Free Linux Terminal emulator

Hi friends,
As you know, some oracle DB components need be installed under GUI interface.
Please advise which is a free best linux client Terminal emulator that can be easy configured a linux GUI interface for DBA?
I do not think putty is a good linux GUI interface tool.
Thanks

A terminal emulator and X Window GUI are different things. You can have a terminal emulator in a graphical desktop environment, but you cannot display GUI in a terminal.
Putty is just a SSH client and terminal emulator (VT) and can be used with X-forwarding to display remote GUI applications (Linux), provided you are have a X Window server installed and running on your local computer, e.g. Xming Server for Windows.
Perhaps you will find the free version of http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ useful. It is a single application based on Cygwin that allows you run GUI applications from your remote Linux system.
By far the best terminal emulator in terms of user interface and configuration options that I’m aware of is the Terminal App of MacOSX, which also automatically opens Xorg if you open a GUI application. And it provides the full set of terminal escape sequences. But if you are on Windows….
Alternatively, use VNC. You can run VNC in several modes, either to open an existing remote desktop connection, start a new desktop connection, or run a minimal X windows server, such as TWM that does not require you to install or run a graphical user desktop on your remote Linux server. If you are interested in VNC, perhaps check the following: https://community.oracle.com/thread/2456580. You can also tunnel VNC through SSH if your network firewall prevents communication.

[SOLVED] Terminal emulator that allows free resizing?

EDIT: Answered my own question; terminator allows per-pixel resizing if you disable window hinting in the preferences.
I have an annoyance with resizing terminal emulators. I use stacking WMs (xfwm4 on one setup, compiz standalone on another) but I usually like to tile my windows manually. I've enabled edge snapping in both of these WMs. However, whenever I'm resizing a terminal window, the snapping doesn't work because the terminal window can't be freely resized - I can only change the size of the window by one character's height/width. For example, if a terminal is open at 80x36, and I want to make it just a little bit wider to snap against the edge of another window, I can't because it won't let me resize the window between 80 and 81 characters.
I've tried xfce's terminal, gnome-terminal, lxterminal, xterm, urxvt, and st. Can someone direct me to a terminal emulator that will let me resize windows to whatever size I want, regardless of whether it is a discrete character size, or am I out of luck?
P.S. I've noticed that if I resize a window with wmctrl and issue the resize command twice, then xfce's terminal behaves the way it should. Can I replicate this behavior for resizing with the mouse?

Terminal emulator advice?

Coming from linux, I would use minicom to connect to hardware devices via usb->serial->device. What app is recommended for this on a Mac? I did try to install mini-com, but even after the xcode install, still failing the compile so I figure there is a better app to do just that.
Thanks

...just amazing there is no basic free emulator.
Macs have not had serial ports for about 10 years. If you needed to connect a serial device, you needed a 3rd party adaptor (and one would assume the adaptor manufacture would provide the needed software to use their device).
Mac OS X does provide a Terminal emulator, but it just emulates a terminal. It does not have code that talks to a serial port.
I guess you could just use various shell scripting tools to talk to the /dev/???? device. I remember back in my Tru64 UNIX days, there was a utility called 'tip' that was used when you wanted to talk to a serial port. I did not find 'tip' on the Mac, nor as part of MacPorts.org.
A Google search for "Mac OS X serial port utility" turned up:
<http://mac.rbytes.net/cat/mac/utilities/osx-serial-port-tool/>
<http://homepage.mac.com/chen/w7ay/Serial%20Tools/index.html>
There may be others.
You could also wonder over to VersionTracker.com and MacUpdates.com, which keep track of Mac OS X software.

Terminal Emulation/TN5250 on a Blackberry

All -
I am looking for some software to do terminal emulation on the Blackberry. I used to use MobileSSH from Rove, but now that they have incorporated it into Mobile Admin, I can no longer purchase just MobileSSH and the cost has also rised about 3x-4x to $595 and I can't get justification for that amount of money.
I am wanting to connect to an AS/400 through MDS via TN5250 emulation. I will need function key access, special character input ability, and field exit key capability. Any suggestions anyone? Please let me know!!
Thanks,

Xmonad - Can't start any terminal emulator (xterm,urxvt,etc)

Hi,
I've recently installed Arch Linux in Virtualbox-OSE and also installed xmonad. It took me a while to get it running. It is all working fine and I can start all kinds of applications with MOD+Shift+P, but the only thing I can't do is start a terminal emulator such as xterm or urxvt. Neither with MOD+Shift+P and MOD+Shift+Return. When I do this I see a window flashing and I think it is the program I am trying to start but it is closing right after the startup.
Does anybody recognize this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Webfp

Intall X3270 Terminal emulator on Solaris 10 x86

Hi! I'm trying to install IBM 3270 Terminal Emulator from source code on solaris 10 x86. I had some problems when I run ./configure but was PATH's configuration. Now I'm trying to run make but at certain moment the folowing erro return:
makeconv -d . -p icudt3l ibm-837_P100-2000.ucm
sh: makeconv: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `icudt3l_ibm-837_P100-2000.cnv'
I tried to find this 'makeconv' but I haven't found. Does anybody have some esperience with the instalation of X3270? Thank's a lot.

problem 1 is that it's looking for ../../s0.. Which I
managed to
fake out by creating the dir in the same mount
point.
Problem 2 is that it can't find .tmp_proto, which I
must
concur with. I can't find that on any of the b72 cd
images.
So, the setup_install_server fails.This seems to be the problem when you try to setup an install
server on a Solaris SPARC system for Solaris x86 clients, using
the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10/Express CD media.
There's a Solaris x86 UFS filesystem on slice 0 on the CD media,
and it's supposed to be mounted on the "s0" mount point,
otherwise setup_install_server won't work. On a Solaris x86 box,
vold mounts it automatically for you: /cdrom/cdrom0/s2 is the
mount point for the platform independant ISO9660 part of the CD
media, /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 is the UFS root filesystem.
Problem is that Solaris SPARC:
- does not understand Solaris x86 disk labels
- does not allow mounting x86 UFS filesystems
(and vice versa).
AFAIK, Solaris 9 DVD media does not have this problem. I
guess the same will be true when Solaris 10 DVD media is
available in a few months. On the DVD media there's enough
free space to include an extra copy of the files in the ISO9660
filesystem.

SCO-ANSI Terminal Emulator

Does any one know of a Terminal Emulator that will run in Arch and emulate an SCO-ANSI terminal.
Our office wants to migrate to 100% Linux from Windows but we are having trouble finding an emulator that works for our needs. Unfortunately our server is an old SCO unit and the new full graphic interface won't be ready for a year or more so we can't upgrade the system until then. We currently use AniTa on the Windows machines but they don't make a Linux version.
Any ideas?

I don't suppose you've found an alternative to AniTa? I don't mean to ressurect a dead thread but there might be some very valuable information here...

3270 Terminal Emulation

I am rearchitecting a group of about 20 screen-scraping automated processes with a J2EE-based framework. We are currently using an Attachmate Java product for the terminal emulation API. However, we have discovered that this particular product was designed for single-user deployment, and does not work reliably in our JBoss/Linux server environment.
Therefore we are looking for a J2EE-compliant API that will replace the current Attachmate product. We also need it to work on our Windows 2000-based developer workstations. Does anyone know of a product that will meet these requirements?
Here is a list of the basic terminal emulation API we are using currently:
     connect()
     disconnect()
     isConnected()
     waitHostQuiet()
     sendKeys()
     setCursor()
     getCursorRow()
     getCursorColumn()
     getString()
     putString()
     waitForString()
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I'm taking a look at Hummingbird as well as some other products.
There are several products (Hummingbird being one of them) that provide their own proprietary scripting language with their emulator, but I don't want to go that route since we have some very complex screens and a significant investment in Java code that processes these screens. I doubt that a scripting language would have the horsepower to handle the complex screens. Plus I want to throw away as little as possible when switching to other emulator products.
I have seen several servlet-based web-to-host products out there, but what I need is a Java API that I can use to do screen-scraping directly against the terminal session. Or I could possibly go against the servlet in one of these products, but that seems like a very circuitous route to a solution.

Is there a terminal emulator with up- down output?

The idea just hit me but it's very hard to find something in search or on google (up and down are popular keywords...).
Here's my idea: the terminal I use (urxvt) and every other I heard of always outputs text sort of 'upwards'. Meaning: the prompt line is mostly on the bottom (and if you use a tiling wm like me it's mostly on the bottom of the screen), well except for new terminal windows of course.
I thought it would be cool if it could be on the top of the screen and the lines would be output towards the bottom of the window. Get it? If you would take a normal terminal window and reverse the lines order, this would be exactly what I need.
Quick example:
A normal terminal
[user@desktop]: ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 5 user user 4096 Jan 17 12:53 dir1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 30 Dec 23 17:14 a-link
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Feb 10 13:26 dir2
[user@desktop]: _
What I would like
[user@desktop]: _
drwxr-xr-x 5 user user 4096 Jan 17 12:53 dir1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 30 Dec 23 17:14 a-link
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Feb 10 13:26 dir2
[user@desktop]: ls -l
Get it? Top -> down! So the prompt always gravitates toward the top of the window (provided enough output of course)
So anyway, back to the question: is there a terminal emulator that can do it?

But no, as far as I know there's no such things.
Any if you think it a little further, it's a trouble some idea. You may not notice with a simple "ls" command but with something more complex trouble will pop up every where.
How about you try and think how exactly will you implemented this idea.
Could be fun (Tried it).
Heh yea, i just did the same and came to the same conclusions.

How to Print to Linux Terminal

Would anyone happen to know how to create a VI that prints to Linux Terminal. I wish to make a test VI that verifies the RTE is working on a Linux Server and no more dependencies/Libraries are necessary. Going to be pretty simple. Just a VI that, when ran, will write "Hello World" to terminal then close. All of that is pretty easy of course. I just don't know how to print to Terminal.
Remember, code does exactly what you tell it.

I don't have a linux system to test on, but it seems like you could modify this comunity code sample to do what you're looking to do. Have a look: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-40941

Which free linux can I use on a Dell Power Edge Server 2650

Dear all,
I have recently joined the subscription program and want to install Netweaver. From my old company I could purchase a couple of Dell Power Edge Servers 2650 with 6GB RAM, Dual Core etc - so plenty of hardware. As next step I want to install a linux OS to be able to to install SAP trial version and/or the Netweaver software from the subscription program.
In the compatibility section I have read that I need either SUSE or RedHat linux enterprise edition. But these enterprise editions cost money when purchasing it. Is there also a free linux edition that I could use? If not, which enterprise linux would be the cheapest that I could use?
Thanks and best regards
Daniel Blaschkowski

Hi Daniel,
you can download a copy of the installation DVD of SUSE Enterprise Server 10SP2 for free from the Novell's Web Site. You won't have support nor will you be able to get software updates but it will allow you to get a first feeling about Netweaver on Linux.
Another option is to use [Centos |www.centos.org] that is a clone of Redhat Enterprise Server. You will have to cheat a little bit to be able to install SAP on it (you have to make your Centos appear like it is a true Redhat) but it works without a hitch.
Of course, do not run any production instances on such setups as you will get into trouble with SAP support in case you open up a problem message related to these platforms
Have fun,
Seb

here is the code i'm trying
try{
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sudo shutdown -h now");
        }catch ( Exception e){
            System.out.println("Exception in shuttin down machine");
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Can't shutdown. Shit!");
        }I've used this commend to use the command line in windows, but not sure how to change it over for linux.
Thanks

I had a similar problem recently where I need to send multiple commands after the initial Runtime.exec(). My solution involved a PrintWriter...
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sudo shutdown -h now");
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(p.getOutputStream());
pw.println("yourpassword");
pw.flush();
pw.close();As far as this...
"sudo (and ssh etc.) won't take password from the stdin, if it is not a terminal. "
... Im not really sure. The method above did work for me, but if sudo doesn't check stdin, Im not sure how my solution works
A couple other things you might consider. When you use Runtime.exec(), you are passing the system a command, you are not sending a string to a command line. For example, trying to run ...
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls /usr/bin");
... will do nothing since "ls" does not start a new process, but is more of a routine. Likewise, you may or may not have problems using the shutdown command. If you do have problems, you may need to start a terminal with Runtime.exec(), and then send the shutdown command through the terminals stdin using the PrintWriter method.
And on a second note, you may also need to reorganize your code to this...
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sudo", "shutdown", "-h", "now");
Runtime.exec() will take your string and pass it as a command, it is not meant to directly pass arguments. It may work fine as you have it, but if you run into problems, pass your commands in as a String[] (as shown right above)
Hope that helps

Using SecureCRT or other terminal emulator application for Telnet of LMS

Hi Everyone,
How to I set SecureCRT/Hyperterm or other terminal emulator as the one that will be use to telnet a device from Device Center or Topology Services?
Many thanks.

For Device Center, it depends on which browser you use. If it's Mozilla/Firefox, it can be as simple as modifying the Helper application in the Preferences. Or if it's IE 7 or 8, you could modify the registry setting for the telnet:// protocol (see this post https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/670709), or alternatively replace the Windows telnet.exe binary with a shortcut to SecureCRT if you don't mind using the latter all the time.
For Topo Service in Campus Manager, you need to create a campusmgr.properties file as described in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_campus_manager/5.0/user/guide/cmugfull.pdf, and keep in mind of http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsa80409 that afflicts CM 4.0 and Windows 2003 and Windows XP clients.

Multimedia key issue in a terminal emulator

My keyboard has a few multimedia keys(XF86AudioRaiseVolume, etc.) and
they have been correctly recognized by X and have keycodes/keysyms. I
can get them work on most programs, but they are not recognized by
programs run inside a terminal emulator(urxvt or xterm, for example).
Specifically, I want to control my emms playlist via
XF86AudioPrev/XF86AudioNext. I have the key bindings in emacs start up
file and it actually works when emacs appears as a standalone X
window. But it fails when emacs is inside a terminal. it appears to
me that the terminal/shell never delivers these key strokes to any
processes spawned by them.
I searched for the keysym/keymap resources in urxvt/xterm but can't
quite catch the idea and don't even know if this helps.

Response marked with
line 1 16
modem InOut
it says that, "line 2 does not support modem control"
- can you please try only one line at a time, that is:
line 1
modem inout
then try line 2 and so on and see if we see errors for specific lines only (which we can investigate further)
Then I typed:
(config)#line 0 17
(config-line)#modem InOut
it says, "line 0 does not support modem control. Now it doesn't talk about line 2, instead it says that line 0 does not support modem control.
This error is ok since line 0 is console and does not support modem control, mind you IOS spills out errors one after another so probably would have given error for line 2 next.
In here, the main problem is that, when I type:
(config)#line 1 16
(config-line)#no exec
and when I telnet, the router doesn't even prompt for anything. But when I again say, "exec" in line mode, then the router prompts me for the username.
Do you mean reverse telnet out of these lines? Not sure I understand what you are trying to do here.
A few things to check:
1. Is the router completely up, means its not in boot mode etc.
2. Are the IOS images different or same on the working vs non working 2511?
Thanks, Mak

Linux Terminal Server Project package

I have packaged the binary scripts that the Linux Terminal Server Project puts out. I am starting to play around with the stuff...
8)
Maybe I can work some documentation out of it, as well as a couple of packages maybe...
Got a question though, since the LTSP-utils scripts basically install stuff for you (haven't tried it yet..we will see how it works)..is the preferred method to let that script do it, or should I work on packaging the files that the script installs for you?
I guess this is akin to packaging CPAN, and the choice between having packages for the CPAN modules, or letting CPAN do it. Except here there may actually be some services installed (tftpd, dhcpd, etc.).
Edit: Doh! Here is the link to the PKGBUILD..it is VERY simple..
