http://askubuntu.com – VT100 terminals have a relatively simple way to save terminal contents with escape codes to a file using Meta-p: XTerm.VT100.printAttributes: 2 XTerm.VT100.printerCommand: cat - > file XTerm.VT100.translations: #override Meta <KeyPress> P: print() \n I've looked around quite a bit, and can't find a solution for this to work in the default GNOME Terminal + XTerm + Bash. I do not want just an image with the contents of the window. It looks like GNOME Terminal might eventually get a fix for this, but there's no information about which version it will be included in, and it's been al (HowTos)

The default font in gnome-terminal in f17 is really great, I'd like to use it in xterm as well. But how do I find out what font it is? Once I know that I can put it in $HOME/.Xdefaults as XTerm*faceName.

Something related: how do I find out the possible choices for XTerm*faceName?

Detect terminal type with tput 1 year 18 weeks ago

I would like to configure the terminal type by detecting it. For example when I am connecting to a Solaris box with PuTTY, the $TERM variable is set to vt100. I would like to negotiate this and when the terminal emulator is PuTTY to set $TERM to xterm.

I've noticed that at ^E PuTTY answers back with PuTTY.

I have a command that execute well in the normal terminal on Linux:

xterm -e bash -c "some commands"

I want to execute the above command using c program execXX system calls. I try to use the following codes but it gives me a normal xterm window.

Hi!

I'm not new to Linux or Unix, but I'm new to Ubuntu 12.04.

I want a button in the launcher or panel or something such that when I click on it, an xterm appears.

I have a button that launches an xterm, but it only works once. Obviously rubbish--the xterm is a versatile tool, and it's absurd to assume that I'd only want one.

I am trying to setup my workstation in such a way that tmux is run for each terminal (xterm, gnome-terminal, ...) that is launched.
