I’d like to give credit but haven’t found the original post since then, so if someone happens to notice it in the forums please let me know so I can give credit for the idea to the original poster.Event manual page - Tk Built-In Commands Tcl 8.7/Tk8.7a5 Documentation > Tk Commands > event Tcl/Tk Applications | Tcl Commands | Tk Commands | Tcl C API | Tk C API NAME event - Miscellaneous event facilities: define virtual events and generate events SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION event add > sequence ? sequence.
After playing with it some, I decided it was worth documenting and hence this post. I’d like to give credit where it’s due, in reading through the Ubuntu forums I saw someone suggest using keyboard accessibility to work around the no mouse issue. Not the greatest solution, but might work for you until the kernel issue gets fixed. Well there you go, a way you can use Ubuntu 7.04 in Virtual PC 2007. Laptop owners with compact keyboards are in for a painful experience, you’ll have to hit NUMLOCK to activate the mouse, then turn Numlock off to be able to type letters again. It will not work with the standard arrow keys. One thing to be aware of, these only work with the numeric keys. Finally, the number 5 key works as the mouse click. The angles work, pressing 7 (the home key on my keypad) moves up and to the left, for exampe. When you press left (number 4 ), the mouse moves left, press the up arrow (number 8 ) mouse goes up, and so on. What you just did was turn the numeric keypad into your mouse. Now tab on down to the Close button and press ENTER. Press TAB again to get to the “Enable Mouse Keys” and press the SPACE BAR to check it on. Press the RIGHT ARROW key twice to get the Mouse Keys highlighted. Now press the TAB key to get on the Basic tab. (You can tell you’re on it because of the little ‘dancing ants’ rectangle around it.) Just press the SPACE BAR to check this on, as you see below. When the Keyboard Accessibility Preferences window appears, you should already be on the “Enable keyboard accessibility features”. Finally go down to Keyboard Accessibility and press ENTER. Now press the right key once to get to Accessibility, then right again. Press the right arrow twice to System, then down once to Preferences. This should highlight the Applications menu. Once Ubuntu gets fully loaded, press the left ALT key plus F1 (Left ALT+F1, remember VPC takes over the right ALT). If you fail to do this, you’ll get garbled graphics.
When the menu appears, select “Start Ubuntu in Safe Graphics Mode” by hitting the down arrow once and pressing Enter. Fire up Virtual PC, then use the CD menu to either capture an ISO image or capture the CD Drive you have the Ubuntu Desktop disk in. OK, that explained let’s play with Ubuntu some. It only matters what the virtual machine is telling the guest OS (Ubuntu), which is PS/2 style mouse. Remember, it doesn’t matter what type of mouse you have hooked up to the host box (I have two mice, a Logitech MediaPlay and Microsoft Travel mouse, both USB). Both VMWare and VirtualPC emulate a PS/2 style mouse, and are not getting found by the kernel.
Some work has been done and now most PS/2 style mice are now being found.Įxcept, sadly for the ones being emulated. Apparently the kernel was not finding PS/2 style mice.

There was a bug in the kernel code that affected many different distros of Linux. This won’t give you the mouse back, but it will let you use Ubuntu 7.04 using keyboard control.įirst, let me take a second to explain what the issue is. OK, thanks to a suggestion I saw on the Ubuntu forums, I found a workaround for the no mouse issue, of sorts. But keep reading this post, as you’ll need the info here to implement the fix.

Update: A reader named John posted a link to a fix, see my post on May 17 ( ) for full details. If you haven’t installed 7.04 yet, I’d suggest giving 7.10 a try.

Update: Octo– Ubuntu 7.10 was released, the install for it is a bit more straight forward.
