I tried shutting down from terminal as opposed to KMenu and the shutdown hung without completing. I did a 'hard' shutdown mechanically.The command I used was: # shutdown -a -t 5secs now
Is there a way to correct this?

gnome-terminal from the Debian squeeze does not use the 'default_size_columns' and 'default_size_rows' from the /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/ folder of gconf.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI find xcompmgr more than adequate for making a desktop look pretty modern, and I don't like the more extravagentCompiz gimmicks - but there is one thing that irritates when using xcompmgr which someone here might have worked round.
Rounded window borders don't draw and redraw properly when using the Terminal (gnome-terminal and the LXDE and Xfce ones) or system monitor and moving them from their default place. You get this little white botch at the corners. I'm not massively technical and I'm ambivalent about how much more I want to learn as I have plenty of creative outlets already, but I would like to solve this. Somehow xcompmgr is treating these programs as a different class? It's capable of drawing the window borders properly as it is just these two programs that get botched. Possibly this doesn't get noticed as maybe people usually use xcompmgr with openbox and LXDE and their square window borders. I did do a search but there was nothing matching what I saw.
About a year ago, I decided to remove the battery of my laptop when no mobility were required and the machine could use A/C, in order to --supposedly-- extend the battery's life.The system has suffered a couple of improper shutting downs within this year and, despite no important information was lost and I have not noticed a single problem, I don't know what to do after one. Yesterday, while I was testing some hard disk checking tools, I noticed that there was a damaged sector on the disk. Is it a result of these improper shutting downs? Should I force a file system check after one? Does the system performs a file system check when the error is critical? Should I check the lost+found directory after an improper shutting down --it's empty, by the way?What's the recommended way to proceed after an improper shutting down?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo, I installed debian and everything is nice, only one minor problem I haven't been able to solve is I think when I shutdown the computer running applications are being killled instead of terminated gracefully (if I open iceweasel, open a few tabs, close it and open it again only the homepage is opened, but if I open iceweasel, shutdown the computer, boot it and run iceweasel all the tabs are opened again, the same happens if iceweasel crashes).
I'm using debian version 6.0.2.1, a default install and no major configuration changes was done, I'm shutting down via gnome control-alt-del - shutdown.
Any help?
I have a strange problem on my system. When I turn off printer, system hang. Gdm/X exit and I can see a terminal screen with a lot of info (but I can not capture it, except taking a photo). I must press reset button. It's not all times, but at least 50% I shutdown printer. I was looking logs and I can not see any relevant. Maybe this (copy some sections of /var/log/messages, remove other not revelant):

I am looking for a method to add new encoding to Gnome Terminal.The encoding i want to add is MIK (Bulgarian DOS cyrillic encoding) and it is not found in Terminal -> Set character encoding -> Add or remove list.Is there a way to add this encoding to the list ? Or is there some other terminal or telnet / ssh client which allows me to add encodings ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIv installed debian 6.0.1 and tried to install the kde desktop. it installed ok but when i boot up now i just get a terminal. Iv tried starting x but apparently its already running which kinda makes sence since the terminal IS a bit gui (you can use the mouse to select some menu buttons at the top) Iv made sure xorg and kdm and all that jass in installed and up to date but nothing seems to work.
I saw in an ubuntu forum that someone with the same problem solved it by renaming their home folder then making a new one with "the correct permissions" however i have no idea hgow to do that from the terminal and alot fot eh commands they talked about dont seem to work which i was surprised by since i thought it was all bash? (ie startx, service, sudo are all invalid commands for me apparently)
My laptop is frequently shutting down while using Google Earth 7.1.2.2041-r0. It uses 100% CPU, but only on one CPU core, and the problem happens at random.
I don't believe it is related to the CPU temperature, because I created a script that saves the current temperature every two seconds, so when the system shuts down I can see the last, and the highest I got from all the times was 62 °C, while the average from all the times it shut down was 57 °C from /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp*_input and 51 °C from /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp and /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input. From my research, I understand that coretemp-0 is the temperature of the CPU itself, while the others (acpitz-virtual-0) are from underneath the base of the CPU.
The files under /sys and the command `sensors' tell me that only 80° would trigger a shutdown. I bought this laptop in 2013, and I have never seen it go beyond 6-°C:
Code: Select allsensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:    +41.0°C (crit = +104.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:    +48.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 2:    +47.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
I have done a simple stress test by running `cat /dev/zero >/dev/null' on 8 terminals, together with `glxgears' and `supertuxkart' for half an hour, and my system did not shutdown, neither the temperature went beyond 6-°C. The HD temperature lives around 42 °C, according to `sudo smartctl -l scttemp /dev/sda'.

I'm on KDE 4.1.3 on my openSuSE 11.1. Once while playing around with the Plasma Widget I accidentally deleted the KMenu Widget. Though I did get it back, I am unable to use the shortcut key (Alt+F1) since. I checked the Keyboard Shortcuts and found that the Alt+F1 key is mapped as a shortcut to the Application Launcher under Plasma Workspace.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I was running it before, that was Debian as well, I was able to make my gnome-terminal window decorations completely transparent and/or gone - so the terminal appeared to be typing directly on the desktop.
The method I used before to accomplish this was pretty straightforward, these options could be found in the actual terminal's interface and menu options.
However, now, I get the following result:
Click on the image for a larger size image so as you're able to see the picture in more detail.
I just decided I'd give Google Chrome a try. Installed it via the google repository and it went fine.
However, every now and then it just vanishes from my menu and it can't be found again, also the command in the terminal can't find anything.
So, what's left is to reinstall it, and during reinstall it doesn't even whine about already being installed.
Anybody else with this matter? I am running 64-bit Squeeze.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a NAS in my home network which is automatically mounted using NFS on my desktop. There's only media files and documents on the NAS, no installed programs. None of those documents or media files appear in the Recently Used tab.
Whenever I click on the K-menu button of the taskbar, the menu does open but I cannot use it for a while; then I hear the harddisks in the NAS spin up and after a couple of seconds I can use the menu.
This is, of course, really annoying because it limits the speed at which I can use the K-menu. Why does it need access to the NAS anyway? Is there any way I can disable this?
I have this win32 program that only runs after tweaking some settings in q4wine. Unfortunately however, the link to the program in the K-Menu was created at install time, and does not include aforementioned tweaks, so in order to start the program i have to start q4wine and then the program from there. How can I make a link in the menu reflecting the q4wine-changed settings?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI updated my Jessie system today. Nothing crucial in the apt-get list as far as I can see, perhaps it's unrelated. Anyway, now I cannot open the terminal any longer. Launching `gnome-terminal` shows the app name in the menu bar, a spinning wheel, and then after a few seconds nothing. It doesn't appear in the list of processes, either. I can still log into the text shell via ctrl-alt-F1.
I also added `LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"` to `/etc/environment` to get rid of the American date format. Could it be the cause? I just tried to launch the terminal from the JVM. I get this output:

I will delete the environment variable again and reboot, but I wonder if I can still have the British date format?
This problem has lasted for several months, but I can't find anything like bug report in debian related website.

It's an old issue but thought I'd just ask if there are some fix for this. There is another small flaw on my system as well which is with refreshing the content displayed in a directory using dolphin (and possibly other file-viewers/apps). For instance, if I unpack a tar/rar/zip package I have to manually refresh dolphin for having it display the new extracted folder.
View 9 Replies View Relatedis it possible to stream a window from X, as opposed to forwarding it over SSH? I've used X-forwarding before so that I could ssh into another computer and open up a graphical program and have it show up on mine. But as far as I know, that window only opens on your computer, not on the computer the program is actually running on. Is it possible for me to open a window on my computer, and to sort of X stream it to another computer that has X so they can watch what I'm doing in that window?

Also (a bit unrelated) could a video card problem cause a user to log out? I have been having some severe problems with my monitor and I am thinking it is th video card. Sometimes when I am starting a program my monitor will lose connection to my computer (HDMI signal not found) and I will either have to wait a few seconds and it will turn on or it will just stay blacked out.
After a recent Debian 8 update, I notice a new problem with the Gnome-Terminal. When you open a new tab or window, whatever is the cwd of the current tab becomes the cwd of the new tab or window. This always used to reset to ~, which is what I want. Is this a new "feature" and if I can disable it?
