mint 13 and 15 I was able to keep the Swedish layout after restart; now I have to set the keyboard to Swedish after every restart. In 15 it was possible to have a persistent keyboard layout which differed from the system language. I think it was throught regional settings. In 13 I seem to remember using a command from the terminal which I can neither remember or find. Its not a big thing to set the keyboard layout after restart but its rather annoying. Any suggestions?

Hey-yo,
I have problems with my keyboard and mouse sometimes when I turn my laptop on. They're just not working. Somewhere I read that it has to do with a so-called "blind registration" and that I only have to tip in my password. But no matter how many times I do that it doesn't work. I'll always have to turn off my laptop and turn it on again, hoping that it works.
I only have Linux for two months and that's the only problem I got until now. Please help ^-^'
