Debian :: Launch X-terminal-emulator With Profile?
Dec 31, 2009
I'm trying to launch a root terminal with a profile preloaded, but I'm not yet used to the way gnome handles its syntax, so the default link to root terminal has me confused:
I'm looking for some information about termcap and terminfo... I've got some, but the problem is that some things confuse me... I thought every terminal and terminal emulator should be there, but many of the terminal emulators I use are not there.. Is this different between distributions?
This problem has lasted for several months, but I can't find anything like bug report in debian related website.
Basically my problem is after genome-terminal (version 3.4.1.1) is launched, I want to change profile setting such as font, color, etc. However, when I click the button `Edit > Profiles > Edit`, nothing happens (no dialogue pop up). `Edit > Profiles > New` And `Edit > Profiles > Delete` function correctly.
Is there a terminal emulator which works well in an Ubuntu desktop and provides the following features which Mac OS X's Terminal application has? Re-wrapping text when the window is resized.A Clear command which clears scrollback (as the shell clear does not) and does not clear the cursor's line (typically containing a prompt).
Are x-terminal-emulator and gnome-terminal different in any way? I noticed when I when I put those commands in my terminal they both opened the gnome-terminal.

Apparently, the method using gnome-terminal is to add a trailing
Code:
But this did not work, probably because in this case I'm not calling directly on gnome's terminal.
I'd like to run a program [URL] from the GUI menu (yes, I know I can run it from the command line). I've gotten this to work by using a menu entry (see attached screenshot).The command is:
Code:
gksu chkrootkit
with the option for Type: was selected as Application in Terminal However, when chkrootkit is finished, the terminal immediately snaps shut according to the profile selection: When Commands Exits: Close terminal What I'd like to do is create another profile that causes the terminal to be held open (see screenshot) when the command exits and be able to choose that profile from the GUI Menu entry. I believe the command when using the CLI is:
Code:
gnome-terminal --profile=<profile_name>
how do I incorporate this within the Command entry line of the launcher?
It would be great if there was a terminal emulator application that used SDL.
Basically all I want to do is open a terminal, however, this is on an embedded device, and the only form of output available to me is the linux framebuffer (or ssh/serial, but I want to use the LCD). I have SDL installed already.
Actually, if there is an application that uses the framebuffer device directly, that would be fine too. I just think its odd that there are so many terminal emulators already, but none of them use SDL.
Is there a way to set up profiles for X terminal emulator such as one can do with konsole? and if so, can they be configured to launch at xfce startup?
Example Tab called "mutt". When tab is opened, mutt is started. Tab starts when xfce starts terminal emulator.
FYI: 1)Using slack 13.0 2)Comfortable with command line, vim and command line tools. 3)Python programmer (and some shell)
I have an OpenBSD server and I access i'm trying to access it via serial port with a Opensuse computer. I have been using Minicom but its 2 emulation types (vt102 and ANSI) Dont seem to be working for me. Is there a terminal emulator for linux that supports wyse50? That would be best.
I know this is strictly a KDE problem, but I don't want to create another account anywhere and get the KDE spam, etc.
But if anybody who reads this list has the ear of (or is) a KDE person, a minor bitch with KDE in 13.0 and 13.1 is that if you were using Konsole terminals at the time of shutting down KDE, when next you start KDE, it replaces them with Terminal Emulators.
Setting up my slackware system for prime use, i downloaded robby's xfce 4.8 package and upgraded xfce 4.6. Later i downloaded slackpkg and upgraded all my packages for the first time. When i did a restart, xfce 4.8 had gone back to xfce 4.6. I just went back to the directory where i was storing all the xfce 4.8 files and did the upgrade again, it worked; now for some reason though my terminal emulator no longer works, as regular user and root. I get an eroor saying, failed to execute terminal emulator. Input/output error.
I have a favorite REXX program called fv2. When I was a Windows user I had an icon for fv2 on the Quick Launch bar. Click that icon, and the program ran. Now, as a Linux (Ubuntu) user it is necessary to go through several steps to run fv2.
1) Launch a terminal by clicking on the terminal icon at the top of the screen. What's that area called? The GNOME panel? 2) Enter: ~/Desktop/RexxScripts 3) Enter: regina fv2
I run fv2 several times per day and would really like to have the convenience of a clickable icon.
I want to leave KDE (too bloated, got less than 300-400 megs free mem of 4G, mostly consumed by kde&friends) and I need some lightweight replacements for:
1. Desktop: lightweight, highly configurable, with utilities out of the box for: window switching (i.e. fluxbox doesn't have it and it makes me nuts), run command (usually alt+f2, I'm very used to it), virtual desktops.
2. Terminal Emulator: konsole is a very comfortable tool, highly customizable and I like it very much, but again it's very resource expensive. What do I need: no cursor blinking (gnome developers, why do you think it's comfortable? it's killing people), multitab, utf support, shortcuts customization.
3. And probably a drop-down console like yakuake or tilda (both are consuming too much resources). Requirements are the same as for terminal emulator.
I've spent a week trying to find something fitting this requirements and found nothing.
What I've tried: Desktops: fluxbox, openbox, blackbox and other *box: Major: 1. No window switching dialog 2. Awful run dialog (had to hack it so it reports at least something) 3. No window highlights in tray 4. Lots of problems with window focus minor: - some awkward position dialog on window movement - hardly customizable - need to change configs. (yes, I want this to be done via mouse and configuration dialog because it is easier and faster)
icecwm: Major: 1. looks like a time traveler from 80's 2. problems with window switching 3. no run dialog (had to make it work with grun) Minor: 1. hardly customizable
Terminal emulators: lxterminal - mostly ok: 1. awful blinking cursor 2. I've got ctrl-shift mapped to language switching and I'm very used to it.
Tried to hack it: cursor - np, key bindings - bunch of problems, I don't know why, but GDK_CONTROL_MASK | GDK_MOD1_MASK doesn't work = tried to find some widget for setting accelerator keys - no luck.
eterm - very nice: 1. no multitabbing that sux... mrxvt - the best, but doesn't have a utf support
A bunch of other libvte-based terminals with the same bugs: 1. No configuration options (that stupid cursor blinking and keybindings are hardcoded)
Drop down: 1. tilda - too heavy, no key bindings customization 2. yakuake - the best, but too heavy 3. yeahconsole - didn't even start with screams: 10 XError request
I need a terminal application for linux with support for custom scripts and support to bind this scripts for hotkeys.For example I login into computers hundreds times a day. I don't want to write login and password, but to press a hotkey (Ctrl + Z for example) to automate this process. [input login, press Enter, input password, press enter, input some command...]
I'd like to redefine the actual colors that ANSI escape sequences show, i.e. I'd like to personalize what "light red" means and render it as, say, orange. Is there any terminal emulator that works under linux that allows me to do this? how?
Where does Ubuntu store the profiles information for Terminal sessions (e.g., colors, title bar menu on/off, etc.)? I managed to turn off the menu then set that as a default and can't access the profiles menu any more.
I am having trouble setting up a gnome-terminal to a specific profile. For example, when I open up R-cran I want the title to be 'R-cran'. And when I run Octave I would like the title to be 'Octave'. Pretty straight forward, so I thawt. So...I have been trying to set up and run different profiles for the different terminal windows that I want. I have set up 2 new profiles, 1) for R-cran 2) for Octave, each with their own titles.
I can successfully connect to a remote Windows Computer using Terminal Server Client but I cannot save the profile (Fedora 12).This means I have to enter the details every time I wish to connect. As I have many different remote locations I need to access on a regular basis is there any way to save the profiles?
I am designing a program called "Microcom", a VERY tiny terminal "emulator" (more like a serial console). I am making it specifically to work with uClibc to use as a serial console for my floppy disk distro.
Problem is, it works fine receiving data but it does not send any data.
I have a copy of Shake (I was given it by my friend) It is the Linux version and I have followed instructions to install and after a few problems and errors I think I have everything in place. However when I type the advised command from Terminal: 'csh Shake' All that happens is the terminal moves to a new line with no text. I can still type and press enter but nothing happens, just goes to a new blank line. Thing is it doesn't give any errors. I have chmod'd the correct folders, have installed all required included files and library's. Also, im sorry for posting this here, I could not post in the Multimedia section
so i want to have an embedded terminal on my desktop. alltray --borderless --skip-taskbar --sticky Terminal --hide-menubar --hide-borders --geometry 60x600+10-10 seems to work, however, its just on one desktop and it's appearing in the panel, despite my
