sudden unable to start a terminal or logging in to my computer using ssh.Pressing Alt+f2 and typing xterm does not work.Also pressing ctrl+alt+f1 and trying to log in I get logged out immediately. Still gnome seems to be working fine. I have another user on my computer and that one is able to log in to my computerusing ssh, which I think is strange. btw. Did not see anything in the log files (maybe not looking in the right places?
Recently I've updated from 13 to 14. However, after updated I've tried to work with my terminal and it seems doesn't works fine. I can read 'starting terminal' but after that it's closed.I've uninstalled and re-installed it through the graphical tools (gnome-terminal) but that doesn't works fine.
I want to monitor my work on the terminal.I know we can use script command.But every time when I start the terminal, I have to type script to start it.I want to automate it. So where should I include this command so that it will start as soon as I start the terminal ?
MY WORK TILL NOW: I have put this "script" command in the .profile.The when I start the terminal, it became an INFINITE LOOP.I am able to "echo".Thats coming only once.....but if I write a "script" command then it is becoming an INFINITE LOOP.
I want to add an item to my start up... I went to start up and hit add. I want my conky to start up... I need a terminal and the code conky that should start it how do you get a terminal command in start up.?
I've copied a little shell script from the net and when I run it in xfce4-terminal it just works
Code:
sudo ./script.sh
The problem is that this script needs interaction with the user (entering a password) and I want to run it at the startup. I've put it in the /etc/init.d folder, configured the options but I need to know how you can get a terminal to appear at the start up to ask you for the password.
Code:
#!/bin/bash echo "1. Enter your password oldConfig=`stty -g`
I have a binary application that runs only in shell, now I want to open it from another application(Mathematica program) but simply invoking it will start it in memory but not in a shell.
I tryed "bash app" which does not work and "gnome-terminal app" just opens the terminal without launching that application.
Ps: Its the same thing as in Java when you want to invoke a system command like ping but you need to do it like this .exec("cmd ping") instead of just ping.
This is a weird problems.Everytime i log on to my computer/restart my computer, the terminal always autostart.I already checked at startup application.No terminal there.Any suggestion to stop the terminal from autostart with startup?
This worked, but now I want to remove some start up programs using the command line. Can someone point me in the right direction to what I need to do for this?
I'm assuming that default start up programs are not links in the ~/.kde/Autostart folder because when I run:
Code: ls -a ~/.kde/Autostart I only find the files that I have set to start up.
What command can I use to start a program in the terminal? What command is appropriate for applying patches to that or other programs? What command is appropriate to applying a 3.5 version patch to the 3.0 version of firefox. What are some useful commands for the terminal?
to the bottom of my .profile expecting a cow to tell me a fun quote whenever i pull up a terminal. It hasn't done anything, however. How do I achieve my desired effect?
How would one go about making an application start up on boot with terminal? I have a VPS that is ubuntu 8.04, and have command line access. I already compiled the application.
I am setting up a streaming audio server. I would like to have Darkice and sc_serv (Shoutcast server) start automagically on boot.
I have set Xubuntu (10.04) to auto login
Both Darkice and sc_serv are command line apps and I would like them to each run in their own terminal window so I can monitor any status messages they produce. For instance sc_serv displays connections disconnections with time connected, and current number of listeners, and I want to see that.
One important note: sc_serv must be up and running before Darkice can be started.
Although I have been using Ubuntu for a while, I am still a beginner.This is the second time that it has happened to me and I am unable to find a possible solution in my books on Linux and Ubuntu.Twice I have downloaded updates from Update Manager which required a reboot. Each time I have rebooted,terminal window has opened. I am unable to get out of terminal to the desktop or to enter any other program ( like office,etc). I know that the graphics are still in place as The Ubuntu 10.10 screen flashes on before the terminal black screen appears.(I am in runlevel 2 )A. How can I get out of terminal and onto desktop?
I can start a Terminal window from the Unity launcher (Ubuntu 11.04). But how do I get a second instance of a program in the launcher, whether Netbeans, Terminal windows, whatever? This article on Unity [URL] says you should click the middle mouse button.
I am relatively new to linux but i need to run a command in the terminal so i can prevent wireless power save from happening every time i switch to battery power. I dont really want to go into the terminal every time i switch to battery mode so i want to be able to launch this command upon start up:
I keep all of my web design work under /var/www/(application_name). Nine times out ten, when I open a terminal, I'm heading to the www folder - cd /var/www. I would love to make that my "home" folder for the terminal, so it would just open there - I know if I ctrl+shift+t to open a new tab it defaults to the same dir, but it would be nice to have the first opened terminal default to there. Is this possible, or is there a better way to go about this?
I was just wondering if this was possible without using guake or yakuake or the like: I have a shortcut (alt+shift+c) to open a gnome-terminal window. (done via compiz keyboard commands)However, what if I wanted it to fokus a gnome-terminal (specific?) if one(it) exists and only start a new terminal, if it isn't already running? I looked up and down the compiz settings, not seeing anything to help me focus a specific window.
I'm usingg Ubuntu 10.04. When i start gnome-terminal (from terminal or gui) at the first i see invite to enter sudo pass: Terminal window is opening and i see the string:

Yesterday i changed .bashrc file and some settings in User and Groups management.
One of the first things I do when starting Ubuntu (Netbook Edition) is to open a Terminal (ctrl-alt-T) with three tabs in it (ctrl-shift-T, ctrl-shift-T), one with irssi, one with ipython and one extra with just the commandline. Then I set the titles (F2) of the first two respectively to "irssi" and "ipython".Is there some way to write a script that automatically does all this? Or maybe save this configuration in a profile setting or something?
I want to start a program which starts from terminal window and needs sudo permission. How can I start it from Application menu without need of any permission?
Ques-1 what is the default bashrc and how i can set path java and tomcat?
Ques -2 When I start the terminal it showing the following line ? How i cat solve this?
Command 'lesspipe' is available in the following places
* /bin/lesspipe * /usr/bin/lesspipe
The command could not be located because '/usr/bin:/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. lesspipe: command not found Command 'dircolors' is available in '/usr/bin/dircolors' The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
I upgraded to 11.04. All went well, until I (stupidly) enable the desktop cube. And my launcher dissapeared. How do I get into terminal, and once there how do I dissable compiz? unity --reset?I tried CTRL-ALT-T and that doesn't workCTRL-ALT-F1 brings up a screen that aks me to log in but won't accept my login info.
I've recently upgraded a laptop of mine from 10.10 to 11.04 (Natty), and am having a few issues with it. I don't know how many of these are related to using Unity and how many are just due to the upgrade, but one of the main bugbears is keyboard shortcuts. I have always set the F12 key so that it opens a terminal window. I did this through the settings > Keyboard Shortcuts interface, but although I can (apparently) set this in Unity, it doesn't work. The setting is there, listed, but pressing F12 doesn't open a terminal. Neither does it if I set it to any other key.
I can create a new entry, to start xterm with F12, which works fine but this isn't quite the same as a terminal (it appears different on screen.) I also discover that CTRL+ALT+T doesn't open a terminal window either (as is suggested in a very useful list here: [URL] Have I missed something? Or am I being thick? (Quite possible ... )
I'm fairly new to Linux. I just installed Ubuntu recently. I've recently been having problems with the Ubuntu Software Center. It will not start up and I cannot start it from the Terminal. This is the message it gives me (with nothing left out):
