http://forums.opensuse.org – Hello, I'm wondering how SuSE goes about setting that slick background image in the console? For the record, I'm not talking about a console inside X, I mean when you log in at the command line: Thanks, Monte (Distributions)

Stories similar to Console background images

Linux Console is not all about a black background with huge white, grey or green fonts. While working solely on console for a week I learned a lot about console based softwares. Remember the console based IM, Finch.

Another day, another command line/Console based application. Just to refresh your memory, last time we told you about a Linux framebuffer Image viewer, Fbi, that lets you view images without a X server.

feh is an X11 image viewer aimed mostly at console users. Unlike most other viewers, it does not have a fancy GUI, but simply displays images.

Console Login and Telnet 41 weeks 8 hours ago

Hopefully my question makes sense, but I was wondering if the telnet service has anything to do with console logins or if they are completely unrelated. So for example, does the /etc/default/login file in UNIX have anything to do with Telnet?

hi guys,

I don't know why I run this command:

echo a>/dev/console

I want to install a minimal openSUSE system on a couple of spare computers, but I'd really like the high res console that you get in the desktop installations of openSUSE with the background. I don't absolutely need it, but it's the one thing that makes me choose openSUSE over other distro's and I don't want to give it up without a fight.

I am working on a Photo-booth installation, and i want to take 4 photos (this i have figured out), and then combine them so they are on a a4 paper sheet ready to be printed.

I need to do this through the console, so I can automate the whole process. I have looked at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php, but I can only figure out how to overlay the images.

So, the linux "top" command has the real time-like loop with console output (nothing fancy), but it uses non-blocking console input which doesn't display typed character in the command line. How it's done? Is there any library for it, do they use threads?

Okay, so I have followed http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/modules/zend.console.routes.html for setting up a new console route.

'console' => array( 'router' => array( 'routes' => array( 'route-mail' => array( 'options' => array( 'route' => '-m', 'defaults' => array(
