xterm with bash showing ^C

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi folks, I just upgraded from FC 8 to FC 12 and it was pretty smooth sailing all along, I kept my old home directory and even then it was all good. The only noticeable change is that in an xterm if I hit Ctrl-C the actual characters ^C are printed into the xterm. Before this did not happen and I'd like to have the old behaviour back when ^C doesn't get printed. I'm not sure if it's a bash or xterm issue though. ---------- Post added at 07:06 AM CST ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM CST ---------- This gets rid of ^C in a terminal: stty -echoctl and to make it permanent, put it into your .bashrc.

I'm having an interesting issue with XFCE Terminal/Gnome Terminal (not reproducible in XTerm), where executing bash or logging in using login or su will open a new Bash instance inside a Bash instance as shown:

_randall@manbearpig:/home/randall[root@manbearpig randall]#

Ctrl+D and exit both exit back to the original bash instance.

Hey all,I've been trying out and reading up on different terminals lately, and have been gradually tweaking my .Xresources along the way.I spent some time working in urxvt, and getting unicode and font support working there was pretty straight-forward.

Recently I was very frustrated with xterm not behaving as expected.

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

In my bash script, i am trying to run a process in another terminal window using following :

xterm -e /home/mohit/a.out

Now I want to redirect the output using tee command as follows

xterm -e /home/mohit/a.out 2>&1 | tee logfile

But I am not getting anything in logfile. Any clues, why is this happening ?

xterm not displaying colors 17 weeks 6 hours ago

I'm using xterm windows within a VNC session, and they are not displaying colors at all. The main thing I need colors for is syntax highlighting in vim, but ls highlighting is useful also.

The default "$TERM" is "xterm".

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.
