linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, We are working on a project of Ubuntu customization with openbox. For some specific requirement, we need to disable the clipboard completely in the system. I have searched a lot over openbox and gnome configurations to achieve this goal but no luck till now. Does any one have any clue on this? Or, is there any other way to make CTRL+C, CTRL+V and CTRL+X unusable? (Hardware)

Working with clipboard can be like a hell. Sometimes Ctrl+C just don't work and if you copy some text on, say, web browser you can't normally paste in somewhere else. Especially between Terminal and other programs. Sometmies you have to paste with Ctrl+Shift+Insert sometimes Ctrl+V.

Is there any way to unify handling clipboard?

Openbox / Gnome Hybrid ?? 2 years 20 weeks ago

Is it possible (without too much difficulty) to have an Openbox/Gnome desktop?Since Gnome is a full desktop environment and Openbox is only a Window Manager.Use the Gnome DE and have Openbox WM, instead of Metacity or Compiz?  (with Ob Config & Menu included)I know it won't be near as light as a straight Openbox, but it would add Ob convenience to Gnome DE.What do you think?  Wo

Openbox-multihead 16 weeks 5 days ago

Hey,I'm currently running the latest waldorf snapshot, and I can't get Openbox-multihead working. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using it, I think the main problem is the conflicting nature with Openbox. It seems to use the same executable names being openbox, openbox-session, openbox-kde-session and openbox-gnome-session.

Ever wanted to send a link to some app from Play Market on your device to a friend in GTalk? Try sharing it with Ctrl+C and this app will copy shared text into clipboard. It also has some useful options and history of copied texts, nice and clean Holo UI which is also available for pre-ICS devices.

I'm using GNU Emacs 23.2.1. within Xfce 4.8.0 (both coming from the Ubuntu Natty repository). I disable the CapsLock by running /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps" at the beginning of the Xfce session.

When I hit the CapsLock key with some other keys, Emacs treats it as if the Ctrl key and the Shift key is pressed (Ctrl-S-whatever).

Ctrl/Alt/f2 doesn't work, and I have to power off to get it going again.Remember that Openbox has no panel and no desktop icons, so even if your screen was blank it might have been working fine.
