How to increase my terminal buffer
I have checked similar threads but found no satisfactory answer.
I want to increase the size of my terminal buffer so that later command output won't truncate earlier commands' output. I am not ready to download new 'packages' just yet. Also, in the big result in the Terminal's output, would be nice if one can 'Find' (CTRL-F in Windows) a particular string... I have Ubuntu 8.4.2 Thank you. |
What terminal are you using? rxvt, konsole, xterm? If you are looking for a particular string then
Code:
<command here> | grep "<string>" Code:
command > /path/filename.whatever |

To edit the scroll back lines, when you open up the terminal click on edit then click on profile perferences, and then click on scrolling tab. You can change the number of lines you can scroll back too.

To search through past commands, try Ctrl+R then enter a search string. Ctrl+R again will look for the next oldest occurrence of that string. |

For the other question, I should have been a little more specific about the buffer of my terminal. The input buffer, which allows me to cycle through my previous commands, is adequate. But the output buffer, which allows me to scroll back and forth to view the (large) output of a command, such as <dmesg>, is a little small. As a result, the top portion of the output got truncated. I wished to increase the output buffer of my terminal so that I can view the entire output result of my commands. But this question has also been resolved by an earlier post. Thanks. |
