Software :: Moving A Job Between Terminals?
Sep 14, 2010
i'm not at all a newbie, but this has been a mystery to me in the last 10 years, since no FAQ/tutorial/anything about UNIX CLI seems to talk about it. so what i'd like to do, is start a job (e.g. wget stuff, which takes a long time) on tty1, background it, and foreground it on tty2. or start it on my server via ssh, background it, log out, and foregroud it when i log back in. i know how to bg and fg stuff, but that only works while the shell is running.

I like the buttons on the left. I'm running 10.04 & I know how to move them. The problem is that changing themes will move them back right. OK, if the new theme has them on the right that's OK. But going back to the other theme doesn't change them back. They don't seem to be controlled by the theme, or I'm just not doing it right.

I have limited experience in terminal, but let me first explain what I am trying to do to see if there is some easier way to do it. Basically I want to change the skin in aMSN. I downloaded the new skin but am unable to unzip or move it without /root permissions. I don't know how to acquire this without being in terminal. So I figured there had to be some way to go into the terminal and use it to move the unzipped folder from the desktop to the aMSN skins folder.

I firstly open one terminal. Then I try to open another terminal window through application list, but the terminal I opened beforehand turns up. I can open several terminals at the same time in Ubuntu, how can I realize the same function in Fedora?

In my new install of F15, I can: Activities -> Applications -> Terminal to start a terminal. I am unable to start a second terminal if the first is still running. I don't have any problems creating as many terminals as I like with F10. How do I create more than one terminal in F15?

When i start my Ubuntu it doesnt go directly into xserver/desktop mode. This is because my machine is very slow. Therefor i exclusivly use the terminal. I only hate the fact that there is only one terminal and i cant switch between them. ctrl-shift-F2 doesnt work. How can i use multiple terminals before having logged into X?

I found out that I do not have virtual terminals on my computer (Ubuntu 9.10). When I am trying to switch, say, to tty2 with Ctr-Alt-F2, I am getting a black screen with lonely cursor blinking in the upper left corner (no login prompt). my tty2.conf file is
Code:
# tty2 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty2 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

I just installed Stretch on my laptop and I have a problem with the terminals. The system loads fine on KDE and I can use it without issues. However, when I switch to the tty terminals, they move very fast horizontally and slowly vertically as if there is some sync frequency issue. Then if I move back to KDE most of the time it works ok, while some others it starts flickering like the terminals.

Running Debian Squeeze and when I try to switch between gnome and a system terminal ctrl-alt-f1(etc) I just get a black screen. Any thoughts? I'm using the radeonhd xorg driver but don't think that should affect it.

Whenever I boot my machine into runlevel 5 (X support) I can't get to any of the virtual terminals. If I do a ps and grep for mingetty I see terminals 4-6 are running. But ctrl-alt-f{4-6} just put me to a blank screen. If I hit alt-f1 I get back to X. I've found that if I start tty2 by running "sudo mingetting tty2" I get the following error in /var/log/messages: mingetty: tty2: no controlling tty: Operation not permitted. I am not using selinux and have noticed that /etc/inittab no longer has the ttys. The reading I have done thus far says it's started by gdm but I don't really see a lot of info about controlling them. Any ideas on this?

Graphical terms and xterm start up in ~/Documents. Konsole starts at ~ (as expected). I know I'm missing something (probably long forgotten) but I can't seem to find where the Documents is coming from in the other terms. I thought xterm ALWAYS started in the user home. Is it a bash thing? I have a ~/.bashrc with

I always get messages like those below in my terminals, that obfuscate my typing.
How can I get rid of them (updated opensuse 11.2)?
I already reconfigured syslog to move PackageKit messags to a separate file (because the messages appeared in /var/log/messages too, and I hoped that was the source).
I'm ok with seeing severe error messages on the console, but not spam like PackageKit started..., stopped...

The usual vim yank and paste works only in the same window (but does work across files and close/save commands). Is it possible to make it work across terminals (yank from window in one terminal and paste in another) and if so, how?

Using 10.04 on my laptop, but I can't access the virtual terminals (ctrl+alt+f1-f6). Instead I get a weird screen with apparently randomly generated lines, as they change each time I attempt to access them. (Sometimes it is just a solid color.) They also appear on shutdown/ switching user. I'm using a VIA VX800 chipset.

In a tty (the terminal you access via CTRL+ALT+(F1-F6), is there a way to change the resolution? The text is freaking huge right now and I want to lowerit a bit.

after karmic to lucid upgrade i ve got problem with "alt + f4" key combination. This should only close window, but it closes window and switch to tty4 (text mode) like ctrl + alt + f4 so i can switch between terminals with ctrl + alt +fX and alt+fX. I've looked at System - Preferences - Shortcuts and there everything is ok. What i've to do to fix this ?

I have Lucid Lynx (10.04) installed, and have this annoyance with various terminals and the Help Menu automatically opening at startup. So every time i boot up i get a screen full of open terminals:
1. Ubuntu Help Centre
2. File Browser
3. Desktop Terminal
I have tried looking at the Startup menu under Preferences but there is no entry for any of the above.

I am making a bash script. I have captured user input like so. code...
But it does not work. Airodump-ng "takes over" and the script does not continue.
How do I make it so that I can make a new Terminal, or allow more commands to take place on the current one, allow the output from airodump-ng to be shown, and keep the caught user input?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, GNOME and would like it so that anyone with a GUI Terminal, Konsole or whatever can execute the script successfully.
I'm confused...I looked up on Google and couldn't find anything! Just "Beginners guide to Bash Scripting" and "How to BASH script" but nothing relevant that answer my question!

how do I switch to the text-based virtual terminals when using Fedora under VMware? I believe that normally you use ALT-CTRL-F2 through ALT-CTRL-F6, and F1 switches you back, but the ALT-CTRL is intercepted by VMware to allow you to switch back to the host OS.

Switching between text consoles in a Linux virtual machine When the CTRL + ALT + F1 key combination is used to switch to another text console (terminal) on a Linux virtual machine, the host switches to a text console instead of the guest. Resolution The CTRL + ALT combination is used by VMware to direct the keyboard input to the host. Press CTRL + ALT + Space , press the F1 key (or desired Function key) while still holding down CTRL + ALT .

Has anyone else here had a problem getting virtual terminals to work when booting into F15's 'graphical mode'? This is what used to be runlevel 5 in the old SysV init system, before the switch to systemd. Before F15, I could do a Ctrl-Alt-F[n] (for n=1,...6) to get virtual terminals while in runlevel 5, and this was easy to control by editing /etc/inittab.
But with systemd, /etc/inittab is no longer used, and finding where the virtual terminals get created took me a bit of time. I tracked it down to the /lib/systemd/system/prefdm.service file, which seems to stop creating virtual terminals after tty1 in order to prevent the display manager and plymouth from conflicting on that virtual terminal. I'm using the Slim display manager (installed via yum), and I only got tty1 (showing console messages), tty2 took me back to X, and there were no tty3-6 any more. I noticed from ps that there was some kind of "plymouth --wait" process running, so I killed it. After doing so, the other virtual terminals showed up. Has anyone else here experienced something similar?
It appears that /lib/systemd/system/plymouth-quit.service is not exiting properly, and this is causing the problem. This problem only occurs in graphical mode, not in console mode (what used to be runlevel 3). My first solution was to put "/bin/plymouth quit" in /erc/rc.d/rc.local, and upon rebooting that did indeed fix the problem. But eventually I just removed plymouth altogether, which also fixes the problem. It would be nice though if plymouth-quit.service just worked as it was supposed to. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

For some reason, just shortly ago, the terminals, konsole, etc. will not accept the lowercase letter 'e' as input for some reason, not even when pasting, e.g.
a paste of file:///usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop
becomes fil:///usr/shar/applications/kd4/konsol.dsktop
on the command line. Weird.
For everything else I have tried at this point on the computer, the lowercase letter 'e' is just fine (this message being an example);Has some configuration file for terminals (konsole, xterm, Yakuake) or whatever got messed up and I need to correct it?
