Nirmik's questions

I want to remap the functionality of the front part of middle click and back part of middle click on the Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 model.

According to the answer in this question, I tried the commands but I don't understand what to exactly swap.

Here is the output for the command xinput list-props id# (10 being the device id)

 nirmik@nirmik:~$ xinput list-props 10
Device 'Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:4026':

    Evdev Middle Button Emulation (658):    0
    Evdev Middle Button Timeout (659):  50
    Evdev Third Button Emulation (660): 0
    Evdev Third Button Emulation Timeout (661): 1000
    Evdev Third Button Emulation Button (662):  3
    Evdev Third Button Emulation Threshold (663):   20
    Evdev Wheel Emulation (664):    0
    Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes (665):   0, 0, 4, 5

    Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout (667):    200
    Evdev Wheel Emulation Button (668): 4
    Evdev Drag Lock Buttons (669):  0

And the output of the next command xinput get-button-map 10 is

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 

Now what do I exactly swap to change the middle click to front part of middle click = middle click action. From/instead of front part of middle click = super button

I would Like to know what exactly each does and how they are layered/structured or interrelated to each other, their functions, their interdependence, their communication protocols and when and why they interact and all that stuff!

i would really appreciate a detailed answer, for 2 reasons -

m not very well at this part. the display servers and all, and, all users who encounter this question and the answer can know everything!

Thankyou! :)

I want to know where the deb files that are downloaded during the installation from the software center are stored.

Its easy to download I know, but here in my country, bandwidths are extremely limited and it would be better to get the deb file for te next time rather than waiting a complete night for download!

Aslo, I would like to know where the deb files downloaded during updates are stored.?

Thank you!

In Ubuntu 12.10, by default, the minimize speed had been kept considerably slow in order to let users know where the window has minimized to...

but all of a sudden i noticed that now the speed is as normal as earlier versions! has there been an update that again increased this speed?

What is the command for enabling networking and wireless using command line?

I have made a script that delays the startup apps for quicker boot times.

I have learned that disabling networking also helps in a quicker boot time.

I would like to add a command that shall enable networking and wireless in the shell script.

This basically to do with cuttlefish(The app from showdown) in this case.

I cant find the location of the executable file for it.

The command whereis did not give any results!

I want to add it to my start up applications and thus i need the path!

P.S: the preferences of the app are not showing up and ticking against the start automatically thing when the settings for the 1st time showed up is not working!.

So i need to find out the executable/bin file...

How do i do this?

In Windows, you have an option to group the files according to type in which for example all .txt files are displayed under text files and .exe files under exe or .obj under obj.

I mean all the files of the same extension / type are displayed under the respective groups.

So can I do this in Nautilus?

How can I determine if a process is running or not and then have a bash script execute some stuff based on that condition?

For example:

• if process abc is running, do this

• if it is not running, do that.

I want the same launcher shortcut to act like a ON/OFF switch.

For example, suppose I have made a launcher to start LAMPP with the command:

gksudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

This works properly to start LAMPP. Now, what I want to do is:

• If LAMPP is not on, the launcher should execute the above command and start LAMPP.

• If LAMPP is on, I want to to execute the command

  gksudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
  

  and stop lampp.

I want these two commands to be executed by the same launcher where the command to be executed is decided on the basis of a condition (LAMPP being ON or OFF in the above example).

Can I do this? And how?

I guess writing a bash script and then making the launcher execute the bash script would do it. But then how do I check whether LAMPP is on of off?

I have installed Guake terminal and I find it amazing. I have many scripts added as .desktop files in launcher.

Now I want these scripts to run in the Guake terminal instead of opening in the normal Gnome terminal. How can I achieve this?

The .desktop file is such:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Application
  Terminal=true
  Icon=/path/to/icon/icon.svg
  Name=app-name
  Exec=/path/to/file/mount-unmount.sh
  Name=app-name

I want to know how to enable an android phone to detect the hotspot created under ubuntu so that the phone can use thse internet through it.

I have learnt that Android does not support ad-hoc.I tried changing the setting from ad-hoc to infrastructure..but still did not help..

Any way i can do it? Through the system or any app??

Thanx. :)

After I upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10,Unity has started taking too long to start.

Booting from zero to BURG takes about 3 sec,BURG to login screen takes about 5-7sec...n then login screen to unity takes more than 2 min...why so?

I've even tried stuff like disableing networking and stuff...

I've been on Linux for more than 6 months now but never went too much into the CLI (command-line interface or terminal or shell)

Now as I ask questions here, get answers, or help from other sites, I learn new commands...

How can I can store every new command in a text file? Only new/unique commands, not repetitions of the same command.

Here's an example:

1. In the terminal, I enter the commands like this-

$  command1
$  command2
$  command3
$  command4
$  command1

2. Now, these commands should get saved in a text file say commandrec like this

command1
command2
command3
command4

NOTE: The last command in the terminal which was again command1 is not recorded/saved again in the text file.

And the next time I open the terminal, and enter a new command command 5, it should get appended to the list in commandrec

(but if the command was used earlier on some other date, it should still be ignored. For example, command 1 entered again along with command 5 on a new day/time but command1 not recorded as already used)

3. The commandrec file will be looking something like this

31/05/12 12:00:00
command1
command2
command3
command4
01/06/12 13:00:00
command 5

(the time and date thing would be great if possible, but okay even if that isn't there)

This way, I can have a record of all commands used by me to date.

How can this be done?

I have Precise 12.04 installed as the host OS. In VirtualBox,I also have installed 12.04.

I am not able to connect the Virtual 12.04 to the host internet. I have tried selecting all the available options in the network adapters (NAT,Host only,Bridge,etc), but non of them is working. In the some options some stuff has to be entered manually, which I do not know what to enter.

Where am I going wrong in the settings?

I want to lock updating from the ppa:ricotz/testing repository. I don't want to purge it. I just want to lock the updates from that repository.

How do I do it?

I don't remember how but in 11.10 I had managed to find a few multitouch actions to be supporetd by some software.

Now I am using 12.04, Is there any way/application/workaround/plugin or anything that can provide me with multitouch gestures similar to mac or atleast near to it?

With synaptics I figured out that my touchpad supports 3finger control.

I am using a Samsung NP-RV509-A0GIN.

I want to add some shell scripts in my launcher as shortcuts..

They are located deep inside and i have to navigate to it every time to execute them...

I tried this link where the 2nd answers seems to solvee it but as said in comments neither can i find any option to add a launcher..

I guess it existed in 11.04 with a "+" button on launcher but i use 12.04.

So how do i get this working?? And i need those commands everytime for sure..!

What are the pros and cons of controlling (lowering, or even overclocking) the CPU frequency on a laptop? How can I do it in Ubuntu and will it increase my battery life (as I never play games and stuff)

And do fan speed and CPU frequency have any correlation?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I have 4 NTFS partitions. I have made 2 users: One for myself (Admin) and one for family (standard/non-admin).

I successfully restricted the access to my home folder from this standard user. Now I want to restrict it from accessing ALL my NTFS partitions. How can I do this?

I checked Restrict access from another user to the NTFS partition but though the answer is accepted it doesn't seem to have helped that OP either as seen in the comments later.

This is a weird question to ask, but where are the passwords saved? I mean they must be somewhere for comparing every time. So where are system and network passwords saved?
