[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

I tried out sakura. It works as described. Thank you.
No prob. Sakura is my favorite terminal. You can keep it simple, or even do transparency and tabbing with it as well.

how do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

You could try ringing apple and seeing if they will give you a model number for the battery and then find one on google. Or you may even be able to order one from apple themselves.
They have support numbers for all over the world, in case you don't have the number you need, this is the support number website with all the numbers all over the world:

Which method is right for creating directory

Hi all
whenever we create directory for oracle 11g during installtion
we have two method from documents
which method is right
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
or
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01

ORACLE_BASE is a base directory which is owned by oracle user. The software itself is installed in ORACLE_HOME. When you create ORACLE_HOME it creates you also ORACLE_BASE. That's the way to go. If you don't have ORACLE_HOME created Oracle Universal Installer might complain or fail.

[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

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.

How Do I Decide Which MacBook is Right For Me?

I am currently a high school senior and I have always had my heart set on a MacBook and my oldest sister has offered to buy me one for my graduation present.
My only problem is I am not too sure which one is the best for me. I know MacBooks in general, regaurdless of model, are all great quality, but I really want something that I can keep around for a few years to get me through whatever schooling I choose to go through and still have with me after. I am also a beauty blogger so I do a lot of typing and use the internet as if it were an extension of my body. I also upload lots of product photos from my camera to use on my blog and occasional editing is needed, but nothing to the extent that I have to use Photoshop or other advanced programs, only minor editing basics are used.
I know that I do want something fast for web surfing and something with enough room to store all of my music, pictures, and programs comfortably without an external hard drive. Portablitity is also a key feature, but I feel like both the Air and the Pro seem portable enough for my purposes, so it is still a toss-up. A cd/dvd drive would be a nice feature, but I am not too sure how often I would actually use it as I tend to store my music on my iPod and phone as opposed to on CDs. I also don't feel the need for a huge screen since I do want it to be portable, I have been looking into the 11in - 13in range.
Right now I am currently comparing the 13in. 2.5GHz MacBook Pro, 13in. MacBook Air, and the 11in. 1.7GHz MacBook Air. Even though this is coming as a gift to me, I still want to get the most bang for the buck, but if it sounds like I only need 64GB of storage, then I would have no problem going with the $999.00 MacBook Air.
But in the grande scheem of things, I just don't understand how much storage and speed would be best for me based on my usage.
Any suggestions on what model you think would fit me the best?

They pretty much explain themselves. The MacBook Air is for those who want a portable yet powerful Mac, where as the MacBook Pro is for those who want more power than the MacBook Air for gaming and photo editing and reliablity as they can last for plenty of years with good treatment, the one thing they lack is portability.
For just a blogger and student, a MacBook Air 13inch would be best as it's just the right size and power. As a blogger you'll need to take it where ever you go and I'm sure you're not going to use it for heavy impact gaming and large photo editing or video editing. If you are, then get the MacBook Pro.

I need help on deciding which camcorder is right for me....

I'm going into college early September and my professor wants me to practice making films.
I'm getting a MacBook Pro tomorrow along with Final Cut Express, now all I need is the right camcorder.
Unfortunately, $200 is my budget, and I need a camcorder (mini or not) that has great 1) video quality (HD) 2) low-light quality and 3) good zoom.
When I'm shooting, I also need to have good audio quality and be able to hear when I review what was shot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my tuppence-worth after three years of amateur videoing and several hours of edited video (not artistic stuff, just records of things happening).
1. Three years ago I was advised to get a mini-tape machine because FCE does not work well with non-tape machines. This was confirmed in this discussion group recently.
2. Three years ago I was advised not to get a Canon machine - not because they are not good but because FCE has difficulty working with them. Sonys were thought to work well. Others might confirm or update this.
3. Unless you like the awful current fad of continuously zooming in and out, in and out of focus and jiggling the camera purposely, use a tripod whenever you can, and failing that a monopod which is easy to carry attached to the camera and takes three seconds to position (assuming the legs are expanded). It greatly steadies the shot (but press it into the ground if outside to make sure that it does not jerk).
4. On light level sensitivity which you mention, my Sony DCR HC96 which cost much more than you want to pay (but all the cheaper versions in that range have the same level) the Minimum Illumination is 5 Lux (Lux is a measure of light intensity falling on a subject so obviously 0 Lux is total darkness). This allows me to shoot in remarkably low light levels conditions, so the 5 Lux figure will give you something to consider when looking at specifications.
5. My camera (but not the cheaper versions) has "Night Shot" which allows shooting in total darkness up to about 6 metres away using the infrared light on the camera.
6. It also has Sony's "SteadyShot" which compensates for rapid shake (but not hosepipe shots of course). This was tested when shooting on a tripod on a hill in very windy conditions when I had to brace myself. The camera was vibrating noticeably but there was no sign of that on the footage. (I don't know whether the anti-camera shake system was optical or electronic). The manual indicates that the cheaper versions in the range also have this.
7. Most beginners start by hosepiping (moving the camera all over the place to get everything in). My advice is to get that out of your system very quickly, and pan (s l o w l y) instead.
8. As often advised in this forum, start shooting a few seconds before and keep shooting a few seconds after the shot that you want. This is to allow for transitions at both ends (the dreaded "Handles" thing). Also, at events etc. which you cannot re-shoot, aim to shoot at least 5 to 10 times the footage that will survive the average editing process. Therefore, carry spare tapes (if you go for that type) and a spare charged battery.
9. I find that the cheaper the camera the greater the optical zoom. This might be due to the greater ease of designing a cheaper lens where compromises can be made. Beware Digital zoom — it doesn't add any extra info., just pixellates.
10. I find that Scaling up a video clip in FCE by more than a few percent degrades the image (probably because video cameras are designed to make footage that will be shown via a DVD or TV when the footage has to be greatly compressed, so a lot of pixels is not economic, but I am only guessing here). Do a (optical) zoom during the shoot or use a still taken with a still camera which will have more pixels than a video camera. You can always Scale in FCE and then pan using Motion.
11. You want to hear what you have just shot. I think that most cameras will allow this (in Play mode).
Hope this helps.

Which Language is right for the job?

Currently we have a LabVIEW application that a 3rd party vendor created specifically for our needs. This application handles all data logging and instrument control of a large printing press. There is a secondary program that was developed in-house that acts as the user interface to this LabVIEW program and communicated through DDE. My question centers around the fact the we are currently in the process of upgrading the functions of these two programs and would very much like to maintain only one development language. Should we do everything in LabVIEW or VB/C++ with Measeurement Studio? Can someone please point out some quick easy to understand benefits of using either language and which they feel would be a strong
er environment for a growing department. Thanks.

Well, you asked in a Labview group, so my answer is Labview.
Of course, it depends on what software you need written.
Here are my reasons.
1) If you require instrument control (DAQ etc), etc. labview is very very
good!
2) Development time in labview is very short, you can't beat it in the
speed in which you can go from initial architecture to final application.
3) It sounds like the majority of the code you mention is already in
labview.
It is easier to write "user interface" in labview than to write "instrument
control"
in CB/C++.
4) You can always hire labview programmers on contract. The NI Alliance is
good for this. (but of course, you can hire anyone you want for c++ too).

WRT110 vs. WRT54G2 - which one is right for me?

WRT110 is the speedbooster of the old WRT54GS, whereas WRT54G2 is the new WRT54G (no speedbooster). Our current home network exists just to enable all computers to have internet access, we do not do any file sharing between computers. Considering that, is there any reason to go with the speedbooster over the non-speedbooster version? Which one is more stable/reliable of the two (less dropped connections, random slowdowns, etc)?

Hey, thanks for the help but that is not our issue. We just don't share files from computer to computer, we just use the router to give all computers internet access.

Which CS is right for my MacBook Pro, without breaking the bank?

Which SSD is right for the X220?

I'm planning on buying an OCZ SSD for my X220, but I'm not too familiar with the technical aspects of the SSD's. For example, I looked over their website and found things like SATA III, USB 3.0, mSATA, Max IOPS, and etc. I have no idea what most of these terms mean and am not even sure if these work for my laptop, so can someone give me a quick explanation for this and show me a SSD model thats good to use on the X220? I'm mainly looking for something with 120 GB.
EDIT: I just read up somewhere that OCZ has reliability issues? Blue screen of death occurs often; is this true?

Hi,
OCZ from what I have read is not be best for reliability. They are the best for speed.
Reliability it's more Intel that have that reputation, but they was hit by a firmware bug that was causing 8mo issue. They have released a patch since then. But some people report that they still experience that issue on their forum... So who knows if it's fixed...
Crucial do the M4 series, they was know to have lag issue (like the computer hang for 30 secondes every 30 minutes) but they have fixed that issue in the firmware.
SATA I, II, III it's the speed of the port. Your thinkpad X220 support up to Sata III. So that mean that you can use a SATA II SSD and it will works (it will be slower then a SATA III drive). But on the day to day usage, you won't see any difference in speed between a SATA II and a SATA III drive.
mSATA it's an SSD with a different form factor, it's really small. You can add one like this in your X220. You have to install it under the keyboard (so it's a bit less user friendly to install). It's also slower then a regular SATA II or SATA III SSD. But it allow you to have it as a second drive in your X220.
USB3.0 have nothing to do with the SSD, it's simply the new gen of USB port that are faster then USB 2.0.
Max IOPS it's a unit to calculate the speed of the SSD. Don't bother much with that, any SSD will be fast enough to make you X220 boot under 20 secondes.
Personnally I went with an Intel 160gb SSD mostly because that Intel do the most reliable SSD. Reliability for me was more important then speed. But my "slow" Sata II Intel SSD score at 7,6 ... So it's really fast...
ThinkPad X220, I7 2620M, 8GB RAM, Intel 320 160GB SSD, IPS screen, USB 3.0, Bluethoot, Cam, Win 7 pro 64, BIOS: 1.17, Model: 4286-CTO, Fabrication date: 07/11

MacBooks are complex mechanical and electronic devices. Although Apple tries to have high standards, a few "bad apples" are going to squeak through. Apple hasn't released specific numbers, but it's entirely possible they've shipped nearly 2,000,000 MacBooks in the last year. I would not call four people posting here a problem with MacBooks falling apart.
Remember that the Apple Discussions is specifically for people who are having problems. You're not going to see any posts here from the 1,999,996 other MacBook owners who didn't have a problem. So don't think that the troubles you read here are indications that everyone with a MacBook is having a problem.
It's also likely that Apple is selling quite a few more white MacBooks than black MacBooks. So, even if twice as many people with white MacBooks are posting trouble here, that doesn't mean the same problem is less likely with a black MacBook. It means there's just fewer of them to begin with.
Stating that there is a problem with white MacBooks falling apart is misinformation.

Which Netbook is right for you? Read here for suggestions.

With the popularity of Netbooks on the rise, its important to pay attention to all the features that you possibly might be getting before purchasing.
Many of them ship with Linux. This configuration is fine for people who are just doing basic internet surfing, managing photos, and doing some webcam chatting. However, these models do not run Windows programs and they are quite limited in storage capacity. Were talking about 3 to 4 gigabytes of storage.
In short, its fine for the basic user. If you are a power user, consider getting the Acer Netbooks with a large capacity drive. They have Windows on them and are suitable for people who demand more features then Linux can offer and you can install lots of programs.
When buying a Netbook with Windows, you really want to purchase an external burner or drive to install programs on it. You might want to buy memory cards and other peripherals as well.
