Yotam's questions

This is an annoying issue, that should probably be considered as feature request.

Today when I logged into the machine the keyboard layout was in Hebrew, and I was asked to type in my keyring password. Because the layout was Hebrew I couldn't type my keyring password. On the other hand, the keyring prevented me from changing my keyboard layout. Is there a way for me to maintain some activity of my keyboard layout? A related issue is that the keyboard layout prevents me from accessing my Bluetooh connection which might be an issue because I have a Bleutooth keyboard that I might need to reconnect.

If anyone is here because they have had the same issue, I had to edit /etc/default/keyboard/ from terminal (ctrl+alt+F3) and left only the English layout. This is far a from ideal solution.

I've set Ubuntu to use CapsLock to change keyboard layout using gnome-teaks. This works fine, but every time I shut down the computer I have to configure this again. In gnome-tweaks the checkbox is marked, but I have to uncheck it or check it again (or check another option and uncheck it). How can I cancel that?

Thanks

Some information that might be useful
keyboard configuration

yotama9@computer:~$ cat /etc/default/keyboard 
XKBLAYOUT=us,il,gr
XKBVARIANT=alt-intl,,
BACKSPACE=guess

gstring capslock config (right after reboot)

yotama92@computer gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options
['grp:caps_toggle']

I'm sorry for the poor title, I hope I'll make myself clear here.

I have a Lenovo laptop (thinkpad 13 gen2) and a docking station. I connected to the docking station two monitors one via HDMI, and the other via VGA. Now when I try to arrange the monitors it behaves awkwardly:

1. Often, I cannot grab the monitor. The mouse cursor does change to the hand symbol, but it wont grab it.
2. When I manage to grab the monitor, it gets stuck on the corners of the other monitor (top right corner of one to bottom left of the other for example).
3. Many times, the apply button disappear.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

I have a remote machine I need to ssh to using blowfish encryption. I set everything up on my laptop on my previous distro and I have in my config file setup for blowfish. Today I install Ubuntu Gnome and when I try to ssh to whatever machine I get an error

/home/yotam/.ssh/config line 43: Bad cipher 'blowfish'.

I searched what I need to install, but it seems that this should come with the distro. What am I missing?

Telling Ubuntu I'm from Israel sets all sort of locale into Hebrew (as I've asked before). One of these settings is applied for the Gnome Shell (which I use as a DE) and sets the calender to Hebrew. I'm OK with that, but, since Hebrew is RTL language, the RTL tag is applied to the clock which now tells me the time is 48:20, instead of 20:48 (for example). Can I fix this? I know that this might be a bug that I should report, but it might related that I tend to test DE and WM quite often and it might be some clashing setting I should rule out first.

When I ls -l, the output is printed on screen by in a line similar to

drwxrwxr-x  3 yotam yotam     4096 יונ 29 10:27 mnt

the יונ part is Hebrew for JUN. I want it to be in English, that is JUN I guess this is some locale configuration issue. Sadly, I just don't understand Locale settings, and I couldn't find a guide to my liking. My /etc/default/locale file

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="he_IL.UTF-8"

I assume that the LC_TIME variable is the one I want to change, however, I suspect that this will result with changing the entire time format, and not only the month name. Also, I don't know how to do that.

Any thoughts?

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with gnome 3 installed from the regular repositories. I have two issues with the keyboard layout behavior (English and Hebrew):

1. When I switch the keyboard, the indicator on the screen actually show the opposite (Pointing on He when switch to En and vise averse)
2. The keyboard layout isn't separated between windows, even though this is I set it to behave.

Am I the only one who sees this? Is this a known bug?

I also have KDE installed on the machine, but I don't use it.

I have a strange problem. My machine sometimes (more often no than yes) doesn't connect to my home wifi. I can connect to android devices hot spot easily. Windows machine connects as well. Finally, I can use my android devices as a usb wifi card. I know I should put some data here, I don't what technical data I should put, but here are some anecdotes:

1. Currently, my home network doesn't have a password, or spaces in its name.
2. From my experience, if I wait long enough (like an hour) the chances are it will connect are higher.
3. This might be a coincidental, but often, the machine connects right after I plug my phone as WiFi card.
4. I have two Lenovo machines (Edge 13 and ideapad u330p) both doesn't connect. The Edge machine currently runs Arch, but Ubuntu didn't connect with it as well. Interestingly, live USB of Lubuntu connected on the edge machine.

I'm more concerned about the ideapad machine as the edge machine is soon to turn into a stationary machine that connects via cable. So, how do I avoid/handle the mishaps?

Things I have tried:

• Updating the Intel firmware - It still doesn't connect. I note that to stop iwlwifi I have to stop both iwlmvm and iwldvm.

Here is the output of the linked script. I'm at the campus right now, so things might not seem exactly as I described them. To my understanding, the issue is with network card (intel 7260) which has new firmware available, only I didn't find anyway to activate it.

I'm creating a presentation and need to include some animations. I placed the animation in the pdf file using Beamer (after storing the animation in a bunch of png files). Now, when I open the file on Okular or Evince, I don't see any animation. Searching around, I read that Evince doesn't support animations but Okular might support them. Is this true? Is there any other tool you can use?

I searched here and google and all I could find is how in Ubuntu 13.04 forward mtp devices are supported. The answer I found are for ubuntu 12.04 or ubuntu 12.10

Well, I connected my phone in mtp mode and I don't see it on my machine. How can I see it?

Edit: Requested data

This is my phone (Xtreamer q)

I also tried a samsung galaxy s2 device, which popped an error message (unable to mount device). My phone didn't give such mistake.

And this is the output of lsusb and mtp-detect

I guess that the third text line from the bottom is the problem. But I don't what to do with it.

Sometimes, when I wake my laptop from sleep, the touchpad acts funny. The mouse pointer jump on the screen and it is really hard to control the mouse. I tried to turn of and on the touchpad in ubuntu control center, hoping this will unload and load the module and it didn't help. Restarting the machine solve this.

I listen to podcast on my android phone. Since I only listen to podcasts, I want to play a single folder. I am using folderplayer which cannot go into subfolders (at least, I didn't find how to make it do so).

Also, going through the available podcatchers and didn't like any of them.

So, I want to copy all the files which rhythmbox/gpodder downloaded and into a single folder on my device. Is it possible?

I can write a script that does so. But I want to be sure there is no other way first.

I have several DVD I want to transfer to my Hard drive. I want to have the DVD menu and such. Not only the movie. I was sure that ripping the movie will do the trick but it didn't work. What can I do then?

I tried dvd::rip and acidrip. Both aren't that clear to operate.

I've switched to xfce from gnome3. Mainly to experiment. I find the super key effect on gnome shell really useful. Both the showing all windows and the application finder are convenient. Is there a way to achieve this on xfce? (xubuntu 12.10).

Edit:
I'm using Gala windows manager.

I can open a terminal and wget it, or paste it into a web browser, but is there a way to do this from within unity?

I'm using emacs to write my thesis. I need to create a Hebrew abstract. Is there a way to enable right-to-left text display in emacs? (the correct answer should be how can I enable right-to-left text in emacs?)

I'm toying around with building an application to display messages on the screen on a desired intervals.

I want to use cron to achieve that and I am considering my options. The most naive approach would be to print the commands directly into crontab. Is that a bad idea?

I have a machine which is supposed to be a media server. I have tried to install Ubuntu (both alternate and regular i386). The installation (and boot to usb drive) went on fine, but after the install I tried to load the machine and it froze.

In the case of i386 I get the error "hd0 out of disk" and am left with a grub rescue console. set gives:

prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub
root=hd0,msdos1

Following ubuntu wiki, I replaced msdos1 with 1 which didn't work.

In the case of the alternate install, I only get a blinking cursor on the top left (I waited for about two minutes).

If I wait a really long time in the alternate version, I get:

error: no such partition  
grub rescue>

Nothing works in this mode as well. I also tried to replace (hd0,1) with (hd0,sda) or (hd0,0) but this doesn't seam to have an effect.

Install information:

1. Single hard drive
2. Install on a hard drive via usb thumb drive
3. Ubuntu's default hard drive portioning and formatting (use entire hard drive)
4. Ubuntu Natty

How can I fix this?

I have a laptop which I sometimes connect to a screen. The screen is positioned left to the laptop. The unity dock is kept on the laptop screen and does not move to the screen left side (which is the left of my working space). Is there a way to fix that?

When ever I log into my machine (Lenovo Laptop) Ubuntu (Natty running Unity) ask for the keyring password several times (4-5) why does it do that and how can I make it stop?
