The 'Configure, ' Resource', 'Cache' column in the output of '-debug
all' are the 'domain' of the log events.  ImageMagick has a lot of
complicated internal moving parts, and one of them is for caching data
structures between parts.  Those lines that mention Cache are just the
log events corresponding to the Cache domain.  Its not really
something you should concern yourself with unless you're debugging
ImageMagick.

[CentOS] screen shot centos 7

[Jerry Geis]

HI All,

I have some remote computers - at times I issue commands to take screen
shots.
I use xwd -silent -root or import -silent -window root  to do so.
It seems at times the screen capture is the actual current content.
It might be a previous displayed item etc...

Anyone ran across this or thoughts ?

Re: [CentOS] Screen

[xaos]

Andrew,

Don't do it man. Don't remap screen key sequences.

I had the same issue. This is how I ultimately solved it.
I mentally trained myself to think of screen
as a room that I need to do a Ctrl-A in order to get in there.

So, for bash, It is NOT a big deal anyway. Train your fingers to do a
Ctrl-A then a

It is just one extra keystroke.

I got used to it within a week.

If you only make simple use of screen, then there's always tmux.  It uses
ctl+b by default, and one of the reasons is the issue you mention.

Of course you can send CTRL+a to application in screen by pressing

Re: [CentOS] Screen

[Matt Garman]

If you're just getting starting with a screen multiplexer, I'd suggest
starting with tmux.  My understanding is that GNU screen has
effectively been abandoned.

I used GNU screen for at least 10 years, and recently switched to
tmux.  As someone else said, in GNU screen, if you want to send ctrl-a
to your application (e.g. shell or emacs), you can do ctrl-a followed
by a "naked" a.  I found this becomes so second nature, for the rare
time I'm not in screen/tmux, I habitually do the Ctrl-a a sequence!

tmux's default "action" sequence is Ctrl-b.  Even without my history
of Ctrl-a muscle memory, I think I'd find Ctrl-b awkward.  I briefly
tried to get used to it so I could live without a custom tmux config
file, but just couldn't do it.  So, here's my small ~/.tmux.conf file:


# remap Ctrl-b to Ctrl-a (to emulate behavior of GNU screen)
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-a
bind C-a send-prefix

# use vi-like keybindings
set-window-option -g mode-keys vi

# emulate GNU screen's Ctrl-a a sequence to jump to beginning of
# line
bind a send-prefix

Indeed it is quite easy.  In you ${HOME}/.screenrc file, add the following:

escape ^Zz

This would change your escape sequence to CTRL+Z.  I had to do something 
similar on a server that was running minicom and could not change the escape in 
minicom as it was used by many for so long that muscle memory would have been a 
big hill to climb!

[CentOS] Screen refresh seems to fail until I move the window

[Rob Kampen]

Hi List,
Over the last month or so I have noticed a problem that seems to be 
becoming more noticeable.
Initially I noticed this on Thunderbird and Firefox and assumed (yeah 
that makes an ass out of u and me) it was related to mozilla updates to 
these products. As I was working mainly with email and the browser, I 
did not notice it also affects other products.


What happens is this: I delete an email, initially nothing changes on 
the screen, in fact the screen only updates if I do any of the following 
(not an exhaustive list)

press the down arrow to move onto the next email
click on the title bar and move the window
move the mouse to the bottom pane and use the scroll wheel - this will 
update this pane to the next email content, but fails to update the 
email header pane

click on some other folder
etc.
OR
working in gedit with multiple tabs (files) open. click to close a tab - 
nothing happens until I click on the title bar and move the window, or 
click onto another tab and then scroll in the edit pane 

OR
working in firefox, and a pop up dialog box opens, the screen locks but 
no dialog box visible until I move the window slightly, when it does a 
screen refresh and greys out the main window and reveals the pop up box.


Running on CentOS 6.5, fully up to date as of Sunday, with nvidia 
graphics using the kmod packages from elrepo.
I also use compiz as my ASUS GT640 PCI-E 2GB graphics card has lots of 
horse power and run two 22 monitors via DVI cables from the single 
graphics card.

Not sure what else is relevant
Not a show stopper, but starting to really bug me.
TIA for any ideas.

 Jeff,

 Light from the monitor, reflecting off of you, will often trigger changes in 
 the amount of light the ambient light sensor is seeing.

 Happens most with large changes like switching from a bright white (browser)

I'm not sure what 'a box sitting away from me' means.   the light sensor 
would be a feature of the LCD monitor, not the computer system (unless 
youre talking about a laptop where its all integrated).

shine a bright flashlight at and around the monitor, including down from

[CentOS] screen saver unlock dialog window is not visible in clone mode

[DarkKnight BrightWarrior]

Hi,

Environment:
I am using CentOS 5.3 operating system. I upgraded xorg of centos to 7.3.
I am using intel 945 GM board. My xorg server version is 1.4.2 and inetl
driver version 2.4.3.
gnome-screensaver version is 2.16.1-8.el5.

Problem:
I connected another system of same hardware using VGA output. Now I can see
clone of my system on secondary display.
I enabled screensaver with 1 minute period and also enabled locking feature
using gnome-screensaver-preferences.
After 1 minute screensaver appeared on both primary and secondary displays.
But when I move mouse or press any key, Screen saver unlock dialog is not
appearing.
But when I type password, I am able to comeout of screensaver. So Screensver
unlock dialog is there but it is not visible.
When I remove secondary display, I mean when I am in single display mode
screen saver unlock dialog is visible and working fine.
So what could be the problem that causing screensaver unlock dialog window
to appear/visible in clone/extended monitor mode.

Please help.

Don't. do that if you don't have to. You're trying to marry a far
updated component to an out of date OS. *At least* update to CentOS
5.5 before proceeding, to avoid out-of-date component and kernel
issues which Xorg 7.3 may rely on without even your knowledge.

I've done precisely this kind of thing several times of the last 20
years, and you can save a lot of pain by making sure your base OS is
up to date.

 I connected another system of same hardware using VGA output. Now I can see

[CentOS] screen saver crash

[ganu MailList]

My screen saver crash both in gnome and kde X windows when open the screen
saver.

I guess that some package needed is not installed.

I reinstall the gnome-screen but it still crashs.  How can I check which

[CentOS] Screen capture in Terminal

[Robert Moskowitz]

I don't see how to do it.

I had to telnet into a firewall and run a trace, and I had to stop it, 
copy and paste to gedit, then start again, etc.

I find it interesting, and sad, that there is no easy 'output to file'

Hi all. I'm new on this list but I think this might help. If you start 
screen first, enable logging (default ^a H) then run telnet and your 
commands, it will create a screenlog.X (where X is the screen number) 
file. Mileage may vary depending on how the data is being output to the 
terminal but it's worth s try.

That saves the whole session and is sometimes useful.  But, usually with 
command 
line programs you would just redirect the individual command's output to a file 
with ' filename' on the command line, or pipe through tee '|tee filename' if 
you want to see it at the same time.

Also, the terminal windows have a fairly big scroll-back buffer which you can 
increase with edit/profile so if you do decide to copy something after it 
happens you don't have to stop while it is still showing.

I use that a lot, but it doesn't work for telnet.

This last case it was ~4000 lines worth, the default is 500. And I did

Mainly in man screen. Just do this though (this will work if you have a 
stock install and no custom .screenrc):
1) yum install screen   # Install screen
2) screen   # Start screen
3) Press Ctrl-a then H  # This starts logging the current window (should 
be 0)
4) telnet firewall  # Log in to your firewall
5) Ctrl-a H again   # Run this once you're done on the firewall to 
close the log
6) exit # Exits screen
7) less screenlog.0 # View your screenlog.

[CentOS] Screen capture during install

Good evening.

I see all these neat how-tos online with nice pictures of the install and
all.
I am new to using linux on a computer I own.

I want to document the next server I build, each step. 

How do you do a screen capture on a system you are doing a fresh install on?
KVM connected to the unit?

Any help appreciated.

The first time I did this I had a camera on a tripod behind the screen with
a remote to the camera.  Shutter priority with about a 2 second exposure is
necessary to get complete screen captures.

I have done it more recently using vnc to handle the install on another
machine on the network, grabbing each screen using whatever that machine
has available.  I find vnc installs helpful in any case as it makes it easy
to monitor the installation without having to look at the hardware which
may be in another room.

My main reason was to make a really good how to book on building the

I guess I could install, learn VM, and then kinda 'fake install' the new
system and screen brab it.

Or maybe I could just use a cameralol

Maybe I could run the video though a filter and grab it with the vcr or a
diff computer and take the video and cut it up.

Nothing is ever easy dang it. Chicken egg things is a bummer.

Hi Bob,

That sounds like a really good thing to do. However, let me point out a 
couple of things that are important when it comes to the mailing list 
you are on here.


1) dont reply to someone else's email when its a NEW topic or thread you 
want to create. At the moment, since you replied to my email about the 
website rather than posting a new email, this entire conversation about 
how you would screenshot various things, is now under the thread titled 
'Centos Website'. dont believe me ? look here : 
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-September/thread.html


2) when you reply to someone on a thread, dont top post. Put your 
content below the portion you are replying to, and delete the rest ( eg. 
look at this email of mine. I've trimmed out the extra stuff and only 
left in enough to make sense of the thread ).


Do those two things, and you are sorted!

[CentOS] screen not sourcing .bashrc

[Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists)]

Hi everyone,

I use the screen command from time to time and what i would still
have to figure out how to do is for it to be able to source .bashrc
and read my user-defined configuration (aliases for example).

I have already added the source /root/.bashrc line on
/root/.screenrc but it doesn't seem to be working.

Would anyone know how this should work?

Thanks,
Matt

Screen opens a login shell, which means it will only read
.bash_profile and not .bashrc. However, that is the same kind of shell
that you have when you open a Konsole/Terminal/rxvt/xterm window, or
when you log in to the console, or when you open a SSH session, so is
it that only your screen sessions don't source .bashrc while the
others all do?

To have the desired effect of reading .bashrc always, it's common (and
the default) that your .bash_profile contains the following lines:

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

Did you remove these?

 I have already added the source /root/.bashrc line on
 /root/.screenrc but it doesn't seem to be working.

No, this is not going to work, since .screenrc accepts screen
commands, not bash commands.

 Would anyone know how this should work?

This should work. Try removing your .screenrc (or renaming to a backup
name) and seeing if it works after you do.

If it still does not work, post the contents of ~/.bash_profile,
~/.bashrc, ~/.screenrc and maybe also /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc and
/etc/screenrc, and then we may be able to help you some more.

HTH,

[CentOS] screen detatch

[David Mackintosh]

The man page for screen says that I can create a detatched screen 
running with a set command in it by doing this:

$ screen -dm $command

However, it doesn't work.  Screen exits without creating the detached
screen.  

If I say 

$ screen $command

...I get dropped into a screen session running $command as I would 
expect.

What's the magic invocation I'm missing?

Also, the next step will be for root to launch said screen session as
someone else during boot time; am I asking for trouble by trying it?

# su - user -c screen -dmS $Label $command

Thanks for any insights or pointers to web resources I can use to
learn from.

 screen -dm isn't the same as screen -d -m. Try the latter.

Figured it out.

While the first line of my shell script is

#!/bin/tcsh

...I am in fact a bash user.  One of the things my script is
ultimately trying to do is to start multiple things from within
the screen session by use of teh screen command itself; because
of the shell swap, $STY doesn't seem to be getting set.  If I
change the first line of my script to be #!/bin/bash, it works
as expected.

Thanks for looking.

Just an FYI...

You *may* be right, however...

Standards dictate that flags can be combined into a single
parameter. This is eased (debatable IMO) by the getopts function in
bash, getopt(1) command and getopt(3) function call for C et al.

Unfortunately, *some* few programs do not implement this correctly. But
over the years, as programs have been cleaned up and replaced, their
number has (thankfully) diminished.

 snip sig stuff

I note the OP has solved it.

Is there a setting that can be changed that keeps the screen from going 
black when changing between?

I presume you mean switching between a virtual console and an X session,
or between multiple X sessions. AFAIK, it can't be prevented because the
video output to the display changes and the monitor takes a brief time
to re-sync.

When I have run multiple X sessions, even when the resoultion is the
same, the black screen stills appears for a second or two.

 snip sig stuff

But I'm not a hardware guy, so it could be FUD I'm spouting.

[CentOS] screen locking - pam and xscreensaver

[Scott Ehrlich]

For an out-of-box Centos install that utilizes PAM for xscreensaver within 
both gnome and kde, what factors would lead to xscreensaver not being able 
to properly unlock the user?   I reviewed the logs and nothing helped.


I performed ldd on xscreensaver and an ls -l on each dependency proved 
they were all there.


The system uses local /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files for 
authentication - no NIS or LDAP or Kerberos.


If Xwindows was to be disabled, and only tty was used, what would be the 
best option for ensuring the logged-in session was locked after a 
determined amount of inactivity


Also, if the user stepped away from the system and wanted to manually lock 
it, what is the best tty screen-locking utility? I reviewed vlock, but 
after prompting me for my password, it then prompted for root's.  That was 
less than helpful.


Thanks.

Scott

If logged in to bash, TMOUT is the (seconds) setting to terminate the
 shell if no activity, but it is not fool-proof.  For example, an open vi
 session will prevent the logout.

Appreciate the variable of TMOUT, but I'm not looking to terminate, but 
rather lock the session.


Additionally, I should be able to override the session with the sudo or 
root password.


Other leads welcome.

[CentOS] Screen blanking crashes

[centos]

Hi,

I upgraded a Dell C521 from Ubuntu 6.04 to CentOS5.1. The Dell has
an NVidia 6150 analog video card.  The screen is an LG1952Tx.

After the screen blanking goes on, and the screen goes to sleep,
the screen goes black except for a blue note saying: analog video,
invalid frequency...

I have installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1. Everything
works great except for the screen sleep...

Any suggestion of what I should look for?

Until you get a better advice you can disable dpms in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Go into the machine BIOS and reset it to defaults.  I have seen cases 
where aggressive BIOS settings have triggered this type of behaviour.  I 
have about 150 machines now running CentOS 5.1 from Suse 10.0 using the 
same driver without issues.  On a SUN Ultra 40 with an GeForce 8800 
Ultra 768MB card we had an issue due to memory interleaving.  Disabling 
this fixed it.

Replying to myself with the fix... Setting PuTTY to use UTF-8 fixes the issue. 
This is
done in the Window - Translation section. The default is ISO-8859-1:1998 
(Latin-1, West Europe)

Changing this to UTF-8 fixes all these display corruption issues.

Surely you mean changing Centos to use C or en_US only!

Nah. By default (at least on my installs!), CentOS will be set with
declare -x LANG=en_US.UTF-8

This means that most other applications will probably work ok with UTF-8.

PuTTY however doesn't default to UTF-8, which causes weird display corruption
when using screen. On a side note, the Mac OSX terminal isn't affected. It
handles UTF-8 by default.
