I ran across this the other day and was instantly amazed.He says he uses a custom Vim colorscheme (easy) and dwm with tmux. I've downloaded tmux and I'm having some issues with it (my CTRL-b hotkey wont work), but I'm confused at how to start designing something similar to what he has done.My idea is to get my terminal to look like this, then remove KDE from my laptop so that all my computer is is this awesome thing.
How should I go about starting modeling something like this? In the picture, what does tmux handle and what does dwm handle? Speaking from someone who has never used any of them.
I installed Fedora 14 with the KDE desktop. Can I make Fedora boot to a terminal rather than the GUI? I would want to boot to the terminal just 1 time so I don't want to get rid of the GUI permanently.

I would like to take these, get a GRUB together and make a version of Linux. I know this could be insanely complicated but its all part of my learning curve. So back to my original question what files make up the terminal? My first experiment will be a dos-like terminal if I can figure it all out.

I have two terminals open and I want to save the current path in a variable and read it from the second terminal that I have open.
Then in the first terminal I type:
Code:
A=$(pwd)
And in the second I type:
Code:
echo $A
that doesn't work though.
I have tried also with
Code:
export A=$(pwd)
and
Code:
alias A=$(pwd)
but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to do this?
I just installed CentOS 5.2, and would like for xterm to be my default terminal instead of the gnome-terminal. I was able to do this on a RHEL4 system and Fedora 9, but I can't figure out how to do it in CentOS.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSince 2 days, when I type the lowercase 'a' letter in a terminal, nothing is written (it's not the case for the uppercase 'A' letter).
The matter appears with all terminal's software (guake, Terminal, xterm...).
The only way for me to type the 'a' letter is to type 'Insert' key before.
I tried many solutions but the matter is still here.
Here, there is some clarifications and some solutions I tried:
-If I copy and paste a text, 'a' don't appears. For example, if i try to copy and paste
'sudo apt-get install'
'sudo pt-get instll' will appears
-The matter appears 2 days ago. Before that, I removed the .gconf file
-It's not a fresh installation of ubuntu but an update from karmic to lucid. When i was under karmic, I was using KDE. Then I did an upgrade, then I tried Xubuntu and Lubuntu and finally I moved to Ubuntu. The first week under Ubuntu (Gnome) was without any matter and 2 days ago, this matter appeared.
-I tried this following command line:
xmodmap -pke >fichier.conf
and the file called "fichier.conf" (I'm french) contains this line:
keycode 24 = a A a A ae AE ae AE
-When I type this line:
printf "x61
"
a 'a' appears in my terminal.
-In tty1 and all the other programs, 'a' appears without any trouble
-I tried with other users in my computer but the matter is still the same no matter wich user I use.
-I tried to change fonts of my environment and I also tried to change fonts only for the terminal but whithout success.
-I tried to change the layout of my keyboard.
I have my xbox 360 connected to my laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 using the Ushare program. In order to reset Ushare and have it send any new files I have to the 360, I have to go into the terminal and enter

I have the following rsync command for making some backups:
Code:
rsync -r --progress --delete -H --numeric-ids -a --exclude=.gvfs /source /media/Backup
If I paste that in my Terminal, it will perform a backup of all the files and show me what's going on in the Terminal window. But how can I make that into a launcher? I have made a launcher on my desktop with that code in its Properties, but double-clicking it starts the rsync process (I can see HDD activity) but a Terminal window won't open.
I've been using my girlfriend's Mackbook Pro and really like the beep sound when pressing backspace at a command prompt and really would like to have it on my ubuntu. However, I've checked "Terminal bell" option in the profile settings, but there is still no beep sound. What am I missing here?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a eeepc netbook with 4 gig internal flash storage, no hard drive.I broke the GUI. The ONLY way I can access it now is through a terminal.It has barely enough space to get the ubuntu .iso image over to it.I have tried upwards of 10 times with 2 or 3 different distros to make a bootable usb drive with my macintosh. The process appears to complete without errors but the usb sticks are 100% unbootable every time (i.e. the netbook refuses to boot from them, as does my mac).
I get the SAME result using the SAME usb stick that I originally used to install ubuntu on the netbook, so I know it did work once. Regardless, I would like to try as a last hope to start from scratch making the bootable usb stick from my actual netbook.I do NOT have access to a GUI (see above).direct me to instructions to make a bootable usb drive from ubuntu 8.something?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing a default terminal and bash, there is no functionality to search the standard output of commands.
One can gain such functionality using other tools, like emacs shell or screen, but I am wondering why such a useful feature is missing, I do remember a simple C-F used to work in terminals.
Is there a way to make the Gnome terminal app support output search? or is there a better terminal app that support searching output natively?

After a while away from Linux, I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my home PC. Here is the problem: The terminal STINKS in general. Unfortunately, it appears that nothing has changed in the last 3 years in this particular area. I remember now that the terminal (keyboard mappings, colors) was one of the reasons I went with Fedora for my home PC a few years ago.
Short question: WHY is Ubuntu's so different, and why hasn't it been improved? I have a standard 104-key keyboard, yet when I try to edit with VI, the arrow keys don't map properly. You'd think that user feedback alone would have fixed this over 3 years time. Anyhow, how do I fix it?
The white background, minimal color terminal isn't very good. But I really need help getting the various keys (delete, home, end, arrow keys) to map properly. I went with Ubuntu because it seemed to be more ready "out of the box" and I don't need cutting edge like Fedora offers. I wanted more stability, etc.
I wondered if whether there is any way to make the xterm fullscreen and have the same white/purple colors as gnome-terminal in 10.04.I already know how to modify the command for the xterm session, but I want to know what options to give xterm to get the fullscreen white/purple look.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've done a little program, it's the snake game. I use an X window to show the snake and all that but the input is taken from the terminal. That means that what I have to do to play the game is open it with the terminal and then the game opens but then I have to go to the terminal again to move the snake. if I open the game from the GUI I can't do anything because it doesn't take my directions. What do I have to do in order to get the program to have a connection with my keyboard? I use getchar() to get the input, maybe there is something else?
