Best Terminal Emulator For Fluxbox?

What is the best terminal emulator for Fluxbox? What do you guys use? What looks the nicest? What has transparency? Right now I'm using gnome-terminal but I don't want gnome installed on my system. I'm also using thunar to manage files.

Only you can answer that.
I use Terminal when in Fluxbox. pacman -S terminal
Yeah, that would be the xfce4-terminal. I love that one!

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.

Terminal emulation for OS X Server 10.5.8?

We use Xsan with 2 Xservers and 2 Promise arrays. Promise tells me I need to use a terminal emulator to get information from the arrays over a seril connection. The emulator has to emulate a VT100 or ANSI terminal. Neither Promise nor Apple Support would recommend a terminal emulator.
Does anyone have experience running a terminal emulator on an Xserve running OS X Server 10.5.8? Is there one you would recommed? Not recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Chuck

Last time I did this I used a USB to Serial adaptor on a MacBook Pro with ZTerm software.
See http://www.dalverson.com/zterm/
The XServe in theory has a built-in serial port but at the time I tried it, I could not get ZTerm to successfully communicate via it, the USB serial adaptor (this one - http://www.macwise.com/Keyspan.html ) worked fine.

Terminal Emulator for dbca

Hi,
First sorry for posting this in irrelevant forum.
I want to access Solaris 10 server from my windows XP machine and want to run dbca.
Please recommend me any free software to accomplish that and any steps to configure this.

The easiest is the following.
Request your Solaris sysadmin to install VNC server on the Solaris server. Alternatively, you can download the binaries yourself, copy it to your Solaris account and unzip it.
Next you run vncserver in your account on the Solaris server (you need to supply a password).
You now need to download vncviewer for your Windows platform. You can even just download the vncviewer.exe zipped and unzip it. Run it. Enter the hostname of your Solaris server and the vnc display number. Provide the password.
The viewer will now show you your Solaris desktop - allowing you to run dbca inside it.
VNC is free - and there a numerous web resources available for downloading the required s/w.I'm sure I'm missing something here, as my understanding in this (most!) area is probably over-simplistic. Isn't dbca inherently a GUI app, requireding a GUI device to write to? Either a desktop on the solaris server or an x-server on a remote pc? And further, aren't the GUI desktops in unix (gnome, kde, etc) implemented via x-windows anyway?

About the Apple2 screensaver, it seems to have two different versions, one true black & white, and one black & yellow/blue/white.
The true black & white one is a lot easier on the eyes. The man page mentions some X(defaults?) resources analogTVTint, analogTVColor, analogTVBrightness, and analogTVContrast. I'll try to experiment a bit with this. (edit: didn't seem to make any difference at all)
And a lot of keys don't work from F-keys to page up/down and the arrow keys.
Also, it's surprisingly big on resources, compare this:
--> ps -A -ao comm,size,rss,vsize | grep aterm
aterm 792 2092 3948
--> ps -A -ao comm,size,rss,vsize | grep screen
screen 2712 3372 5240
screen 472 972 3000
--> ps -A -ao comm,size,rss,vsize | grep sithwm
sithwm 244 1040 2696
--> ps -A -ao comm,size,rss,vsize | grep firefox
firefox 400 1412 3092
firefox-bin 180852 100136 223872
--> ps -A -ao comm,size,rss,vsize | grep apple2
apple2 2428 9184 12240
(edit: and really awful on CPU resources 70% )

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.

Looking for GTK2/transparent terminal emulator

I've been trying to find a decent terminal emulator that fulfills my requirements, nothing quite hits the mark for me so far! I need a terminal emulator that has the following:
* GTK2
* tabs
* mouse scroll - for apps such as man, less etc as well as scrollback
* true transparency
* click urls and launch in a browser
* Not too many dependancies, gnome, kde etc
Any suggestions would be appreciated! I've tried xterm, Sakura, Termit, evilvte, Terminal, lxterminal. I'm currently using urxvt which is close to what I want.

moljac024 wrote:gnome-terminal then.
Although, might I suggest staying with urxvt and using gnu screen ?
Besides all the other advantages, you won't need no terminal tabs
Although urxvt does support tabs if you still wanted.
For me, I have never had any use for tabs in terminal. all i need to start a terminal is a Mod4+t anyway. easy enough to hit and brings up the terminal instantly and I don't have a panel in any of my WMs, so I don't have to worry about it taking up real estate on the task bar

Wyse 50 Emulation for Mac Terminal

Hi. I know there are a lot of terminal emulation apps out there, even for the mac. But what I'm wondering is this; is there any way I can add Wyse 50 emulation to my macbooks Terminal app? I would really like to not have to download another terminal program for my mac. I find it redundant to have two terminal programs installed on one computer. Let me know what my options are.
Thank you in advance

This has been a work in progress goal of mine as well. I was able to get WYSE 60 emulation going but I have an ongoing problem with time-outs and function keys.
I've only found 2 third-party emulators of WYSE and I've demoed both. They work alright but I feel that none compare to Anzio who's product is windows only. For that reason, I'm using Parallels Desktop to virtualize windows.
Good luck -GDF

Sun Win32 Emulation Library v1.1 for Solaris

I was wondering, has anyone else experienced missing source and header files from the 'Sun Win32 Emulation Library v1.1 for Solaris' download.
When proceeding to download this version and unzipping into the relevant directory, it would appear that many of the source and headers files described at:
http:/soldc.sun.com/ntmigration.nttech/SupportedAPIs.html
(ie. Functions currently implemented in the in32 Emulation Library V1.1 for Solaris) are missing ?
Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Best Wishes

For those interested, the Sun Win32 library can now be properly downloaded.

Upgrading Graphics for Solaris 8 on Dell laptop

I installed solaris 8 for Intel on a Dell Laptop. I could only get the 16 color option working.
What drivers or patches can I use and where can I get them????

Hi,
I don't know what video card you have, but I just downloaded this porting kit for solaris8 intel. It work perfectly on my desktop Dell 4100. I think it will also work for the dell laptop. The porting kit is NOT XFree86; it only make use of the xfree86 drivers for solaris.
For more infos please refer to the following link:

[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?

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.

Terminal setup for installation

Hello everyone,
in console installation of Solaris 10 I can select my language, type of terminal and I get nice (readable) way of installing Solaris.
However, in OpenSolaris I can only select language and then it skips over directly in to installation, which is a big mess and no way to get through.
So how can I set up the terminal in OpenSolaris so I can do console installation?
Thank you,
Philip

If you're looking for a fast way to make thigns work, don't bother withj a full blown app server since you can just use oc4j for OBI EE.
As for the the db. Well if you don't want to connect to a db server somewhere else or can't do that, then you're of course obliged to have SOME datasource for your trials. Doesn't need to be a complete Oracle instance. As you can see from the sample, a simple XML is sufficient.

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...
