I am trying to change my xterm theme using a hack in Xresources which i found in this. I have created a Xresources in my home dirctory and entered the below code. I think that the name of this file should be a different one (at least on Ubuntu).Try(1) the following:.find your hostname:% hostnamepern(type hostname in your preferred shell - in the same xterm if you like. You'll have the hostname printed - in my case it is 'pern').you should use.Xdefaults-hostname as a file name for your default resource file. For example, supposing your is.Xresource, you can create a symbolic link: cd ; ln -s.Xresources.Xdefaults-$(hostname)(more simply put: the resources file should be called after your hostname; so if for example your hostname is alfabeta, your resource file should be named.Xdefaults-alfabeta. The above command, typed as is in a shell, will take care of creating an alias, aka symbolic link, for your existing.Xresources file(2)).and now it should load it at startup (logout and login to check, no need to reboot).As a last resort, you can try to put the xrdb command in an executable script named.xprofile (works for me in Xubuntu) or.xsessionrc in your home directory, or add it to your.Footnotes:(1) all the X11 resource mechanism, although not officialy obsoleted, is basically used only by programs from the 90ies and before ( XJed, xterm, xfig and so on).
Which I still use, together with a couple more dinosaurs. Probably the status of the maintenance of the scripts loading them is, well, lagging. Given that you are a new user, why not going with a more powerful terminal emulator like, for example, terminator? It has profiles, configurability, split screen, status line, and a lot fancier stuff than ole good xterm.(2) that, by the way, I do not know why it is not working. It should be loaded by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-commonxresources, which is sourced by /etc/X11/Xsession.
I'm running arch linux on my linode and I'm attempting to set up XServer. Basically, what I did was ```` pacman -Syu xorg-server pacman -S xorg-xinit pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm pacma.

To workaround the noise create an empty file.
