Do you need to make a backup of the existing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us file first?
If not, or if you have already made the backup, then you should just be able to run: wget -qO- http://limeblack.github.io/dvorak/us | sudo tee /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
That downloads the file (not as root) and, as it is downloads it, outputs it (as root) both to your terminal and to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us, which is overwritten if it already exists.
So, that command is not displaying correctly in chat, sorry.
Wow. I have no idea how to write code properly in chat. I feel like this is something I once knew how to do. :)
The correct command has http:// at the start of the URL, and is the command shown at: paste.ubuntu.com/23801774
That might well be what you want. However, if you want the exact same behavior as having them on separate adjacent lines in a script, that's ;.
I frequently use && btw -- it's handy. I'm not saying you need to prefer ; over it or anything. Just know your second command might not get executed, depending on what happens with the first command.
That's totally up to you. I'm not desperate for more rep :), but I'd be pleased to answer the question if you post it on the site. I might even add something about an alternate way to do it with a shell for loop (also on one line). Of course, I could just mention that here in chat, too.
If you think it will help people who read it, then please do post something. Even if you just think the post might be useful to you in the future, I'd suggest going ahead and posting. But you don't have to feel obligated toward me to do it.
Of course, even if you do decide to post it, you can post it later if you're busy now. If you do end up posting a question about this, please let me know. :)
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!
I'm searching for a way to remap certain keys in ubuntu.
i.e.
I'd like to change PgUp to Home or PgDown to End.
Does a built-in command or a tool exist reassign keys in Ubuntu/GNOME?
Well I don't actually know that much about remapping keys. If you have a new answer to the question of how to do it, I think you should go ahead and post an answer.
So I installed plasma and it is messing with my cursor in unity (some cursor stuff that doesn't exist on unity cursors fall back to default one of KDE, like busy one), anyone knows a fix?

Actually, I was feeling kind of energy-less today as well. Hope I'm not getting no flues here because ain't nobody haz time for that - school starts next week
Yeah, but we can DDoS each other over internet, lol. Wouldn't it be great if people solved disputes via DDoS'ing each other instead of brawls or guns ?
Not much of a story, I'd say. So I've been watching panda.tv , it's one of those Chinese streaming sites. Some western folks watch it, too, because of DOTA. I signed up because there's a youtube channel who sometimes streams there. And I found this one girl , who just basically does dancing - just that. About a week ago or so she kicked me out of her fan group because I was saying hi to all new people
Next time she was streaming, I asked like "What's up ? why'd you kicked me out?" Couple times, she basically totally ignored my messages. And now it's been couple days since her last stream, i haven't received any notifications that her channel went live
Well, yeah, maybe because I was saying hi or maybe because she didn't believe I'm actually a foreigner . Or just weird . . . which would be true, because that's like, my greatest quality :)
hi @NathanOsman. How are you enjoying the second coming of Torvalds that is systemd?
see, the brilliance of systemd is that instead of breaking up and calling lots of separate things at boot like upstart/init does is that it handles everything making for a more seamless boot procedure where everything's working at once. I mean, yeah, binary logs are annoying, but systemd's definitely a good step in optimization and a unified environment.
which is why i don't get the hate for systemd. upstart did the same thing, but upstart just called everything else instead of doing it itself.
> I don't actually have any particularly strong opinions on systemd itself. I've had issues with some of the core developers that I think are much too cavalier about bugs and compatibility, and I think some of the design details are insane (I dislike the binary logs, for example), but those are details, not big issues.

It takes serious, really serious juju for people to start talking. Also, the problem is that people have no idea about what encryption , or basic internet security is
@KazWolfe that's the point. People need to know what the heck is that thing that is going on , otherwise it's just bunch of tech mumbo jumbo and they've no idea to be for this or against this
I understand Terminal by default doesn't support PgDn and PgUp. I do not have PgDn and PgUp on my keyboard, but have them remapped to different keys currently and therefore Shift+PgDn doesn't work. I have also tried Fn+Up. How can I make Terminal recognize my remapped paging keys?
