[opensuse] Case flipping in KDE3 (OpenSuSE 12.1)
After a day or two in KDE3, I am finding that case in silently and globally flipped: Caps lock is off and all alphas are upper case, all punctuation is shifted, no numbers are available only the symbols you get using the shift key, keypad doesn't work, and arrow, page up/down and delete keys, function keys, etc., don't work. Using shift or caps lock gets me only the lower case alphabet. Replugging keyboard or changing keyboard does not solve this. Whether keyboard is PS/2 or USB makes no difference. Restarting the session usually does not change this. Restarting display manager resolves it. There is nothing in the logs, no errors, complaints at all. This is new behaviour, starting within the last month. Been using 12.1 since at least May. This is interfering with remote jobs I have running. Can't just shut down and restart while the jobs are running. What else can I look at? jd -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I experienced this a few times on KDE3 when I used it, maybe 4 or 5 times in total over my time using KDE3 in the last release series. I wouldn't expect a fix to this any time soon, KDE3 is not supported or developed really. If you wish to keep using KDE3 I'd probably suggest you run a tmux session. Either locally within konsole, so that when KB parsing breaks in konsole again you can relog and then re-attach to your tmux session without losing any jobs; or on the remote machine. Or put the jobs into the background on the remote machine before you relog.

First time I've even heard of it. Not expecting a fix, neither for this nor the other annoying bugs.

Looks like tmux is working. Thanks for the tip. I'd better put my fvwm configurating back on top. jd -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Don't know about solving, but maybe following will allow you to continue normal function: rckbd restart -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
