I have a normal computer installed (F14, 32 bits) with a sound card correctly installed. In a normal configuration into runlevel 5, I can play sound and the sound card is visible from the gnome-volume-control window.
I should modify the computer running a naked X server (without window manager and other stuff) and two applications (an xterm and a special application managing sounds). The last application is a text based application and could run on a text console. I have the X server running because I display picture sent from another computer. Currently the computer boots on runlevel 3 and logs in automatically. If I start manually my special application, it runs fine. I create a .xinitrc script with the xterm command and I change the .bashrc calling xinit. Each application runs well independently. My problem is when I try running my special sound application from the xterm window. I have no sound. If a run the gnome-volume-control command, the program shows that no sound card is available.
I suppose the X server removes the original sound configuration of the text mode during its initialization and could not initialize correctly after that the sound card.
how it is possible to initialize the sound card manually into the X server? Do I need running some gnome command before I can call my application?
so I recently got Vegastrike working after some toils with XTERM not loading. Now I purposefully changed the resolution too high so that the game would error out so that I could show you the sound bug. I do know that if I lower my resolution it will function, but I get no sound, no music, not even system beeps. I believe it's tied to one line of code, but being a total newb in linux I haven't figured out what I need to do to fix it.
[Code]...
I found somewhere that it was saying I had the wrong sound card when I have a realtek on my motherboard and it asked me to edit a file in the root directory, which I did, however it doesn't seem to help the issue. I'm totally stumped as to what the hell I need to do to get sound. Game looks amazing, but with no sound it's sorta worthless right at the moment.
I have the following problem with xterm on vnc on opensuse 11.4. I start a vncserver, and then inside that session I start xterm. However, if the xterm emits a beep/bel/ascii 7 then the sound comes out on the machine on which the *server* is running. Every other installation I've used has the sound come out on the viewer end (which is what you'd expect and want).
Start xpdf or gv. Click an xterm to be active and slide it over xpdf/gv. Vertical lines from xpdf/gv under the xterm stick to the xterm window above and make it unreadable.
The problem does NOT show with KDE default settings with display effects on but does show in fvwm, xfce etc, and in KDE without effects.
On a system with a Sandy Bridge integrated graphics (i5-2400) the problem went away by downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.13.0. But it was not enough for another system with 945G which needed downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.12.0.
I've just installed xterm, ant trying to run it from my windows machine using ssh. I have X11Forwarding yes on /etc/ssh/sshd_config when I use, MobaXterm, np, I can use xterm after I log ssh -X xxx
but when I use Cygwin, and do ssh -X xxx, and then xterm, I have: xterm XT error : Can't open display: xterm: Display is not set
I am running Fedora 14 and have run into a new problem. If I do either "su -" and enter password, or, "sudo su -" the terminal stops. I put a set -x in roots .bashrc and nothing. Login from a vt works and loging in as root from gdm produces nothing.
The usual operations in starting the xterm app don't seem to apply in Fedora 12. I usually prefer to put my own title and other attributes when starting an xterm. But the operation: xterm -T 'Some Title' does not do anything. Instead, the current directory is always displayed in the title bar of the window (on kde). Where is the resource file to disable this default behavior?
On FC14, launching xterm gives log:[b16394@udp158975uds ~]$ xterm Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStructxterm: cannot load font -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
The following line is in the /etc/bashrc file. I was trying to decipher it but no google results explain it in detail.PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne 33]0;${USER}${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}07"'I understand that 33 is the ASCII character for ESC but not sure what ]0 does or anything after the HOSTNAME variable.
when I start my redhat 4, there are always two xterm prompts. i just want to see a clean desktop when I start up. I checked my rc.local and .cshrc file. there is no clue on it. remove these two xterm?
When I run xterm from the command line, there seems to be some errors:
Code: $ xterm & $ Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct xterm: cannot load font -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 Then I press both the Ctrl and right mouse key, options are popup with font sizes of 'Default',
Recently,i'm studying around X server and client. when i was logining on and typing "init 3" on gnome-terminal in order to terminate x server.my purpose is x server starting through the command "xinit" only.and xterm to be first client for x server may be terminal.i'try typing "a bunch of commands" on tty1 (Ctrl + ALT + F1) to get through my testing .when a short command "xinit" of those without any agruments was executing, xterm was just staying instantly and disappearing soon. others i try commands,alway coming up with errors:Xterm Xt error: can't open display :%sXterm: Display is not set
Using the following command: xterm -e tail -f stdout.log
I can see the log of an applications and it's update in realtime. I want to uninstall the gnome and I'm looking for the equivalent command for the terminal. I want on startup tty4 for example to show me the log.
Our Fedora 15 linux box have the following requirements:
1. Runlevel 3 1. Autologin as root for convenience 2. Run Xorg 3. Run xterm on display :0.0 4. Lauch our program on display :0.0
So we simply put step 2 ~ step 4 in the .bash_profile of root user:
# .bash_profile if [ -f "/.bahsrc ]; then .~/.bashrc fi export DISPLAY=:0.0 Xorg & sleep 3 # for some reason, we need this three seconds to make sure that xterm start up successfully xterm &
The problem is, if I issue "kill xterm", it flashes out some messages disappearing so quick that I can't even read, and then leave me with a black screen with a cross cursor at the center. The system seems to be crashed, even the numlock doesn't work. Since we execute xterm & during logging in, now I can crash my system simply by pressing ctrl + C ! That's disaster!
I am quite new to Linux and fedora. I am trying to run some molecular simulation software whose shell scripts create X windows with the xterm command. How do I get xterm on Fedora 14?
I have a problem that I'm not sure how best to debug. About every other time when I boot my system, I get a condition where listing the files in /root locks up that xterm session.This can be cleared by opening another xterm window and killing the listing command. This happens on "ls -a", "find", "tar" and I think "stat" also. The locked up xterm echo's chararcters but does not respond to any control sequences. This is new with FC11.This has only been seen to happen for root. And once a system is booted with this problem it seems to persist until you get it booted without the problem.
Installed Fedora 11 successfully, but I cannot get the MP3 files to produce sound.
Have tried the default configuration for sound, the Pulseaudio and the PulseAudioSoundServer.Installed and use KDE interface. Sound works for SKYPE (after selecting HDAIntel) and the Firefox 3.5 Beta 4.
I don't know what I did but I lost all audio. I'm running F15 with gnome 3. By opening system settings and then sound I don't find anything muted. Under hardware I have 3 devices, the first is RS880 Audio Device (Radeon HD 4200) this one has no sound at all when I click test speakers. Then I have quickcam comm STX and then I have Internal Audio which works by clicking on test speakers.. I have no clue of where to start to fix this but reinstall everything again.
I'm using a HP 7100 laptop and have tried installing the latest versions of Suse, Mandriva, as well as Slakware and have repeatedly been faced with two problems: .1. No Sound: Research via the web suggests that the lack of sound MAY BE due to the particular HP laptop model but there is a doubt here. Sound does work with the Winow$ 7 software but it does not work with any of the above noted Linux softwares. Are any of you familiar with this? .2. KPPP: Are any of you using KPPP with the latest version of Fedora, using KDE4? If so, how did you get it to work?
My PC has the ASUS P7H55-M SI motherboard with the audio chipset VIA VT1708S. Under Fedora 13 (64-bit) I have no sound although the audio chipset seems to be properly recognised and supported by the OS.
I used the alsmixer application and I set the volume for all channels, including PCM to their maximum value but still I get no sound. When the OS boots I hear a "click" sound coming from the audio chipset when it is initialised by the kernel but then the sound stops and I hear nothing.
Note that I do not have this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 but I have the same issue with openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7. My guess is that F13 and openSUSE 11.3 having newer kernel/alsa software versions exhibit this problem due to some bug introduced to the code.
Here is some extra information:

Before Fedora 14 i have Fedora 12 and all was ok with sound. Starting with root account surprize i have sound. But after playing a song in xmms, sound is dead. I have tested sound in Windows and is ok.
I use Putty from my machine (named host1) to ssh into an OpenSUSE box (named box1) and would like to have a gui to use. I am trying to issue xterm and am getting the following error:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set
I recently upgraded from xubuntu 9.04 to 11.04, and it seems xterm is either incorrectly configured for the new desktop or not working right. After a bit of typing, xterm stops refreshing, and only the first few chars or words are shown until I manually refresh xterm (then, whatever I'd written shows up correctly).
Steps to reproduce 1. Open xterm, basic command prompt shows up 2. Type "hello, this is a test", xterm only shows "hello, th" 3. Press 'ctrl-l' or click outside the xterm window, xterm updates with full "hello, this is a test"
Already tried dpkg-reconfigure with no success.
Attached is the output from "appres XTerm" and "infocmp"
I had this error when installing and running a vncserver before, which I have now removed. However, the xterm's seem to remain in the system and are regenerating themselves. Should the pid IDs stay the same each time I run this?
