How do I prevent delete-next-character warning messages when running Mathematica 5.x under the SuSE Linux 9.2 and 10 (64-bit) distributions?
 Some users of the SuSE Linux 9.2 and 10 (64-bit) distributions have indicated that the following stderr dialog box may occur while starting Mathematica 5.x: Warning: Actions not found: delete-next-character This warning may be printed multiple times. Please follow these steps to prevent these warnings from appearing at startup. | 1. | In SuSE 92, create directory . In SuSE 10 (64-bit), create directory . In this directory, create a file called that contains the following information: |
| | Xmathematica*Text.Translations: #override \n\
~Shift ~Meta ~Alt Delete: \n |
| | XMathematica*AxeText.Translations: #override \n\
~Shift ~Meta ~Alt Delete: \n |
| | XMathematica*XmText.Translations: #override \n\
~Shift ~Meta ~Alt Delete: \n\
~Shift ~Meta ~Alt osfDelete: \n\ |
| | XMathematica*XmTextField.Translations: #augment \n\
~Shift ~Meta ~Alt osfDelete: \n\ |
| 2. | Create a file in your home directory called if it does not already exist and add the following lines: |
| | !*****************************************************
XMathematica*XmText.translations:
!***************************************************** |
| 3. | Execute the following command while logged in to your user account: |
| 4. | Deactivate Num Lock which solves the backspace-delete case. For more information, see: |
