Linux – How to disable the visual bell in Xterm

defaultslinux

I am getting really nervous when I press 'Tab' twice and screen is blinking (goes to opposite color and returns back).

I tried to change the setting in .Xdefaults file with:

XTerm*visualBell:  False

but could not get rid of this.

I also tried to kill the VNC process and re-created but it still doesn't work!

Does anybody have a solution for removing this behaviour?

I have found the problem: in my home directory there wan another .Xresources file in which it was written

XTerm*visualBell: True

So Xterm was initializing from not .Xdefaults but from .Xresources! Anyway thanks!

I don't of anything exactly like that, but you can use the command line tool notify-send to have pop-ups on the desktop. In Ubuntu the package is libnotify-bin. For example:

notify-send -u normal -t 10000 -i info 'hw' 'Hello world'

Linux Bash – How to Sort du -h Output by Size

As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:

du -hs * | sort -h

If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:

brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h

From sort manual:

-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)
