General :: What Are Red Lines In Terminal
Mar 16, 2010
I've cross compiled busybox with buildroot for the mini2440 (configured: arm920t EABI) I compiled it dynamically. I use Ubuntu 9.10 on my build system. Doing the "ls -l"-command in the /bin directory I see that busybox is marked red. (This is still on my build system, not on my target system!) The background of the word busybox is marked red. And the word busybox is in default colour instead of yellow, even though all permissions have the executable sign. I was wondering what this means. Also whether it's a bad thing? Also could this mean this is why my mini2440 will not boot correctly after transferring this root file system? (It stops the booting process just after loading the root file system)

I am trying to install some piece of software on my machine that I need for my research.The installation instruction says I need to issue a "make" command in the main directory and that should do the trick. But it looks like there are some issues with this. The problem is that I cannot even see the earlier error messages. The terminal only shows the last ones but when I try to see where did the problem started I can only go back to a certain number of lines. I tried also to pipe the output of the make command into a text file but it only shows me the beginning and does not have the rest of the stuff ( is this normal for vi?

I've come across an unusual requirement for a service in my Ubuntu system.Simply put, I need to find a way to search for all instances of a term in a file, delete lines containing containing that term, and delete four lines below each instance of that term. ither that, or copy the entirety of a file to a new file and skip over all lines containing the term plus four below it.This sounds kinda weird, I know. Without going too far into detail, I either have to change the logfile format for a server I'm running which is a huge pain in the butt, or I can just run a script to edit an HTML report generated from said logs. (Said report is really just for managers to peruse, and I like my log format, so I'm pursuing option 2.)

I am pretty new to Suse Linux, coming from Sun Solaris. I have an issue with the "more" command. It highlights all the lines beyond the first terminal appearance; anyway I can kill this highlighting?

I'm using GNOME terminal to SSH into a Debian server and would really like a way to paste multiple lines of text into configuration files (using the nano text editor if possible).
So far whatever I try dumps all the text onto a single line meaning I have to manually go through inserting line feeds which is tedious and can introduce errors.
Is there a way to paste text with line feeds intact? Rather than copying each line individually?

I have been experiencing a problem where the screen loads and after initial first few lines breaks up into multiple repetitions of lines. Reloading helps but has to be repeated when pageing down. Mail is no problem; it is supplied by my network provider. OS is openSUSE 11.2 which I update when advised. Below is a sample from the error console:

I have this massive table file with some data in it and I want to replace some lines that are wrong with the correct ones that are in another table file of the same format. The wrong lines are not all together in a block but randomly distributed so I need to make a loop checking if the line is in the other file and if it is, replace it. I want to try and do it with sed or awk but I don't really know how to....

Is there a terminal emulator which works well in an Ubuntu desktop and provides the following features which Mac OS X's Terminal application has? Re-wrapping text when the window is resized.A Clear command which clears scrollback (as the shell clear does not) and does not clear the cursor's line (typically containing a prompt).

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.

How 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.

hello
I tried to find a good subject but it was the best of mine, anyway I'll explain it here.
some time I do some thing like installing a new application in Linux terminal of my office PC but it take a long time and I have to go home during its installation or configuration process that it is not good to cancel it.My current solution is abandoning the process until next day. I wanted to know is there any way to redirect an input and out put of a terminal to another one, if it works I can continue my abandoned process by ssh to my Linux office PC and redirect that terminal to my new remote sshed terminal from my home.
Thank a lot for any help.

So I want to print the items in a line and the next line in a single line.
For example:
I can print the line and the adjacent together and print the required items like this:
But that's not the order I want. How can I get it printed like below:

I have a file with a random word on each line (3k+ lines). How can I get the lines with only five characters? I tried using grep file | more, but it returns all the words (even those less than 5 characters).
Edit: I also tried grep '.{5}' file | more but it doesn't show anything. And grep '.{5}' file | more returns all lines with four or more characters (I'm really confused about why it's doing this).

I would like to use VIM to add something to the end of a series of lines. Ideally I could do something like add " X" (with a space before the X) to the end of lines 1-40 and 50-60 in a single command, i.e. ideally I could have a break in between where I didn't add something. If that's not possible just adding to 1-40 and 50-60 separately would work too. I would be using bufdo to do this, but my understanding is that anything you can do in vim you can use with the bufdo command.

We can see that sed just deletes the first three lines. How "seq 10 | sed -e '1,2d' -e '1,2d'"works?

In GUI style editors, you can generally select multiple lines, press tab a few times to move all the lines across (or shift-tab to go back). I have no idea how to do this in VIM.I googled around and couldn't find any straight answer to I came here.

Silly question here. My crontab looks like this:
Quote:
0 22 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate /var/log/VRTSralus/VRTSralus.logrotate
#0-59/10 * * * * /root/memmon.sh >> /var/log/memmon.txt
0 8 * * 1 /root/SHC.sh
#0 21 * * * /root/scripts/ralus_restart.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
As you can see two of the lines are commented out. However, both commented out commands are still running. I get emails stating that the RALUS agent restarted (another mystery since it's supposed to go to dev null according to the line above), and I can see that the memmon script is also running daily. Am I missing a step? Some other place I should be looking? Commenting out lines in your crontab is pretty much a no-brainer, so I appear to have less than no brain as this is a mystery to me.

I have a large text file and I have some comment lines in it beginning with $.
Now here is the challenge there are some lines where there is actually a written comment after $ (with some blanks between)
Then there are lines with only $ on it - with maybe some trailing spaces.
I would like to delete these dummy lines...
Lets say from
