terminal

Hello people, at the end of 2023 I started my journey of no return with FreeBSD because I got tired of Linux and wanted to experiment with this wonderful OS. I have already tried GhostBSD, NomadBSD... But the problem is that they are easy to install, I want someone to give me a guide to install...

In Linux, when typing reset in the xfce terminal, the terminal was reset, that is, as if we had closed and opened a new window, without messages or commands. In FreeBSD this command is not giving the result I expected, in practice it seems to do nothing! Below what he does NOTE: CTRL + L or...

Dear FreeBSD Gurus! How to disable noisy/annoying output from BIOS (motherboard, RAID, IDE controllers, etc…) on tty0 ? I mean that a lot of messages (for example “noperiph:ata0:0….rescan already queued”, “ugen1:.7…at usbus1”, “RAID Consistency check….done”, …” make impossible to comfortable...

DISCLAIMER: Introduction By this time it should be already old news that /bin/sh has become the new default shell instead of /bin/csh. But perhaps more subtle is that this new version of Bourne Shell has expanded support for the formatting sequences supported by the PS1 special variable as can...

Thought maybe some other ppl people might appreciate this. I just use it for common commands instead of using aliases. I bound it to the m key to start it up. Easy to edit for your own commands. #!/usr/bin/env python3 import curses import subprocess import os def main(stdscr)...

Eventually I've installed fresh FreeBSD 13.2 and found this problem. Alt+d should delete word in front of the cursor. It drives me crazy. How to make it work correctly?

After changing screen resolution to more night (640x480 text -> 1600x1200 graphics), output from btop app (formerly bpytop on-screen real-time monitoring tool) look like mess (see attached screen photos). The same behavior for current btop app and for previous version - bpytop. Only one...

Is there any terminal tool to merge two PDF files (or more) into a single one?

Discussion and screenshots about text gaming on FreeBSD. This is for games on the command-line or terminal interface. Many games are ascii and/or curses. Signify if the game uses an interpreter or emulator. Topic includes utilities or ASCII animations that aren't games, but are under the games...

I was installing Julia in my fresh FreeBSD installation. I set the path at ~/.cshrc and finally entered source ~/.cshrc. The thing is: when I type "julia", terminal doesn't find it: $ julia sh: julia: not found But when I do the same command with su, it works. I tried checking the $PATH...

I'm on FreeBSD 13, and I don't know how to disable "bracketed paste". I already tried with inputrc (set enable-bracketed-paste off) and it does not work. I switched to zsh and it is still there, active.

Hi! I am using csh and I notice that I cannot see the command history. That is, I open a terminal, write a command, close it, and when I reopen it, it is clean. No history. How can I have the history there to speed up the writing?

I usually expand my Terminal window to take the full height of the screen. After running a bhyve VM (e.g. OpenBSD) - running and after shutting down the VM - the usuable height of the Terminal screen/window became shortened. How can I prevent this? Note: There is no fbuf in my bhyve option and...

How do I increase the terminal font size by using the allscreens variable in rc.conf? In my file, I have allscreens_flags="green" which sets the font to green. If this is put into /boot/loader.conf, will these settings occur sooner during boot up?

Fellow FreeBSD users, I'm using FreeBSD 12.1 RELEASE GENERIC. Under X when I type a command on the last line of a terminal, I often don't get any output. When I generate an event which triggers a refresh, the output finally appears, so I know it was there to start with. For example, if I...

I built the suckless st terminal from source, but the makefile use tic to add the st.info file to the terminfo.db which freebsd doesnt use Freebsd uses termcap.db which means the st terminal has odd behavior especially with ncurses apps like newsboat and ncmpc because the termcap.db doesnt...

In FreeBSD 12.1 backspace in terminal only deletes one byte of multi-byte character. For example: # cat > /tmp/test tы<backspace>t # cat /tmp/test t�t # hexdump -C /tmp/test 74 d1 74 0a Where 'ы' is a Russian letter (D18B in hexadecimal form). You may see that only second byte of multi-byte...

Hi! I'm trying to compare one base config file to 500 other config files and wanted some help. Are there any command line tools that are built to solve this specific problem or perl/python? I don't think diff was built for this. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!
