| ken3322423 | Has anyone had luck making Hyper terminal the default terminal? I installed it but it doesn't show in Terminal preferred applications in ubuntu mate | 03:12 |
|---|---|---|
| Menzador | Have you tried setting it using the command-line MIME editor? | 03:22 |
| ken3322423 | Menzador: I have tried some terminal commands to no avail. Could you show me an example? | 03:22 |
| Menzador | ken3322423: What's HyperTerminal defined as in the apps folder? [ ls /usr/share/applications/ | grep -i hyper ] | 03:23 |
| ken3322423 | Ah just "Hyper.desktop" | 03:24 |
| Menzador | [ xdg-mime default Hyper.desktop application/x-terminal-emulator ] | 03:25 |
| Menzador | It's case-sensitive btw | 03:25 |
| Menzador | I use Terminix | 03:25 |
| ken3322423 | Hmm I don't understand, I ran that command but ctrl alt T still opens Mate Terminal :/ | 03:29 |
| Menzador | See if [^][M]T is still linked directly to mate-terminal; if it is, just create a new shortcut to x-terminal-emulator | 03:30 |
| ken3322423 | Sorry what do you mean by [^][M]T? | 03:31 |
| Menzador | Ctrl+Alt+T | 03:31 |
| Menzador | ^ is Primary, M is Meta | 03:32 |
| Astro7467 | Have you tried ; update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator | 03:35 |
| Menzador | Gosh, I've done it again - I forgot that Ubuntu uses update-alternatives :P | 03:37 |
| Astro7467 | alternative is you just want the shortcut key to be assigned to Hyper is to clear the defualt and create a custome shortcut for Ctrl-Alt-T in Control Centre -> Keyboard Shortcuts | 03:37 |
| Menzador | Yeah, but it'd be hard-bound to HyperTerminal if that were the case. Binding to x-terminal-emulator would be smarter because the default terminal can be changed without having to unset and re-set the shortcur. | 03:38 |
| Menzador | *shortcut. | 03:38 |
| Astro7467 | I hv different default (x-terminal-emulator) vs user/interactive terminals (Cltrl-0Alt-T) as I want light for default, features for interactive | 03:38 |
| ken3322423 | this is what I'm seeing in update-alternatives. not sure what I'm supposed to select :/ https://dpaste.de/GU7y | 03:42 |
| Astro7467 | If HyperTerminal hasn't registered itself asa x-terminal-emulator alternative AFAIK you can use update-alternative --set x-terminal-emulator <hyperterminal-cmd-path> | 03:47 |
| Astro7467 | so if hyperterm starts hyperterminal you can get the path with 'which hyperterm' | 03:48 |
| ken3322423 | Astro7467: I'm getting an error saying that `alternative for path/to/hyper for x-term-emu not registered` | 03:50 |
| Astro7467 | sorry, needt to use sudo update-alternatives .... | 03:52 |
| Astro7467 | for example I can set to xterm successfully with; | 03:53 |
| Astro7467 | sudo update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/xterm | 03:53 |
| ken3322423 | Astro7467: here is my full error `update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/bin/hyper for x-terminal-emulator not registered; not setting` | 03:54 |
| ken3322423 | should I have typed x-terminal-emulator or something like hyperterm? | 03:54 |
| ken3322423 | sorry I mean to say that the error shows up even after running with sudo | 03:54 |
| Astro7467 | what do you get for; | 03:55 |
| Astro7467 | which hyper | 03:55 |
| ken3322423 | /usr/bin/hyper | 03:55 |
| Astro7467 | ok, so we are both learning here - --set only works for registered alternatives, so we need to register, then it will be on the list | 03:59 |
| Astro7467 | to register; | 03:59 |
| Menzador | ken3322423: Where's HyperTerminal even installed? | 03:59 |
| ken3322423 | xD I am not even sure.. | 04:00 |
| ken3322423 | /opt/Hyper/hyper | 04:01 |
| Astro7467 | sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/hyper 200 | 04:03 |
| Astro7467 | update-alternatives --install <link> <name> <path> <priority> | 04:04 |
| ken3322423 | Astro7467 I did this and it seemed to work but how can I test to see if it is working? right clicking in a folder and clicking `open in terminal` still opens Mate terminal | 04:06 |
| ken3322423 | It's getting late I have to head to bed. Good night fellas and appreciate your help | 04:10 |
| Astro7467 | last one ; | 04:12 |

| Guest74038 | Dag beste mensen, ik heb een probleem met ubuntu mate | 14:48 |
| Guest74038 | als ik op schijven klikt dan werk het progje niet ook als ik er een usb stick in stop laat hij ook niets zien | 14:49 |
| jared | When i listen to music, via youtube, my system freezes, and I got t hold power button. How do I fix this problem? | 17:56 |
| sixwheeledbeast | jared: I had a similar issue turned out to be faulty RAM | 18:01 |
| Akuli | he quit already, but i'd guess probably his graphics drivers | 18:07 |
| Akuli | i had an issue like that on the first computer i ever ran a non-windows on | 18:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | It could well be, I spend ages trying to diagnose an issue like that thinking drivers, until I did a memtest. | 18:29 |
| sixwheeledbeast | it's a shame people don't hang around longer. Unfortunately many have no patience. | 18:39 |
| Slown | Hello everyone | 21:41 |
| swift110 | hey all | 22:40 |
| tiox | Fun times. | 22:41 |
| tiox | **Fun times.** | 22:42 |
| tiox | So I have Nemo yeah? I can't seem to have it automount media on CD or DVD. | 22:42 |
| swift110 | how are you Tintomatic | 22:53 |
| swift110 | how are you tiox | 22:53 |
| tiox | Slightly peeved. | 22:53 |
| swift110 | why tiox | 23:11 |
| tiox | swift110: Because Nemo isn't mounting anything I put into /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1 | 23:16 |
| tiox | And then, when I made it so the media automounts, /etc/fstab stopped the system from launching and put it into E-mode. | 23:17 |
| tiox | Bundles and bundles of stupid. | 23:17 |
| swift110 | oh i see | 23:39 |
