Hi everyone. My Uconsole trackball get stuck on the bottom of my screen. So it renders unusable to me because I can’t access to the main menu without the pointer. I’ve tryed some Key combinations but I can get access to the main menu or the programs I have in the taskbar.
Is there any key combination list or something? Anyone knows how to bring up the main menu via keyboard.
Any hint will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Not sure about main menu, but you can access terrminal
ctrl + alt + t – opens terminal
ctrl + alt + up – maximise window
as bonus
ctrk + alt + fn + f1…f6 – will switch you to tty1, f7 will switch you back to WM
Thank you. It works and I can start programs from terminal. Alt+F2 don’t work as it will be easy to start programs from there…
Anyway thanks a lot.
you may also try to remove front panel and rotate trackball module for 90 degrees
some people say it fixes it somehow (or brakes it differently…)
Thank you. I will try this this evening.
It works as well. Tank you
fn + left alt has label ‘cmd’ which is ‘super/win’ and it drops main menu
That combination of keys don’t work in my Uconsole. It has only the bookworm 6.6. operating system.
I think that with xev and tuning xmodmap, maybe I can get a combination of keys that works. Or maybe try the flash the new keys firmware…
check via xev
what fn + left alt
returns, it should return Super_R
