Is there any config files for xterm for default settings? For example, on my system, xterm start with black text on white background, and I want it the other way around. I can do it by starting it with:
xterm -bg black -fg white.
I want to set in a config file that if I run it without arguments, it will start with these options.
I have a xterm which can have 256 colors. How can I configure the prompt colors and ls output colors to take advantages of the 256 color values?

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 have a desktop computer running Debian Lenny, a 56 K modem, and a dial-up account, currently configured like this: computer -> modem -> UPS -> phone jack
When I run off a Knoppix live CD, I can use kppp to configure pppd (using PAP/CHAP authentication and hardware control flow) to dialup and surf. When I try to user kppp to configure pppd exactly the same way on my hard drive installation, I get nothing. Both my Knoppix live CD and Debian Lenny use exactly the same version of kppp, but the pppd related files in /etc/ppp look a bit different.
Under both Knoppix and Debian Lenny hard drive installation, when I try to connect, the login debug window of kppp shows:
Code:
ATZ
OK
ATM1L1
OK
ATDT [phone number]
At this point I hear the modem dialing out, and when using Knoppix, after a few seconds I see
Code:
Which I think corresponds to my route to the InterNet being established through my ISP. When using the hard drive install, I never see the CONNECT, and all indications are that my modem is not sending authentication information at all, but getting stuck right after dialing out, so that my ISP gets a phone call from a modem which... refuses to speak. I never had any problems before, so I am baffled.
So apparently my system is currently misconfigured in some way which prevents point to point protocol from getting out.
Questions:
I have a firewall on my computer which I set up using guarddog. I have enabled point to point protocol from internet zone to local zone. I know that ppp is a symmetrical protocol, but my understanding is that I do not need to enable point to point from local to internet zone. I have not enabled irc protocol because my understanding is that this is only relevant to software flow control using chat scripts. Does this sound correct? Is there some additional protocol I need to allow in order to use pppd to dial out?
When I reboot my computer (off the hard drive) I sometimes see that the system complaining about a failure to stop every process, and sometimes I see mention of an eth0.pid. I have been looking for lock files; would they all be in /var/run?
When I use kppp to configure pppd, I want to do that as my ordinary user for at least two reasons, correct? don't want to run pppd as root user for security reasons kppp is a GUI and root user can't use X (on Debian)
So I should see in home directory of my ordinary user
.kde/share/config/kppprc
.kde/share/apps/kppp
But not in /root directory, correct? What pppd related processes should I see with ps -ef if everything is working?
I am beginner for linux. I wanted to ask something about xterm.

2. what is the use of xterm and how can we use it.
I was reading [URL] which as the following in "Warning": Warning It is not a good idea to configure InnoDB to use data files or log files on NFS volumes. Otherwise, the files might be locked by other processes and become unavailable for use by MySQL. What does that mean, and how can one configure or check to ensure the above is being followed?

Is there a command to find out on what xterm I am (gnome, kdm, etc)? I currently have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSomething weird sometimes happens on my Debian system. Typically at the prompt line I can use combo like alt-d to delete a word, alt-f to go to the next word, etc. But quite regularly something happens in my xterm that makes alt-d and alt-f not work anymore: suddenly they print 'ä' (alt-d) and 'æ' (alt-f).
Note that this happens in a terminal that was acting like I wanted to at first. But then somehow must send a code or something that changes the behavior of the terminal. It happens in xterm because that's where I always work. If I go to a console by doing ctrl+alt+f1 then by default alt-d does what I want (delete word) and so does alt-f. Maybe that I could screw that one too by doing some bad manipulation: I just don't know because I don't work in text mode.
Also note that if I spawn an xterm from the "broken" xterm, then the new xterm work as I expect. What is going on? What am I turning on that was off previously? My .Xresources says that and, once again, when I open an xterm it behaves as I expect it, it's only later on that "something" makes that it goes back to broken "I-print-characters-with-diacritics-and-other-nonsense" mode:
$ more .Xresources

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm using Xterm. While running a prog/command if I scroll up and reading something on the screen, the xterm view resets to bottom if there is some output from the running command.
I tried enabling/disabling jump scroll, asynchronous scroll, scroll to bottom on tty output options of Xterm with no avail. In one way or the other way, the screen is scrolling or resetting to bottom if there is some output to screen.
I want to stop this behavior and the scroll should work as if it is in Konsole. The new output to screen should simply add at the bottom and the current viewing point should remain unscrolled. pls let me know if there is any working solution for this xterm problem.
I was wondering how to change the xterm font size and may be the font itself. Also we go to tty1 when we press Ctrl+Alt+f1 , f3 and so on. Is there any way I can change that too and maybe change the colour of the font and the size of it. I did change the resolution once in ubuntu with startup manager. I'm using fedora 14.

I'm having difficulty setting custom ls colors in xterm. If I understand it right one can edit the system-wide file located in /etc/DIR_COLORS to modify every terminal or customize xterm; I chose xterm mostly because the other terminals I never use. Here is my .bash_profile and .bashrc respectively:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
source /etc/bashrc
fi
alias ls='ls --color -F'
PS1='[e[1;32m][u@h:w]$[e[0m] '
When I use the login shell, the colors are different than xterm in that they are not as bright; furthermore, I marked out bold fonts in .Xresources:
!xterm colors
xterm*foreground: #d3d3d3
xterm*background: #000000
xterm*boldColors: false
xterm*cursorBlink: true
xterm*cursorColor: white
xterm*loginShell: false
xterm*faceName: Liberation Mono
xterm*faceSize: 10
So, there must be a file around somewhere that is changing the colors between the interactive and login shells. Also,
man xterm:
color6 (class Color6)
color7 (class Color7)
These specify the colors for the ISO-6429 extension. The defaults are, respectively, black, red3, green3, yellow3, a customizable dark blue, magenta3, cyan3 and gray90. The default shades of color are chosen to allow the colors 8-15 to be used as brighter versions. How does that get anyone anywhere with setting the color? It doesn't say what color (class) is assigned to which file specifically, thus adhering to the distribution-wide color codes. Perhaps I am making this more difficult than it should be.
What should I put in my .twmrc, so that an xterm window is brought to front (raised) when I click anywhere in the window. Currently, I have to click on the title bar to bring it to front. Presently, I don't have any .twmrc in my Home folder.

I'd like to make an indirect control for Emacs (in Ubuntu Linux) so that I can swipe some text in an xterm with the cursor, cutting it into the X cut buffer, then run a macro in Emacs to parse the cut buffer text to look for text saying "line XXXX" where X is all digits, then go to that line in the current Emacs buffer. I think this is possible by using emacsclient to get emacs to run a macro, then the macro parsing the cut buffer, then issuing a goto-line command to the number that's been parsed. My problem is I don't know how to write the emacs script to read the X cut buffer and parse it.. I've been going through cookbook examples but none seem to fit.
My goal is to ease development. When I have an error/information/status message printed in an xterm, I want to swipe the error message which says something like "syntax error on line 2776" then press a keyboard shortcut which Ubuntu will interpret to launch emacsclient, which causes my already-open Emacs to grab that text, parse it, and go to the line number I just swiped. Only this last step of parsing is the hard part. (Yes, I know you can run a shell INSIDE of emacs, but this is doesn't fit my workflow). How would I make emacs look at that X cut buffer and parse out the line number and issue the "goto-line" command to the current buffer?
I wanted to launch sqlite3 with the command:
xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &
The xterm window flashes for a moment and then terminates. Exactly the same result is encountered with:
a) xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;"" (as suggested in man xterm)
b)giving an alias in .bashrc to:
sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;"
and running: xterm -e alias
c)giving: xterm -e echo "something"
d)using: konsole -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &
If a launch sqlite3 with:
xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database &
The xterm window launches with no problem and sqlite3 opens the database as expected. If I enter "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" every thing works as expected and I get the correct result.
The same applies if I launch xterm with: xterm & and then: sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT *FROM TABLE;" to the command line.I sometimes use xterm -e to launch applications to a separate window and never had the slightest problem. I suspect it might be a bash thing (konsole and echo not working as well as above stated) and not an xterm thing. I made a search in man bash for quoting and backslashing but it didn't bright up things.
If I do setenv DISPLAY other_machine:0 and launch a gui application I can send this application to my other_machine Is there any mean (utility or whatever) to send an OPEN application to another machine (by its pid eventually) So if I have an nedit open, and its pid is 13245, I could do something like send_to_display pid=13245 machine=other_machine:0
