View 4 RepliesI am working using vm-ware and had installed Fedora 12 as Linux Operating system. As I had started my Firefox it was showing some problems and then my terminal stops working. I am not able to detect that why my terminal is not working properly. It is not starting at all. I am not able to type any command in my command window.

I have searched high and low for the solution to this but haven't found it yet.I have found some hacks, but I am hesitant on messing with the integrity of the system just to complete the update.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA client has sent me an RHEL 5.1 box for me to do some work on, but it's not registered with Red Hat. This is causing me problems, because it's a minimal installation, and I need some more dev software.My immediate reaction was to install various bits (emacs, and so on) from my Centos 5(.0) DVD.The base RHEL system only had one (disabled) repo entry,so I added a yum DVD repo entry in yum.conf.d.
This looked good to start with, but it doesn't work. Something in RHEL's pirut/yum/rpm/whatever is getting confused, and can't work out what is/isn't installed.
Question - how do you maintain an unregistered RHEL box? Has RH done something to make life difficult? Is my problem simply that I'm using a Centos 5.0 DVD, instead of Centos 5.1? Am I stuck with downloading lots of rpms from the net and doing everything manually? I really don't want to do that.
Recently I've updated from 13 to 14. However, after updated I've tried to work with my terminal and it seems doesn't works fine. I can read 'starting terminal' but after that it's closed.I've uninstalled and re-installed it through the graphical tools (gnome-terminal) but that doesn't works fine.

I'm using rhel 5, when i'm working in terminal first i typed su command and by mistake i entered copy command and some other characters, after realising i've made a mistake then i came out and continued with copy command in terminal.
after some time when i tried to login by using su and with password it says "incorrect password". So i logged out and entered root login for gui and it works well, but i'm not able to use the same password for su. can some one get around this issue?
I'm running a game called EV Nova (which runs perfectly well in WINE). I'm trying to set up a Menu item for it, but the Terminal command fails.
What works:
Right-clicking EV Nova.exe and selecting "Run with Wine Windows Program Loader"
What doesn't:
wine /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/nova/EV Nova.exe
wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/nova/EV Nova.exe"
wine "C:\Program Files\nova\EV Nova.exe"
...or pretty much any other Terminal command.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem which I am having a hard time finding out about. To start I am running Debian 8.0 on a laptop through an external Seagate 2TB HDD that I connect via USB 3.0. My problem, basically, is when ever I use Linux for an extended period, for what ever reason, some of my icons disappear and my terminal breaks. More specifically, say I were to try to shut down the computer at the time of the problem the icons and text telling me which option is which, in xfce4, are gone. Then if I click on the would be shut down button it just goes to a black screen with a white underscore and hangs there. This symptom is probably due to the fact that commands in the linux terminal stop working. As in, if I were to type ls it tells me there is no command (something like that) and tells me some folder directory that I think is where bash is located. I wish I could be more specific with some of these details.
Anyway the only way for me to "fix" it is to just do a hard shut down, then upon reboot it clears the orphaned nodes. Also, before, when I installed linux several weeks before I never noticed this issue, if it was ever present. However, now that I have seen it, I have since tried re-installs of debian to no avail. I have a feeling it could be the external hard drive, but that notion is not based on any evidence.

I am working on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with 9.10 installed and (thus far) working quite well. However, when I type in a command into Terminal (I was trying to install Amarok), the terminal asks for my password and the entire keyboard stops working. As in, I can hit any numerical or letter key, and nothing happens in the terminal but the blinking cursor. The specific command was "sudo apt-get install amarok", and then it asks for my password, and I'm not able to make an entry.
I've tried changing to a couple of the different Dell laptop keyboards in System>Preferences, but again, before typing the command into the terminal, everything is working fine (inside AND outside of the terminal). After the password prompt comes up and the keyboard stops working in terminal, all the character keys still work fine still outside of the terminal.
Clean install of 10.04 Server 32 bit.Only services OpenSSH Server and Print Server.Machine boots and can be accessed through ssh.Virtual terminals (cntl-alt-1,2,3,4,... do not result in video to the monitor (no sync) or a display.If I type blind, I can log in, ssh back to my other machine, and create a file. So the virtual terminal is there and listening to the keyboard and running, just not creating a display.
This machine has been working fine with 08.10 for quite time up until yesterday, so I don't believe it is a hardware problem.Any ideas why the video on the virtual terminals would not work?
I am working on Ubuntu 9.10.Since last two days there is issue while working with Terminal.Whenever I type a command and press enter it doesnt do anything. command is not executed. I guess its in loop. when I press Ctrl+C then it comes out of loop. this happens with all commands and I am not sure what is the problem.I have reinstalled Terminal but it did not worked.
