Fedora Installation :: No Terminal Window In KDE 4.2.3-1
Jun 2, 2009
Have installed fedora core 10 [kernel 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 on intel core 2 Duo machine all disks encrypted. When I try to obtain a terminal window from run level 5 (KDE desktop environment) I get a bouncy terminal icon that disappears after about 15-20 seconds. No terminal window. The only way to get a command line is to press ctrl-alt-F2 and return to runlevel 3. How do I get a functional command line in runlevel 5?

i'm not sure for using the correct channel here but i hope someone out there can answer my little questions. 1st in older version i was able to change the settings of the terminal look as the font color, background color and so on. I was also able to define a default window size of a new terminal window. But since after upgrading to to the first release this year and a complete new installation of the current release Maverick i do not find this option anymore. Is there a way how to set up the terminal default window size?

Newly installed Debian system from years with Fedora. Ran system update and system got hosed, booted but no Gnome. Got Gnome back after MANY 'aptitude upgrade's. Xemacs disappeared! Along with other things I installed. Tried to install Xemacs but it is broken and will not install, complains about dpkg TOO current(?). So downloaded Xemacs for Xemacs.org and compiled source, installed.
Now when I start Xemacs is does not run in an X window but runs emacs in a terminal window. If I run it from a script, it complains about 'not in tty window'.
My env show:
Code:
The Xemacs install on Debian ( Bug written ) Install and configuration of Xemacs from source. A better understanding of the Debian upgrade process.

I am able to invoke 'skype' using the following command in a Terminal window. < export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so && skype & >. I want to be able to enter it through the Gnome Application interface. I right click on the skype icon and went to properties and added the above code. When I click the icon I get the following error message set out on the attachment? properly enter the commands within the application Command: line?

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.

After finally fixing a problem with screen resolutions on my son's PC, (it was stuck at 640x480), now the Terminal window comes up as blank space. I can still type command lines, but can't see what I'm typing nor the response - it's all a white box

I'm writting a BASH script for a solaris system and need to have text enter into a console window. I've got so far:
#!/bin/bash
xterm
echo "text goes here"
When I run it I get the terminal window but the text going into another window. Nothing that I've found on this site helps me so far. If this is the wrong board, I'm sorry but I figured I'm about as newbie as it gets.

I like to alias my firefox commands so I can open up mutiple pages at once. This works great. firefox [URL]
But if I have firefox already up and running it will open as tabs of the firefox I already have running. How can I open the multiple pages in a new window in this case?
- Using -no-remote could work, but I would have to make a whole different firefox profile for each set of pages, not really a solution. - Also tried setting it to a particular display and it opened as a tab again. ie. firefox [URL] -display=":0.0"

I don't quite know how to put this problem - recently, my installation has started losing the text in terminal and other windows. I will open a terminal window, and there's nothing there - no cursor, no background. After this occurs, I try to restart the system - the 'Restart" window appears, and is also blank. Hitting enter at this point blanks the entire screen to black, after which the only recourse is to power-down and restart. Of course, then I need to run the recovery mode and fsck to get the system back up.
The first time this happened, I had to rebuild the kernel to recover. Luckily, i lost no data, but this is making the system unusable. I need a stable system to finish the project I am developing for an embedded Linux system.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10, with the latest updates.

running 9.10 trying to run applications on Wine. I have a problem with my diabetes software as Bayer Glucofacts requires Java Runtime Envirionment 1.6.0_07 or higher to install.I suspect that I would need to download and install JRE through a terminal window? I have done some with YUM but cannot figure out how to yet with Ubuntu.

We have created a stripped own version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and removed the screen saver and power management options from the desktop as we have turned off the menu. The reason for this is security as we do not want users having any other options then what shows on the desktop. What is the sudo command to get back to this or do I need to under the administrator profile Create a Launcher icon?
