2009/7/4-9 [Academia/Berkeley/CSUA, Computer/SW/Security] UID:53109 Activity:nil | 7/4 I'm accessing soda by typing ssh -X jhcooper@csua.berkeley.edu
at a Linux prompt. At the soda prompt, I can type "xmessage hello &",
and I get a nice little greeting from myself popping up on my display.
But if I type xterm &, the process runs ok, but nothing appears on
my screen. What am I doing wrong?
\_ Works just fine for me... try turning on SSH debug with -v ?

2009/5/21-29 [Computer/SW/Unix/WindowManager] UID:53028 Activity:nil | 5/21 I would like to implement an auto-logout feature for my gnome users
who happen to not log themselves out, thus causing me, and especially
my supervisor, pain. Please advise, cohorts. I would like the
entire gnome session signed out, not just an individual xterm,
so "export TMOUT=[SECONDS]" in a .bashrc will not work.

2009/2/20-25 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:52610 Activity:nil | 2/20 I'm using Cygwin/X on XP. All the X indows (xterm, emacs)
seem to have a keyboard repeat rate and a repeat delay that's different
than the one XP uses for other Windows apps. When I do "mode con
rate=xx delay=yy", it only changes Windows apps but not the X apps.
How do I change the keyboard repeat rate and delay for X? Thanks.
\_ man xset

2007/8/10-13 [Computer/SW/OS/Linux] UID:47575 Activity:nil | 8/9 My man pages are displaying incorrectly with \fBupdate\fR
instead of displaying update in bold or whatever. Any ideas why?
It happens on soda as well as other debian boxes I have.
It happend using Terminal and xterm on my MacBook.
\_ export TERM=vt100
\_ I tried that. it doesn't make a difference.

2006/8/24-28 [Computer/SW/Editors/Vi, Computer/SW/Unix/WindowManager] UID:44146 Activity:nil | 8/24 When I use "screen", the scrollback bars on my xterm and gnome-term
don't work anymore. Is it possible to make them work under screen?
\_ They'll sort of work, but not really. I mean you may have more than
one window. Just use screen's builtin scrollback; it's better
anyway (you can have one per window, tens of thousands of lines and
best of all it's searchable) Just hit ^A-Escape then pretty much

2006/1/16-18 [Computer/SW/Unix/WindowManager, Computer/SW/Unix] UID:41385 Activity:nil | 1/16 Since X11 forwarding is gone ; my emacs key definitions no longer
work. I was wondering if anyone could point me to a setup that would
at least define basic functionality for emacs inside an x-term. Thanks
\_ Maybe you could mail root and ask them to turn X11 Forwarding
back on.
\_ Or maybe not.

2006/1/3-5 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:41211 Activity:moderate | 1/3 what's the best terminal program (I just want to ssh from my laptop
to soda) for macosx?
\_ don't like terminal?
\_ What's wrong with /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app?
\_ iTerm looks/works well for me. -scottyg
\_ second.

2005/12/20-22 [Computer/SW/Unix, Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:41097 Activity:nil | 12/20 I'm trying to determine the cause of an curious behavior: When
I login to a Linux box from my Mac (rxvt in X11), there is
some lag on the text output during the printing of multiple
lines of output. When I login to a FreeBSD box from my Mac,
there is no lag. Curiously, when I login to either the FreeBSD
box or the Linux box from my Linux laptop, there is no lag

2005/12/7-9 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:40898 Activity:low | 12/7 After I start a background job from tcsh in an xterm, I try to exit
the shell. But it stays around until the background job exits. Is
there a way to tell the shell not to wait for the background job to
finish? Thx.
\_ Yes.
\_ How?

2005/11/21-23 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:40679 Activity:moderate | 11/21 I've noticed that the OS X Terminal.app and xterm etc are all
slower than xterm / rxvt on Linux/x86. Even a 500 MHz P2 has
quicker response than a 1.33 Ghz G4 when you are logged
into a server via SSH. I'm wondering what could be the cause
of this lag. Is it something that can be adjusted? I find the
sluggishness the only think holding me back from using a Mac

2005/11/20-22 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:40665 Activity:high | 11/20 Is there an easy way to map the left "alt" key to "meta" key in
Mac OS X Tiger, X11 (in full-screen mode).
\_ Try: defaults write com.apple.x11 swap_alt_meta -bool true
\_ Sweet . That did it! Here's another question:
Is there a similarily elegant way to have Command N
launch a new rxvt window instead of an xterm?
