Ubuntu :: Terminal Won't Render Or Display?
Aug 14, 2011
I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04Most things appear to work, however I can not use my terminalI can open the terminal (the standard terminal, as well as guake)however it will not render on the screen.It appears as an invisible window. I can type into the terminal area and the commands will process, but I can't see what im typing.Fspot is another window which will not render, however chromium and other programs open fine.I have changed my nvidia driver several times (the default one, nvidia's one and nouveau's manual compile), but this doesn't resolve the issue.Ive tried editing my grub conf file /etc/default/grub and un-commented GRUB_GFXMODE=1024X768

I just installed Xubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on an Intel 1.5GHz, 500 MB RAM, 128 MB video card system, 80 GB hard drive (it's a 5 year old system)....My system meets the requirements according to this [URL]
But for some reason, things aren't displaying correctly. The best way to describe it is that it's almost like Xubuntu can't "repaint" the graphics correctly. So I see distorted lines or text that doesn't render completely.

My question is: what option can I set in vim to see the colouring inside the editor as I would get it in my terminal (and switch off any additional syntax highlighting)?

I'm new to Linux and these forums, but programmed in C++ on other systems. I discovered several Linux terminal emulators don't render Right to Left languages properly and so as an exercise I writing my own. It based on GtkTextView widget. Basically is working, but the shell won't issue prompts because it doesn't think my terminal emulator is actually a terminal (isatty returns false)

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).

Is there a way to NOT display the current full directory path in the terminal? I'd like to set the default to be just the current directory instead of everything back to ~.

when we navigate into directories withing directories the terminal displays the entire path right from the root. Now how to make it just show the current directory I am working in? For examplevineeth@vineeth-laptop:~/Desktop/linux_programming/python_programming/project_duplicate_zip_files$ as you can see that I am in the current project_duplicate_zip_files directory but it displays right from the root. how to just make it something like below:vineeth@vineeth-laptop:/project_duplicate_zip_files$

I am having issues with displaying Asian characters when using the $ tree command. I have tried changing it via Terminal -> Set character Encoding -> Unicode (UTF-8.) in terminal options.I have also tried changing it to various other Asian encodings as well.Asian characters do display correctly in Pcman, Firefox, Leafpad and Terminal if I open Terminal from Pcman. When I try the command

Clean install of 10.04 Server 32 bit.Only services OpenSSH Server and Print Server.Machine boots and can be accessed through ssh.Virtual terminals (cntl-alt-1,2,3,4,... do not result in video to the monitor (no sync) or a display.If I type blind, I can log in, ssh back to my other machine, and create a file. So the virtual terminal is there and listening to the keyboard and running, just not creating a display.
This machine has been working fine with 08.10 for quite time up until yesterday, so I don't believe it is a hardware problem.Any ideas why the video on the virtual terminals would not work?

Usually I open 5 terminals. And since each of those 5 terminals prints it's tile as: "username@username-laptop: ~" It becomes very hard to see what is what. So, I would like my terminal to always change it's title automatically to the program that I am currently using.
So, if I type "irssi", the title of my gnome-terminal-window, should change to: "irssi" for example.

For awhile I have had this issue with the command line and every time I try to complete any command that requires GTK graphics, It always returns the error "Error: cannot open display: 0:" The "EXPORT display" command that I normally use to fix this issue is not working. The only issue that I can think might be the cause for this could be my upgrade to natty (which was in fact a clean installation), or when I edited plymouth so that the startup and shutdown animations would match my laptop's native resolution (by the way I would also appreciate it if I could do the same with the startup animation, only the shutdown really works). If anybody know how I could resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and for specifics on my machine, I am using an ASUS N82 with an NVIDIA GEFORCE GT335M graphics card, running Ubuntu 11.04.

I just installed Xubuntu 11.04 via wubi. Whenever I would attempt to do a normal install, the graphics would seem to crash and the screen would become distorted and basically just blocks of black and white. So I tried to do it in graphics safe mode, which succeeded. However, now I cannot start the Xubuntu GUI, and I get the error message "Display not found".

I am new to Fedora. I just put it on my H.P AMD Quad core machine. I have eight gigs of ram and plenty of storage. I loaded it into Microsoft Virtual PC, and it boots fine and seems to work ok in tty1. I am a cit student at a community college and seem to get little to no support from my teacher who is teaching a beginning course on Linux. He told me to ask here. When I use ctrl-alt-f2 or f3-f4 and so on all the way up the levels, I got green lines across the screen, as if the graphics card is not working. I have 23 inch monitor and a Nvidia 9500 GT ddr3 512mb graphics card that I installed after I bought the computer. My host operating system is Windows 7 , and is working fine. I am now two weeks behind on labs for this class and getting nervous, I need to be able to go to tty2 to do these labs.

Exporting display from a Linux terminal to a Linux desktop is easy; you do the following:
On 192.168.90.121 (localPC):
xhost + 192.168.10.164
On 192.168.10.164 (remotePC):
export DISPLAY=192.168.90.121:0.0 <br/>
firefox
The Firefox window appears on my localPC. In the above case both PCs are Linux.
Can I similarly export the Linux display to a Windows PC? In the above example, localPC would be Windows and remotePC would be Linux.

How can we write a file and display in terminal at the same time. Like for example, when I do..
php -f file.php > testfile
That should save right.. but I want to display it in terminal otherwise.

Is there a software I can use to display on a terminal that would display traffic or log information to a display terminal. I have CentOS on all my boxes. I would like to have a terminal up and have it show things like requests to the DNS servers, apache or maybe anything else. Especially errors. I know if I had something just displaying live from the web server it would go by so fast you couldn't see it so I would have to slow it down or something.

I was messing around with fed 12 yesterday (only on a test installation) and i've hit a snag. I installed openbox and tint2, nitrogen, obconf etc so i could have a #!-style session at startup. It all worked fine until i installed pcmanfm and removed nautilus. The problem is that i can't display files in my home directory, either using pcmanfm, a reinstalled nautilus, or in terminals. Every time i try to point a file brower there it just seems to get stuck searching forever, until i kill it. Weirdly in terminator i can do an 'ls' to see visible files, but 'ls -la' causes the problem again.
ps i thought permissions might have something to do with it, so i did a 'chmod -R 777' as root. it changed permissions for quite a lot of the files but then froze again, and now the problem persists.

I am having an issue with my GUI desktop display. I switched from the desktop to a virtual terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F2. Upon returning to the GUI desktop (Ctrl+Alt+F7), my display is all garbled up. I tried changing the resolutions, and it does not make a difference. I tried rebooting and the display is still bad.

I am running Debian Lenny and just upgraded via "apt-get upgrade" yesterday and all appears to be fine, except I noticed that when I ping something from a terminal window, it only displays successful pings and does not show the failed ones. When the pings fail, I have to "Ctrl-C" to see the results and cannot see them in real-time. It's not a huge problem, but I'd still like to be able to see immediate results even when pings fail.
Example is below:
(Username and host name changed to protect the innocent; or due to being overly paranoid, whichever).

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 with unity. Occasionally I will have text in firefox that doesn't render properly. It will have horizontal lines through it. I have attached an example of the problem I am having.
Is this a bug in 11.04?

I think I have Bug #444372 which seems to be fixed and available. I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 l Linux 2.6.31-20generic #58-Ubuntu SPM Fri Mar 12 i686 GNU This was listed as fixed 2010-02-10 and Bug Watch Updater on 2010-03-02 Changed in linux:
status: Confirmed ā†’ Fix Released
I installed 9.10 by ISO DVD gotten from the Ubuntu website after 2010-03-02.I have installed all updates in the Update Manager today.The error output is still showing up in my syslog:
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
[drm:i915_handle_error] error EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking
render error detected, EIR: 0x0000010
My system hangs frequently. The desktop looks normal and the mouse is alive but nothing on the desktop will respond. CTL ALT F2 does not respond. I'm not sure if this bug is related.My hardware is an emachine D2823 Celeron D 325 with 256MB. Not the best and I expect it to be slow but not hang forcing a plug pull.

i've used ubuntu as main system from a few months to now and i'm finding my first big problem. I can use games and see movies without any problem, even using wine i can play wow at 40+ fps with medium/high options. Recently i've downloaded and instaled ogre and found that, if i try to render the sample modelit slows down. It says it is showing about 2kfps, but the model moves as if it was at 1 or 2 fps. By chance, i saw that if i open wow and then render the model of ogre, suddendly it goes smooth. Trying to find the problem, i went to the system test option of ubuntu11, when i arrieved glxgears test, it showed a really slow performance. Tried with wow opened and... magic!, it runs like hell XD. Then i tried calling glxgears from console, it says 9k+ fps, but again it went really slow! don't know whats happening.

i want to create a command that can be typed in any old terminal window that would display a message on screen for anyone who typed it. is this possible? i just want to do this for the randomness of it.
and cuz i need to get used to messing with terminal windows.
for example i would like to have "rawr" setup as a command to display a message on screen in a popup window with an "Ok" button to close the popup. i googled it but all i came up with was creating commands to launch applications without having to type the full path/command. not what i'm looking for. thanks in advance!!!

For some reason under Ubuntu 9.10 (x86 and x64), MetaPost refuses to render any images that contain text. If you open the file for Image.1, it opens evince and it hangs indefinitely. I can create images perfectly fine and render this as long as there is no text. Am I missing any specific font packages or something that I should be using? I know that it works under Windows. I also know that on a different machine I had a while back (running Ubuntu 8.04, I believe), I had it working then.
