Terminal problems

Hi everyone,
Every time I open terminal I get the message below. This only happens in one account in the computer, it does not happen in other accounts. I will appreciate any help to fix the problem. I have a mac book pro, keyboard in spanish, and I am using leopard 10.5.1, but the problem is coming since tiger, I emigrate users from an old mac book pro with tiger.
The message is as follows:
Last login: Sun Jan 20 08:37:00 on ttys000
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Macintosh:~ javier$

If I go to Terminal-> Preferences _> settings and UNFLAG the last sentence "Set LANG environment variable on startup" then it works … now the sentence that appear in terminal changed a little bit
Well, in the Advanced Settings, I have the "Set LANG environment variable on startup" checkbox ticked, and the "International character encoding is set to "Unicode (UTF-8)". In the "Shell" tab, under "Startup" the "Run command" is unchecked and the text box is empty. My environment has the required locale settings:
macbook:~ michaelc$ echo $LC_ALL
macbook:~ michaelc$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8
I don't see any change in your Terminal output between your first post and your latest one?
Also, you don't mention what you have set in Terminal > Preferences > Startup, which is what I referred to in my previous post.

Database termination Problem

Hi every body ..plz help me on this..
We are facing database termination problem in ECC6 production syste.
Database: Oracle 10.2, O/S: Windows 2003. Spam :27, SP level 13.
Error is:
Errors in file f:\oracle\p02\saptrace\background\p02_ckpt_6520.trc:
ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF'
ORA-27072: File I/O error
OSD-04008: WriteFile() failure, unable to write to file
O/S-Error: (OS 33) The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.
When we are performing backup then data base termination occuring freequently.
Give right solution as early as possible.
Thanks,
Nani.

Hi,
Have a look at below snote which actually speaks about the oracle error codes
Snote : 546006
within the Snote it says :-
" If you cannot access a database file (for instance a data file, control file or RedoLog) for whatever reason, an ORA-270xx appears. The actual cause comes from additional error messages (usually in the operating system) that occur on ORA-270xx. "
And as per your last update
" ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF' "
i think there is problem accessing the database control file. Hence you are facing the above problem.
I think if you recreate your control file i think, it should resolve the problem.
Hope it will be helpful to resolve your problem.

Weird Terminal problem with AIX

Hi,
I have kind of an odd problem with the Terminal.app that I hope someone can assist me in figuring out.
I'm connecting to an AIX 5.3 server and the top portion of the window is always "cut off". It's there, it's just one screen up in the buffer and I can't figure out why. I can connect with iTerm and things display appropriately.
Below is a link to a side by side picture of Terminal.app (left) and iTerm (right). If I scroll up in the Terminal.app buffer, I can see the missing lines from the top of the screen.

Thanks,
Andy

Minor point: would you please fill in your Forum profile information, at least the Mac OS X operating system version.
I'm currently using Leopard and I can reproduce this problem in Terminal vs iTerm. I used your script output (thank you) in order to generate the escape sequences.
BY THE WAY, if the script output contains any sensitive login info, you might want to change your password on the Pharamcy OSU system
It looks like there is a Terminal problem handling Scrolling Regions as set by <esc>[1;24r. It looks like <esc>[0J is not erasing from the current cursor position to the end of the display, but rather it starts the erase above the current cursor position. The erase behavior without a scrolling region appears better, but not perfect.
I would encourage you to file a bug with Apple at either:
<http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
or
<http://bugreporter.apple.com>
Free ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account needed for BugReporter
The BugReporter would be better.
If you want, I have a little script that can be used to demonstrate the problem
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo -e "e[1;24re[He[0Je[He[0Je[?6he[1;24re[He[0Jc"
for j in {1..3}
do
echo BEFORE should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
for j in {4..23}
do
echo FILLER should be erased $j $j $j $j $j
done
echo -e "e[4;24re[He[0Jc"
for j in {4..23} # our next command prompt will be 24th line
do
echo AFTER should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
done
Here is example output from Terminal:
BEFORE should remain on screen 1 1 1 1 1
AFTER should remain on screen 4 4 4 4 4
AFTER should remain on screen 5 5 5 5 5

Statement terminator problems when exporting data with SQL Developer 3.2

I've ran across what appears to be a bug with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. If someone can let me know if this is indeed a bug, or just something I need to configure differently, please let me know.
The problem is related to exporting a database as a SQL script, and terminator characters at the end of "create" statements, especially when columns have comments, and problems that occur when using SQLPlus to run the export script to create the tables. With the old SQL Developer 1.5.4, with the "Terminator" and "Pretty Print" options checked, statements like the following are generated:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
When I then run the script using SQLPlus, everything works fine. However, with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09, with the same options enabled, the same statements are generated like this:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
Notice all of the extra slashes in there. If a slash is not used as a statement terminator, SQLPlus treats slashes as a command to repeat the last SQL statement, which causes many errors about tables or sequences already existing. So, I tried removing the "Terminator" flag from the export options. This lead to statements that looked a bit more promising:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.'
The big problem, though, is in the statement for the table with a comment. Notice that there are two statements, but there is not a semicolon after either of them. This unfortunately causes the "COMMENT" statement to be appended to the "CREATE TABLE" statement before being executed, which causes the table to not be created (which causes even more errors later on when the script attempts to populate the table with data).
So, it would appear that this is a bug, but I'm not sure. Is there a way I can configure the export options to make SQL Developer export these statements like it used to in older versions?
Thanks,
-Bill

That would be a bug. Thanks for reporting it and providing the detailed example.

No.
Leave the thread open. One of the developers for sql developer should be monitoring the forum and can provide more information.

Virtual terminal problems (konsole, lxterminal)

Hi,
I did not find the solution for my particular problem, where the virtual terminal can't connect to the bash execution.
I'm using arch linux including all repos [testing, community-testing], and after a update, I'm unable to run konsole or lxterminal. However, xterm does work. I'm using kde 4 enviorment.
Whenever I run konsole from xterm I get:
$ konsole
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
konsole(3236)/kdecore (KPty/K3Process) KPty::open: Can't open a pseudo teletype
konsole(3236) Konsole::Pty::flowControlEnabled: Unable to get flow control status, terminal not connected.
An konsole window appears, but no prompt or anything. If I do an ps -A | grep bash it gives an bash execution not connected anywhere:
3288 ? 00:00:00 bash
if I kill it, then this message appears on the konsole terminal:
Warning: Program '/bin/bash' crashed.
I did search for it before, and found out the topic Terminal not running, but my devpts and shm are mounted correctly.

Then I think the problem is related to the merging of all applications into "/usr/bin". "/bin/bash" kind of doesn't exist anymore.
Did you read the Arch Linux announcements before updating?
If you do think that's the problem, then I don't know what you can do to fix it. I'm not smart enough. I'd probably just reinstall the OS.

Gnome-terminal problems

Hi there,after upgrade to gnome-terminal 3.12.1-1,I found some errors appears :
First, when I want to open a new terminal use my custom shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+T,sometimes it will make the whole screen freeze, and I have to switch to another TTY to kill it.Then I check my system log, there are many warnings like:
org.gnome.Terminal[958]: (gnome-terminal-server:7346): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_weak_unref: couldn't find weak ref 0x7faec0b2c420(0x14e1550)
Is there something wrong ?I also try to compile it by myself , but it gives a warning:
server.c: In function ‘main’:
server.c:113:5: warning: ignoring return value of ‘chdir’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
(void) chdir ("/");
^
are all the problems caused by this ?How could I handle this, can anyone fix that?Thanks for your works.Sorry for my poor English.

That compiler warning is probably benign (harmless). The function appears to change the working directory and then return a void pointer. The pointer is not used because, apparently, in this case it is not needed.

Oracle Terminal problem

I have a problem running Oracle Terminal in command-line mode on Linux. I am very familiar with Oracle Terminal on Windows, but not with Linux. Unfortunately, I need to support Oracle Forms6i on Linux in character mode for the hand-held, wireless, bar-code scanners we use in our warehouse. They have a very limited keypad and we want to change a couple of the default key mappings for Oracle Forms6i on Linux.
I opened a TAR on this issue (3595315.999) a couple weeks ago, but so far it has not been resolved.
Does anyone know where to find documentation for running Oracle Terminal for Forms6i on Linux in character mode?
Or, does anyone know if the conversion utilities exist for Windows to convert the Oracle Terminal resource files from binary to text and vice versa. I have these utilities for Linux, but not for Windows. If I could get those for Windows, I could transfer the Linux resource file to Windows, edit it there and transfer it back.

It's look like a joke. When I change NLS_LANG from POLISH_POLAND to AMERICA_AMERICAN in Developer Home everything start fine with English menu but... work heeehhhh........
Thx For Right Direction :)))

Terminal problem in leopard

Hey, i copied his over from the general forum
i did a fresh install on my macbook, and i reinstalled all my dev environment. I had some trouble with this and i may have messed something up in the process, but basically i have no prompt and it says login in the titlebar. thisafter i installed mysql, set up apache the way i need with virtual hosts, added stuff to my hosts file, and installed the fixed leopard mysql prefpane (plus someother stuff like setting up root password).
The only .bash file i have in my home directory is .bash_history

I'm ran into the same problem. When I ran 'sudo mysqld_safe5 &', it would kill my Terminal in exactly the way you describe. Turns out the 'sudo' was still hanging around, I was able to kill the 'sudo' processes via Activity Monitor (maybe sure you show 'All Processes'), after that I had my terminal back. Launching Mysql at boot via launchd worked for me: http://hivelogic.com/articles/installing-mysql-on-mac-os-x/, skip to "Auto-Starting Mysql" if you already have Mysql installed.
Good luck!

Non-GUI Terminal problem.

I am having a problem with the terminal at boot (not the terminal emulator). I could have sworn there was a cursor/insertion point (aka flashing vertical bar) in command line. But now whenever I boot into command line, the insertion point is gone.

I know of no such thing but I am told the hardware sometimes does its own.

Terminal problem

Hi.
I’ve got the problem with Terminal: commands are not working as they have to.
For example I want to get power management settings with this command: pmset -g
That’s what I see:
Gex-Mac:~ evgeny$ pmset -g
Active Profiles:
Battery Power -1
AC Power -1*
Currently in use:
Gex-Mac:~ evgeny$
It’s clear that information displayed is insufficient.
Also I can’t do some other things, such as: change hibernation mode, disable sudden motion sensor, etc.

"How to install Snow Leopard from an External Hard Drive"
* Launch Disk Utility
* Select the External Firewire/USB device that you want to use as the boot drive for the upgrade
* Click “Partition” from the menu options
* Select 1 Partition, then click “Options” below the partition scheme
* Select the top option for “GUID Partition Table” – it MUST be GUID to be bootable!
* Click OK to create the GUID partition (this will reformat the drive, ie: all data is lost)
* Next, click the “Restore” tab within Disk Utility
* Select your newly made Snow Leopard 10.6 Install DVD image and restore this image to the GUID partition you just created OR…
* Alternatively, you can select the Snow Leopard Install DVD and restore directly from the DVD to the GUID partition
* After the restoration is complete, your GUID partition will now be bootable by Mac OS X!
* Reboot the Mac holding down the “Option” key to pull up the boot loader, select the Snow Leopard install drive you just created rather than your default Mac OS hard drive
* Install Snow Leopard as usual!

Transparent gnome terminal problem

Hi there all archies!
I have a problem with transparency in gnome terminal. When using it without transparency it runs smoothly, but when i turn on the transparency all gets slow and i cant really use it.
I have tried both before and after nvidia-drivers installer but without any success. My graphic card is an nvidia 2 gts, and i am running gnome without kdelibs/qt installed.

yes, dri indeed! de-comenting it in XFree86Config did the trick. also, as a result everything looks nicer, and it appears to have fixed another minor bug i encoutered in gnome-term, which was while i scrolled up the text got all corupted. thanks dude. what is dri anyway?
uh, maybe i should start a new thread but i'll ask here anyway. mozilla runs fine as root but when i attempt to run it as any other user it does nothing. i mean i enter the command mozilla in a terminal and it doesn't do anything, no processes are started, nothing. it takes the command and promptly return s the next bash line without any comments or fatal error in melting process x0876w or whatever. i re-installed it with pacman (-R and again -Sy), no luck. any ideas?
thanks again

Terminal problem: Makes a mess of long commands

Recently my Terminal.app has been unable to handle long commands. Basically what happens is that when I write a command after the prompt that spans more than the rest of the line, instead of continuing on the next line it starts over on the same line. This makes a mess of course, and quickly makes the command illegible. When searching through the command history with the up and down arrow keys, things also get very messy.
Is this a known problem? Those I have asked say they experience similar things with their Terminal once in a while, but I'm seeing this all the time in my Terminal. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Delete this file /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist and see...
You really should be asking Terminal related questions in the Unix forum

How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
