I'm trying to the get the following script to run https://github.com/kentonv/dvorak-qwerty/blob/master/unix/dvorak-qwerty.stp

It fails with the following error on install.

When trying to run sudo stap -g dvorak-qwerty.stp -v it fails with regardless of -dbg being appending to the apt install.

I would like to execute a keyboard Ctrl+L shortcut from the terminal. In details, I would like to remap Alt+C to Ctrl+C on my keyboard. Alt+C remapping it is not hard triggering Ctrl+C seems to be tricky

Is this possible?

I have a JIS keyboard with Katana & Hiragana keys I am trying to bind Control keys.

I tried editing the following file JIS Keyboard Layout Keyboard Characters but it fails to change the keyboard keys.

Is there a way to bind keys using keycode for Ctrl+L, etc... I need Hiragana to me mapped to control essentially but it doesn't seem possible.

I am on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS running on Windows Subsystem for Linux.

I would like an up to date easy guide of setting up a P9 server so I can access linux files from Windows.

Is there a feasible way to essentially just download a .img file of an already working Ubuntu distribution that I can write directly to my hard drive?

Pretty much any default would work fine for me but i spend most of my time every couple months burning it to a thumb drive and then waiting for the installation to work/finish.

I have connected to my Ubuntu box using its serial port on windows(using putty connection is working fine.)

According to the question https://serverfault.com/questions/892892/how-to-use-ssh-over-serial-without-using-pppd-or-how-to-transfer-tcp-over-ser, it appears I should be able to SSH into the machine over a serial port.

What packages are needed or alternatively how do I set this up?

I type on JIS keyboard layout on my Ubuntu computer.

Unfortunately xev only shows the keycode values and doesn't really help with actually changing the values. I can't seem to figure how to assign the unused keys on my JIS keyboard.

Could someone provide a similar picture or names for the JIS keys? There are 5 additional keys on JIS keyboard.

I currently I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 on MacbookPro8,1.

I have found the following guides 12.04 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2#Wireless and 14.04 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Trusty .

Both Ubuntu 14 and 16 don't boot by live CD on this laptop. I have read it has to do with editing the grub but I was wonder if there is a non GUI option that would avoid this issue.

I need flash support to do some of my school work.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. How do I download flash? This post says support has ended for flash.

Although it does say Google Chrome supports flash, but it won't let me download Google Chrome on Google's website. Chromium appears to not come with flash.

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by 
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate

Is there a way to run multiple chrome's so there are multiple icons on ubuntu?

Chrome canary is not available for Ubuntu. Chromium can be buggy.

Is there an easy way to mask my Ubuntu laptop so it looks like a Chromebook?

Chromebooks are pretty common today, and I would prefer for sites not to know I was running a Ubuntu laptop.

I understand Terminal by default doesn't support PgDn and PgUp but is there an alternative to the linux terminal that supports this?

Cygwin has an option to enable this so I would assume linux does also.

EDIT:I have changed the location of my page down and page up on my keyboard and this appears to not work there. I do not have page down and page up keys on my keyboard.

How do I install autokey in the latest version of Ubuntu 16?

It isn't in the ubuntu software center. How do I run a command line command to build such.

I would like to set the right Alt key as a Page up key.

Currently I have the following set which gets half of what I want done.

key <MENU> { [ Next ] };

I have tried xmodmap and it doesn't work for reassigning the right alt key.

Thank you!

Is it possible to have single click on the dock icons activate expose by default?

If you have a single window open in ubuntu it doesn't activate expose but if you have multiple windows open it does. This cause issues when I tried to use expose on several different windows in ubuntu.

Let's assume I have added the following keyboard map in /usr/share/X11/xkb/us. Why can't use the the keyboard key as a Pointer Button.

partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "alt-intl" {
  name[Group1]= "English (US, alternative international)";
  include "us"
  key <AB04> { [ Pointer_Button1 ]};
};

How do I install the qemu command?

I type qemu and press tab and I get a list of several binaries installed.

qemu-alpha
qemu-arm
...
qemu-x86_64

but no qemu.

I type man qemu and it returns the docs as if the command is already installed.

I type qemu to run the command but it doesn't exist?

No command 'qemu' found, did you mean:
 Command 'qtemu' from package 'qtemu' (universe)
 Command 'aqemu' from package 'aqemu' (universe)
qemu: command not found

But after installing sudo apt-get install qtemu aqemu I'm still unable to run qemu.

I'm just attempting to run the following command qemu -localtime -net user -net nic -m 256 -cdrom minix.iso -hda minix.img -boot d, for a minix tutorial.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a chording software for ubuntu. For using chorded combinations for typing only with one hand.

I'm fairly certain one exists because I read about it a couple months ago.
