[Bug 418470] Re: USB Gamepad detected as mouse (Speedlink 360 style)

2012-12-15 Thread mark bower
O.K. The following code when executed delinks the mouse pointer from
joystick movements. The sequence: 1)open a terminal, 2)enter the script
file on the cmd line, 3)plug in the rc-controller(see the mouse move to
left), 4)with some skill get the uncooperative mouse cursor to pass over
the terminal screen and click on it to make it active, 5)hit return to
execute the script. And voilla, the cursor returns to normal behavior.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#file:  script_rccontroller.sh
#use to disable mouse emulation from controller sticks(joysticks)
#get NAME for controller from xinput list

NAME='WAILLY PPM'

ids=$(xinput list | grep  $NAME | grep -o -e id=.. | xargs | sed s/id=//g)
for id in $ids; do
echo Disabling Mouse/Key events for ID $id
xinput set-prop $id Generate Mouse Events 0
xinput set-prop $id Generate Key Events 0
done

But even tho the code works, I get the two error msgs:
property Generate Mouse Events doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and 
format
property Generate Key Events doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and 
format

Can anyone suggest the syntax to eliminate these error msgs. And again,
please refer to the link (item 36) in my 1st post to see what I am
trying to adapt for my use.

The code in posts 26 and 34 worked for me on 12.04LTS.  However, is
there a way to make a script or launcher that could be selected when
needed off of the desktop to run:  xinput set-prop 11 713 0   xinput
set-prop 11 714 0 (example as my numbers differ)

[Bug 49127] Re: Long file names are truncated without warning

2011-04-01 Thread mark bower
I have the problem in Ubuntu 10.10.  I burn using Brasero with long
photo file names(up to maybe 120  characters).  No problems with any
applications or file  management in Ubuntu.  But I need to share the
photos with relatives who are using XP, and some on Win7.  Opening the
CD in XP, the file names become 8.3.

But note, when sending a long file name out of Ubuntu as an attachment,
and receiving it in XP, the long file name is retained.  Put the  file
on the desktop and it can be used  like any other file.

[Bug 374782] Re: Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Permission denied after upgrade to 9.04

2010-01-07 Thread mark bower
tz

i have solved the problem.  the key is in SysAdminPrintingNew
PrinterOther.  by selecting Other, a URI request is made, and in it
one enters bluetooth://MAC addr where MAC addr is the addr of my
BT-200 which is connected to the HP 4 printer parallel port.  the
epiphany came when i started working with Ubuntu 9.10.  but on a
computer with 9.04, i made the requisite URI entry and the computer
easily connect to the printer.  it of course seems simple and somewhat
obvious now, but this is how these things nearly always go.  at any
rate, i am now moving completely to the linux (Ubuntu) platform save for
ACAD2000 (which i still will try to get to work under WINE.

thanks again for all your time and support.

[Bug 374782] Re: Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Permission denied after upgrade to 9.04

2010-01-04 Thread mark bower
I remmed out all lines in /etc/bluetooth/ rfcomm.conf and ran rfcomm
-a.  it returned the MAC addr, channel and clean.  the lines are
1)rfcomm0, 2)bind yes 3)device  MAC 4)channel 1 (no # parentheses of
course).

rebooted computer and ran/get the following:
ro...@rocky-desktop:~$ sudo rfcomm connect 0 00:08:f4:23:28:71
Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:08:F4:23:28:71 on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup

in all cases, i continue to run test printer (with printer on) but msg
still returns ' Idle - Unable to open device file /dev/rfcomm0:
Permission denied'

I set the URI to serial:/dev/rfcomm0 (CUPS GUI ?) believing this to be
correct to set up a virtual com port for the printer which is what
BlueSoleil does.  I assume that this is correct?  It is my understanding
that we are trying to direct the printer to go out thru a virtual com
port.

from your suggested rfcomm connect cmd, it would seem that
/dev/rfcomm0 is by-passed since everything is remmed in rfcomm.conf?

and i tried the following with result:
ro...@rocky-desktop:~$ sudo rfcomm -r connect 0 00:08:f4:23:28:71
Can't connect RFCOMM socket: Device or resource busy

so does any of this produce possibilities?  i see that BlueSoleil under
XP sets up on COM port 4 if that means anything?

i have now added the file rfcomm.rules (contents 'KERNEL==rfcomm,
GROUP=dialout ') to the rules.d directory.  still get the permission
denied msg when attempting to print a test page.  your explanation of
this patch was better than original which i did not understand.  i am in
9.04 (jaunty).  i have the 9.10 disk on order, but would hope to solve
this problem more immediately - CD may not arrive for weeks.

tz, i also tried the very first code offered by Paolo C. namely i added
the following line to the rc.local files located at  /etc/ and
/etc/init.d/:

sudo chown usernames: users /dev/rfcomm0.  i also tried changing in
both rc.local files the line to sudo chown usernames:rocky
/dev/rfcomm0.  still permission denied.  perhaps i have not entered the
lines correctly or correct syntax?

in all cases FILE = /dev/rfcomm0

after boot, ls cmd, the FILE has permissions crw-rw l root root
after sudo su  chmod 777, ls cmd, the FILE has permissions crwxrwxrwx.  at 
this point tried test print, but permission denied.
reboot, ls cmd, FILE reverts to original permissions, ie crw-rw .

cat cmd, FILE result is permission denied.
after sudo su, cat cmd FILE, cmd prompt is lost and have to close terminal to 
reset.

wc cmd produces same results as cat.

i do not understand why permissions once changed do not become
permanent?  does the previous give us any hints as to the permission
problem?

ref #16.  there were no errors with either cat or wc other than
permission denied.  when i executed those cmds with sudo, then in both
cases the terminal freezes.  what does the cmd line entry look like to
show what krfcommd is pointing at?

i looked at mknod, but did not see how the C there relates to the file
prefix permission C?  it is probably a little over my head anyway.

9.04 user.  I am trying to use /dev/rfcomm0 to reach to a bluetooth
printer adapter (and get the permission denied msg).  I read what Paolo
C. did as a work around, but I am inexperienced as to what specifically
to enter on cmd line?  His comments are,

Manually adding:
$ sudo chown username:users /dev/rfcomm0
to rc.local fixed the issue.

so i tried:  sudo chown rocky /dev/rfcomm0  and that did not work  (rocky is my 
user name)
then i tried:  sudo chown rc.local /dev/rfcomm0 and that did not work, would 
not accept format

so seeing what I am trying to do, could you please supply specifc code
lines needed.  I have ordered 9.10 which I understand fixes the problem.

the commands (hcitool, sdptool search sp BT-200 MAC addr, sudo l2ping
MAC addr, ls /dev/rfcomm0, and use of bluetooth setup via the tool bar

without errors.  the dongle clearly communicates with the BT printer

print wirelessly simular to use of BlueSoleil which worked with the same
equipment via XP.  i set all the permissions to rwx on the /dev/rfcomm0
file believing that might help.  the initial post in this thread
indicates a work around for the problem, but fixed in 9.10?

using the Sys/Admin/Printing I set the URI to to serial:/dev/rfcomm0.
when i use print test page then get the error msg which says Cannot
