Issues with aterm configuration-Solved

ravisghosh · 2007-02-04 06:56:18

I wanted a lightweight terminal with copy-paste capabilities. So, I chose aterm. I wanted to configure it to make it look better and a little more responsive. I searched the forum and found a link http://linuxreviews.org/software/x11-terms/aterm/ but there is no .Xdefaults in my home directory or anywhere in the system. When I used the commands described in the link, here is what I am getting:

[shantanu@bluehead ~]$ aterm -bg white -fg black
aterm: Cannot set locale
config_geom = 581x340
root_geom = 581x340+6+395, root_size = 1024x768

[shantanu@bluehead ~]$

Another aterm is opened with white background and black foreground, but things are not being saved since next time i start aterm, its the same old thing.

Another issues is that, when i start any app from terminal, i get messages like

[shantanu@bluehead ~]$ xmms

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation


Gdk-WARNING **:     ISO8859-1


** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*".

[shantanu@bluehead ~]$ firefox

(firefox-bin:10367): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Though there is no problems, but i guess this indicates there is something wrong in the settings. Any suggestion friends.

aterm does not save it's configuration.

if you want to save it, use a .Xdefaults. create ~/.Xdefaults and put the lines mentioned there in it.

After editing a .Xdefaults, do a

 
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults

to load the changes

For the locale messages, did you configured your locale (i.e. uncomment the ones you need in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen) ?

Thanks iphitus, but just creating .Xdefaults adding the lines worked. no need to run that command.
