I cannot launch gnome-terminal from the Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal menu. However a gnome-terminal process is created (I can see it in a terminal that I happened to have open) but it doesn't seem to actually run (I have several of these terminals in the ps list now but they haven't actually run as terminals and it's been at least 2 hrs). At first I thought they weren't running at all until I checked (it looked like the Starting Terminal message at the bottom of the gnome GUI ran abnormally long and then terminated so I thought at first that they weren't running at all).
Also it looks like my gnome session is clobbering the CPU: running at or over 80% of cpu time at times (it does change but mostly it is high). All I'm doing is minor web work + updating a file in Open Office - when I noticed this I got out of Open Office and that had no effect. So it looks like application software is running (this was launched from a terminal) but running from the menu seems to result in processes with low priority (that doesn't seem right though). This just started today and my system has been mostly running correctly for a year or so (last year I got an Acer 5532 on sale, wiped it and installed Fedora 11).
Does anyone know of some things I can check to find the root cause behind this error? I pulled startupmanager via apt-get, and I get an error when I try to launch the startupmanager executable from a terminal in Gnome.

I work on a number of servers and do so many repetitive tasks that it's easier for me to make launchers on my desktop for these tasks. It's also necessary for opening windows in my secondary screen. I like to view the error logs as I work, so I have a screen session on my servers that 'tail -f /the/error.log' for easy viewing. I set up a launcher on my desktop that launches the following command:
Code: gnome-terminal --display :0.1 --geometry=156x33 -x ssh -t my-server 'screen -r' The command works perfectly. The window is created on the correct screen, with the correct size and information. The problem is gnome-terminal will exit/crash with no errors after a little while. This happens sometimes when I get up from my computer as well as while I am working on it.
I am saying that there are no errors because I have opened a terminal and ran the command in that terminal. When the new gnome-terminal closes, there are no errors or abnormal output on the generating gnome-terminal.
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 am a total linux n00b and am having trouble with scripts. I am taking a basic linux class and I have to write a script with input and output, and it must have branching (a loop or if statement). In any case, I have decided to write a script (hopefully) that will ask the user what the base and height of their triangle is, and then my script will calculate the area for the user.
Writing the actual script will be fun and challenging for me, but to test out launching scripts I have been researching them online and found this website: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intr...O-2.html#ss2.1 In any case, I am using Ubuntu right now and went to: Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor. Then wrote:
#!/bin/bash echo Hello World
I then clicked file -> save as... and the name of my file is "hello.sh". Under the "save in folder" option I chose the folder "Documents". So then I click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and type "./hello.sh" and the next line says "bash: ./hello.sh: No such file or directory" How do I launch a script in terminal!
I want to launch the screen program by default and automatically every time that I open the bash terminal. How can I set this in terminal? I'm using lxterminal - terminal for lxde desktop environment.
Is there a way to find out the currently installed packages and the corresponding command line to launch the package from a terminal. For example, I know that I have openoffice installed but I do not know how to find the command line to launch it.
I use ctrl + shift + s to launch synaptic in KDE. That works wonderful and it is standardized on all my systems. I want to define the same in gnome, so that it does not matter if I'm in gnome or KDE.Where can I do this?Now before you start mentioning, I am familiar with keyboard launchers like launchy or gnome do (but have to admit that I don't know that much what gnome do does in all extents), so I am not looking for a program that launches an app after typing a few letters. I want exactly that keyboard combination, everything else will not do it.
I just mention that, because it happens all the time that I see in my posts that I ask: How can I do B with Y? I don't want to use Z. (specifically asking the question) and then hear as an answer: you can do B with Z!And I am always tempted to answer: That is not what I asked, I asked something specific and got an answer that does not concern it.
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 am using a virtual terminal red-hat and want to install eclipse for c development IDE.
1. I have java 1.6 installed previouse. the java path is configured properly.
2. I downloaded the latest eclipse helios 32bit from eclipse.org
3. I unzip the tar.gz file (eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz)
4. in the eclipse diretory, I try to launch the eclips. but got an error: ./eclipse: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by ./eclipse).
I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/i686. and no luck either.
When i tried to launch 2012 installer using GUI based command , it gives the following error message :-
Error:-
It is Observerd that ( but not sure ):-
It is looking for = > ./u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/stubs/libXm.so.4.
I tried soft linking libXm.so.3 with libXm.so.4 but it doesn't help. Also tried downloading Openmotif and installing, its asking for many dependency packages.
The following packages are also reported to be missing:-
When i try to download and run rpm on these, it gives dependency problem. And these dependencies seem to be deadlocked. I don not understand how i can go about it..
I'm unable to reset using either the reset option in gnome shell or the command using a terminal. When I select it the shell exits and displays the graphic "exploding" and then it just sits there. Shutdown works fine; just no reset. Any ideas? I've installed from the DVD. I booted the live CD and it resets just fine so I know it's no my hardware
I have a copy of Shake (I was given it by my friend) It is the Linux version and I have followed instructions to install and after a few problems and errors I think I have everything in place. However when I type the advised command from Terminal: 'csh Shake' All that happens is the terminal moves to a new line with no text. I can still type and press enter but nothing happens, just goes to a new blank line. Thing is it doesn't give any errors. I have chmod'd the correct folders, have installed all required included files and library's. Also, im sorry for posting this here, I could not post in the Multimedia section
so i want to have an embedded terminal on my desktop. alltray --borderless --skip-taskbar --sticky Terminal --hide-menubar --hide-borders --geometry 60x600+10-10 seems to work, however, its just on one desktop and it's appearing in the panel, despite my
openSUSE 11.2, just installed. When I start the "Root Terminal", I get this error message: Could not launch 'Root Terminal' Failed to execute child process "gksu" (No such file or directory) This error message doesn't mean enough to me to know what I need to do.
I recently installed Ubuntu and dolphin file manager but when I press Shift+F4 for Terminal I get this error: Could not launch the terminal client: KDEInit could not launch 'konsole'.: Could not find 'konsole' executable. Now, I know I can open it with Ctrl+Alt+T but with shift+f4 from dolphin, terminal starts with current folder in command line.
I'm trying to launch a root terminal with a profile preloaded, but I'm not yet used to the way gnome handles its syntax, so the default link to root terminal has me confused:
I was trying to make uDev let me mount and unmount devices from my Xfce desktop... I installed udiskie, modified fstab, and finally got it working, but somewhere in the process, my terminal emulator just... died. Now, when I try to launch it, I get this error message: "" (I think I can translate that as Failed to execute child... process? not quite sure) "getpt failed: Not such file or directory." So far, I've been looking but couldn't find anything similar anywhere. also: this happens with all the terminal emulators I've tried (Terminal, gnome-terminal, sonata), except for xterm... which does just nothing: doesn't launch or send error messages.
I am using ubuntu 8.04 with GNOME. gnome-terminal version is 2.22.1
(1)Is it possible to use mouse to move cursor to desired position? For instance , I am at end of line & with mouse I can select a portion of line to copy but cannot move the cursor to middle of line without pressing left arrow key for looong time.
(2)I have noticed that if I boot with my USB in non-persistent mode.In the beginning I can use ctrl+arrow to move to previous or next word. After sometime ctrl+right arrow append ;5C and ctrl+left arrow appends ;5D
Fresh guest install of current as of changelog dated 16-Feb-2011, in to VirtualBox 4.0.4 (13.1 x86_64 host).
1. About 6 of the icons normally residing in the top half of Settings Manager are missing (names are their and functions work). Selecting 'Appearance -> Icons' and re-selecting the one choice available restores one, the rest remain MIA.
2. Default xfce Terminal launch fails with error <????> Re-selecting the default 'Preferred Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal -> Xfce Terminal' has no effect. 'Properties' shows the usual 'exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator'.
Setting 'Preferred Applications' to 'X Terminal' launches an xterm successfully as expected.
I'm a little confuse regarding how one launches tmux. When I launch my terminal (current gnome-terminal), I would like to have tmux up and running. I'm currently doing this by calling "tmux" in my .zshenv (kind of like .bashrc in bash). This does in fact launch tmux, but has some annoying side effects. First, hitting Ctrl-D to exit the shell, only kills tmux, and leaves the tmux-less gnome-terminal still running. An additional Ctrl-D will kill that as well. Second, when ssh into a box with this setup, I get a second, nested instance of tmux. I don't want tmux to launch again when I ssh. Is this the right approach, how should tmux be launched usually?
I am running Gnome 2.30.2 and Gnome Terminal 3.0.1 on my Debian Sid and recently the active tab became almost indistinguishable from other tabs. It is actually the same colour.Changing the themes didn't help much and only using high contrast theme makes a difference which is the theme I would rather not use.Have been experimenting with ~/.gtkrc-2.0 script but that does not seem to work at all even after restarting X-Server.
