I am working using vm-ware and had installed Fedora 12 as Linux Operating system. As I had started my Firefox it was showing some problems and then my terminal stops working. I am not able to detect that why my terminal is not working properly. It is not starting at all. I am not able to type any command in my command window.

I noticed a few days ago, that history feature is not working on my ubuntu 10.10 notebook edition terminal. I mean I enter a bunch of commands today and then shut down. Come back again tomorrow and turn on the machine and open the terminal, but up and down arrows won't bring any old commands that I used today.

I've discussed this with my brother, who knows a considerable amount more than I do on this, he said I had to download Fedora to my hard drive, to fix the problem of the me having to redownload, as with the freezing, We still have not come to conclusion on the freezing.

I 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.
I recently installed Fedora 12 for some Linux testing. When I switch between virtual terminals (CTRL-f1 Ctrl-f2) I can no longer scroll back in the VT I left and came back to. Any new data created will be scrollable, but i can never get back to before the switch. I'm sure this used to work (several years ago). Was this introduced as a security feature to prevent left over data on VTs from being seen by the wrong eyes? If so, is there a way to get the old functionality back?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow 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:
Right now when I start a program from a terminal I can't use that terminal instance again until I close the program.
I am a new user of linux, and I want to know if there is a way to execute a program/application from a terminal without blocking the terminal until the program ends.
Our office housing keeping guy sat on my linux (Fedora 7) system and somehow removed the main panel. By panel I mean where all the menus are there - Applications, Places, System etc. and contains a tab for every running application. I brought back the panel but now I don't see the terminal launcher and I can't find it anywhere.It used to be there in "Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal" but now the System Tools option itself is not present there. System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Main Menu. There one System option is unchecked but I can't check it and apply. I am logged in as root.

Thank a lot for any help.

I'm running a game called EV Nova (which runs perfectly well in WINE). I'm trying to set up a Menu item for it, but the Terminal command fails.
What works:
Right-clicking EV Nova.exe and selecting "Run with Wine Windows Program Loader"
What doesn't:
wine /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/nova/EV Nova.exe
wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/nova/EV Nova.exe"
wine "C:\Program Files\nova\EV Nova.exe"
...or pretty much any other Terminal command.
