Fedora :: Delete Key In Terminal / Screen?
Mar 7, 2011
How can I get the delete key to work "properly" in a console in Fedora 14? In most Linux's I use, the delete key acts as a 'forward delete', so it deletes the character right under the cursor. This is the same behavior as in any modern GUI application. But in my fedora box when I use the delete key it inserts a tilde.s happens in Gnome's terminal application, and also in a TTY console. If I run screen the behavior gets really strange, and it seems to change the capitalization of the character under the cursor, andterferes with subsequent keystrokes. I've tried a couple of things for screen,ke executing "TERM=screen screen" (really bizarre results) and putting "termcapinfo xterm-color kD=E[3~" in my ~/.screenrc, which didn't seem to do anything useful.

Forum, I note many references re best to not use root when doing general work in the terminal screen but when I try and log in as another user the screen disapearsWith a server, can the users (windows xp pc's) use their login to login on a server terminal screen or do I need to create a new user for the server only??Using Putty to get in as root but with so many warnings out there it is only time before the &$%@ hits the punker

I'm using 10.04, and gnome-terminal GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 . I have irssi running on screen session on remote host. And I've been struggling for quite many days to configure it to produce either visual feedback or ring terminal's bell when I receive a private message or one of those that are highlighted.
My compiz settings window in General tab has 'Audible bell' checked.
My GNOME terminal has 'Terminal bell' checked.
I also added 'set bell-style audible' to my ~/.inputrc
And I also tried to manually load pcspkr module into my kernel.
No of the above helped or at least I haven't been able to notice any difference.
I also used some commands for irssi to produce bell sign.

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.

How can I make terminal applications immune to terminal emulator close, but still able to use all virtual terminal features?
egin{UPDATE}I want my terminal application remain alive and accessible if I accidentally close terminal emulator. This functionality is provided by screen and tmux, but they have issues with colors and they flush screen.Yes,I can run the shell inside screen, but I do not want the shell remain alive unless there is some other program running.
end{UPDATE}I see this must be something like screen, but without VT100 terminal emulation, something which will just apply whatever application does with "terminal proxy"'s terminal (like outputting something to stdout/stderr or using stty to set terminal options) to the terminal this proxy runs in.
// I know about screen and altscreen on, but it makes either this (screen with TERM=screen):
or this (screen with TERM=rxvt-unicode):
while I want this (rxvt-unicode without screen):
I have figured out that everything looks fine if I compile rxvt-unicode with USE=-xterm-color (in fact vim looks like on the second picture even without screen if I add this USE flag) and set TERM=screen-256color, but I do not like this workaround because it actually changes colors and I can't be sure that it will always change them only this way:

When I click on the email, that's it - I have to end the Evolution process and go back in again. Definitely can't double click it, or right-click to delete or simply delete. It just freezes. I can't see any of the text of the email, but I can see that there is a .tiff attachment.I've poked around in the .evolution/ folders and can'tfind the right thing to delete to get rid of this specific email

We have a load of undeliverable emails backed up on the server. The problem we have is that the server we purchased from a well known host is rubbish. It does not matter how many times we use outlook to get the emails off the server, it just keeps timing out.Question I want to ask is:1) How can I view the number of emails on the server via the terminal2) How do I then delete these directly off the server via the terminal

So I setup VNC on my Mac (that runs Snow Leopard) and my PC (that runs Ubuntu) and I gave the IP address to Ubuntu, entered the password and it worked fine. The problem is that it still works fine... I only made this connection to test it because I thought it'd be cool, which it was (for a while). Now I cannot delete this connection whatsoever!
I have tried changing the password on the Mac, limiting the users, and even switching it off completely by unchecking its checkbox. I have also tried limiting the users... BUT UBUNTU STILL MANAGES TO GET INTO MY COMPUTER! This is really annoying because anyone using the PC downstairs can now go into my Mac and mess about with things - I hate this. Somehow, Ubuntu has locked in on my Mac and, despite the changes, can earn access no matter what!

I have Ubuntu 10.04 running kernel .26 installed on my Dell Dimension 2350 with 512mb of memory. The problem I have been having is, When I am using the computer mostly Internet stuff for no reason the monitor will go black then on the screen it will be at a terminal screen, kind of like when you start up the computer, I don't remember what is all on it but the last thing in the list was: checking battery state: OK after that the screen will flash in multiple colors and then it goes into a loop of just black screen than a colorful flash and back over to a black screen. the only way I can fix that is by holding down the power button. this will happen mostly on face-book on the games and just on the profile page, but it does happen just checking my gmail or play solitaire it does this around 4-8 times a day.

i am fairly new to Ubuntu. i was using it fine for a month, but today, when i booted my computer up, it came up with a black screen instead of the normal purple ubuntu screen. the black screen had white text on it, and asked for my username and password. from there, it was a terminal prompt. i have been google searching for a while, and have tried typing "startx", "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", "sudo gdm", and i have also tryed uninstalling xorg, and reinstalling, and none of these things wanted to do anything for me.

Recently I setup a system for a non-technical user. He is only using Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice for about 2 hours a day. I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?

Having recently looked at my monitor property using <Preferences> <Monitors> I now have a small pink rectangular graphic at the top left corner of my screen which hides the first part of the launch panel, as well as the main controls on any window placed in this position.
This graphic is identical in colour and content to that presented by the <Monitors Preferences> app. How do I delete it? It's not click-able drag-able or editable. It doesn't even appear to be a window.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, and I installed it via the Update Manager and restarted as normal. But, as I went on my dual boot OS selection screen and selected Ubuntu, this message appeared:
init: udevtrigger main process ( 398 ) terminated with status 1
init: udevtrigger post-stop process (404) terminated with status 1
init: udevmonitor main process (397) killed by TERM signal
The disk drive for / is not yet ready or is not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual
I'm afraid to do anything after this screen...

I am using screen for serial terminal, but it seems to be lacking in that there is no scrollback. Is there any way to configure scrollback in screen or is there another terminal emulator that is full-featured and allows scrollback?

Every time I log in, a terminal appears on my screen. Previously, I attempted to embed a terminal as part of the desktop but I have deleted all the scripts and packages used, yet the terminal still appears. It is not an embedded terminal, but it does not have the panel at the top. It appears as a window on the lower panel of my screen. Is there anyway to stop this from appearing, so I can then attempt to start over with embedding a terminal in the desktop?

I use vnc to log into my Ubuntu desktop at work from home, is there a way to blank-out or lock the terminal screen while I am connected remotely, just like in windows remote login? I don't seem to find the option in vncserver to allow for that.Also, I am aware of the workaround of starting a new X session, but I can not do that because I can not waste any processing resources.

Although I have been using Ubuntu for a while, I am still a beginner.This is the second time that it has happened to me and I am unable to find a possible solution in my books on Linux and Ubuntu.Twice I have downloaded updates from Update Manager which required a reboot. Each time I have rebooted,terminal window has opened. I am unable to get out of terminal to the desktop or to enter any other program ( like office,etc). I know that the graphics are still in place as The Ubuntu 10.10 screen flashes on before the terminal black screen appears.(I am in runlevel 2 )A. How can I get out of terminal and onto desktop?

As I am getting to know the Ubuntu terminal, I am looking for this application that can automatically divide the current screen by showing a Terminal window at the top.
i already set up a shortcut to open the traditional terminal Window, also i know of the full screen terminal window by pressing ATL+F1 but as I am reading a tutorial I would find it convenient to simply type above the screen while reading the bottom

A friend of mine said he could make my system faster and preceded to kill some processes. I have no idea if that is related but my computer worked fine until I shut it down for a while. When I went back and turned it on it gives me a screen is mostly black with the terminal in the top left corner. If I type "exit" it takes me to the Ubuntu login screen with the colorful background and all. If I sign in it takes me right back to the previous described screen. I dont think it has anything to do with the graphics card or driver because on the login screen and even on the black screen I have a cursor. Plus using nano to view the Xorg log I saw no errors. I have also in desperation removed all Xorg.conf files and remade them and I have tried startx. dont tell me I should backup all my files and pop in an image disk and go from scratch

So I've got this home file server, and I want to display certain stuff using:
top
who
a tcpdump of snort logs, scrolling in real time
I want it to display on the screen using a split terminal screen, so all of the information shows on one display, but I do not want it to be vulnerable to a local attacker. Is there any way I can have these things start up at login, but prevent that user from doing anything other than viewing this information?
