I just installed CentOS 5.2, and would like for xterm to be my default terminal instead of the gnome-terminal. I was able to do this on a RHEL4 system and Fedora 9, but I can't figure out how to do it in CentOS.
Here's the output of uname:
Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 11:57:43 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I wondered if whether there is any way to make the xterm fullscreen and have the same white/purple colors as gnome-terminal in 10.04.I already know how to modify the command for the xterm session, but I want to know what options to give xterm to get the fullscreen white/purple look.

So at boot up time, it does give a choice of selecting from the two if pressed any key, otherwise boots Centos. Now I wish to set it in such a way that Windows is the default OS to boot.
My grub.conf file:--
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition.

On a system with a Sandy Bridge integrated graphics (i5-2400) the problem went away by downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.13.0. But it was not enough for another system with 945G which needed downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.12.0.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use a Windows computer to remotely operate two Centos 5.4 boxes over the Internet. For text or console work I use putty which does an excellent job. But sometimes I need to run a graphical app such as xterm. For that, I use an X Server such as Xming or MobaXterm. Until today, that was working reasonably well. On one Centos, it still does. But on the other one, I started getting an error message that I have not seen before:
[root ]# /usr/bin/system-config-network connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory The application 'system-config-network-gui' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. [root ]# xterm connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). [root ]#
So when I upgraded to Slack64 13.1 on my asus MB homebrewed desktop and Slack 13.1 on my compaq presario a900 laptop, I started having issues with the xterm title (in Terminal--not Konsole) being too dynamic. By "too dynamic" I mean that I can't actually change the title. The dynamic title (from my .bashrc) is basically just pwd. Whenever I try to set the title (via terminal->set title (menu)), I changes it for a split second, and then reverts back to the dynamic title.
This is merely a petty annoyance, so to get around it, I added an xtitle function that I grabed somewhere online (just echos "�33]0;$*�07"). So for nano-ing some file, I'd type:xtitle some_file.txt; nano some_file.txt
That works just fine (kind of annoying to type though). running xtitle alone won't actually change the name either though (I'm pretty sure it's the same command as what terminal does anyway). That is, running: xtitle some_file.txt
changes the title for a split second, and the reverts back to my old pwd.What I really want is to have it dynamically name it "some_file.txt" whenever I use nano, but that appears to be a functionality of zsh (with the preexec() fxn).I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if you have a fix for it.
Is it possible to make terminal (xfce4-terminal) transparent from bash script?
Maybe by enabling compostion?
I've been wanting to do this, basically all I need is the image for the terminal and a know how on how to change the text to a lime green.

I can use some programs such as OpenOffice.org, but I cannot use a terminal or a web browser.The next thing I try is to log in to a failsafe terminal session. When I try this I get perhaps the most worrisome error so far:Cannot find "xterm" to start a failsafe session.
