It would be great if there was a terminal emulator application that used SDL.
Basically all I want to do is open a terminal, however, this is on an embedded device, and the only form of output available to me is the linux framebuffer (or ssh/serial, but I want to use the LCD). I have SDL installed already.
Actually, if there is an application that uses the framebuffer device directly, that would be fine too. I just think its odd that there are so many terminal emulators already, but none of them use SDL.
Is there a terminal emulator which works well in an Ubuntu desktop and provides the following features which Mac OS X's Terminal application has? Re-wrapping text when the window is resized.A Clear command which clears scrollback (as the shell clear does not) and does not clear the cursor's line (typically containing a prompt).
I'm looking for some information about termcap and terminfo... I've got some, but the problem is that some things confuse me... I thought every terminal and terminal emulator should be there, but many of the terminal emulators I use are not there.. Is this different between distributions?
Are x-terminal-emulator and gnome-terminal different in any way? I noticed when I when I put those commands in my terminal they both opened the gnome-terminal.
Is there a way to set up profiles for X terminal emulator such as one can do with konsole? and if so, can they be configured to launch at xfce startup?
Example Tab called "mutt". When tab is opened, mutt is started. Tab starts when xfce starts terminal emulator.
FYI: 1)Using slack 13.0 2)Comfortable with command line, vim and command line tools. 3)Python programmer (and some shell)
I have an OpenBSD server and I access i'm trying to access it via serial port with a Opensuse computer. I have been using Minicom but its 2 emulation types (vt102 and ANSI) Dont seem to be working for me. Is there a terminal emulator for linux that supports wyse50? That would be best.
I'm trying to launch a root terminal with a profile preloaded, but I'm not yet used to the way gnome handles its syntax, so the default link to root terminal has me confused:
I know this is strictly a KDE problem, but I don't want to create another account anywhere and get the KDE spam, etc.
But if anybody who reads this list has the ear of (or is) a KDE person, a minor bitch with KDE in 13.0 and 13.1 is that if you were using Konsole terminals at the time of shutting down KDE, when next you start KDE, it replaces them with Terminal Emulators.
Setting up my slackware system for prime use, i downloaded robby's xfce 4.8 package and upgraded xfce 4.6. Later i downloaded slackpkg and upgraded all my packages for the first time. When i did a restart, xfce 4.8 had gone back to xfce 4.6. I just went back to the directory where i was storing all the xfce 4.8 files and did the upgrade again, it worked; now for some reason though my terminal emulator no longer works, as regular user and root. I get an eroor saying, failed to execute terminal emulator. Input/output error.
I want to leave KDE (too bloated, got less than 300-400 megs free mem of 4G, mostly consumed by kde&friends) and I need some lightweight replacements for:
1. Desktop: lightweight, highly configurable, with utilities out of the box for: window switching (i.e. fluxbox doesn't have it and it makes me nuts), run command (usually alt+f2, I'm very used to it), virtual desktops.
2. Terminal Emulator: konsole is a very comfortable tool, highly customizable and I like it very much, but again it's very resource expensive. What do I need: no cursor blinking (gnome developers, why do you think it's comfortable? it's killing people), multitab, utf support, shortcuts customization.
3. And probably a drop-down console like yakuake or tilda (both are consuming too much resources). Requirements are the same as for terminal emulator.
I've spent a week trying to find something fitting this requirements and found nothing.
What I've tried: Desktops: fluxbox, openbox, blackbox and other *box: Major: 1. No window switching dialog 2. Awful run dialog (had to hack it so it reports at least something) 3. No window highlights in tray 4. Lots of problems with window focus minor: - some awkward position dialog on window movement - hardly customizable - need to change configs. (yes, I want this to be done via mouse and configuration dialog because it is easier and faster)
icecwm: Major: 1. looks like a time traveler from 80's 2. problems with window switching 3. no run dialog (had to make it work with grun) Minor: 1. hardly customizable
Terminal emulators: lxterminal - mostly ok: 1. awful blinking cursor 2. I've got ctrl-shift mapped to language switching and I'm very used to it.
Tried to hack it: cursor - np, key bindings - bunch of problems, I don't know why, but GDK_CONTROL_MASK | GDK_MOD1_MASK doesn't work = tried to find some widget for setting accelerator keys - no luck.
eterm - very nice: 1. no multitabbing that sux... mrxvt - the best, but doesn't have a utf support
A bunch of other libvte-based terminals with the same bugs: 1. No configuration options (that stupid cursor blinking and keybindings are hardcoded)
Drop down: 1. tilda - too heavy, no key bindings customization 2. yakuake - the best, but too heavy 3. yeahconsole - didn't even start with screams: 10 XError request
I need a terminal application for linux with support for custom scripts and support to bind this scripts for hotkeys.For example I login into computers hundreds times a day. I don't want to write login and password, but to press a hotkey (Ctrl + Z for example) to automate this process. [input login, press Enter, input password, press enter, input some command...]
I'd like to redefine the actual colors that ANSI escape sequences show, i.e. I'd like to personalize what "light red" means and render it as, say, orange. Is there any terminal emulator that works under linux that allows me to do this? how?
I am designing a program called "Microcom", a VERY tiny terminal "emulator" (more like a serial console). I am making it specifically to work with uClibc to use as a serial console for my floppy disk distro.
Problem is, it works fine receiving data but it does not send any data.
I opened KPackageKit in my new Fedora system. I want to get wine. The description says "A Windows 16/32/64 bit emulator". But wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a CDROM emulator that runs on Linux. I want to emulate this configuration:
[CDROM DRIVE]----USB CABLE----[COMPUTER UNDER TEST]
Where [COMPUTER UNDER TEST] is a computer that boots from a physical CD inserted into the [CDROM DRIVE]. Only instead of the [CDROM DRIVE] I want the following configuration:
[CD IMAGE BUILD MACHINE]-----USB CABLE-----[COMPUTER UNDER TEST].
I want to build an ISO image on the [CD IMAGE BUILD MACHINE] and have some sort of USB CDROM emulator running on it to serve up the ISO image to the [COMPUTER UNDER TEST] as though it was talking to the [CDROM DRIVE]. Does this exist? If it does, I can't find it. I want to do this so I can test out bootable CDs without burning a lot of coasters.
I've had enough with Windows and decided to try Ubuntu, I'm slowly getting used to it a bit and finding my feet a little but my big problem is: I have an Iphone and I'm only keeping Windows currently as I can't get iTunes to work on Ubuntu. I've looked online for 'how to' vids ect and I have found many things yet none of them tell me in simple terms how to do it. Do I need to run a emulator of a mac os? Run iTunes in Wine?
I have some ISO, UDF, and IMG files on my Windows partition that I would like to mount in Fedora so that I can run it as if it were a CD. In Windows, I used Magic Disk to do this. I searched the forums and found posts that told how to do it from the CLI, but I would like to do it from the GUI.
what is the best mac emulator? a friend was talking about running some games through mac emulator, but i didnt get a chance to ask him about it. and how do yall mostly run games? i tried a couple games using wine, but some games do not work. though i have not tried a whole lot.
Most of the really popular packages (Skype, ooVoo, Dragon Naturally Speaking, etc) are available for Microsoft and Apple platforms but not Linux/Ubuntu. Wine doesn't seem to bring much joy for running these reliably. So my question is - is there a Mac emulator? That would seem a good way to go since apple also use a unix variant and presumably the emulator would be a lot more compatible/reliable?
how to get it to make the roms that i downloaded show up..i've read countless threads with no luck, seems each person's problem is so very different.i'm using 64bit.
I am right now trying to install skyeye - an emulator on F12. on make, i have the following error: could not find sys/stropts.h. What am I missing here, which could overcome this error./Bharath
i did some investigation and came accross mouseemu. however it seems like mouseemu is no longer part of the suse repositories. also its just available for ppcis there any way to have a behaviour like ctrl+click + rightclick?
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1501. The other day I installed a super nintendo emulator (ZSNES) to play around, but decided I didn't like it and cannot unistall it.I am an administrator on this machine. I have tried uninstalling from the synaptic package manager (crash) and the ubuntu software center. In the ubuntu software center, the error I get is:
Code:
installArchives() failed: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 2 package 'xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse': value for `status' field not allowed in this context
Is there something I'm not doing right? Forgive the newbieness, as always
I am new to ubuntu and I have been having problems downloading the dolphin gamecube and wii emulator when I downloaded it I got a binary file but I have no clue how to install it.
K theres nothing online for PSX or ePSXe on ubuntu 10.04. i have the 32 bit os installed, but my processor is 64 bit, idk if that matters... but is there anyway i can get a decent PSX emulator on my system?
