View 14 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: The Bash Prompt Displays Twice?
Feb 19, 2010I'm playing around with my prompt, and for some reason under certain conditions part of the prompt is output twice.
- When my terminal window isn't maximized it always outputs the prompt correctly.
- When the window is maximized it outputs the prompt correctly when I enter an empty command (ie, when I just hit enter).
- When it is maximized and I enter any command, it outputs the second line of my prompt twice.
I'm using urxvt.. I tested in xterm and it seems to work correctly, so I guess it's an issue with urxvt. My prompt code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
function redblue {
local BLUE="[33[0;34m]"
local RED="[33[0;31m]"
local LIGHT_RED="[33[1;31m]"

Mar 18, 2010Im used to using nautilus within centos but have recently just got a VPS and quickly realising that using a KDE is unacceptable in this environment. Although I do find it so much quicker doing things like folder permissions in KDE rather than typing it all out in the terminal? Everyone I speak to says, use the terminal and I should learn this way as opposed to using the KDE, but theres certain things I just dont get
How is it possible to make quick changes to scripts and viewing them in a browser etc , without a mouse or using KDE? and only using a terminal?? I am wondering how to develop websites just using the terminal?
How can it be quicker to type out/view permissions etc in the terminal when its instant and just a few clicks in the KDE?

Jun 23, 2011I want to be able to time how long I spend in front of a terminal. I'm thinking the best way will be to have some sort of timer that starts and stops when the terminal gains/loses focus. And it will have to work with multiple terminals...

General :: [Bash] Send Command To Another Terminal?
Sep 10, 2010I open up 2 xterms on my desktop, A(/dev/pts/0) and B(/dev/pts/1).I can write from A to B using redirection e.g. echo "test" > /dev/pts/1How do I run a command from A on B? e.g. "clear"Basically I'm putting the 2 terminals side by side, and using terminal B to display the contents of the current working directory, by running the following in A:export PROMPT_COMMAND="ls -a > /dev/pts/1"but this fills up the screen pretty fast. I was actually looking for a way to clear up the second terminal.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Bash Broken, Lost Functionality In Terminal (gnome-terminal)?
Dec 10, 2010Linux-goers. I did some research on this, but I am still fairly new to Linux. In Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), I accidentally overwrote my "/bin/bash" file. Dude, using "sudo" with a small typo can work disasters. Bash is now broken in the Terminal (gnome-terminal). Terminal itself still works fine, technically, but bash is still hosed/broken. Here is what I did to try to fix it: Booted from Ubuntu 10.10 live CD. Mounted my Ubuntu partition and manually copied the good/fresh "bash" file onto my hard drive. Verified copy was successful. Didn't help, as you see. Reinstalled "gnome-terminal" using synaptic package manager. Tried to reinstall bash via synaptic, it failed with error, "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.1-2ubuntu4_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2"
In Terminal, all basic commands work as far as I can tell. ("ls", "pwd", navigation, etc.) Here are some problems:My "username@computername" does not display in the prompt; only the $ sign. Bash keyboard shortcuts such as uparrow and tab do not work. Instead, each inserts a key code. I can't even move the cursor left/right. Aliases (a function of bash and .bashrc) are broken, of course. My sanity level decreases when I use Terminal now. For what it's worth, even with "sudo" I get a "permission denied" error when trying to run Google Chrome! I read something about a ".bashrc" file being a possible problem, but I don't know how to make it work, or the file's proper locations in Ubuntu 10.10. Is there something I can do with a "make" or "apt-get install" command or something?? Could this simply be a permissions problem? Is the link to "/bin/bash", "/bin/sh", or a ".bashrc" file broken? Guide me, oh Linux gurus.
P.S. I always wondered what exactly bash was and how it was different from the basic terminal. LoL, this is an excellent way to demonstrate the difference, and I WANT IT BACK!

Feb 17, 2011I'm really running into a wall trying to figure this out. I have a Bash script and narrowed down the one command that doesn't seem to work via cron and it's my pgp decrypting line. Works fine if I run the command via terminal but if I run it via cron it doesn't output anything.crontab -e shows the cronjob and it runs, creates the log file with no output. Is there maybe something I need to run as well? Permissions look set, unless the cron is running as a different user(was under the assumption if it showed up under crontab while logged into that user, then it would run as that user.

Ubuntu :: Changed Username Now Can't Get Past Terminal At Login
Jun 22, 2010When I login, all I get is a terminal in the upper left-hand corner of the screen with the wallpaper in the background.
I uninstalled what I thought were random orphaned packages relating to evolution (evolution-data-common, etc..) Turns out that this uninstalls gnome-panel as well, although it didn't warn me. Reinstall gnome-panel and it will reinstall the required packages (you can still run synaptic from terminal!)
General :: Copy Previous Output From Bash Terminal To File?
Oct 26, 2010I know how to redirect the output of a terminal to a file. For example, if I want to list all the files in ~/Documents and output to a file called test.txt, I would do this: ls ~/Documents > test.txt The question is, can I copy the output to test.txt AFTER I have carried out the command? This would mean that I wouldn't have to know in advance whether I want to copy the output to file. I want to do something like this: ls ~/Documents Then this: <bash command for copying standard output to test.txt>

Anyway, I would like to know if there is an elegant way to obtain the current workdir of each terminal and session ? I've managed to do something with a clever use of DCOP extended functions, but it requires me to start every konsole with the --script option enabled, and I don't want to do that.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Screen Shows A Terminal Username And Password To Access The Computer?
Oct 20, 2010I'm having a hard time installing Ubuntu 10.10 (32bits). I load the CD and everything's ok throughout the installing procedure, but when the installation is over and it says it's gonna reboot it doesn't do it!
The screen resembles a terminal with a message like "the computer is going to reboot NOW!" but it could stay like that for hours. The keyboard is locked so I can't reboot by commands, and if I press CTRL+ALT+DEL it just reprints the same message. Therefore I'm forced to turn off my computer manually.
After that, the Ubuntu desktop doesn't load. The screen shows a terminal asking for my username and password to access the computer. No graphics at all.

Is this not working because one script is calling a second script? But then why does it work when I call ./start.sh?

Mar 29, 2011I'm running on a freshly installed win7 (first) ubuntu dualboot system. Splash screen was absolutely perfectly dandy upon fresh install.I updated ubuntu, then the problem occurred. I assume its a video card problem. nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ is what have in there.Drivers installed fine and everything, don't know if this is an easy fix or not.What's weird is that the animated dots remain, just in a lower resolution.
4gb RAM
intel i7 860

Didn't mess around much with ubuntu before the problem occurred. I essentially let the updates run and then I restarted right back into Ubuntu and saw the new downgraded splash screen.I'm new to ubuntu and terminal commands so if you suggest a terminal command fix, please be logical in your step by step fix suggestion.
