Snapshot in Man 10.2

[lewmur]

When I use the cursor keys in the new Man 10.2 distro, a window keeps popping up that appears to want to take a Snapshot of the screen. It is driving me nuts!!!! How do I turn it off????

Hi LewI just finished my 4th install ( different systems ) and your issue is one I have not encountered yet . . . But you can try this:Kde Control Center --> Accessibility --> Keyboard Shortcuts -->2nd tab ( Command Shortcuts ) and you will see the menu represented . . look for ksnapshot and see if anything is associated with it ( it should be the "print"-key ) .. if not put the "print"-key on it . . . BrunoPS: There is also a new feature for multimedia keys . . . . I will look it up and post it . . maybe it is there we have to look if the above does not help.UPDATE: This is the text . . . .

Multimedia keyboards--------------------Newer multimedia keyboards can now be configured via the keyboarddrake applet in the Mandrake Control Center. GNOME and KDE have already been configured with certain default actions for common multimedia keys.

Have a look if it is set to the correct keyboard vendor

I went into MCC software removal and uninstalled the package. Its not something I've ever used anyway.

LOL . . . good one . . that is a solution I had not thought of ( If you ever would want to make a screenshot, you can use imagemagick ) Bruno

Did you mean the arrow keys? Or the ones including Page Up, Page Dn or the keypad keys? It sounds kind of fishy to me, too, but then I did a recent Mandrake 10.1 install and found out that Konqueror wouldn't even function without the updates so it wouldn't surprise me if were a bug with certain types of hardware. Once I downloaded and installed the over 1.1 GB of updates, it worked fine. I was considering giving it to the students as a take-home distro but I don't think I want to saddle them with having to get that many updates right from the gate.

I can't blame it on Konquerer 'cause it did the same thing in OpenOffice.

LOL . . . . Well Jason . . lucky for you there is still hope:

In order to provide smaller updates to the stable release, deltarpm from suse has been added. This enable to have incremental updates of rpm, reducing bandwidth needed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The arrow keys and the backspace. Any key that moves the cursor around without typing a letter or space.
