GNU Screen Scroll problem

Hello everyone, I'm a new member in the Arch community and I'm enjoying myself a lot by using this distribution.
the problem I'm having is that I can't seem to get the mouse scrollwheel to scroll upwards in GNU Screen running in a Terminator emulator once the terminal is filled.
I have searched a bit and found that I should put something like this in my ~/.screenrc
terminfo xterm* ti@:te@
I have changed the xterm* to terminator* to match my emulator, my full .screenrc is as follows
bind c screen 1
bind ^c screen 1
bind 0 select 10
screen 1
term screen-256color
hardstatus alwayslastline '%{= g}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{= w}%?%-Lw%?%{= R}%n*%f %t%?%{= R}(%u)%?%{= w}%+Lw%?%= %{= g}][%{B}%Y-%m-%d%{g}]'
startup_message off
terminfo terminator* ti@:te@
vbell off
altscreen on
defscrollback 5000
When I first open screen I can scroll up and down using the mouse wheel, but once the terminal gets filled all the way, the mouse wheel starts to show the command history instead of scrolling, which is a pretty odd behavior in my point of view.
Anyone knows why is that happening?

They're called code tags
I can't help with the problem directly, but those who can will probably be more inclined to do so if you include file contents of command output in [ code ] ... [ /code ] tags to keep it clean and readable.

  • GNU Screen mouse scrolling shows only empty lines

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with using my mouse wheel to scroll in GNU Screen.
    This is the content of my .screenrc:
    defscrollback 10000
    hardstatus off
    termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@
    altscreen on
    With this settings, It kinda works: I can scroll up, but instead of showing the previous output, I just shows blank lines.
    I can actually scroll up by entering Screen's copy mode using CTRL-A ESC and then using the Arrow-keys or PageUp.
    Furthermore, if I then scroll with my mouse wheel, I can also scroll the lines that were displayed in copy mode, but if I try to scroll further than I scrolled in copy mode, I still see blank lines.
    Thanks in advance!

    No I think the problem is more basic than that...he's trying to use an ATi card and an Nvidia card simultaneously.  Something that I don't think will work.
    It also dependent on what drivers he is trying to use, as the (new) Nvidia proprietary driver only supports GeForce4 series chips and up...and the OP has an even older card than that.  The legacy Nvidia-96.xx driver does support his chipset, but 96.xx does not work with Xorg1.8 last I knew. see: http://www.archlinux.org/news/502/
    Twinview does not exist in the Nouveau drivers, so one has to use xrandr: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau

  • Still the same issue: Scrolling problem in itunes w/ dual screen setup

    Hey there,
    I am getting really ****** here. For 2 months this problem has been bugging me. It seems to randomly appear and disappear.
    Just have a look what is happening here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2m4G6c2Tqo
    I basically tried everything.
    1.Reinstalled Windows from scratch twice!
    2 Reinstalled Itunes a couple of times - clean install - tried different versions. Yea, got the latest one now.
    3. Tried different VGA drivers. Got the latest Intel driver installed.
    The problem has been gone for a couple of weeks now ever since I uninstalled a Windows update called U2711 Dell Display driver (The U2711 is my current LCD). That was just a 80KB file that messed Itunes up.
    Well, I believed I found the problem (hail system restore) but nope. Today it started happening again. I even have Windows Update deactivated for that reason so no changes have been made to the system in the last couple of days! It worked fine yesterday.
    So again: Same scrolling problem. And it only happens on my second large 27" screen. On the notebook screen it works just fine.
    Guys, I really need help. I'm about to curse Apple and Microsoft at the same time.
    Cheers
    K

    Since I am that furstated I started trying really unorthodox methods to resolve the problem.
    I just started Itunes in compatibilty mode (Windows XP SP3) and for now it seems to be working without that annoying bug!
    Anybody know what that means?!

  • My monitor screen scrolls up and down on its own by it's self? How do I stop it?

    How do I fix a monitor screen scrolling up and down on its own?

    Sabrasam,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I want you to try a factory reset on the monitor if you haven’t attempted one already.
    1.       Press the Menu down in the bottom right corner of the monitor.
    2.       Once the on screen display appears toggle down to factory reset.
    3.       Select on that option
    You might see your monitor go dark a couple times but that is normal. Test it out after the reset.
    If I have been helpful or if you'd like to say thank you for me trying to help, click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
    Please respond at your earliest convenience.
    Thanks
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

  • Dock magnification, menu bar and scrolling problems

    I'm running 10.6.4 and have suddenly noticed that for no apparent reason, dock magnification, roll over menus and screen scrolling in Zoom mode have stopped working. I've checked all the settings and they are set properly. If I shut down and restart, everything works fine for a few minutes, then the problem starts up again. I've fixed permissions and have even unplugged the Mac for a few minutes, but nothing seems to work permanently. I've checked my CPU cycles and they're down in the 1-4% range, so nothing seems to be running in the background. I'm baffled why this suddenly began and why, after a restart it works fine for a few minutes then the problem starts up again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Urxvt, xterm, vim, and gnu screen.

    To make this simple: all i want is 256 color support in one terminal, that will give 256 color support in vim, gnu screen, and not screw up shells i ssh into.    If I could get this working in xterm alone consider this solved.
    The more I try to fix my problem it seems the more complicated it gets.  What I want, I thought was simple:
    Now xterm seems to be the most workable solution, I guess I can give up on having clickable links, so that can go on the back burner.  But these are the problems i'm having.
    Here's the problem point by point:
    Urxvt
    $ echo $TERM
    xterm-256color
    Urxvt will run a perl script I have to display 256 colors.  Except is does not show the grayscale ramp shown here:
    VIM in urxvt does NOT show any colors.  It's all white text.
    This is my .vimrc
    $ cat .vimrc
    syntax on
    set ignorecase
    set smartcase
    set incsearch
    set hlsearch
    let g:netrw_http_cmd = "wget -q -O"
    if &t_Co == 256
    colorscheme xoria256
    else
    colorscheme desert
    endif
    in urxvt Gnu Screen
    echo $TERM
    screen-256color-bce
    the perl script does not display 256 colors like it should.
    vim in urxvt in screen again, does not show any colors. all white text.
    Xterm
    echo $TERM
    xterm
    Xterm displays the full 256 colors from the script including the grayscale ramp.
    vim in xterm displays the desert theme (i would prefer it default to the xoria256, no idea why the 256 color script works but vim doesn't see xterm as a 256 capable terminal).
    in xterm, Gnu Screen
    echo $TERM
    screen-256color-bce   ( I do not see in any file where this option is defined)
    Xterm with Gnu Screen displays the full 256 colors from the script including the grayscale ramp.
    Vim in Gnu Screen in Xterm displays 256 colors properly.
    Here is my .screenrc
    #terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
    # allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
    attrcolor b ".I"
    # tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
    termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'

    I had similar but different issues regarding this.  Now, i have 256 color support in whatever terminal/ssh/screen session I'm in.
    The relevant config lines:
    .Xdefaults:
    XTerm*termName: xterm-256color
    URxvt*termName: rxvt-256color
    .vimrc
    " 256 colors only if you can handle it
    if $TERM =~ "-256color"
    set t_Co=256
    colorscheme zenburn
    endif
    .screenrc
    # term
    term xterm-256color
    # main options
    altscreen on
    attrcolor b ".I"
    defbce "on"
    # some termcaps
    termcapinfo xterm-256color 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
    termcapinfo rxvt-256color 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
    note: this setup caused an issue where background colors in mutt/htop inside screen did not extend passed the line's text.  i had to solve that via this workaround.

  • GNU Screen prints back garbage?

    So. I've noticed an odd thing happening. Eventually, while running GNU Screen, lynx will start spitting out garbage characters at me. It usually starts with lynx, and then spreads to my other programs. http://homepage.mac.com/jamesebailey/screen_garbage.png is a picture of irssi with the garbage. I've only just started using screen, and I don't have the problem when I log in remotely, but only on my local login. I guess I could just SSH into my home computer while sitting in front of it, but that just seems silly, and there's got to be an explanation and solution for this, other than just working around it.
    Maybe not.

    Yeah, I know a couple of ways of getting it to do that, unfortunately, I've done none. Usually, I just switch back to a screen and see garbage. Moments later, all of my screens have garbage. Usually quitting the program and then quitting terminal gets rid of it, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what causes it and how to prevent it.

  • Using "Window" (Super_L) key as escape in GNU Screen

    I've been trying to map the Windows key (to the left of the space bar) to be the escape key in GNU Screen (as opposed to ^A) with no luck. xev gives me that it generates keycode 133 and its keysym is "Super_L" so its definitely recognized by the system, but I don't know what I can write in my .screenrc to be able to use it as an escape key. I've tried googling how to do it, but the solution another person found didn't work for me (use xmodmap to map keycode 133 to something else - like F13, and then get the literal value in vim by pressing ctrl+v and the key (it generated ^[[3~ or something similar) and then putting that in the .screenrc file).
    Has anyone else solved this?

    I believe you can use the xmodmap method, although it may cause you some problems.  Try this:
    $ xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = F19"
    then put the following line in your .screenrc:
    bindkey -k F9 command
    Note the difference between using 'F19' for xmodmap and using 'F9' in the bindkey command.  This is due to bindkey using the termcap database for specifing keys.  The main problem here, as far as I can tell, is that the termcap database doesn't have any notion of the "Super_L" or "Super_R" keys, thus you have to do this strange xmodmap assignment of keycode 133 to some key that bindkey can recognize.  This will work even if your keyboard doesn't have an F19 key as my example shows.  Of course, you don't have to use function key F19; you can use any key on your keyboard.  The important thing to remember is that the bindkey command in your .screenrc file uses the termcap database (see man termcap) to determine what key to use, and the xmodmap command uses some other mechanism. You have to understand how to specify the keys for each case.
    Other possibilities:
    xmodmap -e "keycode 133 =  F1"  <==>  bindkey -k k1 command
    xmodmap -e "keycode 133 =  F2"  <==>  bindkey -k k2 command
    xmodmap -e "keycode 133 =  F3"  <==>  bindkey -k k3 command
    xmodmap -e "keycode 133 =  F9"  <==>  bindkey -k k9 command
    xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = F10"  <==>  bindkey -k k; command
    xmodmap -e "keycode 133 = F11"  <==>  bindkey -k F1 command
    etc.
    This could cause a problem if some other application you use (like your window manager or desktop environment) uses 'Super_L' for something.  I really don't understand exactly how all this works so I don't know how you could fix a conflict like that.
    Finally, when you remap 'keycode 133' to some other key, then pressing that key will now generate some character. Pressing the windows key when not in screen, at least on my system, caused a '~' to be printed.  I don't know how you would get rid of this.

  • Gnu Screen and 10.5

    So, does anyone else have problems with Gnu Screen and OSX 10.5? If I use the box-shipped version, my PATH is completely ignored, and it doesn't understand deflogin or login in my .screenrc file.
    If I use the macports version, I get UTMP problems and unless I manually create /var/run/utmp, eventually /etc/sudoers and passwd gets updated, and UID 501 is no longer in the passwd file!

    That's actually not screen's fault.
    When bash starts, it will read either .profile_bash or .bashrc but not both, depending whether it is a shell process or subprocess.
    On X-window based systems, one of these (I can never remember which) gets read when the root window starts, and then the other gets read when every sub-process starts. On OS X this approach breaks down.
    There is a slightly different bug I have been seeing, and I think it is due to multi-threading. Basically the screen session starts before the $PATH gets entries like /sw/bin or /opt/local/bin set. I never figured out how, but my hackish workaround is simply to start screen and then invoke the process I want, rather than to do it all in one command. (This gets annoying if you are writing shell scripts that invoke screen).

  • GNU screen, spawn windows and issue specific command to each

    Hello folks.
    I want gnu screen to spawn some windows, let's say, so I've put these lines in .screenrc:
    screen -t foo
    screen -t bar
    now I'd like to change the directories for foo and bar. I've tried multiple commands like:
    screen -X at foo screen -X stuff 'cd /tmp^M'
    screen -X at bar screen -X stuff 'cd ~/projects^M'
    and some other variations. At best, it gives the error message: "key: screen: invalid option -X .", at worst it doesn't start at all.
    Regards.

    problem solved. for others in need, put in .screenrc:
    screen -t foo
    at foo stuff 'cd /tmp^M'
    where "^M" is generated by pressing sequentially ctrl+v,ctrl+m

  • Vertical Scrolling problem in Safari

    I'm currently having an odd vertical scrolling problem in Safari.  This issue is not reproduced in Chrome or Firefox.
    I've been able to reproduce this issue doing something very simple:
    I have a browser wide rectangle with a solid color.
    Beneath that I have a browser wide photo.  (Rectangle set to browser edges and then fit to fill with photo.)
    And beneath that I have another browser wide rectangle with a solid color.
    Then I scroll.
    Once the photo (the middle element) reaches the top of the screen I have shut the scrolling off so the photo will stay static. (Initial motion 1 / Final motion 0 set in the "Fill/Scroll" tab - and the key position is set so it stops at the top of the browser.)  As expected, the lowest box continues to scroll upwards and cover the static photo.
    This very simple effect is flawless in Preview mode, Chrome, and Firefox.
    Yet in Safari, the photo, once it reaches its resting spot, does stay static, but seems to jump and jitter all over the place while I continue scrolling and the below content covers it.  (In the other browsers it's super solid like a real static background.)
    I've read there are some parallax scrolling bugs in Safari Mavericks.  But I'm still in an older operating system using 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    Any suggestions or work arounds on how to correct this? (Again, I'm controlling the scroll using the scroll tab found with "Fill". Should I also be using the one found under Scroll Effects?  What the best one to use? Although it does work in the other browsers… so…  maybe I'm not doing anything wrong and this really is a Safari problem.)
    Thanks you.

    Hi
    Please share the site url, I will have a look.
    Thanks,

  • HT6162 IOS 7.1 creates scrolling problem?

    Upgraded my UK iPhone 5S 64GB to ios 7.1 yesterday. I have been facing page scrolling problems in all applications (Bloomberg, BBC, Safari, FT, LinkedIn, FaceBook...all applications). The problem is easily reproduced by keeping your finger on the screen when the page to scroll is displayed and moving the finger slowly to scroll the page. The page jumps in direction opposite to the expected.

    Hey, I have an iPhone 5 64Gb just updated to iOS 7.1 (11D167) . Various apps all have the same scroll problem. It's amost like 1.5 cm from the the bottom of my screen, an invisable line across the phone where swiping across up or down causes the the normal smooth motion to be jumpy. This has only just happened after the latest iOS update. I have also noticed touch senstivity issues when using the keyboard in some older apps causing key strokes to be missed or even double pressed when only pressing once, and number keys to not work also. My current work around is to type the txt or numbers into notes app, then cut or copy the txt or numbers into the app i'm  using. My other work around for the scroll issue, is to use asistive touch and create a scroll gesture.
    Hope there is a fix for this soon. I'm not totally convinced this is a hardware issue. it's too coincidental these issues just happend to occur after the latest update. Gone through the normal power cycle, soft reboot holding home button and power button for 10 secs, but makes no difference.
    I've turned back on the' automatically send' diagnostics & usage setting in general settings hoping this will contribute to a fix.

  • [SOLVED] GNU Screen - sessions always dead after restart

    I recently started using GNU screen.  I'm able to detach and reattach sessions normally, except after a restart.  Then any detached sessions are marked as dead and all I can do is run a screen -wipe.  My sessions are stored in ~/.screen. 
    I've searched the web and forums but no one seems to have had this problem.
    Any ideas?  Screen's a lot less useful if I can't reattach after restarting.

    This is sort of related, but sometimes it is possible to use special software to suspend an application as a file, which could possibly be set up with screen to provide a rebootable state. However this software seems to be fairly hard to find and get working well enough to be usable. If you want to investigate more, you can probably google for something like "linux application freezing" or "linux application checkpointing".
    Actually I just found the software I was thinking of as I'm typing this, http://cryopid.berlios.de/. The page doesn't seem to be loading for me, but I think I have used this in the past with limited success. Not sure if it up to date with the latest kernels however.

  • EHP1 Upgarde Monitor screen resolution problem in a support message

    Hi Experts,
    We have recently upgraded our Solution manager to EHP1, iam facing a screen resolution problem with 15 inch monitors.
    Our key users have 15 inch monitors to their system and when they try to reply a support message under transaction data-> Overview tab -> reply it is showing only one line for them , due to which they are unable to enter the complete data in it.
    How ever We have found that this does not occur with 17 inc monitors as the required screen resoution 1280* 1024 is possible due to bigger size of the monitor.
    can any one suggest how to make the overview tab visible completely with small resolution monitors.
    Thanks

  • Mac Pro 2007 with Nvidia 8800GT screen redraw problems on Mac OS 10.5.2

    I seem to be having a slight screen redraw problem. Such as when grabbing the browser window and moving up and down it seems the redraw can't keep up,also seems problematic when watching flash or other video online. It does it in the finder too for windows listings or in icon view there is a fluttering or flashing back and forth, kind of like a white super split second flash when dragging the window box smaller or larger not as bad as when making smaller. Hard to describe but my original Ge-force that I pulled was not having these characteristics. I figure that the drivers need tweaking. In windows I am not getting these results. I have newer boot camp installed as well as the leopard graphics update done so I am trying to see if others are having a slight problem or maybe it is me.
    Also I make certain it is not heat related as I monitor that and it does not matter at what temp it is.

    Here's another similar experience -- and my solution.
    I bought a Quad-core 2.8GHz (8GB RAM) Mac Pro in May and got the "better" Nvidia 8800GT. I thought I was happy, but there were redraw issues after sleeping and a display "roughness" I found annoying. Upgrading to OSX 10.5.4 didn't help.
    I found it to be mostly absent on startup, but sleeping the Mac would bring it on. I.e., after sleep, the relatiionship between the 8800GT would be different than before. when I logged out and in again, the problem woud vanish. No what I expect from a "superior" graphics card. I ascribed it to funky drivers from Apple.
    The store I bought the Mac from offered to swap for my suggestion of an ATI HD 3870, so I went for it about a week ago.
    This card is far smoother than the 8800GT and just as fast in rendering benchmerks for graphics. (I'm not a gamer.) I am a happy camper! There is no stuttering, oddball redraw, or jerkiness as there had been with the 8800. It's perfect! Never mind that it may be 5% slower for gamers, it feels faster for my use.
    BUT NOTE: As I now see from reading several forums, I wasn't alone is getting a screaming-Mimi at first! The first 3870 ran at nearly full fan speed at power-up. The speed changed a little with resolution changes on my big Mitsubishi CRT monitor, and actually stopped when I switched to 1080x1920 @ 72Hz! Then the fan would start and quit, start and quit randomly -- convincing me it was defective.
    I returned this RED-shrouded unit and the store replaced it, this time with (randomly) a BLUE-shrouded unit. (Slightly lower serial.)
    Bottom Line: This replacement 3870 is quiet as a mouse! Fan runs near-silently at startup and after hours of regular use in a 75ºF room. I get the distinct feeling that a bunch of cards with wonky fan controllers were built, and some of us got 'em.
    Bad News: The ATI HD 3870 does NOT support multiple refresh rates under Windows XP-SP2 booting the Mac Pro, with or without Boot Camp drivers installed. No version of the ATI drivers fixes this, and ATI does not officially support Boot Camp yet. You can choose a resolution okay, but you're stuck at 60Hz refresh -- a pain for those of us who hate 60Hz flicker. (I like 100Hz refresh.)
