similar to: 3rd and 4th keys keymapped in Keyboard Layout???

Hi! I'm trying to set up a fully virtualized server using Xen; both host and guest operating system is CentOS-5.2. Otherwise it seems to work fairly well, but I can't get my finnish keyboard work correctly for the guest (when using virt-viewer. No problems on the host). In the beginning, using default settings, the behaviour was as if the keyboard layout had been set to "U.S.

Hello, I have a strange problem with a game: I want to assign the key on the left side to the number "one" (degree key in Germany) to an action in a program, but the application does not recognize the button if I start the application normally. If I set in gnome my default keyboard-layout to a US-layout it works fine. But I don't want my default keyboard layout to be a US-layout, so

Hi, I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France). I've been 100% GNU/Linux for the past five years, and I recently switched from Slackware to CentOS, for the sake of comfort. Overall impression: I like it! I have a few problems to solve yet in my migration effort, mostly minor annoyances. First things first. I need three different keyboard layouts: de, fr_CH and fr. I'm

Damjan, Glad to hear that worked for you. I don't know if the gnome people can make this very much easier. Different version of different linux distros might invoke hibernate differently. How would they know which one to map to the lid button? Also, some people might want to invoke sleep rather than hibernate. If there were system commands which were persistent over all distros and

One of the build options for a laptop I'm looking at buying is DVD vs Blu-Ray. I've never used Blue-ray before, so is there some compelling reason, as a Linux guy, to want to get Blu-ray?

For about a week now yum has tried and failed to update skypeforlinux: Packages skipped because of dependency problems: ??? skypeforlinux-8.10.0.4-1.x86_64 from skype-stable Processing Dependency: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.20)(64bit) for package: skypeforlinux-8.10.0.4-1.x86_64 Is there any resolution to this issue?

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with CentOS 7 and KDE 4.14, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised. This is one of the cleanest implementations of KDE I've ever seen, and with some tweaking (a lot, in fact) this can be turned into a highly functional desktop with all the bling and bells and whistles. But right now, I have some minor problems to solve. First things first. My system is

This error: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: debug. Please verify its path and try again occurs every time I run yum (and is where execution stops).

The machine hosting all llvm.org services will be down briefly tomorrow morning US Central time for network maintenance.

Alright, I just installed KDE in an existing VirtualBox VM (so that I can easily undo everything later) that used to be "fully Germanized", and then tried to switch the whole

Though I've worked with enterprise systems, I'm not familiar with FOOS backup software. Which of those recommended would allow me to backup a system while users are active on it? If it matters the system uses LVM. I'd also like to be able to avoid needing the network if possible. That is, I'd plug in a disk into a USB port and backup the system onto that... again, while
