Debian Configuration :: TTY Terminals Flickering
Aug 19, 2015I just installed Stretch on my laptop and I have a problem with the terminals. The system loads fine on KDE and I can use it without issues. However, when I switch to the tty terminals, they move very fast horizontally and slowly vertically as if there is some sync frequency issue. Then if I move back to KDE most of the time it works ok, while some others it starts flickering like the terminals.

Jul 6, 2011I'm building a Debian Live system, [URL], and I've pared it down to a very light distro. It is using the IceWM, has the basic linux commands, and very very little else.
When I run "top" and "ps aux", I see that I have multiple terminals and logins waiting to be used. It's a small amount, but I'd like to make that RAM usable elsewhere. The indicated commands are: "/bin/login -f" and "-bash", and I have one of each associated with each tty[1-7]. I may want to keep tty1 and tty2, just in case, but I can't imagine wanting 3-7.
So, what I'm looking for is a way to stop tty[3-7] from even starting in the first place.
I saw on one forum the suggestion of modifying the /etc/init/tty[1-7].conf files, but these files aren't present, I presume because it's a "Live" system.

Fedora :: Virtual Terminals Not Working / What Ot Do?
Jul 13, 2009Whenever I boot my machine into runlevel 5 (X support) I can't get to any of the virtual terminals. If I do a ps and grep for mingetty I see terminals 4-6 are running. But ctrl-alt-f{4-6} just put me to a blank screen. If I hit alt-f1 I get back to X. I've found that if I start tty2 by running "sudo mingetting tty2" I get the following error in /var/log/messages: mingetty: tty2: no controlling tty: Operation not permitted. I am not using selinux and have noticed that /etc/inittab no longer has the ttys. The reading I have done thus far says it's started by gdm but I don't really see a lot of info about controlling them. Any ideas on this?

OpenSUSE :: PackageKit Messages On The Terminals?
Mar 14, 2010I always get messages like those below in my terminals, that obfuscate my typing.
How can I get rid of them (updated opensuse 11.2)?

I'm ok with seeing severe error messages on the console, but not spam like PackageKit started..., stopped...

General :: Get 2+ Terminals In BASH Script?
Jan 19, 2010I am making a bash script. I have captured user input like so. code...
But it does not work. Airodump-ng "takes over" and the script does not continue.
How do I make it so that I can make a new Terminal, or allow more commands to take place on the current one, allow the output from airodump-ng to be shown, and keep the caught user input?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, GNOME and would like it so that anyone with a GUI Terminal, Konsole or whatever can execute the script successfully.
I'm confused...I looked up on Google and couldn't find anything! Just "Beginners guide to Bash Scripting" and "How to BASH script" but nothing relevant that answer my question!

View 3 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Virtual Terminals In F15 'graphical Mode'?
Jun 5, 2011Has anyone else here had a problem getting virtual terminals to work when booting into F15's 'graphical mode'? This is what used to be runlevel 5 in the old SysV init system, before the switch to systemd. Before F15, I could do a Ctrl-Alt-F[n] (for n=1,...6) to get virtual terminals while in runlevel 5, and this was easy to control by editing /etc/inittab.
But with systemd, /etc/inittab is no longer used, and finding where the virtual terminals get created took me a bit of time. I tracked it down to the /lib/systemd/system/prefdm.service file, which seems to stop creating virtual terminals after tty1 in order to prevent the display manager and plymouth from conflicting on that virtual terminal. I'm using the Slim display manager (installed via yum), and I only got tty1 (showing console messages), tty2 took me back to X, and there were no tty3-6 any more. I noticed from ps that there was some kind of "plymouth --wait" process running, so I killed it. After doing so, the other virtual terminals showed up. Has anyone else here experienced something similar?
It appears that /lib/systemd/system/plymouth-quit.service is not exiting properly, and this is causing the problem. This problem only occurs in graphical mode, not in console mode (what used to be runlevel 3). My first solution was to put "/bin/plymouth quit" in /erc/rc.d/rc.local, and upon rebooting that did indeed fix the problem. But eventually I just removed plymouth altogether, which also fixes the problem. It would be nice though if plymouth-quit.service just worked as it was supposed to. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.
OpenSUSE :: Lowercase 'e' No Longer Works In Terminals
Feb 20, 2010For some reason, just shortly ago, the terminals, konsole, etc. will not accept the lowercase letter 'e' as input for some reason, not even when pasting, e.g.
a paste of file:///usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop
becomes fil:///usr/shar/applications/kd4/konsol.dsktop
on the command line. Weird.
For everything else I have tried at this point on the computer, the lowercase letter 'e' is just fine (this message being an example);Has some configuration file for terminals (konsole, xterm, Yakuake) or whatever got messed up and I need to correct it?
