tty

I recently connected an ADDS 1010 terminal via an USB to Serial port adapter to my FreeBSD server. After several days of tinkering with the termcap, I actually found a working one in Terminfo. Long story here, but probably not important for this. The problem I'm having is that some programs...

Dear FreeBSD Gurus! How to fix issue with characters set (if I make a right conclusion), see the picture above. The monitor are connected trough ATEN KVM CS64US (latest firmware updated). May be some corrections in loader.conf needed ?

Hello to you, I created a WP article about systems that have SIGINFO, Ctrl-T and related stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_key Does anyone have anything to add to it? Thank you, Ambie

Hello there, I have a freshly installed FreeBSD. I installed OpenBox and Ly display manager. I did the things that are written here (I wrote tty=2 instead of tty=3 on the /etc/ly/config.ini and ttyv1 instead of ttyv2 in /etc/ttys like on the official pkg-message). Sadly when I rebooted my vm it...

Hi. when I open a tty (Ctrl + Alt + F2 for example) the option to shutdown / restart in the Gnome menu disappears. And I can only restart or shutdown via terminal.

Install FreeBSD 12.2 with Gnome, when installing the nvidia-driver all the tty (Control + alt + F (x) look like this my rc.conf kld_list="nvidia-modeset" my loader.conf linux_load="YES" nvidia-modeset_load="YES" nvidia_load="YES"

Hi, I use FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE on a ThinkPad T530. Most of the time, I run it connected to 2 external screens: - one via miniDP -> HDMI (1920x1080) - the other one via VGA -> VGA (1440x900) - the built-in laptop screen is turned off (LVDS - 1366x768) Here are the relevant lines of my xrandr in a...

Hello, I have been using FreeBSD many years ago and was mostly on Linux. There have been many developments that I don't really like, so I decided to go back to FreeBSD and try my luck once again. Here is my problem: I just installed FreeBSD a few weeks ago and am trying to tweak some stuff...

Hi, Can I change tty width? It'd defult is 80*24. I want change it permanently. Thanks

I see claims that XTerm is incapable of not jumping to the prompt when new output is going in or when the user presses a key. I have the solution, and is indeed a problem of letter case in the .Xdefaults or .Xresources file. To achieve the desired behaviour add this to your .Xdefaults or...

This is probably a noob question, but I have wondered for some time the difference between TTY and terminal like rxvt-unicode or Xterm (and less shell). Is TTY just a virtual device which runs terminal emulator like rxvt-unicode which runs shell like sh or bash? If I have a freshly installed...

Hey guys, I am working on my git server, and SSH its claiming about have no access to /dev/tty inside of jail. After read about this issue, I have found is need setup on /etc/rc.conf to start it using: devfs_load_rulesets="YES" And on my jail.conf I need use devfs_ruleset, the level 3 and 5...

Hi, I'm testing out FreeBSD10 in a VM environment. I'm not sure if this is expected behavior, as I'm new to FreeBSD, but every time I try to scroll back using the Scroll-Lock -> Arrow keys the screen drops back to the end where the input cursor is. Is it possible to change this behavior? I...

I have done a little bit of searching around on this without luck. I apologize for the weak effort, but I am sick right now and don't feel like doing a lot of reading. Is there a way to enter a virtual console (tty?) while in an X environment? I'm looking for something like "Ctrl+Alt+F1" that...
