Issue while displaying a command line in Qterminal - linux

I am currently setting up a linux machine using Arch-based distribution with :
SDDM as display manager
LXQT as Desktop environment
Using Qterminal as Terminal emulator, I am encountering the following problem:
The top part of what I am typing is not showing on display but the entered command still work
It seems to be a line spacing problem, nevertheless I am not able to find a workaround for this in settings,
Does anyone have an idea? Thanks for answering

Using ArangoDB through the command line not working

Thanks for taking the time, so - Arango is installed and the WebUI has been working fine. I've been doing the tutorials and finished the basics, but attempting to move on and import my own data I'm getting stuck.
I stored my data in a google sheet so I exported that for ingest but then trying to access the command line tools to ingest it, I hit a hurdle of "command not found". Trying "arangoimport" for example as recommended here, or "arangimp" and other recommendations I found online from a search. I also tried other command line tools and had the same issue.
Where should I be running this command from? (and how can I get there?) If the command can and should be run from the first terminal window I open, then please can you tell me what I'm missing and need to do :)
Thanks,
Josh
Open terminal and use cd to go to the directory in which arangoimport.exe is stored.
When the terminal is in that directory you can run the arangoimport command.

NodeJS is not recognizing commands on windows 10

I've installed Node.js on Windows 10 using this tutorial. I set the system variable for it as shown below [also explained in this SO post. But when I run the following command in the command prompt, I get the following error:
Error
Nodejs environment variable:
UPDATE
I'm just starting with learning Node.js. Below you can find (pics) is the way I'm trying to access Node.js on my windows 10 machine. It's not working. What should I do instead?
If you've correctly installed NodeJS on your machine you should be able to do the following:
Go to start and search for Node.js [ a 'desktop app' should appear with a green icon having the exact same name you entered -Can't miss it :) ]
I suggest opening it as an administrator -[not really necessary, but to avoid (possible) further problems ]
Open that, and try typing the same command e.g. console.log('What about now? :)')
Since you like pictures, here you go :)

auto login Linux 16.04

i installed a minimal ISO of Ubuntu on my virtual machine .
after installing i installed these programs :
open-box
lightdm
everything's work fine
but when i want to do the auto login ,i get stuck .
i have read many forms and watched a lot of videos,consequently found ways but none of them works for me
the one that i'm eager to work with is lightdm.conf file :
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
in the file first thing i did was to delete the guess and it worked fine
but the rest of the code dose not work at all
[SeatDefaults]
allow-guest=false
autologin-user=saeed
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=ubuntu
since i am not using unity i did not write(but i did try the code before) this code:
greeter-session=unity-greeter
saeed is my only user now , however i did try making another and auto login with it but the result was unsatisfying.
it's been around 12 hours of searching and trying ,it seems that everybody are getting the result but i keep getting the login screen
since i am working on embedded device it is crucial to get rid of the login in the main device,
nevertheless i do need the password for SSH connections security .
your help is appreciated in advance
Maybe you can try to leave out the "autologin-user-timeout=0".
I think there is a bug about that in Ubuntu 16.04.
I hope I could help you.

VirtualBox stuck in Full Screen mode

I looked all over and wasn't able to find a clean answer for this.
The problem is: when you're stuck in full screen mode in VirtualBox and have no way of triggering the host key to exit out (in my case: Citrixing in on OS X to a Windows machine running an Ubuntu Virtual Box VM... yeah, i know...)
So, I was able to piece together a couple of comments on the web for the following solution...
This doesn't work because you shouldn't edit the u.vbox file directly
This gives a general way to set configuration on the command line
First, you want to exit VirtualBox.
Second, you'll want to set fullscreen to off:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata u GUI/Fullscreen off
Launch VirtualBox and start your VM.
Finally, go back to doing whatever your real job was to begin with...

How to include 'dialog' command into Linux kickstart?

I am trying to use Linux command 'dialog'(1) (/usr/bin/dialog) in my kickstart script (ks.cfg).
However the initial running system does not have it during installation.
It seems even many of the running systems don't have dialog command either.
But I have a DVD with ks.cfg which uses dialog and installs well.
Can someone please figure out how to make it available during installation?
I checked initrd of the DVD I mentioned above which has dialog included; it is not there.
And please, if someone is going to move this question to server fault, can you leave it here for a few days? I wish more people can see this question for I found kickstart related questions don't get answers soon.
Thanks!
