Ubuntu :: Shake Won't Launch From Terminal
Oct 8, 2010
I have a copy of Shake (I was given it by my friend) It is the Linux version and I have followed instructions to install and after a few problems and errors I think I have everything in place. However when I type the advised command from Terminal: 'csh Shake' All that happens is the terminal moves to a new line with no text. I can still type and press enter but nothing happens, just goes to a new blank line. Thing is it doesn't give any errors. I have chmod'd the correct folders, have installed all required included files and library's. Also, im sorry for posting this here, I could not post in the Multimedia section

I have a favorite REXX program called fv2. When I was a Windows user I had an icon for fv2 on the Quick Launch bar. Click that icon, and the program ran. Now, as a Linux (Ubuntu) user it is necessary to go through several steps to run fv2.
1) Launch a terminal by clicking on the terminal icon at the top of the screen. What's that area called? The GNOME panel?
2) Enter: ~/Desktop/RexxScripts
3) Enter: regina fv2
I run fv2 several times per day and would really like to have the convenience of a clickable icon.

I need to creat launcher that launches Terminal into a specific Profile..
I found a website that says that this code will work
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=<Profile_name>
But, I also need to launch to specific Directory also. So, My code looks like this
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Scripts --working-directory /home/mike2/Desktop/Scripts
But it doesnt work.. I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong, though.

I recently installed Ubuntu and dolphin file manager but when I press Shift+F4 for Terminal I get this error: Could not launch the terminal client: KDEInit could not launch 'konsole'.: Could not find 'konsole' executable. Now, I know I can open it with Ctrl+Alt+T but with shift+f4 from dolphin, terminal starts with current folder in command line.

I am a total linux n00b and am having trouble with scripts. I am taking a basic linux class and I have to write a script with input and output, and it must have branching (a loop or if statement). In any case, I have decided to write a script (hopefully) that will ask the user what the base and height of their triangle is, and then my script will calculate the area for the user.
Writing the actual script will be fun and challenging for me, but to test out launching scripts I have been researching them online and found this website: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intr...O-2.html#ss2.1 In any case, I am using Ubuntu right now and went to: Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor. Then wrote:
#!/bin/bash
echo Hello World
I then clicked file -> save as... and the name of my file is "hello.sh". Under the "save in folder" option I chose the folder "Documents". So then I click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and type "./hello.sh" and the next line says "bash: ./hello.sh: No such file or directory" How do I launch a script in terminal!

openSUSE 11.2, just installed. When I start the "Root Terminal", I get this error message: Could not launch 'Root Terminal' Failed to execute child process "gksu" (No such file or directory) This error message doesn't mean enough to me to know what I need to do.

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:
Code:
gksu -D Terminal -- env -u ORBIT_SOCKETDIR /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
Apparently, the method using gnome-terminal is to add a trailing
Code:
--window-with-profile=PROFILENAME
but this did not work, probably because in this case I'm not calling directly on gnome's terminal.

I cannot launch gnome-terminal from the Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal menu. However a gnome-terminal process is created (I can see it in a terminal that I happened to have open) but it doesn't seem to actually run (I have several of these terminals in the ps list now but they haven't actually run as terminals and it's been at least 2 hrs). At first I thought they weren't running at all until I checked (it looked like the Starting Terminal message at the bottom of the gnome GUI ran abnormally long and then terminated so I thought at first that they weren't running at all).
Also it looks like my gnome session is clobbering the CPU: running at or over 80% of cpu time at times (it does change but mostly it is high). All I'm doing is minor web work + updating a file in Open Office - when I noticed this I got out of Open Office and that had no effect. So it looks like application software is running (this was launched from a terminal) but running from the menu seems to result in processes with low priority (that doesn't seem right though). This just started today and my system has been mostly running correctly for a year or so (last year I got an Acer 5532 on sale, wiped it and installed Fedora 11).

I work on a number of servers and do so many repetitive tasks that it's easier for me to make launchers on my desktop for these tasks. It's also necessary for opening windows in my secondary screen. I like to view the error logs as I work, so I have a screen session on my servers that 'tail -f /the/error.log' for easy viewing. I set up a launcher on my desktop that launches the following command:
Code: gnome-terminal --display :0.1 --geometry=156x33 -x ssh -t my-server 'screen -r' The command works perfectly. The window is created on the correct screen, with the correct size and information. The problem is gnome-terminal will exit/crash with no errors after a little while. This happens sometimes when I get up from my computer as well as while I am working on it.
I am saying that there are no errors because I have opened a terminal and ran the command in that terminal. When the new gnome-terminal closes, there are no errors or abnormal output on the generating gnome-terminal.

I was trying to make uDev let me mount and unmount devices from my Xfce desktop... I installed udiskie, modified fstab, and finally got it working, but somewhere in the process, my terminal emulator just... died. Now, when I try to launch it, I get this error message: "" (I think I can translate that as Failed to execute child... process? not quite sure) "getpt failed: Not such file or directory." So far, I've been looking but couldn't find anything similar anywhere. also: this happens with all the terminal emulators I've tried (Terminal, gnome-terminal, sonata), except for xterm... which does just nothing: doesn't launch or send error messages.

Fresh guest install of current as of changelog dated 16-Feb-2011, in to VirtualBox 4.0.4 (13.1 x86_64 host).
1. About 6 of the icons normally residing in the top half of Settings Manager are missing (names are their and functions work). Selecting 'Appearance -> Icons' and re-selecting the one choice available restores one, the rest remain MIA.
2. Default xfce Terminal launch fails with error <????> Re-selecting the default 'Preferred Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal -> Xfce Terminal' has no effect. 'Properties' shows the usual 'exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator'.
Setting 'Preferred Applications' to 'X Terminal' launches an xterm successfully as expected.

Linux-goers. I did some research on this, but I am still fairly new to Linux. In Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), I accidentally overwrote my "/bin/bash" file. Dude, using "sudo" with a small typo can work disasters. Bash is now broken in the Terminal (gnome-terminal). Terminal itself still works fine, technically, but bash is still hosed/broken. Here is what I did to try to fix it: Booted from Ubuntu 10.10 live CD. Mounted my Ubuntu partition and manually copied the good/fresh "bash" file onto my hard drive. Verified copy was successful. Didn't help, as you see. Reinstalled "gnome-terminal" using synaptic package manager. Tried to reinstall bash via synaptic, it failed with error, "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/bash_4.1-2ubuntu4_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2"
In Terminal, all basic commands work as far as I can tell. ("ls", "pwd", navigation, etc.) Here are some problems:My "username@computername" does not display in the prompt; only the $ sign. Bash keyboard shortcuts such as uparrow and tab do not work. Instead, each inserts a key code. I can't even move the cursor left/right. Aliases (a function of bash and .bashrc) are broken, of course. My sanity level decreases when I use Terminal now. For what it's worth, even with "sudo" I get a "permission denied" error when trying to run Google Chrome! I read something about a ".bashrc" file being a possible problem, but I don't know how to make it work, or the file's proper locations in Ubuntu 10.10. Is there something I can do with a "make" or "apt-get install" command or something?? Could this simply be a permissions problem? Is the link to "/bin/bash", "/bin/sh", or a ".bashrc" file broken? Guide me, oh Linux gurus.
P.S. I always wondered what exactly bash was and how it was different from the basic terminal. LoL, this is an excellent way to demonstrate the difference, and I WANT IT BACK!

I'm using 10.04, and gnome-terminal GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 . I have irssi running on screen session on remote host. And I've been struggling for quite many days to configure it to produce either visual feedback or ring terminal's bell when I receive a private message or one of those that are highlighted.
My compiz settings window in General tab has 'Audible bell' checked.
My GNOME terminal has 'Terminal bell' checked.
I also added 'set bell-style audible' to my ~/.inputrc
And I also tried to manually load pcspkr module into my kernel.
No of the above helped or at least I haven't been able to notice any difference.
I also used some commands for irssi to produce bell sign.

I've fallen in love with Terminator as a replacement for the standard gnome-terminal app.
However, I'm also very much in the habit of using the nautilus-open-terminal extension for launching new terminal sessions.
I'd like nautilus-open-terminal to launch Terminator rather than gnome-terminal.
A quick search of my system and the web didn't reveal anything. i didn't find a gconf setting to control this. A quick look at the source code didn't help much either.

I'd like to run a program [URL] from the GUI menu (yes, I know I can run it from the command line). I've gotten this to work by using a menu entry (see attached screenshot).The command is:
Code:
gksu chkrootkit
with the option for Type: was selected as Application in Terminal However, when chkrootkit is finished, the terminal immediately snaps shut according to the profile selection: When Commands Exits: Close terminal What I'd like to do is create another profile that causes the terminal to be held open (see screenshot) when the command exits and be able to choose that profile from the GUI Menu entry. I believe the command when using the CLI is:
Code:
gnome-terminal --profile=<profile_name>
how do I incorporate this within the Command entry line of the launcher?
