Linux and K3 Utility

[n4dsp]

Running Linux Ubuntu with the K3 Utility and to perform some of the
functions the mouse cursor
must be positioned above the specific button for it to operate. The
button will not function when the cursor
is in that specific button. It is my understanding that Dave Fleming
wrote a command for this glitch.
Anyone know where I can obtain this?
thanks

john

John, I don't see this behavior using Oneiric with latest updates and K3
Utility v 1.4.1.8.  Maybe double check revisions of your software?  GL

Do you run a nvidia linux driver? try nomodeset in kernel boot line.

To set kernel boot options, you must edit your grub configuration.
 You can do this temporarily for a single boot by entering the grub menu.
 If you do not get to see the grub boot menu after the bios automatically,
you may have to press SHIFT key after the bios logo to get in to grub:


Select the default ubuntu kernel (usually the top one), and rather than
pressing enter, press E to edit.
Press DOWN ARROW until you get to the line that starts with Code:linux /boot
and press END keys to position your cursor at the end of the that line usually
ending with “quiet splash”.

Now you can type in additional kernel option: nomodeset

Press control+X to boot the modified grub entry

To permanently change the default kernel boot options, press ALT+F2 or open a terminal from system > accessories > terminal.

Type in the following command:


Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/gruba text editor will open with the grub configuration file. Near the top of that file you will see something very similar to this:

Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""add your custom boot options to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line, so for instance:


Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""Save the file and exit gedit. If you have to add kernel options that contain quotation marks, add them as such:


Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi=\"Linux\""Now in the terminal, run the following command to update your grub configuration with the new default settings:

Code:
sudo update-grub
