Slow xfce4-terminal (and all vte-based terminals)

Hi everyone!
So this is the problem, i have slow output in all vte-based terminals.
I tried this command:
time seq -f 'teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest %g' 100000
to measure the performance, and in xfce4-terminal i get about 7.6 secs but in urxvt, for example, i get about 0.9 secs.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
PS: Sorry for my bad English.

If i don't get an answer, i'll do this way.
My suggestion was serious. All vte terminals are slow and there's nothing you can do to speed them up. urxvt is way faster.

  • Zsh - lots of blank space upon resizing VTE based terminals

    Hello
    I have an issue that is rendering me sleepless these days. It's about zsh and its behaviour when being run inside a VTE based terminal (e.g. gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, roxterm, sakura, ...).
    When I increase the terminal height, if the buffer exceeds the window height, the content above won't get correctly shifted down, but simply blank space is added at the bottom.
    On the contrary, when I decrease the terminal height, it does not simply remove the blank space at the bottom, but instead shifts up the buffer, keeping the blank space.
    This is quite annoying, because everytime I resize my windows (which happens quite often, as I'm in a tiling WM), I find myself scrolling up in order to see older output because there's only one line remaining. And even worse, as I start typing, it all scrolls back down, even though I type within the visible area.
    This does not happen upon running another shell (bash, dash), or zsh in a non-VTE terminal (urxvt, xterm), however I'd like to stay with zsh and xfce4-terminal (as I'm having lots of other issues with urxvt).
    After hours of googling, I haven't found any entry about a similar problem, which I find slightly confusing, since one of my friends has exactly the same behaviour with xfce4-terminal and zsh (he just hasn't noticed until I asked him, as he doesn't resize his terminal windows that often).
    My question(s):
    Does anybody else use zsh in a VTE-based terminal? And if so, do you get the same behaviour? And if not, could you help me out with your configuration?

    linvinus wrote:in zsh it hardcoded,
    you can check that if you run zsh inside script (script — make typescript of terminal session)
    Oh, you're right. It always prints \e[J before printing a new prompt. I suppose this is due to the 'suggestions-below-the-prompt' thing.
    Thanks for the script command. I learn something new every day ^^
    Now I applied the patch and it works for one half of the problem:
    When I decrease the window size, it correctly eats up the blank space at the bottom (so the text no longer gets pushed upwards).
    However, when I increase the window size, it still adds blank space to the bottom. So basically once a window has been sized down to, say, 10 rows, it will always stay at those 10 rows (except of course there's some new output).
    i think this is normal, but may be you are right.
    i will see what can be done better.

    no it will the same.
    ayekat wrote:
    ... this also explains why some terminals like xfce4-terminal and lxterminal behave as described above, while others like gnome-terminal or roxterm just continue bugging.
    Again, thank you!
    I'll try this afternoon if it works with the vte3 package.

  • How do I find the address of my usb ports so that I can connect a telescope to the macbook. I have tried various commands on terminal and all I get is 'directory or command not recognised'.

    The telescope instruction says open a Terminal and put in ls/dev/* and other such things and all I get back is that none of them are recognised.
    JeffersE

    Why don't you call the telescope company for support and let them explain it to you.  Usually there is software involved with those types of telescopes and if that software doesn't support Mac, it won't matter how or what USB port you plug it into because no drivers or anything will load for it.

  • XFCE4 terminal and colors

    I'm not really sure why I'm trying so hard to make the xfce4 terminal operate like urxvt, but whatever.
    XFCE4 terminal doesn't seem to pick up my color settings from .Xdefaults (probably because they are for urxvt ) but what is interesting is that the colors are different once again while in screen. If I open up vim or whatever while in the bare terminal, I get one set of colors (that aren't too bad, honestly) and when I open it up while in a screen I get another set of colors (which are awful.)
    Any ideas on how to make things more consistent?

    You have to setup your color settings on the terminal preferences (Edit > Preferences).
    The screen thing might be something with your .screenrc... I'm really not sure on what you have to change, but you can try appending this to it:
    term screen
    Looks like I've got to manually set the colors individually. Should be fun. Thanks.

  • Really slow internet uploads and images not showing

    I have tried "Disk Repair" and also did a "Reset Safari". Internet pages are REALLY slow to load and all images on websites are little blue boxes with a "?" in it. My internet connection is spotless, all this started right after I dowloaded OS X Mavericks. Please help!

    For images. With Safari open, if you see Develop in the menu bar top of your screen between Bookmarks and Window click Develop. If Disable Images is checked, click there one time to uncheck.
    You can also  empty the cache from the Develop menu. Develop > Empty Caches
    Then quit and relaunch Safari to test to see if images load and that pages load faster.

  • Cannot use win7 fonts in xfce4-terminal

    Hi, I recently installed the ttf-win7-fonts AUR package successfully. I can use these fonts in LibreOffice, but not in xfce4-terminal. I do not see them in the menu for fonts when I go to Preferences->Appearance->Font.
    The .ttf files are in the /usr/share/fonts/TTF directory. I tried running fc-cache and restarting xfce4-terminal and Awesome. I also tried creating a ~/.fonts directory, copying the .ttf files there, but I still cannot use them.
    What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.

    Im not sure about this but, why would you want those fonts in terminal? : i suggest to take a lot at the infinality repo that has a lot more fonts and tey are open source.

  • Fluxbox xfce4-terminal do not cooperate...

    http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/597/sc … 401753.png
    my terminal do not cooperate with fluxbox:
    do not have window borders (even when i set in ~./fluxbox/apps decoratino normal to terminal)
    and is always on top... (which is ... bad)
    this do not happend at start, only after a few minits terminal losts window borders etc...
    do you have any suggestions? or something, please....
    P.S: 3.1.5-1 kernel, Fluxbox 1.3.2 and terminal 0.4.8

    Well, as for A. I don't like it either, but sometimes it's not worth spending time on things that can be resolved in a different way.
    And for B.: here you have a comprehensive list of terminal emulators. If you wish to have something with similar layout / functionality / configuration style to XFCE4 terminal, you may pick up Roxterm for example, or Terminator. I for one have been using rxvt-unicode for a very long time, but it's just one of my idiosyncrasies.

  • Weechat + vte based terminal emulators

    I want to try using roxterm for a while but for some reason vte based terminal emulators (at least roxterm and gnome-terminal), I am unable to use the shortcut Alt+Left or Alt+Right to switch windows/channels in weechat-curses.
    When doing Alt+Left it displays '3D' and Alt+Right displays '3C' but it will not switch to the next window in the list.
    I'm sure there has to be an option somewhere to toggle this behaviour but I'm not sure what it could be.

    preferences -> edit current profile -> keyboard.
    Simply disable the hotkeys there

    Hey there Logic Pro21,
    It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
    Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
    Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
    See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
    Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
    If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
    Start Logic with a different project template
    Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
    Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Restart the computer.
    Isolate an issue by using another user account
    For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
    Reinstall Logic Pro X
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
    In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
    Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
    Open the Mac App Store
    Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
    Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
    Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
    Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.
