similar to: R and xterm

I have the following gnome terminal profile settings: Backspace = ASCII DEL Delete Key = Escape Sequence If the logged in session in the terminal window is my own user id then the delete key does nothing. If however, I su -l in the same terminal window then the delete key removes the character under the cursor and left shifts the rest of the line. I am fairly confident that the delete

Maybe it was always sending Delete and I didn't notice it, but I have had the following in my .tcshrc file for ages (without realizing it): bindkey -b ^? i-search-back Before the update to 4.4, hitting the backspace key at the shell prompt deleted the previous character. Now it activates the search backwards function as instructed to do so by the bindkey directive. The

Noted that xterm by default uses 24 lines per window. I have reviewed /etc/termcap looking for a specific entry for xterm that I can edit to change the ln#24 to ln#25 for our application. When I used RedHat there was an editable option to change the number of displayable lines as is done in putty. Any suggestions? --Hal. -- Hal Davison Observe Goal, Set the course, Burn the map

I am trying to get my xterm window under gnome to open with large fonts, with light green foreground and dark green background. I have the following .Xdefaults file contents: $ cat .Xdefaults ! This is a comment ;-) #ifdef COLOR *customization: -color #endif !! Let's cast a wide net, for any app supporting these ! Blink instead of beeping *visualBell: True *scrollTtyOutput: False

I setup a ssh chroot jail following this[1] guide. It works for my user to login, use ls and use scp which is all I really want. I do have a problem I cannot solve: when connected and navigating the filesystem, the backspace key actually moves the cursor forward and does not delete what I type. I may have found a hint from some googling that readline will read in /etc/inputrc on login but if

Just installed Rcmdr on a Linux box. When I exit from both Rcmdr and R together from the regular Rcmdr exit menu, it leaves my xterm with "stty -echo", so that nothing that is typed appears. If I exit only Rcmdr, and then exit R normally, everything is okay (stty echo). Other than that minor irritant, everything seems to work just fine. Linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r3 Athlon 64 X2 3800+ R

With local com ports I can use stty to inspect the port settings. Is there a similiar method with a socket connection? I have an odd situation happening where my data collection program that is working on 3 machines is not working on the 4th. The program opens a socket to remote RS232 device no data is recieved. strangely though if I "telnet IP port" to the device it will send the

I am using sftp which comes with OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 I noticed backspace is not working. Couild someone tell me if this is fixed in a newer package please? Also, would it be possible for sftp --version to be implemented? also sftp --V. Likewise ssh --version is not implemented either. None of the flags are listed when i type ssh --help, or sftp --help

Hi All, I upgraded to OS X 10.7 on my laptop and when I try to ssh into my servers and do edits it seems my backspace is now weird. When I backspace it skips all around, inserts what looks to be special characters, etc. If I save and go back in the file edited right, but due to all the inserted garbage and skipping around of the cursor I cant tell at that time if what I did worked. I dont recall

(Please keep me CC'd as I'm not subscribed to the list) I'd like to request that folks running RELENG_8 (and RELENG_9, though I do not use it) please check the behaviour of their terminal after each of following commands are run (check terminal after each command): top -a (press "q" after 1 screen refresh) top -b If you find that your input characters in your shell

Hi folks [Please CC me, I am not on the list] I am here at a customer who have this in profile (.cshrc): stty erase "^H" kill "^?" intr "^C" Backspace clears the hole command line. How is the CentOS default? kind regards Sven

Hi list I?m in the process of switching from a RedHat EL 4 to CentOS 5, and run into some problems I?m trying to open a X session to my Centos box, and got an error message stating that /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm is not found. Surprisingly, /usr/X11R6/bin is almost empty, as compared to my RedHat box., and I am 100% sure I have selected X during the installation Linking /bin/xterm to

when i exit more, vi, ... i like to have the window restored to the way it was before i entered more, vi, ... i used to effect this by a hack to the termcap data, but have lost the hack. what am i missing here? randy

Sometimes when I use openssh (latest) and do find . or ls -lR /dev or similiar, my xterm 'freezes up', there is no way to fix it but to kill the xterm usually. This NEVER occurs in telnet. The error is completely reproducable when you come across it. ie: one may just be browsing the filesystem and when you come across this problem, you can launch another xterm and the EXACT same thing

Hi. Running CentOS 5 with the default GNOME desktop. Is it possible to configure xterm windows not to have title bars to get the most out of the available screenspace? I've tried to look this up but mostly find reference how to change the content of the title bar; I want to remove it completely. Found a reference to Compiz but the version available through CentOS seems old (0.0.13 compared

I've been scratching my head over this one after setting up VNC on another existing server. Followed the instructions here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server as usual. It worked initially. However since this server is going to be installed in a rather inconvenient place and having done pretty stupid things before, I decided for the first time to try the portion that says # Add the

I have a situation where gnome console does not handle vt102 escape sequences properly and therefor need to employ xterm instead. When I run xterm from a gnome terminal window I am presented with an extremely small terminal window employing an almost unreadably small font. I have attempted to set the font size using xrdb and a custom .Xresources file. I can change the colour scheme. I can

Hi everyone, I am trying to set up a file server on Linux for Windows XP boxes in a Windows Server 2003 environment. I followed an excellent tutorial on Samba and ADS, which I recommend to all newbies like myself: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3487081. Kerberos authentication seems to succeed, and apparently there is nothing wrong with my smb.conf file, yet when
