I had to hunt too long to find this (and I never seem to remember it) and I’m always trying to print strings that are too long and thus truncated, with the interesting parts appearing after the “…”
set print element 0
Not particularly intuitive.
Amazing the stuff you forget:
Many years ago, I knew there was a really easy way to detach and reattach sessions in Unix (HP-UX at the time). But in recent years with Linux, I’ve been using “screen” which was always overkill for simple job control.
While reacquainting myself with emacs, I found myself accidentally hitting ctrl-z and poof, to my horror, my edit session disappeared! But a ps showed emacs was still running. A bit of googling showed that emacs was indeed still alive and well and could be retrieved with fg followed by the job number. jobs -l displays a list of current background jobs.
For more, check out job control in man bash.
To run X client apps remotely on CentOS5 from your X server requires installation of a couple of small packages.
yum install xorg-x11-apps — installed with dependancies to get basic X11 client components. Also includes xeyes and xclock, useful for testing.
yum install xorg-x11-xauth — needed for ssh authentication.
ssh -X user@client
xclock
I don’t know what moron thought it would be a good idea to kill compiz/xgl on shift-backspace but I regularly hit this combination while editing code. Most uncool.
Add this to startcompiz to fix:
xmodmap -e “keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace Terminate_Server” &
See previous post for a complete sample startcompiz.
After messing around for a while, my startcompiz (actually startxgl) file looks like this:
#!/bin/sh Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -dpi 96 -br -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer & sleep 4 export DISPLAY=:1compiz --replace & gtk-window-decorator --replace & xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace Terminate_Server" & exec gnome-session
There are a couple of CompizFusion on Feisty recipes floating around but this is the best I’ve found. I also like that it uses the Gutsy repo instead of a 3rd party, since we’re all going to be using Gutsy sooner or later.
This works well on my ATI-based Thinkpad T60P. If you’re using nVidia look here.
