Ubuntu Terminal

I am reading a gnuplot pdf FAQ. In section 3.13 it says: "This requires you to write contours into a temporary file using the table terminal." Then I google and all I get is terminal-table. It says: install terminal-table by applying this command:

Quote:
$ sudo gem install terminal-table
What is it all about? What is a table terminal? What is a terminal-table? It looks like terminal table is to print tables in a terminal, right?

Thanks, - A.

I've just installed Arch, and Installed and configured openbox and gnome terminal. Openbox starts, firefox works, but when I try to start gnome terminal, I curser spins for a moment and then it doesnt load.

I've tried to find a resolution to this but I'm not seeing much relevant to this specific scenerio. Also, this is my first time ever installing Arch, or any distro without a graphic installer or a kickstart script. My experience is pretty basic. I've used ubuntu/mint/centos for quite a while but figured this will be a good way to get me learning.

After I post this I am going to reboot to get back to command line and look at the installation and maybe install another terminal and see if this makes much a difference.

When I bring up Linux Ubuntu I would like to get a login prompt and choose as whom to log in. Then I would like to say startX or something like that and to get into X-windows. As I am in X-windows I would like to, do a right mouse click or something and chose “open a new terminal” or something. I used to do that all back over decade ago. Then I haven’t used Linux for over a decade. Now I got a box with Ubuntu, but …

When I bring it up I automatically get logged in as “Owner” and I get into interface that limits what I can do. Specfically, I don’t see how to become a different user, how to get into command line mode, how to run X-windows and open multiple terminal windows. And I would like to decide myself when to invoke some fancy GUI interface, instead of being forced into it..

I found one way to do some of what I want: ctl-alt-functionkey. But when I log in and do startX from there the right mouse click does not give me “open new terminal” option.

Could somebody help me out? Thank you very much in advance.

I have downloaded the JMRI/Decoder Pro package. When I go to open Decoder Pro I get the screen which asks, Run in Terminal, Display, ,?, and Run. If I select Run I get no response, If I select Run in Terminal The Terminal screen flashes for only a second and dissapears.

I have not been able to get an Icon to launch the program from my desktop.

I am usung Linux Mint 16 (Petra)3.11.0-12 generic (MATE) 1.6.1

JMRI is the standard download for Linux from Source . org.

I am new to both Linux (3 yrs) JMRI had worked with it some in Windows, Totally new in Linux.

I don't know what else to include, I'll be happy to answer questions.

How to do via terminal.I don't wanna via Ftp client.only via terminal command.

I rescently installed Ubuntu 14.10 (AMD64) on my ASUS X53U (CPU: Brazos Dual Core E350 1.6 GHz GPU: HD 6310M, 3GB RAM) I downloaded Steam from the website, installed it, got some errors and managed to ruin everything (low res, really slughish) by just pasting commands into the terminal that seemed to make sense while I actaully had no idea what I was doing.
So I "threw everything out the window" and installed the OS fresh again.
Everything is fresh. All I have done is run the software updater and installed Grub Customizer so I can access Windows 7. (don't even have Steam installed)
So what are the exact steps on setting up all the OpenGL stuff and getting TF2 to run? (simply things to paste in the terminal would be best)
The most helpful person gets a game of their choice on Steam for under 10 euros.
I know that it should be possible to find everything myself but I just don't have the time or intelligence for that. That's why I would rather just have someone else spend time helping me and buy them a game for their efforts.

Hi guys, my computer is downstairs in the cold basement and I wanted a way to practice my online terminal course in the comfort of my rocking chair upstairs in the pleasant surroundings. I downloaded a terminal app for the iPad and it's asking me for some info. Could any of you tell me where to find it please?

Host - I typed in host name into the terminal and it gave me the details at the prompt.

Username - which username? Do I make one up or the username for the computer I'm trying to log into? How do I find the username?

Password - which password? The one to log into my home?

I guess these things work via some network/ remote thingy??????? It's not bluetooth so Im guessing I need to somehow log into that computer as a guest or admin or something?

I am using debian 7.7 stable and when I open the root terminal it asks for the password.

But if I open it again, I get the message: 'Granted permissions without asking for password. The /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator program was started with the privileges of the root user without the need to ask for a password, due to your system's authentication mechanism setup'.

Oh, really? Because I don't remember setting up any 'authentication mechanism setup'.
How can I change this so the root terminal always asks for the password?
Do I have a trojan already? Because I installed the OS just a few days ago.

Thanks very much.
