Leopard Terminal Says UBUNTU?????

I wanted to enter something in my terminal and this is what it says.
ubuntu:~(name)
How did that get there and how can I use the regular terminal?
Thanks,
Daniel

  • Scandinavian characters in Leopard terminal

    I have a problem with Leopard terminal. It seems that no matter what I do, the terminal is not able to show scandinavian characters. I have tried to change all the related setting in Terminal preferences. I can now write special chars like ä, ö, å but when I try to list files with ls command all these characters are escaped and coded. This really bothers me because I need terminal very often and I need to see file lists with clear filenames. How can I change this?
    I'm using a Finnish keyboard and my OS X language is set to English. In terminal preferences I set the charset encoding to ISO Latin-1 to get the scandinavian characters working. For some strange reason they didn't work with UTF-8. I have also unselected the tab "Escape non-ASCII input". What else should I do to get everything working?

    when I try to list files with ls command all these characters are escaped and coded.
    Try ls -v

  • Keyboard selection in Leopard Terminal

    Does anyone know where the keyboard selection has gone in the Leopard Terminal? I.e., the command-option-enter command, then selecting some text using it two times more, which then could be pasted.
    I quite liked it, especially as I don't like mice/mouses/pointing devices. Is it still there under a different short cut, or just completely gone?

    I am also looking for this. For those of you unfamiliar, here is a summary of what Keyboard Selection can do http://www.macworld.com/article/59321/2007/08/termtext.html

  • Leopard Terminal.app problem

    I have two issues.
    In Tiger Terminal, it is possible to select text and drag and drop on the current command line. Is this possible in Leopard Terminal.
    Also, I am in the habit of drag and dropping filenames from Finder into Terminal windows. When I do this in Terminal, it looses track of the cursor location. e.g. I create a new folder "untitled folder" and drag it to Terminal, do Ctrl-A to go the the start of the line and type cd, Terminal displays
    /Usecd rs/pheon/Desktop/untitled\ folder
    I hit return and I cd to untitled\ folder. No real problem apart from being ugly and difficult.
    Any solutions?

  • When I try to go to the profile manager, the Mac Terminal says this: "dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022" and I don't know what that means!

    Firefox has been acting up lately, so I was going to create a new profile and copy over some stuff from the old one to the new one. I followed the instructions on the troubleshooting page, but when I tried to type in /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager, the Terminal says dyld:unknown required load command 0x80000022. I know Firefox is closed, so I have no idea what's going on. Please help!

    add "arch -i386 " at the beginning of the command

    There is your problem. DVDs that ship with a Mac are machine specific. You will need to purchase a retail copy of the DVD $29.

  • Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, Win 7 & Ubuntu, can't upgrade to Lion

    I have new 13" macbook pro with Snow Leopard on it.  With a combination of boot camp and some disc partitioning trickery, I got windows 7 and ubuntu on it as well.  Furthermore I also have a shared data (fat32) partition on the machine (so 4 main partitions - win,mac,linux,shared - plus swap partition, efi, etc).
    I just download Lion and I'm trying to start the installer, but when it asks me which partition I want to install it on, all options are greyed out and the Macintosh HD partition says somethign to the effect of "this disc cannot be used to start the computer".  Is there any way for me to get lion installed without having to erase all my extra partitions and start this whole agonizing process over again?

    You may be out of luck without formatting your HDD. See this article from Macworld:
    (At least Recovery HD should be created. In our testing, it appears this special partition is created only when you install Lion onto an internal drive formatted with a GUID partition scheme. In addition, that internal drive must initially have only a single partition; or be a multi-partition drive that was partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant and not further modified afterwards. So not everyone will get this useful feature. Apple has confirmed some of these restrictions.)

  • How to configure firefox 3.6 proxy through ssh terminal on ubuntu 8.04

    I am trying to configure Firefox proxy through an ssh terminal (putty) on Ubuntu 8.04. There in no GUI for the terminal, so am using xvfb to simulate the display. However Firefox cannot open any website because the proxy is not set correctly
    Here's what I tried.Edited a loadcustom.js file in
    /usr/lib/firefox-3.6x/defaults/prefs
    and added the lines
    // tell firefox to load customized config file
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
    Then created a firefox.cfg file in
    /usr/lib/firefox3.6x and added the lines
    // Lock specific preferences in Firefox so that users cannot edit them
    lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
    lockPref("network.proxy.http", "my-proxy.in-my-domain.com");
    lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
    lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);
    lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.0/24");
    lockPref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
    lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com/");
    This did not work for me. Any suggestions?

    Never mind. I got it working now, I was editing at the wrong place I guess.
    I had to add the settings in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.17/defaults/pref/firefox.js and then restart Firefox. Here's what I added
    pref("network.proxy.type", 4); to have Firefox auto-detect proxy settings.

  • Bootcamp drivers on leopard CD say not compatible with windows 7 RC ?

    have installed windows 7 RC 32-bit using bootcamp 2.0 and installed all ok (running via 10.5.7).
    however, when i try to install windows drivers from OSX DVD (10.5.1 retail), it says it only works with XP or Vista and then it jumps straight to the finish window.
    how do i install the windows drivers?

    The reason no one responded is likely because a simple search will show other threads with same question, with various suggestions, from modify the MSI installer check, to install each driver individually, to wait for Snow Leopard.... or just find the latest drivers.
    And whether you want to tempt fate, or wait, and whether the warning should be ignored...

  • I can't find Java preferences also System preferences says i have Java 7 but Terminal says i have Java 6

    So i downloaded java 7 to run this program called Spigot and Bungeecord and when i ran them in terminal it said i had Java 6 so i called apple support and they said they couldnt help to ask oracle but this lady answered and she had no clue and told me to call an engineer and you need to pay for that so i didnt and now im here  As the title says I need help with those things.

    There are two different Java distributions for the Mac: one distributed by Apple, and one by Oracle. They don't overlap in function.
    The Apple Java runtime (version 6) is needed to run bare jar files and older standalone Java applications. Newer Java applications have the Java runtime built in, and don't depend on Apple's Java.
    The Oracle Java runtime (version 7) is a web plugin only. It's used to run Java applets on web pages and Java WebStart applications. You can determine whether it's installed and up to date by looking for a preference pane named Java in System Preferences. If it's present, open it. It will launch the "Java Control Panel." Select the Update tab.

  • Leopard Terminal Features Gone

    I used to be able to save my connection and window settings all together in Terminal in Tiger. I could simply double-click a saved terminal, and it would open the terminal app, make my SSH connection and display the background and other colors (which help remind me which remote machine I am on) that I had saved with that connection. Where have all these features gone? Can anyone tell me how to save a remote connection in the new Terminal?

    Your Mail is not gone. The problem you are having following the upgrade to Leopard (10.5.6) from Tiger (10.4.11), is probably what has been covered by the support document at the link below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
    If you also find any files named to include MessageSorting (which would mean you once have upgraded from a version of OSX earlier than 10.4), remove those, also, but never restore those.
    To find the correct location for the Mail folder, open a Finder window, click on the icon of a house in the Sidebar (this is known often as "Home"), click on Library in that Home user directory, and then to open the Mail folder found there.

  • Leopard Terminal.app no longer supports ANSI print escape sequences?!!

    I print my email using pine's "attached-to-ansi" option, which used to work great in Tiger with Terminal.app. It no longer works in Leopard. It also breaks things like the "ansiprt" Unix command.
    This is a start/stop escape sequence that diverts text between the start/stop sequences to the printer. See http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm as a reference.
    Is there some Terminal.app setting I need to use to enable this? Some specific terminal type perhaps?
    Suggesting that I use enscript or other techniques don't work, as I use the Terminal to ssh into my mail server, then run pine on the mail server.
    Anyway, any idea how to get this very desirable feature back?
    Thanks,
    -John

    HI,
    I tried to set "Escape non-ASCII input" without any change. I didn't see an option to change "Escape non-ASCII output". I tried a few other things without success either using a different terminal type and so forth. I looked in the .term file and didn't see anything text related to ANSI or ASCII or escape.
    If I change a Terminal preference do I need to quit and restart Terminal to test the change, or does the change take place as soon as I change it in the menu? I tried quitting and restarting after checking "Escape non-ASCII input" and when I restart the box was unchecked. I couldn't find a "save preferences option either.
    In Tiger, my terminal type was xterm-color- same in Leopard. I had checked off "Escape non-ASCII characters" under Tiger.
    Here's exactly what I do, *which used to work in Leopard*.
    I run Terminal.app on my MacBook, and ssh to a mail server. On the mail server, I run the pine command to read my mail. Pine has an option to print email using ASCII escape sequences. Terminal.app sees these escape sequences and diverts the text to the default printer on my MacBook.
    Under Leopard, the Terminal doesn't catch the ANSI escape code, and just spews the text to the terminal window. Nothing has changed on the mail server side. I;m using the sane ssh command.
    Enscript won't work, as the printer connected to the mail server is often as not in a different state than my MacBook.
    Not all terminal emulators support the ANSI print escape sequences. Terminal didn't before Tiger, if I remember correctly. I used to use a very nice terminal emulator called Data Comet which did it.
    ANSI printing used to be a fairly common way to print to a local printer connected to via a parallel cable. Besides pine, the Unix command ansiprt http://kb.iu.edu/data/abye.html could be used to print remote files on the local printer. Some terminal emulator programs used the idea to hook the ANSI escape sequence to the printing system, extending the functionality to use any printer accessible by the local system.
    Thanks again for all your help. I hope I've clarified what I'm trying to do.
    -John

  • Leopard Terminal - No ANSI Colors at all?

    I've done a lot of searching on Terminal colors in Leopard (updated to latest.) I keep coming across fixes to change your colors, but my issue is that my Terminal doesn't display any ANSI colors at all. The terminal configuration works fine, but colors for everything (folders, executables, etc.) are always the same.
    I've tried changing a number of setting, installing the TerminalColors SIMBL plugin, and anything else I could think of, but my color scheme is always monotone.
    infocmp's first few lines:
    # Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/78/xterm-color
    xterm-color|nxterm|generic color xterm,
    am, km, mir, msgr, xenl,
    colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, ncv@, pairs#64,
    Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!

    Figured it out.
    "ls -G" does it (duh)
    Don't remember doing this in Tiger, but perhaps I did.
    Added
    alias ls="ls -G"
    to ~/.profile
    to make this automatic.

  • Retail Leopard install says Macbook wrong hardware

    Had a disc failure so attempting to resinstall Leopard on a new disc. Unfortunately the office has lost the original installation discs so I'm trying a retail copy of Leopard. After selecting the language I get an error that says (in summary) I'm trying to install on incompatible hardware. How can a Macbook bought AFTER Leopard was release be incompatible?
    Any tips or suggestions? I can order a new set from Apple but I need to get this machine built ASAP.

    If you're MacBook came loaded from the factory with Leopard, only the installation discs that came with it will install Leopard. A retail version will not work. You'll need to order it from Apple.
    If you're MacBook came with Tiger installed, then the retail version should work.
    Just a note - I can't believe I used "you're" instead of "your" twice.

  • Problem with gcc in Leopard terminal

    Hi,
    I am hoping to study computer science in college and eventually become a mac developer. I just recently bought an objective C programming book that is geared toward beginners. After reading it some, I tried to make a very simple program. I used text edit and saved it as a .m file. When I tried to compile it in terminal using gcc, (I have installed the dev tools) it spat back this error message.
