Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

awesome! this just happened to me this morning and was driving me buggy...

so, is there a way to issue both of these xterm commands at once? like concatenating them together in personal menu or something?

Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

A shell script should do the trick Iirc.

Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

uuu... how do i do that?
sorry, my newbieness is showing

I started to do some googlind and found a site - it makes it look like I just 'vi' a script with both commands:

Code:

#start script- rekey

#used to correct virtual keyboard after

#bluetooth keyboard disconnect failure

gconftool-2 -t bool -s /system/osso/af/keyboard-attached false

gconftool-2 -t bool -s /system/osso/af/slide-open false

but then I get stuck - where do iI go from there? anyone can give a newbie linux user a clue?

Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

save the script. :)

chmod +x <script name>

mv <script name> /usr/local/bin/

...then, you can run that script from a button/menu/whatever with one tap.

Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

no need to move it, altho it makes it easier to recall the path to i guess ;)

it also just dawned on me that it may be unwise to argue with someone thats using a evil genius as a avatar...

least of all as i do not consider myself on sid's level of knowledge, experience, or age for that matter...

i fear i would be more in the area of a cross between greg and mike, with the majority being greg (basically, i need to come up with a way to deliver pain via the phone lines)...

Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

@briand
thanks!!

so I'm guessing I run it in personal menu with:

Code:

./ <script_name>

is that right?

thanks in advance

Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

Well, if you move it to a location on the path, just the name would work. If you place it in the current directory, ./name would be right. (Note that I've no clue what directory hildon-desktop runs in, so this is pretty useless here.) If it's anywhere, the full path /path/to/name will work.

Re: usb keyboard stops on-screen keyboard

Thanks SO MUCH for this script! This is a wonderful development!

Likewise. (although, I will neither admit or deny the ability to deliver pain via telephone lines!)

I thought that was what was going on, but I can't pronounce the Cyrillic alphabet, so I hoped it would transliterate for me. Google faileth not!
