What are the differences between "su -" in a GUI terminal and directly logging in as root in a text mode terminal (tty1-tty6)? Any environment, path or other functionality differences?

i'm running 9.10. For no reaso whatsoever that I can fathom, ubuntu now boots directly to a terminal. I use startx to get to the desktop, but if i do that, after a short while, the screen will go black and then ubuntu will take me to the GUI log-in screen. I noticed that I'f I was using firefox I would have to go into system monitor to kill the process before I could restart the browser. I also noticed while doing this that most processes seem to be running twice.

Ok i start to find it boring to ALT+CTRL+F1 each time i want that when i boot it directly go to tty 1. But i also want it to load desktop environment, but not to show it, only load it, so if i ALT+CTRL+F7, it goes to desktop environment. If its not loaded, it will not go to desktop environment or it will take like 15 sec to load it, this is why i want to load it while i am in the terminal.Also, how can i switch resolution in terminal?

So I'm trying to get two fingered scrolling on my Ubuntu 10.10 netbook.

I restarted my computer, and now it comes up withUbuntu 10.10 [Computer name] tty1[Computer name] login:Not only has this not happened before, I have no idea what to put for my username and password.

I bought an imac G3 yesterday and it has xubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake installed on it. When i turn it on, after it POSTs, a little xubuntu logo appears it it begins to load 'essential drivers' and mount the file system, etc. After it is done doing that, it simply prompts me into a CLI that on the top says "Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS ubuntu tty1". It asks for my username and password, and then it just keeps me in this tty1 terminal. I did some research online and supposedly by pressing alt+F7 you can exit the tty terminals and go back into GUI mode. Well pressing alt+F7 does nothing, and pressing alt+F1 through 6 just sends me into the different tty terminals.
I am very new to Linux so if someone could give me an idiot proof explanation on either how to fix it or whether im screwed and just need to reinstall xubuntu on here.

I'm using squeeze. I wanted to know how you could determine from the command line in tty1 (or tty2 through tty6) what the resolution was that text was being displayed at. Is there a way? I know that in grub, you're supposed to be able to go to the command line and type vbeinfo. I tried this and got some information, but somehow I think it doesn't always apply to the terminal after the computer has booted up.

I've used Ubuntu for a couple of years now, and it is by far my favorite operating system. Although, I am now reluctantly switching to Windows 7, due to lack of support for the Apple Airport Extreme.
My CD drives are incapable of recognizing the DVD that I burned of Windows 7.
My only other option now seems to be to boot directly from the Windows 7 iso that I have.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10.

I installed Ubuntu on w7 using Wubi and I set in w7 that it on startup automatically boots Grub without asking. Now when I am in Grub and when I select Windows 7 (loader) it goes black and returns to Grub so I cant boot w7 at all.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a machine with a dodgey graphics card. This machine will break on normal graphics mode but run fine in failsafe graphics mode. I need this machine to be able to be controlled remotely and this is where the problem comes in.
If this machine is being controlled remotely, it may need to be rebooted remotely. Rebooting it into failsafe mode at the moment consists of two prompts: one to put it into failsafe, and the other to "keep it for one session". Does anyone know how to reconfigure Grub or whatever else so it will automatically go into Failsafe Graphics mode without any user interaction? (BTW, where it asked me to "keep for one session" or "reconfigure now", I clicked reconfigure and it didn't do anything. So I need to do it manually)

I need to call a .sh script without directly opening the terminal. Is possible to do so writing and compiling a script (e.g. Java or Python) so when I double click it, it opens a terminal window and runs the .sh automatically?

Finished installing Ubuntu 10.10 in my XPS15, intel i5 4g ram, nvidia GT 420M graphics card,
problem is when i go to additional drivers, the driver listed (Nvidia accelerated graphics) when I install it and reboot it the computer starts on the terminal, no graphic interface. All I get is the black screen asking me login and password, when I enter them, just get the terminal prompt in a black screen.

I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from a LiveCD in a computer I recently bought that currently has Windows XP on it. The Ubuntu menu comes up when I boot but it always snags on an error "failed to restore CRTC configuration -22" or something like that, and just goes on ad infinitum.
I tried running Linux Mint too and had the same problem, which makes me think it's an issue with the computer itself - which is an Averatec, if that helps.

so i've just installed Burg loader in a PC which dual-booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 with no problem using grub2 in the past. But after i installed burg it just boots up straight into the Windows OS and Ubuntu is nowhere to be found. Is there a way to restore grub2 preferably without having to lose any files?

have an OpenSuSE 11.4 (Linux 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop) with XBMC (10.1) installed.During installation of SuSE, I've created a user called "xbmc" and enabled autologin for this user. After XBMC have been installed I added the following to /home/xbmc/.xinitrc - "exec /usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone -fs"... so far so good - everything is perfectly fine..... or at least almost - when trying to play some musik I get the message "Failed to initialize audio device, Check your Audio Settings"... but if I close XBMC, log in to Gnome as root, open a terminal an su to user "xbmc" and start xbmc from commandline it works if I choose "Internal Analog Audio" in System -> System -> Audio Output. Now the spooky/funny parts appears... I check the options in Audio Output I see the following:
With Autologin:
Defaults
iec958
hdmi
HDA Intel Defaults
[code]...
When returning to auto-login - it stops working again... By the way - to be sure that it wasn't a rights-problem, I ended up changing the UID for the "xbmc"-user to "0" to ensure root-privilegies

I have a laptop fujitsu siemens amilo pi 1505 for about a year there was ubuntu 8.10 installed on it and everything worked fine. 3 days ago i upgraded it to 9.10 and there where the problems began. Sound crashed OS couldn't find sound card. I've removed alsa, pulse audio completly and sound came back. After about 5-15 min's icons dissappeared from the desktop and i had to restart. From then every time i start after booting i see that:
[URL]
and if i change kernel:
[URL]
though anything i do there in this window makes no difference whatsoever. So then can I somehow restore graphic settings from the terminal? Or repair/restore basic settings of ubuntu without loosing data?

If I want to know the installed kernels I write in terminal rpm -q kernel, but the result is:
[Majara@Aitaenxp ~]$ rpm -q kernel
el paquete kernel no est - instalado (kernel package is not installed)
If I write
[Majara@Aitaenxp ~]$ rpm -qa kernel
[Majara@Aitaenxp ~]$
there is no result
I can see the kernels so:
[Majara@Aitaenxp ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
abrt-addon-kerneloops-1.1.18-1.fc14.i686
kernel-PAE-2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686
kernel-PAE-2.6.35.12-90.fc14.i686
Is the terminal spoiled? How can I restore it?

I tried a kde live cd last week and quite liked the unbranded look on booting. I am using 11.4 m1 kde 4.5 and am trying to replicate the look. As I have automatic logon set to 'yes' there are three stages. Have changed the boot option menu graphic OK and workspace upstream but am struggling with the middle part. This still shows the suse green. which file I need to change?

I have been working on this script for my install for quite awhile and almost everything is done (installs, uninstalls, setting up wireless, etc...) but now I want to get to the....prettier stuff.
Two questions:
1. How do I add GDM themes to the list from terminal? Right now I go through the login window GUI but it'd be nice to add them without having to do it through that (so I can automate it )
2. How do I then change the setup to where I can have multiple that it chooses from and that it chooses from those I've added (again, I do this through the GUI but...you get the point)

Is there a way to change the color of the blinking cursor without changing the color of the text?
Or, if this cannot be done in gnome-terminal, is it possible in another terminal (yakuake, etc) ?

I just installed the only Nvidia driver available in the software center for Ubuntu. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I don't know which Nvidia driver I installed, but the screen resolution the Nvidia driver tried to set fails at login, so now I'm stuck booting my computer into the terminal. . I used sudo apt-get install xerver-xorg in attempt to restore the screen; however, the xerver-xorg package cannot be found. How do I restore xerver without reinstalling Ubuntu? How do I restore my original driver?

To flesh out my *nix capability, I create new identities and give them the functionality that I liked in previous ones. I've added the "open terminal here" script, which I find invaluable. Now I want to change the prompt. This is what the terminal does right now:
ITo run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
elliot@dan:/media/KINGSTON$
- Where do I go to shorten the prompt dramatically? I can't really think of a situation where a shorter prompt isn't better or color matters.
- How do I adios the 2 sentences that want to appear every time I open this terminal? I'm aware what sudo does.
- Instead, I would like the equivalent of a pwd command. Where would I put that?
- How do I get the output of this terminal to be simultaneously saved in a file. I do so much copying and pasting out of these terminals that I'm looking for easier ways to do it.
