Is there any way of being able to EXIT a program without having all my windows to close?

 

EG. Ctrl+Alt+Del and then chose which program you wanna terminate (if its not responding etc)

 

Im on FC4 and FF

 

--------------------------

 

Also, here on the forum I have noticed lately that if I want to respond to a few comments under a same topic, my comments end up squeezed into ONE instead of multiple.

 

Why and what can I do about it?

interesting stuff

 

Quote:Finally Linux has got full read-write open source NTFS support! Preliminary benchmarks show that the still unoptimized driver already sometimes twice as fast as ext3 and 20-50 faster than the commercial Paragon NTFS. Interestingly Captive NTFS, which uses the native Windows NTFS driver, fails all benchmarks with file loss.

In FC4 and FF we were trying to do get the applet to work on a site:

 

But all I get is 'Applet Started' - even after going through EDIT - PREFERENCES - WEB to make sure that pop-ups was allowed on this site. Nothing actually comes up, no changes in our choices either.

 

How can I get it to work?

Going on this webpage, here:

I follow his instructions as best I can, and here is what I did:

 

I changed my xorg.conf mouse section to this:

 

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse[1]"

Driver "evdev"

Option "Buttons" "11"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 5 4"

Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"

Option "Dev Name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1.0A"

Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:10.4-4.4/input0"

Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"

EndSection

 

Then I put this in my xinitrc in /etc/X11/xinit:

 

imwheel -k -b "8967"

 

Then, in imwheelrc in my home directory, I addded these lines to the latest stable version of imwheel that I configured and installed:

 

"screen"

Control_L, Button5, Control_L|a|n

Control_L, Button4, Control_L|a|p

None, Left, Control_L|a|n

None, Right, Control_L|a|p

 

I *didn't* add these lines he instructed his readers to do, because I thought that it had to do with making the forward and back buttons 4 and 5 NOT work as forward and back, but as button 2, which I didn't want:

 

".*"

None, Button5, Button2

None, Button4, Button2

Control_L, Button5, Alt_L|Left

Control_L, Button4, Alt_L|Right

Shift_L, Button5, Button1|Home

Shift_L, Button4, Button1|End

 

Guys, do you think that I should have used some of those lines, say the bottom four?

 

Then I added the following lines to ~/.xemacs/init.el

 

;; mouse-wheel: scroll

(global-set-key 'button4 'scroll-down-command)

(global-set-key 'button5 'scroll-up-command)

 

;; tilt-wheel: go to previous/next buffer

;; ERC (emacs Internet Relay Chat) users may prefer binding

;; erc-track-switch-buffer

(global-set-key 'button6 'switch-to-previous-buffer)

(global-set-key 'button7 'switch-to-next-buffer)

 

at the end

 

then, finally, I added this to the end of imwheelrc:

 

"[Gg]aleon(-bin)?"

None, Left, Control_L|Page_Up

None, Right, Control_L|Page_Down

 

Plus I went into firefox and about:config and changed the mousewheel.horizscroll setting, only the

mousewheel.horizscroll.withcontrolkey.sysnumlines to true

 

Now, after doing those things, I can scroll but when I click the forward and back buttons (4 and 5 thumb buttons) it scolls up or down by a few lines with each depress, instead of going forward and back, and using the tilt function of the mousewheel makes Firefox go back and forward webpages I have browsed.

 

Can anyone suggest anything, I think I am getting closer here, but I am a bit confused, he talks about how:

 

So our thumb-buttons (8,9) are (4,5) inside imwheel

 

And,

 

Since 8,9 in X are 4,5 inside of imwheel, they're 6,7 inside of xemacs. Sure, we could make a special case for xemacs in ~/.imwheelrc, but just for practice, here goes (~/.xemacs/init.el snippet):

 

So I am under the impression that the different programs see the mouse buttons as being different numbers, and what I think is worse is that with SuSE 10.1 things got mixed up more, because I have to have my mouse.sh files in /home/bucky/.kde/Autostart reading as this:

 

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 8 9 4 5 6 7 10 11"

 

I am wondering if I should eliminate mouse.sh by temporarily renaming it and moving it to a non Autostart directory, and if I should add the lines ( in imwheelrc):

 

".*"

None, Button5, Button2 [NOT use this line]

None, Button4, Button2 [Not use this line]

Control_L, Button5, Alt_L|Left

Control_L, Button4, Alt_L|Right

Shift_L, Button5, Button1|Home

Shift_L, Button4, Button1|End

 

So I am going to try those things and then see what happens, if anyone has any ideas or knows of how I can figure out which mouse button is which for these programs, HELP, please!

 

What is happening now is that my thumb buttons do nothing, the scroll wheel scrolls normally, but the tilt of the scroll wheel moves me forward or backward to webpages I have browsed, so evidently, the tilt wheel is doing what the thumb buttons are supposed to do. I have been trying different things to no avail. Can someone talk me through this somehow, or give me ideas.

 

I ran xev, and my mouse, the first button is the left mouse button normal, the middle (tilt wheel) button is normal as button 2, and the right button is normal as button 3. xev shows the scroll part of the scroll wheel to be 4 and 5 for up and down, and the tilt part of the wheel as 6 and 7. xev shows the thumb buttons to be 8 and 9.

 

I tried putting 9 in the place of 5 and 8 in the place of 4 in the above and that changed nothing, which surprises the heck out of me. Can someone help me here, please?

Here's a nice wall for you

hi

 

I was following the steps givenin the article " making custom linux inst. cd. " from the article :

[/url][url=<___base_url___>/lofiversi...x.php/t688.html][/url][url=<___base_url___>/lofiversi...x.php/t688.html]https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/lofiversi...x.php/t688.html

 

Everything seems to have gone ok until the 13th step ( which ofcouse is the most essential one )....

 

when i punch in the command : rpm --test --dbpath /tmp/testdb -Uvh *.rpm

 

it results in a : error : " File not found by glob: *.rpm "

 

I'm totally lost.... can any one help????

hello members

 

Guess this is a really dumb question for u geeks out there, but am just

a beginner & therefore wud appreciate a detailed reply....

 

I have just copied the first CD of FedoraCore5 onto my HDD... It has

around 670 RPM's... well, I have deleted around 200 RPM's ( am in the

process of learning to Strip packages down )...

 

I have gone thru the functionality of each package before i have deleted it... fust FYI, its not been done randomly.....

 

My question is, Do I now just Burn this new ( changed CD1 folder ) as

an Image ??? Or are there any config files / other files that need to

be changed before i can do this?????

 

I realise that this is not a very straight forward process & doing a basic install & then deciding on packages is probably a better idea... Unfortunately this is a project requirement, therefore Plz help me out...

 

Thanks in advance.....

Well, I'm getting fed up with all the hullabaloo with crappyM$ software, so I thought I'd make the switch to Linux. I download a copy of Knoppix 4.0 Live and was thoroughly impressed. Its been awhile since I've touched Linux or Unix (way back when 10" floppy disks were around), so I figured what the heck.

 

Not sure what OS I'll run when I'm up to speed (uBuntu or Fedoa Core), so I'll muck around a bit.

 

I'm currently downloading Knoppix 5.0 - simply becuase I want a HDD install on my IBM T22 notebook, that doesn't seem to like ANY DVD .ISOs of XP. Why on DVD - damn IBM BIOS updates are needed to boot from CDR in the DVD drive.

 

So one quicky question --> is there a IE version I can run on Knoppix, or should I just use Firefox with the IE Tab to download?

 

Oh yeah - is there a really great driver site for Linux that someone can refer me to ?? Just way too many threads here to search in depth. I specifically need a linux driver for my wireless 802.11b PCMCIA card - WiFIManager doesn't recognize the card and neither does cardmgr.

 

Help is much appreciated in my early start.

 

Thanks again,

Hello.

 

I am trying to install SUSE 10.0 from genuine Novell installation CDs on a Intel Dual P3 850's with 2 Gigs RAM and 4 SCSI drives (2 17 gig and 2 137 gig). I got the server off e-bay. The server works...it had KNOPPIX on it.

 

The problem... After many many attempts, SUSE will not prompt me to insert the 2nd CD. It keeps going to the installation slash page. Am I missing something? I have installed it with ACPI off and on... same results.

 

Any help will be gladly appreciated.

I found this in an online magazine.

 

Two pictures, same woman...

 

Skarey!
