Ubuntu :: 9.10 - Strange Message When Using Gnome Terminal

See "man sudo_root" for details.
Software :: Terminal And Konsole Windows Show Strange Characters
Oct 1, 2009When I open a terminal or konsole window, output (either STDOUT or STDERR) sometimes contains funny characters instead of something meaningful. Can someone explain how I might correct this situation?
ANALYSIS:
One very repeatable example involves using the manual page command
Code:
man set... man page output ...upstart - event-based init daemon
In my copy of the output, there are several problems in the very first screen. In the synopsis section, there is "{ value | ?value? ..." Replace the '?' with a lower-case-a-under-a-carat character (a-hat).
I suspect the garble character might be apostrophe in real life.
In other places, I see var?/able or how?/ever or trans?/action where the '?' is again a-hat and the '/' represents end of line or newline. I suspect the garble character might be a hyphen in real life.
All of this suggests that there is a conflict between the character stream written to STDOUT by the man command and the character-display settings (is that "code page" or similar?) of the specific terminal or konsole in use.
In specific, I use konsole v1.6.6 from KDE v3.5.10. In general, I'm running Ubuntu Hardy (v8.04.3 LTS).

Ubuntu :: Is Command Line Invocation Of Gnome-terminal To Run More Than One Command
Feb 17, 2010how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

Jan 8, 2010I know how to make things run at startup, and obviously know how to run a command in terminal (type and enter... duhhhh). However I would like to be able to run vnstat in terminal when my computer logs in, this is very handy for seeing how much I have downloaded. I have a terminal embedded on the desktop and would very much like to run vnstat in it for me when it starts, I know I could just type in vnstat when I've logged on, but where is the fun in that? Just having it already there for me would be far better.
The command for starting my desktop terminal is as follows:
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=trans --geometry 90x40+280+30

Ubuntu :: Run A Terminal Command At Startup?
Nov 9, 2010I've searched everywhere, but they all talk about BOOTING into the terminal instead of ubuntu. But here all I want is for ubuntu to automatically run a certain command when I boot into ubuntu.This is related to the screen brightness change problem that's still much of an unsolved mystery for ubuntu and I have mostly solved this 'm able to change the brightness with sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=xx, xx being from 00 to FF, but it doesnt seem to stay when I log out and log back in. Is there any possible way to put a terminal command in the startup applications or something or a possible solution to the brightness problem that I havent discovered yet?

Nov 27, 2010In Xubuntu 9.04 I could right click in any directory folder and have the option of opening a terminal window "there". So the terminal command line would open preloaded to that directory. I know, I'm lazy, but it sure made life (and command line work) easier. But it's not available in my new install of Ubuntu 10.04. Now, I know that my gui environment has changed from xfce to gnome, but I would have expected MORE features, not less.

Ubuntu :: Run A DOS-like Command Line In Terminal
May 1, 2011I'm a relatively recent Linux convert and I'm studying computer science. I've been taking some time in getting myself familiar with the Terminal and the Linux command line and can now use the Terminal confidently, albeit with a little help from Google every now and then. I know that when I graduate and start working I will mainly be using Windows computers and thus I would like to be able to use the Windows Command Prompt confidently as well.
Is there any way to run something in the terminal that mimics DOS behavior? If not, is there a possibility for me to personally configure an "alternate" terminal which only allows those linux commands that are equivalent to DOS commands, without removing any functionality of the "original" terminal?

Ubuntu :: Automatically Execute Terminal Command?
May 13, 2010I googled around and couldnt find what I was looking for. Maybe I used the wrong search terms, but whatever. I was wondering if there was a possibility to execute a series of terminal commands just by double-clicking an icon. For example, there would be an icon on my desktop, and if I were to doubleclick it, it would execute "cd ~/.wine2" and then "WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine2" wine program.exe".
I realise that most of you will probably go "duh, that's simple" or something similar, but I am extremely new to ubuntu, and dont know my way around yet.
