Slackware :: Vim Colours Change Slightly In Xterm When A Key Is Pressed?
May 4, 2011
I'm having a problem with vim and xterm. When I open a file and press any key, the colour scheme changes slightly. This doesn't happen if I run a 256-colour xterm (export TERM='xterm-256color') but if TERM is set to 'xterm' (the default) I see the colour change. Setting TERM='xterm-256color' in my ~/.bashrc is a "solution", but I'd rather not have to do that since it's never been necessary in the past (e.g., on 13.1) and I don't use any 256-color schemes for vim (usually just the default or possibly "delek"). It doesn't happen with rxvt or with Xfce's terminal. I've tried compiling some other versions of xterm but they either exhibit the same behaviour or don't build. I have tried running without any ~/.vimrc file just to be sure it wasn't one of my settings and I've also tried the sample file at /usr/share/vim/vimrc; the effect is the same.

How to change light green text color to dark green of xterm? The xterm background is white. Light green texts are not good for white background. I don't want to change the xterm background.

Start xpdf or gv. Click an xterm to be active and slide it over xpdf/gv. Vertical lines from xpdf/gv under the xterm stick to the xterm window above and make it unreadable.
The problem does NOT show with KDE default settings with display effects on but does show in fvwm, xfce etc, and in KDE without effects.
On a system with a Sandy Bridge integrated graphics (i5-2400) the problem went away by downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.13.0. But it was not enough for another system with 945G which needed downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.12.0.

So when I upgraded to Slack64 13.1 on my asus MB homebrewed desktop and Slack 13.1 on my compaq presario a900 laptop, I started having issues with the xterm title (in Terminal--not Konsole) being too dynamic. By "too dynamic" I mean that I can't actually change the title. The dynamic title (from my .bashrc) is basically just pwd. Whenever I try to set the title (via terminal->set title (menu)), I changes it for a split second, and then reverts back to the dynamic title.
This is merely a petty annoyance, so to get around it, I added an xtitle function that I grabed somewhere online (just echos "�33]0;$*�07"). So for nano-ing some file, I'd type:xtitle some_file.txt; nano some_file.txt
That works just fine (kind of annoying to type though). running xtitle alone won't actually change the name either though (I'm pretty sure it's the same command as what terminal does anyway). That is, running: xtitle some_file.txt
changes the title for a split second, and the reverts back to my old pwd.What I really want is to have it dynamically name it "some_file.txt" whenever I use nano, but that appears to be a functionality of zsh (with the preexec() fxn).I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if you have a fix for it.

I would like to ask how to change the colours on the screen. I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10 (04?) I think ... well that is what it said on the download page, so I guess it must be But it is terribly dull! All black, is there any way to make it a litte less boring, please. I am not a Goth and my computer would not be black were it not for the fact that I haven't gotten around to spraying it blue. Or green. Well, that is actually part of the problem. So many to choose from.Anyway - I looked in the system and the administration but there was no manner to do this.

I am currently using a Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04
When I press the power button, I see a dialogue box which asks for confirmation and if nothing is confirmed system automatically shuts down in 60 seconds.
I want to change this time of 60 seconds to say 30 seconds. Is it possible? Also is there a way to hide that dialogue box...

Still ironing out the kinks in a new install of Fedora 12.For some reason I am not able to change the icons, colours or font size used in the Nautilus file browser. While I am able to change these settings in System>Preferences>Appearance, changes just don't affect the Nautilus file browser, which continues to use the default Fedora icons in blue and 9 pt. Sans as its font no matter what I do. On the GNOME desktop I am able to adjust fonts and sizes, but when I change the icons, settings do not stick after a reboot.
I have tried deleting the ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus directory, downgrading nautilus, even removing and reinstalling it entirely, but to no avail. Tools like gnome-color-chooser affect the panel and desktop, but just don't have any effect on the Nautilus file browser. Why?This looks to me like a permissions issue possibly? The situation could be affected by the fact that the settings in /home were inherited from a previous installation of another linux distro.

I was wondering how to change the xterm font size and may be the font itself. Also we go to tty1 when we press Ctrl+Alt+f1 , f3 and so on. Is there any way I can change that too and maybe change the colour of the font and the size of it. I did change the resolution once in ubuntu with startup manager. I'm using fedora 14.

I have RAR archive including some files using Russian file names and I?m unable to display them properly in xterm window in my Slackware 13.1. Instead of the Cyrillic letters I see questions marks, for example ??.txt?.I tried four methods:
Code:
xterm -en iso-8859-5 -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-5
xterm -en koi8-r -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-koi8-r

I'd try here first, since I am running slackware, though it's a firefox problem ... To verify bug, just go into a KDE konsole xterm, and do
[13:35 ~]$ mkdir ~/ffbug
[13:35 ~]$ touch ~/ffbug/_$'31'_
[13:35 ~]$ firefox file://$(echo ~)/ffbug &
(This assumes you didn't already have a ~/ffbug directory, and you have firefox 3.5.6 installed -- the prior firefox id not have this problem) What you will probably see is firefox trying to display a listing of the ~/ffbug directory, but instead showing an error message: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed. I posted this in the mozillazine forum, where it got read 20 times, but no response.

If I do setenv DISPLAY other_machine:0 and launch a gui application I can send this application to my other_machine Is there any mean (utility or whatever) to send an OPEN application to another machine (by its pid eventually) So if I have an nedit open, and its pid is 13245, I could do something like send_to_display pid=13245 machine=other_machine:0

Just can't resize xterm or any windows such as firefox. In xterm it seems using the button in the up-right corner could resize the window's width, not height.

I'm trying to turn on the system bell (pc speaker) in xterm. I have the bell working in console (text mode, not under X), and with X running, even firefox can use the pc speaker (it beeps, when I enter a search term which is not found). Only xterm doesn't seem to work.
Here is my xterm config, and the xset command I'm trying to use to turn the bell on:
-------###--------
xterm*renderFont: true
xterm*faceName: Terminus
xterm*faceSize: 12
xterm*loginShell: true
!xterm*Geometry: 102x48+0+0
xterm*Geometry: 102x48
xterm*scrollBar: false
xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: white
!xterm*highlightColor: red
xterm*charClass: 46-47:48
xterm*visualBell: false
-------###--------
xset b on
xset bell 100 1000 1000
-------###--------
If I run xterm with the +vb option, it doesn't help either (I'm testing it with printf "a"). What am I missing? How can I make xterm use my pc speaker as bell?

Just upgrading to 13.0, and one thing I had in KDE 3.5 was a larger (normal) sized xterm, and a smaller sized one. The small sized ones are handy for CL scripts and don't chew up as much screen-estate.
I know I can change defaults in .xinitrc, but I don't know how to make a widget for the small xterm.

I have the following line in my .Xresources, and it only works when I'm not running KDE:
Code:
XTerm*reverseVideo: true When I start up XTerm in Xfce, TWM, or any other window manager, I get the expected black background. When I launch XTerm in KDE, I get a white background, meaning that the reverseVideo setting is not taking effect. When I'm in KDE, launching XTerm with -rv does give me an XTerm with a black background. Obviously, having to add this switch every time I launch an XTerm in KDE is suboptimal, no matter how you try to automate it. Manually running xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources and then launching XTerm immediately afterwards does not make a difference.
If you're wondering why this is a concern, it's because all 256-color vim color schemes (xoria256, desert256, inkpot) require reverseVideo to be set so that XTerm launches with a black background. You get a black-on-black cursor otherwise.

I've read about this. Everyone says to use ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults, and it doesn't work for me. It doesn't do anything at all, in fact. I'm trying to use this:
Code:
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: white
In the ~/.X* files, it won't work. I read that another way of doing it is using
Code:
xrdb -merge .x_settings_file
This will work for me. It's the only thing I can get to work. But when I restart, it will have to be done again. I'm using Slackware 12.2.

I just installed the nvidia drivers and everything looks much nicer but. All my sound works fine, except when I try and get the bell sound (I've not tried others) from the terminal. This is kind of annoying because I want irssi to alert me when I get messages, otherwise I probably would never have noticed.
I really don't know how this could have caused that, but it was working before, isn't now and there does seem to be a lot of reports online of people's sound breaking after installing the nvidia drivers so...
Ok, now that I tried a different set of keywords I realise that this problem seems to have been had by a few other people and is occurs when compiz is on. I'm still not sure I understand it and I don't yet have a solution. :/

I would use the nouveau driver but the color hue seems to be slightly off. Is there any way to adjust the hue for the driver in real time(I don't want to have to change values in Xorg.conf the stop x, restart x and see if it worked). For example the proprietary nvidia drivers have the color settings in nvidia-settings.

I've just installed Maxima and wxmaxima. I've learned how to do simple math equations (3x+7=16) but I can't figure out to do slightly more difficult equations. Specifically, I can't figure out what's wrong with how I input this equation:
Code:
solve (7^(-4*x) = 2^(1+3*x), x);
I've tried incrementally building the equation (starting with 7^(x) = 2, then moving to 7^(-4*x) = 2, etc.)but when I introduce the second x, I get a blank output. I have no idea what to do.

I have been out of the linux game for a few years and decided to get back into it, I've been working now for a few days on figuring out why my machine's network card does not seem to want to work on a new FC13 installation.The machine is an older Dell Dimension with an 2.53 Gig Celeron Processor, 512 Megs of RAM (A gig soon) and the ethernet card is an Intel Corporation 82562EZ. Sone generic thing, though FC13 does recognize and appears to have appropriate software.
ifconfig shows no IP address in the x.x.x.x sense, and restarting the network doesn't seem to do anything. The network card is in working order, I tested it in a winxp installation, and the cable is also functioning.

I just installed 10.10 on my dell e1505 laptop. it has an ati radeon x1400 video card. this is my first time using linux on this pc. anyways my problem is that the laptop screen looks a little soft or slightly out of focus. its also very slightly stretched...but just barely. almost to the point you dont notice unless you are looking for it. now i also have an external monitor and it looks perfect. ive tried changing the monitor resolution but it doesnt help and sometimes it makes both screens flicker like its having a seizure! i forgot to mention that sometimes when opening an app or installing an app. the external monitor goes black for a few seconds. the laptop monitor doesnt though.

I tried ubuntu 10.0 yesterday (running from my usb pen) and I liked it. A lot. However, there are a few issues that i need to know if there's any way to solve them, before making the transition: Keyboard keys are swapped; I mean, if I press alt+(anyNumber) I get another character. Why does this happen?-I develop a lot of code in VBA; I tried to record a macro using Open Office Calc, but I got the impression that the code used in the recorded macro is slightly different.
