#debian channel featuring themill, zmitya, borsin, rootkea, Shadow_7, dpkg,

zmitya 2017-03-01 21:50:47
themill: I tested it in kate. And I set the compose key to left win key. I have the same keyboard at my workplace, using centos7 with KDE and it works..
zmitya 2017-03-01 21:50:54
Shadow_7: let me check
zmitya 2017-03-01 21:53:42
Shadow_7: I have just installed unicode pkg. same. This is my locale output: https://paste.debian.net/917580/
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 21:54:32
zmitya: might also try $(dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration), maybe it's set to something slightly different that the one at work.
zmitya 2017-03-01 21:56:02
Shadow_7: ok, did it, I need to restart X
zmitya 2017-03-01 21:56:07
will be back soon
jelly 2017-03-01 21:59:14
zmitya: pastebin the output of "setxkbmap -print" and verify with xev what pressing your left windows key generates, is it Meta-L or Super-L or what
zmitya 2017-03-01 21:59:16
did not help :(
zmitya 2017-03-01 21:59:34
jelly: ok, let me check
jelly 2017-03-01 22:00:04
Shadow_7: what does "unicode" package have to do with keymaps?
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:00:29
it allows the international characters
jelly 2017-03-01 22:00:50
Shadow_7: its description does not say that.
jelly 2017-03-01 22:01:06
I don't have it installed, and my Compose key does °
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:01:33
jelly: https://paste.debian.net/917581/
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:01:59
seems like it's more of a search utility than a provider
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:02:22
so probably does nothing useful in context
jelly 2017-03-01 22:03:14
Shadow_7: better avoid giving others info you haven't actually tried out
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:03:31
jelly: I did not know this xev thing. My left win key does not do anything...
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:03:59
Shadow_7: should I remove the unicode pkg ?
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:04:11
if you need the space.
jelly 2017-03-01 22:04:13
zmitya: you need to focus or mouseover the xev window, do other keys work?
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:04:24
The pc101 seems odd to me
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:04:31
jelly: yes, other keys do work
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:05:29
normally if I need special chars I'll cut and paste from somewhere like a browser.
jelly 2017-03-01 22:05:42
zmitya: that is weird, is this a laptop keyboard or a separate one?
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:05:48
let me check the keyb type at work pc
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:06:05
jelly: its a separated one
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:06:53
jelly: hm: Cannot open display "default display"
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:07:00
so that wont work..
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:07:15
let me try to specify a different keyb somehow
jelly 2017-03-01 22:07:31
zmitya: only works within a running X sessions
jelly 2017-03-01 22:08:04
!keymap
dpkg 2017-03-01 22:08:04
Run "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" to change both your default console and X keymap; the setxkbmap utility can be used to adjust keymap settings during X operation. For setting up X keymaps, see xkeycaps, xev and ask me about .
jelly 2017-03-01 22:08:58
zmitya: as Shadow_7 suggests, you might pick a 105-key variant somewhere instead of 101
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:09:13
or 104
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:09:29
ok
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:09:58
do I need to logoff / logon ?
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:10:02
after the change ?
jelly 2017-03-01 22:10:07
or even reboot
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:10:12
ok
Shadow_7 2017-03-01 22:10:33
keyboard things tend to take immediately, although maybe not X things.
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:14:53
did not help :(
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:15:19
Why would /bin/bash not be available to my systemd unit on boot? It waits for "network-online" before it should start.
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:15:51
and /bin/bash is not symbolically linked either
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:16:23
Error in journal is: Mar 02 06:10:22 ALMAYER systemd[624]: minio.service: Failed at step USER spawning /bin/bash: No such file or directory
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:16:53
However ls produces: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1099016 Jan 24 15:13 /bin/bash
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:17:18
Obviously it works when I run a manual restart on the unit.
themill 2017-03-01 22:21:11
bweston92: wrong architecture?
borsin 2017-03-01 22:27:54
bweston92: are you specifying a target?
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:33:58
borsin: http://pastebin.com/YmmU7Lah
zmitya 2017-03-01 22:33:59
jelly, Shadow_7: I tested it with moving the compose key to AltGr and iot works well with that. So that X does not see my Left Win key for some reason. And could not find any model / variant yet where my left win key works :)
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:34:24
themill: It works once the system has actually started and I ssh in and restart the service
themill 2017-03-01 22:34:33
ah, ok
rootkea 2017-03-01 22:38:36
Hello! I am using xdm with xfce. How can I switch user while retaining the previous login? I can see the text "Switch User" after clicking on the action button. But clicking on it does nothing.
rootkea 2017-03-01 22:39:05
Does switching user work with xdm?
borsin 2017-03-01 22:40:01
bweston92: if you want it to start after network-online, then the use of "after" should be enough and "wants" isn't necessary. I would try that. Wants as i understand is saying your unit file "wants" this but you're wanting this started "after" that mentioned target has run.
jelly 2017-03-01 22:41:27
zmitya: does the kernel do anything with Win-L? run "showkey" in console outside of X
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:42:36
borsin: I have both a wants and after
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:42:49
I just want /bin/bash to exist
bweston92 2017-03-01 22:42:55
I don't understand why it isn't there
borsin 2017-03-01 22:44:57
bweston92: i'm suggesting that your _wants_ isn't necessary or your unit file may not work because it's there - i would try it with a _after_ only. i'm running a much simpler unit with /bin/bash with only the _after_ "network.service" without issue
