mouse weirdness sort of solved (was: re: my debian machine)
[snip] [0] And confuse people. My mouse has left, middle, right, wheel up, wheel down, and 2 mystery buttons. xmodmap reports 10 buttons. Mystery button 1 reports a button 9 event. Mystery button 2 switches to the next window and does not report a button event. *shrug* I've partially solved this. The first button consistently reports a button 9 event. When button 9 is being held, pushing the second button reports a button 8 event. Pushing the second button by itself produces a KeyPress event for Shift_L, another for Meta_L, then a KeymapNotify that probably clears the Shift modifier, then KeyReleases event for ISO_Left_Tab and Meta_L. Which is interesting but not particularly useful. I still don't know where buttons 6, 7, and 10 are on this thing. -- Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress There is no Darkness in Eternity But only Light too dim for us to see. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Greg, the mail client you're using does not respect the Reply-To: header. Send things to the list, not to just me. That way, if I have no idea, other people can say something.

Copy and paste the text you get when you middle-click in the xev window that is generated by "xev | grep -i button". No, nothing's supposed to happen in the GUI, xev is the X event tester. It's there to diagnose problems like this.[0] please advise. Answer these questions: Which WM/DE are you using? Have you re-mapped the default mouse settings? And provide the output of "xmodmap -pp", which shows the current physical button -> button code mapping. Usually this doesn't change, but let's cover all the bases. [0] And confuse people.

find and remove
a couple of years ago I think I copied a directory with directories and etcinto another directory. I think it was /Pictures or maybe not. How can I find it and delete it... well really I only need to find the files so I can delete it. -- :-)~MIKE~(-: --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: My Debian machine...
Hello, I finally had a chance to do this right now. It did generate event data on the terminal, but it didn't do anything in the little GUI. I could see event data generated on the terminalfor any button clicked or rolled.please advise.thanks,Greg On Monday, August 23, 2021, 02:50:58 PM MST, Matt Graham via PLUG-discuss wrote: On 2021-08-23 13:04, greg zegan via PLUG-discuss wrote: > new Debian 10 machine [...] I noticed the other day my > center mouse click would not paste the contents of a > highlighted text.

Position the mouse pointer in the small window that xev generates. Middle-click. You should see a ButtonPress event of button 2, then a ButtonRelease event of button 2. If you don't, what do you see? Individual applications can do what they want when they receive a button 2 event, though the default is "paste selection". konsole can be set to middle-click "paste clipboard" instead if you want. Which WM/DE are you using? Have you re-mapped the default mouse settings? I thought that Unity or some other less useful DEs disabled button 2 text pasting to be "friendly". -- Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress There is no Darkness in Eternity But only Light too dim for us to see. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
