Is there a tool already out there that will split error logs based on the virtual host they belong to? Or perhaps a somewhat simple way to write a script that can do this? I'll keep looking for a solution but I thought I'd ask in case someone here has one to offer.
Start xpdf or gv. Click an xterm to be active and slide it over xpdf/gv. Vertical lines from xpdf/gv under the xterm stick to the xterm window above and make it unreadable.
The problem does NOT show with KDE default settings with display effects on but does show in fvwm, xfce etc, and in KDE without effects.
On a system with a Sandy Bridge integrated graphics (i5-2400) the problem went away by downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.13.0. But it was not enough for another system with 945G which needed downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.12.0.
I've just installed xterm, ant trying to run it from my windows machine using ssh. I have X11Forwarding yes on /etc/ssh/sshd_config when I use, MobaXterm, np, I can use xterm after I log ssh -X xxx
but when I use Cygwin, and do ssh -X xxx, and then xterm, I have: xterm XT error : Can't open display: xterm: Display is not set
I had this error when installing and running a vncserver before, which I have now removed. However, the xterm's seem to remain in the system and are regenerating themselves. Should the pid IDs stay the same each time I run this?
Is there any config files for xterm for default settings? For example, on my system, xterm start with black text on white background, and I want it the other way around. I can do it by starting it with:
xterm -bg black -fg white.
I want to set in a config file that if I run it without arguments, it will start with these options.
Something weird sometimes happens on my Debian system. Typically at the prompt line I can use combo like alt-d to delete a word, alt-f to go to the next word, etc. But quite regularly something happens in my xterm that makes alt-d and alt-f not work anymore: suddenly they print 'ä' (alt-d) and 'æ' (alt-f).
Note that this happens in a terminal that was acting like I wanted to at first. But then somehow must send a code or something that changes the behavior of the terminal. It happens in xterm because that's where I always work. If I go to a console by doing ctrl+alt+f1 then by default alt-d does what I want (delete word) and so does alt-f. Maybe that I could screw that one too by doing some bad manipulation: I just don't know because I don't work in text mode.
Also note that if I spawn an xterm from the "broken" xterm, then the new xterm work as I expect. What is going on? What am I turning on that was off previously? My .Xresources says that and, once again, when I open an xterm it behaves as I expect it, it's only later on that "something" makes that it goes back to broken "I-print-characters-with-diacritics-and-other-nonsense" mode:
$ more .Xresources XTerm.vt100.eightBitInput: false XTerm*eightBitInput: False
I've search around and looked at the man page but can't seem to figure this out.. using fluxbox one can click an application in the menu and it opens without a supporting terminal. However, if I open xpdf in the terminal, xpdf launches and the terminal waits for it to exit... my question is, what is the command to hide the terminal and just launch the application?
I think I miss something here(Ubuntu 9.10 server 64bit):
/etc/srg/srg.conf
Code:
##### SRG Example Configuration File ##### # Squid log file to process # Defaults to access.log in the srg directory. # e.g. log_file "/usr/local/squid/logs/access.log"
Is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut for a terminal command in OSX. Basically most of the times i open the terminal app in MAC in order to ssh into a certain server foo. What I want to do is add a keyboard shortcut (say ^k) so that on a terminal when I do that, it runs "ssh foo" in the terminal.
Another basic question, as I am still new to Linux.I have a new machine loaded with RHEL 5.2 and when I try to connect into it using EXCEED XDMCP-Broadcast mode from my PC, it never comes up as a selection in the select-list. What rpms, procs, etc. am I missing on my RHEL 5.2 system???
I'm using Xterm. While running a prog/command if I scroll up and reading something on the screen, the xterm view resets to bottom if there is some output from the running command.
I tried enabling/disabling jump scroll, asynchronous scroll, scroll to bottom on tty output options of Xterm with no avail. In one way or the other way, the screen is scrolling or resetting to bottom if there is some output to screen.
I want to stop this behavior and the scroll should work as if it is in Konsole. The new output to screen should simply add at the bottom and the current viewing point should remain unscrolled. pls let me know if there is any working solution for this xterm problem.
I was wondering how to change the xterm font size and may be the font itself. Also we go to tty1 when we press Ctrl+Alt+f1 , f3 and so on. Is there any way I can change that too and maybe change the colour of the font and the size of it. I did change the resolution once in ubuntu with startup manager. I'm using fedora 14.
I use xterm with a particular font size and type. But every time I start xterm I have to give them in arguments
Code:
xterm -fa terminus -fs 12
Is there some configuration file where I can out the above parameters and xterm will pick them itself. But I don't want these properties to be set globally. Every user should be able to set it for himself. I have searched all the hidden folders and rc files in my home folder, but didn't find anyone related to xterm. What should I do? Similarly every time I start screen, I have to issue

:caption always :caption string %w
Can I make it automatic by editing some configuration file? Is there any way through which every xterm I start will have a screen session already open in it?
I tried to connect to remote server ,which is installed Centos 5.4 x86, through Xmanager on windows 7, and got this error.
Quote:
/usr/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
At the remote server, I turned on firewall and after this I got the above-mentioned error message. I do this accrding to instruction on remote server.
Quote:
2. Firewall (TCP/UDP Ports) Configuration Open UDP port 177 from the PC to the remote host direction. Open incoming TCP ports 6000~6010 from the remote host to your PC. After adding these ports "/etc/sysconfig/iptable" as the enoder mentioned, /etc/init.d/iptables restart
3. Reboot the remote host and start Xmanager <- I could not restart remote server.
I'm having difficulty setting custom ls colors in xterm. If I understand it right one can edit the system-wide file located in /etc/DIR_COLORS to modify every terminal or customize xterm; I chose xterm mostly because the other terminals I never use. Here is my .bash_profile and .bashrc respectively: if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc fi
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then source /etc/bashrc fi
alias ls='ls --color -F' PS1='[e[1;32m][u@h:w]$[e[0m] '
When I use the login shell, the colors are different than xterm in that they are not as bright; furthermore, I marked out bold fonts in .Xresources: !xterm colors xterm*foreground: #d3d3d3 xterm*background: #000000 xterm*boldColors: false xterm*cursorBlink: true xterm*cursorColor: white xterm*loginShell: false xterm*faceName: Liberation Mono xterm*faceSize: 10
So, there must be a file around somewhere that is changing the colors between the interactive and login shells. Also, man xterm: color6 (class Color6) color7 (class Color7)
These specify the colors for the ISO-6429 extension. The defaults are, respectively, black, red3, green3, yellow3, a customizable dark blue, magenta3, cyan3 and gray90. The default shades of color are chosen to allow the colors 8-15 to be used as brighter versions. How does that get anyone anywhere with setting the color? It doesn't say what color (class) is assigned to which file specifically, thus adhering to the distribution-wide color codes. Perhaps I am making this more difficult than it should be.
In an attempt to get something that, well, you know, just works... I migrated a laptop to Karmic server today. Which works fine, except for one thing: when I use wvdial and a Huawei E160g USB modem to connect to the Internet (which is the only option out here in the sticks where I live) no default gateway is set. When I add one manually everything is fine, except that the default gateway keeps disappearing after a while (at irregular intervals, as far as I can see). Nothing appears in any logfile that even mentions the default route, let alone a reason for its magical vanishing trick. My wvdial.conf is fairly pedestrian:
[Code]...
What's going on here? I'm stumped. And the mighty Googlebrain doesn't seem to know, either. How do I get wvdial & friends to set the correct default route upon connecting? Given the fact that without a default route a PPP connection to a remote network is little use, I would expect this to be a standard feature and not something that I'd have to script a work-around for myself. But then, I have been wrong before. Secondly, and more importantly, why does my default route keep disappearing without a trace?
Is there a way I can redirect messages from kernel ringbuffer to a logfile, e.g. with rsyslogd? With redirect I mean that the messages do no longer appear in dmesg, but only in the logfile. In my case that should be iptables log messages.
I try to log all my iptable logs to mysql instead just a logfile. The setup is as followed:
[Code].....
[red]Problem[/red] rsyslog logs everything correct, except it does not log to db, it logs to /var/log/messages. As I am brand new to the whole Linux experience, I don't get it. My /etc/rsyslog.conf is setup with $ModLoad onmysql.
Im running a dedicated game server for ArmA-II. There is a server.cfg file that directs the server to output to a log file all server events, such as game issues from clients and the server itself.The value in the server.cfg file looks like this: logfile="server.log";How do I set it up so that the dedicated server outputs this information, not only to the log, but also to my screen? Would this be done from the server.cfg file?
What should I put in my .twmrc, so that an xterm window is brought to front (raised) when I click anywhere in the window. Currently, I have to click on the title bar to bring it to front. Presently, I don't have any .twmrc in my Home folder.
