Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] updating/modifying gnome-terminal title from the command line?

[Jerry Kemp]

Thanks for the feedback Alan,

I use c shell as my interactive shell, but as I test your prompt variable, I see 
that it sets both the shell prompt and the window title.

/bin/echo -n "\033]2;your-tab-title-here\007"

This works, but is a little cumbersome.


I've had this in my ~/.cshrc for tcsh for longer that I can remember (since tcsh
was the hot new shell, before zsh, fish, etc. became newer and cooler):

if ($?prompt) then
 if ($?tcsh) then
 if (($term == xterm) || ($term == vs100) || ($term == dtterm)) then
 set prompt='%{\e]2\;%n@%m:%~^g\e]1\;%n@%m^g\r%}%B%n@%m:%b%~ [%t -

 else
 set prompt='%B%n@%m:%b%~ [%t - %h] '
 endif

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] donations - WAS::::: I got USB3.0 xhci finally working on Illumos (in this case on OI/Hipster).

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Martin,

I don't/will not use paypal.

Do you accept donations by any other method?  If so, please share.

Thanks,

Jerry

On my Tablet I now have USB3 / xhci not only on booted Sol11.3 but also on 
OpenSolaris.

I didn't login for 3 days because as always  I worked for free and unpaid on 
OpenSolaris.
Now I wanted to have a look how many folks have given me at least some pennies 
back fro my more than half of a year of work on KMS.

As it turned out: 0.0 arrived on my Paypal account.
Including the misc. promised "donations" including the most recent promis from 
Ken mays - no Cent.


Now, enough is enough.
Who wants to find out how he can get USB3 working pays me.
Under these circumstances I won't share my research anymore.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] updating/modifying gnome-terminal title from the command line?

[Jerry Kemp]

I spend a good part of my life at a shell prompt in a Gnome terminal.

I frequently have a lot of tab's open, and it is helpful for me to set the title 
for each tab to some unique setting.


I fired up duckduckgo, and after some searches, I came up with this, as a way to 
set the tab title from the command line:


/bin/echo -n "\033]2;your-tab-title-here\007"

This works, but is a little cumbersome.

Wondering if there is some more elegant and/or more official way to set the 
title from the command line?  Yes, I know I can set the title by using the 
rodent and


Terminal->set title

and I'm not asking about that.

Specifically, I'm wondering if there are other/better methods to set the title 
from the shell prompt aside from the method shown above.  If it is in the man 
page, I'm missing it.


Thank you,

Jerry

Unfortunately, when you have both Gnome 2 and Mate installed, both
of them try to use the same applications, so you'll have interesting
time removing Gnome 2 applications from Mate and vice versa.


Is it possible to have both installed but select which one to run?  I
recall that at one time, Solaris 10 offered both CDE and Gnome
desktops.  You could select the one your preferred from the login
screen.  Something similar for OI might be useful.



Yes, of course.
If you install mate_install meta-package, it will pull in lightdm DM.
If you don't need it and would like to use gdm, you can uninstall 
mate_install, ligthdm and system/display-manager/lightdm/gtk-greeter  .

Hi all,

I am running both (and can pick any of them) :-)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Mate is here (as well as new test ISOs)

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Gary,
The menu option would suffice for a something minimalistic like IceWM 1.3.8 
versus MATE.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Patience

[the outsider]

Hi,

 

We are running a 24/7 business with several OI servers and zones. 

Today I am in our datacentre suite and I discovered that I forgot my laptop.
Because I am waiting for replacement parts of one of our servers I thought I
could play a game of patience on one of the servers. 

The server is a dual 8 core with 128GB RAM and 48 SSD drives, so that should
do it. 

 

But I discovered now that it has an Intel graphics card..

 

Is there any chance that I could play patience on this machine?
