[SOLVED] Guake terminal GTK3

Hi,
Could someone help me with a PKGBUILD for the GTK3 branch of the Guake drop down terminal?
It can be found on: https://github.com/Guake/guake/tree/gtk3
As a template I've used the AUR "guake-git" PKGBUILD. I also adjusted the dependancies, but I'm not sure about the build options.
pkgname=guake-gtk3
pkgver=86bc3a20fd
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Top-down terminal for Gnome"

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I've changed the code to this:

[SOLVED] Reverting Guake terminal tab names back to 'Terminal #'

The new version of Guake (0.4.3) implemented 'Better Tab Titling'. This means that instead of a new tab name being 'Terminal #' (where # is an auto incrementing integer), it instead forced the title to be equal to the VTE prompt.
My issues were that there was no way to set a preference to switch back (as I prefer the simple tab name) and that tab names could/would take a very large amount of space (as it would put my whole username@server:/path/to/where/i/am/at).
So I figured out how to fix and thought I'd share in case anyone else would like to switch back:
NOTE: I believe python is spacing-sensitive (please correct me if I'm wrong). All the lines (added/edited) are indented 8 spaces.
edit /usr/bin/guake
find: self.selected_tab = None
after that line, add:
# holds the number of created tabs. This counter will not be
# reset to avoid problems of repeated tab names.
self.tab_counter = 0
find: def on_terminal_title_changed(self, vte, box):
after that line add:
return
find: Adding a new radio button to the tabbar
the next line will read:
label = box.terminal.get_window_title() or _("Terminal")
change to:
label = box.terminal.get_window_title() or _('Terminal %s') % self.tab_counter
find self.tabs.pack_start(bnt, expand=False, padding=1)
after that line add:
self.tab_counter += 1
After editing the file, restart Guake for the change to take effect.
Beemer

I have been using Guake for years and I think the tab bar is in the way. I disabled it a very long time ago and didn't look back.
Here are the shortcuts that I use:
"~" to toggle it.
Ctrl+T for a new tab (just like in Firefox, Chromium).
F1 and F2 for next and previous tab.
F3 close tab.
Basically, I don't need more than two tabs at a time; three tops, in very rare cases.
Hope it helps.

[SOLVED] Guake won't open (GNOME 3.4 update?)

[EDIT]: This was solved by reinstalling (remove even config files and reinstall of GNOME 3.4)
Hello
Today (as always) i turned my PC on and i had a problem... well, several of them. In this one, i want to ask how to solve this:
I tried to open Guake, but nothing happened. Then, i tried to open it from a Terminal and this is the output:
** (process:1632): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
** (process:1632): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
** (process:1632): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
Segmentation fault
The Segmentation fault occurs when i hit F12 (the default key to use Guake)
I have had a problem too with Chromium, it appears to say the same Segmentation fault when i type in the address bar (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1096044 for more info).
Thanks for your help.

Is it a problem with some GNOME libraries? How can i downgrade GNOME to its 3.2 version? (or its "3.4.0" version?)

[Solved] Gnome-terminal does not start (fresh install)

Whenever I install gnome-terminal, I have the following message displayed:
(gconftool-2:28984): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
Then whenever I launch gnome-terminal I have this message:
** (gnome-terminal:1102): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited' failed
The problem seems to be related to dbus. I have even tried guake which complains explicitly about "No D-BUS daemon running".
Systemctl is telling me that d-bus is up and running.
Any help appreciated.

[SOLVED] TTY terminal font not displaying correctly

Solved, see Edit 2 for solution.
Begin original post:
Hi everyone,
When I login to any TTY console on my system (i.e. by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 and loging with my user name and password), the [user@hostname ~]$ is all gibberish; it looks something like this:
┌─[\[\e[31;1m\]\u@\[\e[32;1m\]\H\[\033[1;37m\]] \n\[\033[1;37m\]└─[\[\033[0;36m\]\w\[\033[1;37m\]]> \[\e[0m\]
Note: The user name and password prompts display correctly, as well as any commands that I enter (such as pacman -Syu), just the text preceding where I enter commands in messed up. Also, graphical terminal emulators such as xfce4-terminal do not have this issue.
I have researched this for a while, and I found a Post that outlines the same issue I am having. Unfortunately, the solution is for init.d and rc scripts, so it obviously will not work with Systemd.
Also, no other distro has this problem on my system, even a clean install of Arch works properly. This leads me to believe that a config file is messed up somewhere.
Does anybody know how to translate the above fix to a Systemd solution so I do not have to deal with wonky virtual consoles?
Thanks

Edit: I just tried logging in as root, and it worked fine, everything was normal, so maybe it is some configuration file for my user specifically.
Edit 2: I fixed it. The problem happened to be in my ~/.profile config file. A while ago, I had bashish installed, but have since removed it. It left some settings in .profile that caused the console to act the way described above.
All I did to fix this was to change this:
# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP
# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH
BASHISHDIR="/usr/local/share/bashish" ## line added by bashish
TTY=`tty 2>/dev/null` && if test "x$BASHISHDIR" != x;then ## line added by bashish
test "$BASHISH_OLDPATH"||BASHISH_OLDPATH="$PATH" ## line added by bashish

export BASHISH_CP BASHISH_OLDPATH TTY ENV ## line added by bashish
. "$BASHISHDIR/main/prompt/sh/init" ## line added by bashish

to this (I commented out the commands):
# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
#unset TERMCAP
# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
#unset MANPATH
#BASHISHDIR="/usr/local/share/bashish" ## line added by bashish

[solved] xfce4-terminal spam after update to util-linux 2.25-3

I use the setterm command inside a file in /etc/profile.d so that I can prevent the screen from blanking when using a console, along with a couple of other things.
After the latest update to util-linux (2.25-3), whenever I open xfce4-terminal these lines show up:
setterm: terminal xterm does not support --blength
setterm: terminal xterm does not support --bfreq
setterm: terminal xterm does not support --blank
[gilmoreja@JamesPC ~]$
Is there a better way to handle making sure setterm runs when a console is used, but not necessarily when a terminal is opened? Or is there some other way to solve this issue? There doesn't seem to be a switch for setterm for any kind of "quiet mode."
Last edited by gilmoreja (2014-08-06 18:36:28)

I think that the shell started in a console is a login shell, and it is not the case in a graphical terminal.
A login shell has a '-' at the start of $0; so you can test that and condition the execution of the setterm commands:
if [[ $0 == '-bash' ]]; then
setterm ...
setterm ...
fi

[SOLVED] keeping terminal window open for scrot keyboard shortcut

Hey,
Im trying to bind a keyboard shortcut to scrot with the -s command (for selecting window). Normal scrot command works fine straight away, but with the -s command a terminal window needs to be open that waits for the selection. i have created a file called lscrot with the following code:
1 #!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/terminal --working-directory=$HOME/dump/ --geometry 0x0-0-0 -e "/usr/bin/scrot -s"
i have put the file in /usr/bin folder with 755 permissions.
if i right click the file and choose "execute", the new terminal window will stay open and i can select an area to take a screenshot of, but when i bind it to a shortcut key (using xfce) the new terminal window will close immediately rendering the shortcut useless.
how does one fix this?
thanks
Last edited by iOfWhy (2012-06-10 13:41:55)

hmmm, ok. binding keys to /usr/bin/scrot works fine, but /usr/bin/scrot -s does not. dont really know where to begin searching for a fix...
EDIT: im assuming there is something elementary i am missing. after further testing, launching for example scrot ~/dump/test.png from console works fine, but not when i bind it to a keyboard shortcut. however, scrot test.png works to bind. does anyone know anything more about XFCe and binding keyboard shortcuts?
EDIT2: ok so im honing in a little bit, i realised that the first times i use the keyboard shortcut it works. forcing the terminal window to stay open after command has been executed i see following error:
giblib error: couldn't grab keyboard:Resource temporarily unavailable
Searching the net i found old bug that was closed without (seemingly) being solved.
https://groups.google.com/group/linux.d … 2056017d9a
Any ideas?
EDIT3: ok so found a solution, "sleep". Adding sleep 0.1 to the top of the screenshot script seemed to help. seems you need to give sometime to release the keyboard for scrot to use. would still be great if anyone knew how to get it to work by using a direct command in the keyboard shortcut bindings. ie binding in straight to "scrot -s". using Alt+F2 then typing in scrot -s works fine, so i really dont see why i cant bind a keyboard command straight to that.
NOTE: how do i see xsession errors? I find no .xsession-errors file in my home directory. been searching for months.

[SOLVED]Which terminal is right for me?

Please help me choose a good terminal. I have viewed a couple of posts, but haven't found what I have been looking for.
I'm looking for the following features in a terminal:
* Copy with CTRL+INSERT, paste with SHIFT-INSERT. (On my computer, I cannot middle click.) These keys are actually as standard as CTRL+C and CTRL+V - Unfortunately xterm doesn't support them.
* If you have the terminal open in Window 1, and you open a new terminal in Window 2, it should appear in Window 2. (LXTerminal opens in Window 1 like gedit.)
* When you press CTRL+Left and CTRL+Right, you skip through typed words left and right. Similar to vi's "w" and "b".... Almost all GUI programs have this feature. (rxvm terminal doesn't.)
* I would prefer not having a menu bar, as that takes up space.
* I do not care for transparency.. it actually gets in the way.
* I do not care for tabs.. I'm using a tiled window manager.
* I do not care for a scroll bar. (Just use SHIFT+PageUp, SHIFT+PageDown.)
* Speed is of importance... usually terminals are pretty fast though...
As you can see, my needs for a terminal are relatively simple.. I would expect the top three "features" that I ask for to be present in all standard GUI programs, but for some reason they are not.
Does anybody know of a terminal that can do what I noted?
Thank you,
LiteHacker

No prob. Sakura is my favorite terminal. You can keep it simple, or even do transparency and tabbing with it as well.

[SOLVED] Xfce terminal open links with wrong browser.

After installing Opera as second browser, xfce terminal began to open links with it, instead of my default browser - Firefox.
I right click on an URL, choose 'Open Link' and it opens in Opera.
Firefox is set as default browser in Settings -> Preferred Applications -> Web Browser
xdg-open http://archlinux.org
- opens Firefox
exo-open http://archlinux.org
- opens Firefox
After quick search through xfce terminal sources i found it uses some function - gtk_show_uri.
I googled it, found that topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140028 and tried the solution:
cat ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox-browser.desktop
strangely it doesn't help.
After all righ click url in terminal and 'Open Link' still uses Opera.
Any ideas? What else can i do to find out a reason?

and before that some other non existing files, but i dont see there any familiar config files.

[SOLVED] Arch terminal issues

Having some trouble with my terminal in Arch. I currently have Arch running with i3 and using Terminator emulating xterm. Everything is fine except something is causing the terminal instance to wrap the cursor way too earlier (before the end of the columns) and it wraps back to the start of the line rather than the beginning of a new line. I'm not sure how this would have happened or if there is some option to fix this. It works fine when I have no seperate tiles, adding vertical tiles causes the weird word wrap but horizontal tiling doesn't affect it. It's almost like its trying to programmatically figure out the word wrap point but gets halved with you add vertical tiles
Thanks for any help!

[SOLVED] GNOME terminal is completely blank

When I open the gnome terminal, it is completely blank, not the usual "$ user@computer". Any ideas?

Haha, silly me, the text was black on a black background. Gee do I feel stupid. Closing.

[SOLVED] gnome-terminal 3.12 won't start

After I upgraded to gnome 3.12, I my terminal refused to start with the error "Message did not receive a reply". It turns out that the issue was that I had previously installed vte3-mosh-fix from the AUR, and the new version of gnome-terminal was incompatible with that old version of vte3. Running "pacman -S vte3" fixed the problem for me. (And I think that mosh fix has been incorporated into the latest version too.) Posting in case anyone else runs into this.

The patch was indeed merged into the upstream, it's the only reason I haven't updated the PKGBUILD.

[SOLVED] gnome-terminal won't start

Well, first of all good day and thanks in advance.
gnome-terminal is not launching. I get:
ERROR:terminal-app.c:1433:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->system_font_desc != NULL)
This started with no particular trigger, and now i am using aterm, but i like better gnome-terminal, so any help would be appreciated.

Seems like a font issue, try this:
gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Default
Else you can try editing the settings using gconf-editor.

[SOLVED] gnome-terminal initial path

Recently my gnome-terminal initial path became "/" instead of my home. How can I fix that? I haven't this problem when I use xterm or log in out of Xorg.
Thank you

Then it's probably gnome/gnome terminal's fault.
Check every settings tab in gnome-terminal..,see if there's an option to set initial folder path
If not, adding a "cd ~/" on the first line of your ~/.bashrc could also do the trick (assuming you use bash as a shell)

[SOLVED] The terminal in the Arch installation

I've notice that the terminal in the Arch installation has interesting features: the TAB autocompletion shows lots of information, typing a command and using up/down arrow only navigates through the history of this command... I love it. I'm using Arch with LXDE and its lxterminal does not have those features. Is it possible to install the Arch-installation terminal in LXDE? Or maybe adapt lxterminal someway? Thanks.
