Ubuntu :: Pimp Command Line (Fonts, Colors, Hacks, Terminal Profiles)?
Mar 7, 2011So I used Arch linux for a while and was really impressed and how colorful the commandline output was. Not only from ls, which I was able to emulate by adding "alias ls="ls --color"" to my .bashrc, but also during, say, bootup and other times.Anyway, I was just wondering, what tricks do you guys use to make your command line experience more visually appealing? Fonts, colors, hacks, terminal profiles?

Mar 26, 2011I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,

General :: Grep - Manipulating Large Text File Full Of Records
Nov 26, 2010I'm trying to manipulate a large text file full of records (metadata - one complete record per line). I need to delete every line on which certain words appear - there are five different words, all pretty simple all-caps strings with occasional whitespace. I tried using grep -v, which worked a treat, but only string-by-string. Ideally I'd like to run this as grep -v -f, where the file targeted by the -f contains the strings I need to match in order to delete the lines they're in.
i.e. grep -v -f filecontainingSTRINGS.txt targetfile.txt > outputfile.txt
When I try this, however, I don't get any matches - or more specifically, no changes are made in the output file. It works fine if there's only one string in filecontainingSTRINGS, but it doesn't work if there's more than one (I'm using newline as the delimiter). (Also my machine doesn't recognise /usr/xpg4/bin/grep - no idea what that's all about!)

At that time I was connected to the system via putty and wrote the command init 5 and the x server started again normally. I tried init 3 again and had the same thing.

It seems like it's waiting for something, but I don't know if it requires action on my part or not. Pressing enter simply returns another, identical line. When I Ctrl + C, it says Aborted, meaning something was clearly processing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Start GUI Programs From The Command Line?
Aug 18, 2010In Windows, if I have a console window open, type winmine, and press enter, Minesweeper will appear, completely separate from the cmd program. The Minesweeper instance is not tied to the command prompt in any way that I know of, with the exception of Minesweeper's parent being set to that instance of the command prompt. It's different in Linux, however.
In Linux, if I have a console window open, type emacs and press enter, Emacs will open, but it seems tied to the command line. Specifically, it appears that I can't use the command line anymore until that instance of Emacs is closed. Is there a way to replicate the Windows behavior in Linux?
General :: Osx - How Does Mac's Command Line Compare To System
Aug 23, 2010I love Ubuntu Linux - especially the commmand line. But I have to admit that, at least for now, Windows is more user-friendly - there's more software for it, more drivers, and more stuff just works.
Knowing that Mac is built on Unix makes me wonder if it's the sweet spot between them. But I wonder: how similar is the Mac command line to Linux's bash? Could I pick right up with using vim and bash scripting and git, etc? Would common commands like changing directories be different? Does anybody know an online "compare and contrast" resource?

General :: Empty Bash Command Line?
Sep 28, 2010I am looking for a way to delete the currently entered commandline without wasting seconds on the "Backspace"-key.
For example I scrolled the bash history and have a long commandline that would execute when I pressed ENTER:
~$ aptitude search openssl | grep dev
But now I decide that I do not want to execute this command. Can I get an empty prompt fast without deleting the whole line with Backspace? On the Windows "cmd" you can just press ESCAPE and it is gone. This behavior would be what I want.
The question may seem trivial but this is bothering me for a long time now.
