Slackware :: Unclear Screen - Move Aside All Shell Startup Scripts?
Mar 18, 2010
using any sort of rxvt-based terminal with TERM set to rxvt (or rxvt-unicode) then ^L will not clear the screen, only act as newline. This is not the behavior I see on Debian or CentOS. I have the same user environment at each site. Using urxvt on centos, ^L will clear the screen like readline(3) says it should. If I then ssh to slackware, it won't. exporting TERM=xterm will cause the correct behavior after having logged in to slackware, but I'd rather understand why this is happening. I've tried moving aside all the shell startup scripts, setting clear-screen explicitly in .inputrc, setting stty sane nothing doing. Am I missing something?

slackware and am infact running Vector Linux which is slackware based. I used to use fedora on my old laptop got a new on and tried vector. The mouse on the new one doesn't seem to want to work properly, it jumps alot and usually ends up at the end of the screen unable to move, however does manage to click almost every icon on the screen and change desktops.A USB mouse works fine its just the touchpad.It's a Zoostorm Freedom and I can't even find the windows drivers for it let alone what i need for this. I tried editing the xorg.conf to stop the tab button, which doesn't do anything, installed the latest synaptics and still nothing, tried using what someone else uses and still nothing, I cant even find out what kind of mouse it is!?

HP laptop with Intel graphicsunning Slackware current with a 2.6.38.7-smp kernel.Booting with the "nomodeset" kernel parm works but X gets stuck with a 1024x768 resolution. When booting without, the screen goes black after a few pages scroll by, just at the point where the console switches to a higher resolution. Changing to a different console didn't help, so I blindly log on and type startx, and the screen comes back to life with KDE running at the higher 1366x768 resolution, I try a few apps, the webcam, suspend to RAM, resume, and everything is now working flawlessly so it doesn't look like an X issue.At this point I can change to another console (or exit KDE altogether) and the screen is back on at the higher resolution. Looking at the X log and some dmesg output makes it seem that starting X possibly replaces, reloads or unloads a driver? If this is the case, how can I prevent the conflicting driver from loading in the first place?Quote:
dmesg |grep drm
[ 11.481967] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 11.637941] [drm] MTRR allocation failed. Graphics performance may suffer.

Is there a way to determine the native resolution of the current console display device from the shell?
I know I can get the current console settings, but I'm looking for the native screen size of the display hardware, whether or not it conflicts with settings.

I find that the new KDE4 notification icon is not very easy to see.The "progress" indication is a microscopic vertical progress bar, that I find very difficult to interpret.OK, it is a minor annoyance, but I do find that I regularly try to use the network on my laptop before the connection has been established.It is also a regression over the icons in 11.1 or before, which were very clear.If people agree with me on this point, I will post a bug, with the aim of getting a clearer icon.

I need to debug upstart because it really doesn't start the jobs at system start that it should do. The upstart documentation says I need to add the kernel parameter "--verbose". Googling a bit further said I need to specify that parameter in the /etc/default/grub file. I found two lines where I can add it:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.The grub documentation remains unclear about what is good for which. Shall I add my verbose parameter to the one or the other? What's the difference between the two anyway? The _DEFAULT currently contains "nomodeset" and the other is empty. Does one replace the other, or will one be appended to the other?I don't want to screw up my system with this because I only have SSH remote access to that server.

In /media/....Directory not empty, maybe "/temp/..." is not an ubuntu image
I'm having this problem trying to load a gparted live ISO onto a usb drive. I want to resize my current extended partition so would rather dl just the gparted ISO than the Ubuntu one as it's taking ages (really slow).
I've tried downloading the gparted ISO a couple of times as I thought the dl might have been corrupted but I can't create a startup disk from the ISO.
(can I use an Ubuntu 9.0.4 live cd for gparted on my 10.04 build? )

An external service I dont manage pushes mediafiles into a shared directory on my server. I need to move these files into their correct directories automatically. The problem is that if I run my script as a cronjob once every 3 minutes, I notice that the script copies files which are still on their way into my server. So I need to figure out how to have the script check that the files are complete (done downloading) before the script moves the files. This is what I got so far:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Script by proximity 280709.
# Locate correct directory

I just updated to kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64, and I'm now having a weird issue where my computer will hang during startup and shutdown unless I move the mouse around.
While moving the mouse, it will boot up or shut down normally. Once i stop moving the mouse around it will hang (until I begin to move the mouse again).Once fully booted it acts fine..

I have create a script to start a server(my first question). Now I want it to run on the system boot and start the defined server. What should I do to get this done? My findings tell me put this file in /etc/init.d location and it will execute when the system will boot. But I am not able to understand how the first argument on the startup will be start? Is this predefined somewhere to use start as $1? If I want to have a case startall that will start all the servers in the script, then what are the options I can manage.
My Script is like this:
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
start

I'm looking to make a launching script which launches a program in one of the current directories that the user has open, the problem is I have no idea how to get info about all of the terminals open.I simply want to check which directories the user has open and do a pwd on the terminals, and then use that to cd into the dir before launching. I might be able to use a combo of who,tty, top, and pwd...but I don't know where to go.

I use CentOS 5.5 and I've trouble in run shell script after system reboot. That script runs jboss server and it looks that way:
#!/bin/sh
rm -R -f /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/tmp/
rm -R -f /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/work/
/opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/bin/run.sh -c default -b 0.0.0.0 -C /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/lib/ > /dev/null &
I've created user account for jboss.
privileges of above script are okay. I've tried so far:
- add command to /etc/rc.local
- add script to /etc/rc3.d/ and create symbolic link to it in /etc/init.d/
- add run script by @reboot annotation in crontab (crond automatically starts with OS)
and jboss still sleeps after reboot. I've noticed that commands which remove directories seem to work when I've added them explictly to /etc/rc.local. But next command which runs jboss hasn't been executed.

I am searching for a way to run multiple commands at boot time using the gnu screen utility.
A solution could be:
But the result would be many sessions, each one with just one child. What I need is just one session with many children, one child per command.

I right clicked on the panel and clicked "New Panel". This actually did nothing the first few times. Eventually it produced a panel on the right side of the screen. When I tried to alt+drag it to move it to my other screen, it won't move. The top and bottom panel do move appropriately.

he is used to the regular netbook edition before the unity-style. The small netbookscreen is just not good for this new appbar on the left side (it's one of the old eee-pc's). None of us like that solution, and I wonder if its possible to move the bar on the bottom side of the screen so it will be a bit more Windows 7-ish?

I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.04.
Before, I could move windows between screens by pressen "Strg-Alt-Enter" (a shortcut I configured myself). Now that does not work anymore.
I remember configuring this shortcut somewhere in ccsm, but now I can not find it anymore.
