Hello, A keyboard disconnected from a Java application after the keyboard could be used in that application without problems for some time can be caused by the following Sun JVM bug (Oxygen comes with a Java 1.6 Sun JVM): http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6598651 In this bug the keyboard events are not passed to the Java application at a low level anymore which means the bug cannot be fixed in the Java application. It must be fixed in the JVM. There are two different workarounds for this bug: - send a mouse event to the Java application, for example open and close a menu with the mouse (without running an action from the menu); this will re-connect the keyboard with the window of the application, - use a Java 1.5 virtual machine instead of a Java 1.6 one. For the second workaround you can download a Java 1.5 virtual machine for Linux from: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp After installing it you set it for running Oxygen as specified in the User Manual (see the note in the Linux installation procedure): http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/installation-instructions.html#proced... Also you can set a JVM for running Oxygen by editing the script [Oxygen-install-dir]/oxygen.sh and specifying the full path to the java executable ([JVM-install-dir]/bin/java) in the java command at the end of the oxygen.sh script. In this case you have to start Oxygen with this script, that is a command: sh oxygen.sh I hope this helps, Sorin David Holden wrote:
No no KVM, bog standard keyboard and several versions of ubuntu. I've had this issue with several Java apps but its a particular problem with Oxygen.
