[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1243642] Re: .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start

2016-06-10 Thread Uriel Tunz
@Hélio, only thing I did was upgrade to 16.04 (clean install), copy my xkb file over and load it (xkbcomp $HOME/.xkb/xkb-map $DISPLAY). That's it. Well, it *does* get loaded on each boot via .bashrc (as noted in post 14) when a terminal is auto-opened (put in startup prefs) so not sure it will

Bug is gone in 16.04! .Xmodmap (which IS deprecated) still needs to be converted to xkb (post 14, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1243642/comments/14), but then everything works as before: keyboard map reloads automatically after any number of suspend/hibernate cycles.

Joined this bug thread, then found the cause of the problem -- in my case at least. The connection from PC through AVR to TV was marginal (due to cable length, one coupling connector, cable quality, routing, etc.). The problem was undetectable except by these no speaker allocation for ELD

Yes, different. Editing those system-level files affects keyboard mapping for ALL users. But this bug is about .Xmodmap, which is per-user. My post noted that even xkb maps are lost on suspend/sleep. Converting .Xmodmap files to xkb is straightforward. After manually loading the desired

This bug remains, and the problem is just as bad after converting from an .Xmodmap file to an xkb map: THE FILE MUST BE MANUALLY RELOADED ON AWAKENING. - A script in /etc/pm/sleep.d does not work. - A script on the desktop does not work. - Tearing hair out does not work. Auto-loading the map

Just checked and the setting still exists in latest 12.04.3, but it has no effect at all. Upgrading to 14.04 in two months -- hopefully it will be functional in the new release. This is a valuable feature. It really needs to be restored. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

This fired me up to get rid of libav and install the real ffmpeg. It's not necessary to compile. See my post here: http://askubuntu.com/a/373509/165265 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libav in Ubuntu.

Competition between the two teams (ffmpeg-libav) undoubtedly makes each package better. Given the robust development happening in each camp, should Canonical really be picking the winner/loser here to begin with? Personally, I don't like the symlinks to a lesser release. My inclination is to
