Debian :: Temporarily Change The Codepage That Is Used In A Terminal?
Mar 12, 2010
Is there any way to temporarily change the codepage that is used in a terminal?I'm using a couple of internet BBSes and since they're made in the stoneage they can't really handle UTF-8. So I wonder if there's a way to temporarily change the codepage in the terminal to Latin-1? It would also work with a ssh or telnet-client where you can change it. I've looked at putty but it seems to lack cut and paste and support for links which makes it less usefull for me.

I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't found an elegant way to do it. I can't just use the GUI since I want to integrate this line of code into a greater shell script for this project.
My preferred terminal is terminator, but it doesn't really matter at this point.

I am wanting to try to change my normal user (bbq) to a different screen size within my secondary user (lfs). I was wondering how one would do that.
This happened when OpenClonk changed my screen resolution and when i changed it back my screen blacked out (and me being the idiot save it).
Debian 8 GNOME
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.

I'm currently running my own postfix server which is the MX for my domain. This is hosted in my house at the moment on the end of an ADSL line with a static IP. However, I'm trying to go totally mobile so I can kill the ADSL and the line rental and switch to 3G. Does anyone know a solution which allows me to accept (or ask for delivery) of SMTP when temporarily connected and queues it externally? Sort of like a hosted mail queue which pumps SMTP onto my laptop only when I ask it to.

I've fallen in love with Terminator as a replacement for the standard gnome-terminal app.
However, I'm also very much in the habit of using the nautilus-open-terminal extension for launching new terminal sessions.
I'd like nautilus-open-terminal to launch Terminator rather than gnome-terminal.
A quick search of my system and the web didn't reveal anything. i didn't find a gconf setting to control this. A quick look at the source code didn't help much either.

Now I know that in order to change the colors in your terminal you have to play around with ~/.bashrc But the effects don't stay in place after a change-root is taken affect. It just reverts to black. Is there any way I can change that too in .bashrc?

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.

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?

I 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.

Basically i have a 1TB USB HDD that is formatted HFS+ (i used to use it attached to a hacked AppleTV, it has loads of media on it).
Appletv wasn't great, so now i have a lovely acer revo running XBMC Live, and it's blooming great. my problem is my USB drive mounts, but i think it's read-only, as i am struggling to sftp new files to it. so my question is:
How do i make the drive writeable?
I've read things about disabling journling, an fstab file, chown in terminal, but im really struggling.
In temrinal if i navigate to the /media folder and run ls -al, i get this: (note the usb drive is called AppleTV)
revo@XBMCLive:
How to make it read-write? i'm happy for it to have full write access by root, or all users or whatever. im sure its 1 line in terminal!

It appears to me that with the default .bashrc the user, computer, and working directory are shown in the title. If so, I see no need for that info in the prompt (space waster).
If this is always true, how do I change my prompt to simply "$" and the root prompt to simply "#"?

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on our laptop. for convenience I also installed the dutch (gnome) translation and selected Dutch as the default language so all menu's and localisation is suitable for the Netherlands and the misses understands stuff. However I noticed that the gnome terminal is also translated so all output from bash is now in Dutch too. This is really inconvenient since I have been using bash in english on fedora and ubuntu for 10 years now. So is there a way to reconfigure gnome term (bash) to default back to english and leave the GUI in Dutch?

Editing the profile in gnome-terminal has absolutely no effect on the appearance. I can change background color, transparency, image, etc. in the profile edit window, save changes,and the _actual_ terminal appearance does not change at all. I did make sure to switch to the edited profile after editing -- to no avail.The default navy-on-light-blue isn't bad, but the light-green default for executables is effectively completely invisible on the light blue background.Is this a bug? Or does someone have a workaround?FWIW, gnome-terminal in 9.10 was completely customizable

I program in C with geany and two terminals open; one to compile and one to test the compiled program. The thing is that it's hard to the eyes to keep track of the messages and such when the terminal prompt is too long:
Code:
manos@manos-desktop:/media/Iomega1TB/Documents/UNI/Datastrukturer och Algoritmer/labbar/lab1$
How can I change that to something minimal? I don't want a permanent solution as all other times I want to be aware of the current path.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04. When I first installed it, the virtual terminals had a good font size. After a few weeks, I set the visual appearance setting to normal (in the gui desktop). Doing this required me to install third party graphics drivers from nvidia. in installed fine, and my gui desktop still functions as I would expect, however, all of the virtual terminals now have a much larger font size, as does the ubuntu boot logo.
