[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
The bug is still unsolved in 2012. It happened two times to beginners that belong to my LUG. In 2010: http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/linuxarverne.org/discussions/2010/04/msg00024.html And recently: http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/linuxarverne.org/discussions/2012/01/msg0.html Fortunately they are using libre software for a long time now and are convinced by free software philosophy, but I can imagine what could happen to other beginners facing this problem. They both use Ubuntu 10.04 but I used an up-to-date debian sid with gnome shell 3.2, and the Shift+NumLock still activates the option (whose is now in the universal access menu and not in the keyboard menu). When will this feature be disabled? If not, is it possible to change the combination to a more-difficult-to-accidentaly-strike-it one, such as Ctrl+Alt+NumLock? ** Also affects: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 Title: mouse keys turns on randomly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/192508/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
Ah, a comment in that thread is the key to this, I think - shift numlock is the hotkey that turns the feature on and off. I bet that I've been hitting that shortcut accidentally. Since it's such a destructive shortcut (i.e. it wrecks the number pad's function) could this bug be resolved by popping up an obvious-but-automatically-disappearing alert when the shortcut is selected? And, could we have an option in the settings dialog for mousekeys to permanently disable the shortcut?

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
Ok, this bug may still have a low priority but it's still annoying me and I can't help reporting about it. Right now I'm experimenting something I couldn't test before (because I didn't have the chance to physically access the machine when it occurred): I was logged remotely on the Ubuntu box (running at the moment 2.6.28-11-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:48:10 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux, with embedded vino remote desktop server) from a Windows machine (does this matter?) via TightVNC client. [The two pcs are now in the same room. I'm using vnc to get advantage of the shared clipboard feature for some work I'm doing.] Anyway, I was trying to input some numbers with the numpad, in the vnc window, but with no luck. I tried the shortcut (always in the vnc window), even knowing it never worked before and wouldn't now. I tried the same, and of course there was no surprise. So I reached the server keyboard and pressed shift+numlock to regain functionality. The strange behavior is that the numkeys are now perfectly working locally... but still don't work via VNC... *in the exact same moment* (of course I did not ended the active session). BUT if I keep the shift key pressed while using the numpad from vnc, it works as intended, that is, the arrow keys, home, del and so on. Also, there seem to be no way to make numpad work via vnc again: I tried, in order, starting a new vnc session, closing the old, starting a few new ones and closing them all (first included), disabling and re-enabling remote desktop access and then just disabling and enabling control... nothing. The last resource seems to be the reboot. Is there any way (for me, since no one does) to debug the vnc server and try to see where does it fail to catch/decode the numerical keys sent? Any help is greatly appreciated... And, this has already been asked but repetita iuvant, is there a way to completely remove this feature from the face of the kernel? Or should I just give in and move on, perhaps installing a vnc server different from the officially suggested one hoping the problem is just related to vino?

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
I've had this issue for a while too. Indeed, pressing shift-numlock enables/disables the feature. I don't intentionally press that, and the only time I hit numlock is when the pad is not in number-mode. I do however use NXclient continuously -- not VNC, but a different kind of terminal server client. And, interestingly enough: when I have the mousekeys enabled on my desktop and disabled in the terminal-client, I get both behaviours: a moving mouse and key input. (And the keyboard numlock light can get out of sync with the terminal-client, but that could very well be an unrelated issue.) At least the shift-numlock shortcut is good to know.

I can confirm the random activation of num pad as mouse keys via VNC. In my case the other end is usually Chicken of the VNC on OSX - so it's something in the VNC/Gnome end of things.

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
Ok, since this bug is really annoying to me (and I can't help trying to understand/solve all the small problems I stumble over), I ran some other test. I hope some skilled programmer would like to investigate further and fix this. While I was trying to fix a completely different problem related to the keyboard layout, I discovered xev and now I just tried it to see what happens when I press keypad numbers on the vnc client... the result is that when NumLock is disabled, the arrows keys are generated (working as intended), but when NumLock is enabled (and numbers should result) NO EVENT is generated. It doesn't matter if mouse keys are turned on or off, no key press is detected. Not even the NumLock pressure is detected, and obviously the Shift+NumLock shortcut neither. Locally, it all works as expected, and the shortcut is also recognized as Pointer_EnableKeys. So I'm even more sure than before that the bug lies in the vnc server code, since I tried two clients (RealVNC and TightVNC) and it'd sound strange to me if they both had the same bug. My vnc server is vino, that comes pre-installed. Can anyone confirm? Maybe some good soul manages to work this out.

Re: [Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
Good idea to use xev to determine what X is seeing. I have two machines with full-size US keyboards, including the keypad. Both are running Ubuntu 8.10 and Gnome 2.24 with the latest packs installed. Both have vino enabled and I am using vinagre to connect to the remote server. I used the command xev | grep KeyPress -A 2 -B 2 to filter out keypresses. I pressed the keypad 4, keypad 6, and NumLock key sequential on both computers. The results are below, one line for each key and if multiple KeyPress events were generated for a key, they are seperated by a semicolon ;. Only keys on the local computer are actually being pressed. Local computer only: NumLock ON 4: 0xffb4, KP_4 6: 0xffb6, KP_6 NL: 0xff7f, Num_Lock Local computer only: NumLock OFF 4: 0xff96, KP_Left 6: 0xff98, KP_Right NL: 0xff7f, Num_Lock Local: Numlock ON, Remote: NumLock ON 4: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff96, KP_Left; 0xff7f, Num_Lock 6: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff98, KP_Right; 0xff7f, Num_Lock NL: Local: Numlock ON, Remote: NumLock OFF 4: 0xff96, KP_Left 6: 0xff98, KP_Right NL: Local: Numlock OFF, Remote: NumLock ON 4: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff96, KP_Left; 0xff7f, Num_Lock 6: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff98, KP_Right; 0xff7f, Num_Lock NL: Local: Numlock OFF, Remote: NumLock OFF 4: 0xff96, KP_Left 6: 0xff98, KP_Right NL: So from this it looks like the Local NumLock state is being ignored and that some part of the VNC is trying very hard to ensure that the Remote X server is seeing keypresses as if NumLock were off. Incidentally, this is the same setup that was seeing Mouse Keys being enabled when using VNC, though I did not experience it when I did these test. -- mouse keys turns on randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
I decided to try to run some tests, to better understand the situation in which the bug would occur, and I just discovered that right now (I'm logged via remote desktop) the keypad keys seem to work as intended only when Num Lock is turned off, i.e. acting as the arrow keys (plus page up/down etc.) but if I enable Num Lock they just do... nothing. They not even seem to work as mouse keys. It doesn't matter the function status, I tried to enable/disable it manually in the control panel (since the keyboard shortcut doesn't work via remote desktop) but nothing changes. Which conclusion would you draw from this? IMHO, that the bug just involves the remote desktop server (I tried two different clients) that is, in my case, the embedded vino. Of course it would be nice to see how would the keys behave right now locally, but I won't have access to this pc until monday morning, so this test can't be run. I hope this little do-it-yourself analysis can help in some way... if you need any details feel free to ask, I'm constantly monitoring this discussion. -- mouse keys turns on randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Re: [Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
I just found out what probably causes it for me. This is silly. and slightly embarassing. In keyboard preferences layouts kb layout options caps lock key behaviour I had caps lock behavior set to caps lock toggles Shift so all keys are affected. This is not the default setting (although I can't remember changing it). As a result pressing the numlock key while caps lock was enabled in effect triggers a shift+numlock which enables mousekeys. Setting the caps lock key behaviour back to default ensures that numlock only enables/disables numlock even with capslock enabled (as you'd expect). This almost certainly solved it for me. The link with VNC/RDP here -for me at least, is probably just the fact that I use capslock on the remote machine.

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
Ok, this may not be a high priority bug, but after 10 months, the bug is still there? FWIW, I also use tsclient (so as client, to connect to a windows machine) and it may be related to the mouse keys switching on, but its hard to find a pattern, and it occurs even when tsclient is not running. But without having run tsclient during a session, I have not yet encountered it afaict. Once you know what is happening, and you know shift+numlock disables it again, it is no drama. But most users will not read this and think ubuntu can not even drive a keyboard without errors. In that light, its a bit disappointing this still isn't fixed. If nothing else, I think a notification should be given when mousekeys are turned on (with or without this bug), so at least people might realize whats going on. Just a little balloon stating mouse keys turned on.

I like the balloon idea. But there is an existing applet which is almost as good. The accessx-status panel applet will tell you whether mouse keys is on or off. First make sure the gnome-applets package is loaded. Then right-click on the gnome panel, usually at the top and/or bottom of your screen. Select Add To Panel, then scroll down and select Keyboard Accessibility Status. Click Add. This will add an icon to your panel: with mouse keys off it looks like a wheelchair symbol, with mouse keys on it looks like a 3-button mouse. -- mouse keys turns on randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 192508] Re: mouse keys turns on randomly
I have often encountered the evil twin of this bug. Mouse keys will switch off for no apparent reason. I certainly sympathize with the posters above. But I would add that, for those of us who use mouse keys, it is equally unpleasant to have it suddenly _stop_ working. (Many thanks to Mike who posted the Shift+Num Lock shortcut!) I encountered this often in Feisty and Gutsy. It seems to happen less often in Hardy, though I just recently upgraded and haven't spent much time with Hardy yet. There is one difference though; in 7.04 and 7.10 when mouse keys switched off the enable mouse keys check box would become unchecked. But in 8.04 mouse keys will stop working while the check box remains checked. I am not using a laptop keyboard and it seems very unlikely that I'm frequently hitting shift+num lock by accident.

I first noticed the issue in Gutsy, but not immediately.

I think you can consider this bug confirmed, since two people have the same bug.

The shortcut is Alt + LShift + NumLock The people at GNOME think that it's an error in the XServer. GNOME uses the flag XkbAccessKeys to enable or disable the keyboard accessible functions, but the Mouse key shortcut don't respect this. Thus it's an error in the XKB specification. The only bug in GNOME is that the Keyboard Accessible functions box isn't selected, so the Mouse keys box looks grey. -- mouse keys turns on randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
