| Post subject: | Installed 7.1 had very little problems |
I installed 7.1 to a blank hard drive and after I configure it I will move over my database and files... Things I can't figure out. 1) Why isn't ctrl alt backspace restarting x 2) What happened to "locate" 3) where have all the cowboys gone? 
overall smooth install I never have any good luck upgrading any operating system I always start from scratch. Thanks MattBatt |

I was wondering about this myself. Quote: 1) Why isn't ctrl alt backspace restarting x
Went to use it and it didn't do anything! No problem with "locate" here though |

Code: sudo pacman -S mlocate

I'm thinking that it was most likely just overlooked. I would think that it would be defined in either /usr/share/fluxbox/keys or /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/keys but that's just a swag Can someone still running R6 look in those files and report back? |

ctrl+alt+backspace is a Xorg configuration thing that changed in the more recent versions of X. Have a look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xo ... s_not_work |

jams, I found the section you mentioned. Quote: New Xorg disables zapping with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace by default.
You can enable it by adding the following line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, Code: Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" to InputDevice section for keyboard. I tried this but still didn't get it work. |

Try the option listed for hot plugging. It seems to work just fine for me. Within /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf, simply add the following: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection |

I did follow this link: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22352 to back-rev the Nvidia driver It solved several problems I was having with hangs an myth dropping out to the splash screen, and also brought back the ability to ctl -alt backspace to restart X without any additions to the 10-evdev.conf Also mattbatt I did a fresh install of 7.1 from the CD and you are correct locate is not there. Guess my "locate" worked because it was an upgrade. |

I finally got annoyed with this not working. Did anyone ever get ctrl alt backspace to work again. I tried the two methods listed in the link but neither work for me. I'm making this thread a zombie and bringing it back to life. |
