OpenSUSE :: 11.3 Kde4 - Prevent Konsole/htop/bash To Use Bold Character?

Aug 9, 2010

As exposed in a previous thread : 11.3 64b nvidia kde4 : font color bug in konsole I have a problem in the konsole terminal . I chose the Fixed [misc] font and i want the size 3. But for some unknown reasons konsole wants to display some chracaters and some words in bold . As This font doesn't exist in size 3 in bold, it displays the bold characters in size 7, which is the smallest available bold size for this font set (Fixed [Misc]) . It makes any of these bold characters unreadable as they are too large compared to the room they have to be displayed. How can i prevent konsole , bash , htop or any program responsible for this behaviour, to display such bold character ?

OpenSUSE :: Bold 'Konsole' Fonts Get Cut Off?

Jul 30, 2010

Got a problem with fonts in 'Konsole'-windows. 'Bold' fonts are being cut off at the last letter. Sometimes only half the letter is visible, sometimes the letter is completely invisible. No problems with fonts in xterm. Set the standards in '/etc/DIR_COLORS', but the problem still exists in (for example):

- man-pages (headings)
- perldoc (headings)
- vi (infos at bottom, like -- INSERT --)
- ...

Is there a solution to turn off bold fonts in Konsole completely? Would be my favourite! I'm using OpenSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4 "release 2"...

OpenSUSE :: Font Settings In Konsole (11.3, KDE4.4.4)?

Jan 2, 2011

Whenever I open a Konsole via the control panel widget the font in the console window is Monospace 8. Increasing the font via settings remains in place only for the time the window is active. When opening Konsole again the font is set to tiny Monospace 8 again. I have checked the settings in the *.profile files in ~ /.kde4/share/apps/konsole. They all contain my preferred font. Still, Monospace 8 comes up. Where else should I look. I have checked all *.rc files too, that are related to konsole.

OpenSUSE :: Color With KDE4 - Konsole And Midnight Commander

Mar 16, 2011

This problem has been bugging me since KDE4 starting shipping. In konsole, if you use the default black on white profile, and you start Midnight Commander, the color of the MC screen is the default blue color it has always been. However, if you change to the green on black profile, which is the one that I prefer, and you start MC, the blue changes to some unreadable light robin egg blue which is horrid.

I'm making a huge assumption here, but it looks like something is off with the green on black profile in Konsole. Try it yourself and you will see what I mean. This only started with KDE4, but it still persists through every version to current.

OpenSUSE :: Prevent Maximized Windows Being Dragged And Resized (kde4)

May 8, 2011

The Mrs is not so accurate with the mouse and playing kpatience etc.. she seems to click the top or bottom edge of the maximized window ( as if to drag a card ) but ends up dragging the window, which moves and re-sizes

I tried it in Gnome and my maximized windows don't drag.

So is there a solution for kde. I guess it's a feature. I had a stab around in systemsettings, but couldn't put my finder on it.

General :: Bash Script - Obtain Current Workdirs Of All Konsole Terminal/sessions?

Jan 15, 2011

I am trying to write a bash script that would save the current state of my konsole terminals and sessions. I'm using KDE3.X and for some reason the "profile" save does not save the current working directories... 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.

Ubuntu :: Bash No Longer Supports The Character?

Mar 25, 2011

A very strange problem started for me today. I SSHed into a server and could not type the letter 'i'. It would work fine if I was not in an SSH session, but consistently and repeatedly broke when I started SSH. I rebooted my machine, and the problem now occurs any time I'm using Bash, whether SSHing or not. For the record, I'm doing all this in the standard gnome-terminal.

First: it is not a problem with my keyboard. As you can see, I am perfectly capable of typing the letter 'i' in a browser window. In fact, capital 'I' works fine in bash as well. If I start nano from Bash, I can type the letter 'i' all day long, but when I exit to the Bash prompt, again I am unable to.

What's even more bizarre, I cannot even paste the letter 'i' into bash, either via Ctrl+Shift+v or by middle mouse clicking. This makes it impossible for me to type commands like 'vim' or 'exit'. Bash scripts, however, appear to have no problem with this particular character. Now, I've commented everything out of my .bashrc file, but that didn't help. I got rid of my custom .xmodmaprc file. Still nothing. Keyboard layout is U.S. English. I removed all Keyboard Shortcuts that involve the letter 'i'. Rebooted half a dozen times, still no luck.

My workaround at present is to use zsh instead of bash. Everything works fine with it, but I'd really like to get this thing fixed.

Programming :: BASH Script: Spaces Are Getting Converted To TAB Character?

Dec 23, 2010

I have a BASH shell script with embedded SQL script. The SQL script fetches the data from oracle server and the data contains more than 8 spaces in the value (eg, 28051630 A) and the data is written to flat file using the below syntax:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s ${CONNECT_STRING} >${out_file} <<!!
.. sql query..
!!

The problem is that whenever the data is written to ${out_file} spaces are getting converted to TAB character

eg, 10 spaces (in Oracle) converted to 1 TAB and 2 spaces 7 spaces (in Oracle) converted to 1 TAB and 1 space Also, from above example you can see the width of TAB char is not constant (8 in first example and 6 in second example) Is there any way that I can stop shell script to convert spaces into TAB character as I want the data as it is from Oracle DB (i.e. only spaces not TABs)

Ubuntu Servers :: Prevent A BASH Script From Being Called To Run Again Until It Exits

Sep 1, 2011

I'm planning on writing a BASH script for my website's server that will process data from user input via HTML forms, and then write data to the website's HTML documents. My question regards how to deal with the possibility that two users send form information very close to the same time, thus having the BASH script being called again while the first instance of the script has not yet finished.

I don't even know what happens in general when a BASH script is called while it is still running. Even if that is ok, and a new, separate script process is started (or whatever really happens), how am I supposed to prevent issues that could come from two different instances of the script trying to write to the same file at the same time? Is there a way to force the BASH script to finish its work before launching again, in the event of multiple requests?

OpenSUSE Install :: Can't Shutdown / Reboot - Get Screen With Green / Bold Status Messages On The Side

Dec 5, 2009

everytime I try to shutdown/reboot, it gets to the screen where it has the green/bold status messages on the side, but then it simply stops. The cursor doesn't blink, nothing happens...you could wait 10 minutes, and it would still be at that same screen. I don't know if I've described this well enough for anyone to understand, but I hope so! I don't have a camera, but if I did...I'd post a picture of where I mean...

But like I said, after getting to a certain, without actually shutting down, it simply stops and does absolutely nothing. This is rather inconvenient, and I'd like to find a solution to this if possible. EDIT: I'm sorry I didn't provide any hardware info, but I'm using Gnome...This didn't happen 100% of the time KDE like it does now though. (But it DID happen in KDE as well) I'm using OpenSUSE 11.2... I'll be back in a moment with hardware info, assuming it may aid in a solution.

OpenSUSE :: 11.4 - Konsole Tab Autocomplete Feature

Mar 13, 2011

I notice that in 11.4 when I try to autocomplete (Tab Key) to /etc or /etc/init.d/ it auto completes differently than the way it did in other 11.x openSUSE versions. i.e.
Code:
sudo /et
Then hit tab; it auto completes to /etc (space on the end of it)

Also,
Code:
sudo /etc/init.
Then hit tab; it auto completes to /etc/init.d (space on the end of it)

If I simply try:
Code:
/et
Then hit tab; it auto completes properly to /etc/

General :: Bash Scripting - Sed - Lame - Character To Lame To Escape Spaces

Mar 20, 2010

Ok, so I find myself ripping audio CDs frequently, which I then lame to mp3's to put on my media player. I usually define the --ta and --tl (artist and album) ID3 tags and batch encode each album, but don't bother with the track tags as I'd have to do each one seperately.

So, I'm working on a script to do all this for me, extracting info from 'pwd' etc. to fill in the blanks for --ta, --tl and --tt (track name). All is working well, except that I can't get sed to pass on the "" character to lame to escape spaces.

Here's what I've got so far: (trouble spot is bolded - no need to pay attention to the rest of it)

Code:

All this does is pass a 'space' on to lame, which it takes as an invalid argument.
