https://bbs.archlinux.org – Just installed Arch on 12-13-12. After installing base and base-devel I installed X, nvidia, and Gnome. The problem I'm experiencing is difficult to identify, but Im hoping some of you have seen this before. I am having issues with Gnome-terminal 3.6.0 sometimes incorrectly showing the location of the cursor. Sometimes the cursor is hidden, as if I'm typing behind an invisible veil, while at other times I can see the cursor but it doesnt show what I'm typing. Still other times the output will show up in the wrong place in the emulator window. I have no idea how to identify whats (HowTos)

Not able to boot 29 weeks 6 days ago

Hi,

I have a problem with one older computer. It is ASUS K52N. There is debian x64 installed with gnome graphical environment. After installing gimp 2.6 gnome is not able to start(after booting I can just see terminal and after typing startx there is just mouse cursor). I wanted to install another system but it does not boot any cd or dvd anymore. What can be the problem?

I would just like to set a custom cursor theme on my computer. I had this pack back on 10.10 from here. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=50663. But I can't seem to recall how I did it. I've tried just about everything. I've installed the Gnome Tweak Tool and tried to set it, now it works only a little bit here and there.

GNOME won't start properly 1 year 18 weeks ago

I installed mesa, drivers, X etc and Gnome ofc. I added "... dbus gdm..." into DAEMONS array and rebooted.

I'm on FC17 - a recently upgrade system. I'm having issues when typing in Firefox - as I'm typing, the cursor will just randomly jump to some other random place in the text. As I'm mostly typing in Firefox, I don't know if the problem is in Firefox or in another package.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

How can I make Vim change cursor in different modes so that these conditions are satisfied:

Without using gconftool or such tools.

But I can log in with that spinning cursor..but lot of other fucntionality missing.I am told at gentoo forums that I have more then one gnome installed in my system.I need to figure out how I can enlist them and get rid of them? Something is definately broken..but couldn't pinpoint what is actually causing it...due to my lack of brilliance and time. I know eselect ..that doesn't help either.I know

Sorry, I looked hard for anything related to this problem; I didn't want to open a new thread, but... I use an ancient text editor - Jove - that I maintain and update myself. It has worked fine on Fedora 6, 7 and 8 under gnome-terminal (known to the Jove editor as xterm).

Just installed Skype via terminal on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.1. After starting Skype, I noticed that the mouse cursor changes to black when I hover over Skype's app window. Is this normal?

Somehow I wonder if something went wrong while installing this. In terminal I observed a lot of i386 stuff being installed. And I wondered, because I run 64-bit.

as part of a script I have

gnome-terminal -e ""

Once executed this line, I have to write in the terminal 3 times the password of this user. I wonder how can I automate it, that is, without typing the password. Something as

echo "password" < 3 times> | gnome-terminal -e ""

Thanks.
