[lubuntu] Highlighting Cursor

http://ubuntuforums.org – When I had Ubuntu 10.04, pressing the Ctrl key would highlight the cursor. This no longer works with 12.04. I would appreciate information on how I can also make it work in 12.04. Thanks (Hardware)

Stories similar to [lubuntu] Highlighting Cursor

I am trying to install lubuntu 12.1 PPC using the alt cd on an ibook g4. I've been having a few problems. First, when lubuntu boots it only boots to a black screen, my cursor is visible and brightness functions work but that's it, no login screen ever comes up. I tried logging in after pressing ctrl+alt+f1 but my login didn't work.

I couldn't find anything on google, so I was wondering if you guys could help me?After installing the catalyst drivers I installed cinnamon via the AUR.Cinnamon loads fine, however, once the panel (and the desktop overall) loads, the mouse cursor flickers and becomes invisble.

Normally commands such as ls and grep offer nice syntax highlighting for me. But my system crashed (running an ubuntu VM) and after I restarted, I no longer have this highlighting, it's all a dreary grey.

Nano, however, notably does do it's normal highlighting.

display goes black at login 26 weeks 4 days ago

I am new to Linux. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on an older computer. The problem is after pressing enter on login there is a cursor on a black background. I can move the cursor. I can ctrl+alt+F1 and I get a kind of CLI in the upper right hand corner that provides a way to login, but also prints error messages too. ANy idea how to get the GUI/desktop running? Thank you in advance. Tem

I am running a ubuntu 12.04 64 bit system with cinnamon 1.6.

Some keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl+a for select all and ctrl+w for close tab do not seem to work in text editors and text fields.

On pressing ctrl+a the cursor just moves to the 1st character of the text field. however ctrl+a does work elsewhere like in nautilus, firefox (non text fields).

Hello,

I am confused about openSUSE's kate (using openSUSE 11.2 and KDE 4.3.1). First, when the cursor is at a bracket, it does not highlight that bracket or the matching one.

Also, the highlighting is poor: e.g., for an R script, commands (e.g, "length", "get", etc) are not displayed in bold.

I'm trying to read from a SQLite database using the following code:

public List<DBEntry> getAllDBEntrys() { List<DBEntry> DBEntrys = new ArrayList<DBEntry>();

Cursor cursor = database.query(DatabaseClass.TABLE_APPTS, allColumns, null, null, null, null, null);

cursor.moveToFirst(); while (!cursor.isAfterLast()) { DBEntry DBEntry = cursorToDBEntry(

I just upgraded from 8.04 Ubuntu to 10.04. The mouse cursor works fine during login. As soon as the system switches to the desktop, the arrow cursor "image" disappears (remains working ..you just can't see it). The OS will also randomly shut down requiring a re boot.
