 Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:17 am Post subject: [SOLVED] xterm & .Xdefaults |
 |
|
Hi there,
Xterm is not running my .Xdefaults settings.
| Code: | ferreirafm@mephisto ~ $ ls -la .Xdefaults
-rw-r--r-- 1 ferreirafm ferreirafm 196 Mar 31 11:09 .Xdefaults |
Here goes what is has inside:
| Code: | ferreirafm@mephisto ~ $ more .Xdefaults
XTerm*foreground: white
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*saveLines: 100000
XTerm*faceName: monospace
XTerm*faceSize: 11pt;
XTerm*boldFont: monospace
XTerm*scrollBar: true
XTerm*rightScrollBar: true |
Is has something to do with launching Xterm from inside kde??
Any clues are appreciated.

IIRC it should be 'xterm*' not 'XTerm*'.

Hi avx,
Thanks for helping. Swapping from upper to lower case din't solve the problem.
I'm afraid it has something to do with kde, but not sure. From time to time my keyboard gets crazy and seems to loose its character mapping.
So, I give up of using Konsole and start xterm. Policykit may be...
Any other ideas?

Does this work?
| Code: |
cd ~
mv .Xdefaults .Xresources
ln -s .Xresources .Xdefaults
ln -s .xinitrc .Xclients
|
and put this in the beginning of your .xinitrc:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f $HOME/.Xdefaults ]; then
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults
fi
|
Note: Backup these files before.

Thanks,
ferreirafm
P.S.: xterm always open inside the Documents directory instead of ~/. How can I fix it? |

ferreirafm,
.Xdefaults file is deprecated and .Xresources is used nowadays. But for compatibility, .Xdefaults file is symlinked to Xresources.
Since you use kde, xterm always will be open inside the Documents directory instead of ~/. So you need to change path in kde within "System Preferences -> User Preferences -> Paths -> Documents
Menu names might not be the same, since I can't remember exactly.
