View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Dynamic Transparent Terminal Needed
Feb 4, 2011I am trying to figure out how to make my terminal emulator dynamically transparent ( see through to the action below that window - Browser, video et cettera and not just the default wallpaper) . I figured out how to make transparent but not "dynamic". I have seen people mentioned you need to enable compositing but I am unsure how to do that in Gnome. I recall from a prior use of XFCE this was an option in that WM but I can't find in Gnome or compiz (if needed)
I am running Gnome on Debian Squeeze and have installed compiz. Any direction would be appreciated. I find reading web tutorials through the terminal to be very helpful so I can practice the command line or even practice commands while watching a good video .

Aug 22, 2010I have my xbox 360 connected to my laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 using the Ushare program. In order to reset Ushare and have it send any new files I have to the 360, I have to go into the terminal and enter
sudo /etc/init.d/ushare stop

Ubuntu :: How To Make Rsync Command Open In Terminal
Sep 14, 2010I have the following rsync command for making some backups:
Code:
rsync -r --progress --delete -H --numeric-ids -a --exclude=.gvfs /source /media/Backup
If I paste that in my Terminal, it will perform a backup of all the files and show me what's going on in the Terminal window. But how can I make that into a launcher? I have made a launcher on my desktop with that code in its Properties, but double-clicking it starts the rsync process (I can see HDD activity) but a Terminal window won't open.

Apr 5, 2011I ran across this the other day and was instantly amazed.He says he uses a custom Vim colorscheme (easy) and dwm with tmux. I've downloaded tmux and I'm having some issues with it (my CTRL-b hotkey wont work), but I'm confused at how to start designing something similar to what he has done.My idea is to get my terminal to look like this, then remove KDE from my laptop so that all my computer is is this awesome thing.
How should I go about starting modeling something like this? In the picture, what does tmux handle and what does dwm handle? Speaking from someone who has never used any of them.

Apr 22, 2010I 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.
General :: Terminal Proxy Or Screen Without Terminal Emulation?
May 26, 2010How 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:
