In Debian Stretch, I added Ctrl+Alt+T as a shortcut to gnome-terminal, including "175x25-0-0" as the geometry (a wide window, at the bottom-right of the screen).



I want the same behavior when the terminal is opened from Nautilus' Open in Terminal command, but all I could change (via profile preferences) was the size, not the position.



I tried changing the Custom command (also in profile preferences), to include the geometry, but I ended up with a recursive and useless terminal (recovered via this answer).



I also tried changing /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper, including



push(@args,"--geometry=175x25-0-0");


right before the final exec, but didn't work either.



How can I set the position of the terminal, when called from Nautilus?

  • @J.Taylor Yes, I've come across that post. If you look at it, you'll notice that /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm has only options for size, not position. Also, Debian doesn't seem to have a System/Preferences/Preferred Applications.

  • Afiak the code responsible for launching that terminal is part of gnome-terminal, you'll have to patch the source code to change the geometry - see src/terminal-nautilus.c. It might be more convenient to write your own nautilus-python extension (there's plenty of them on the web, pick one that works on your setup and adapt it to your needs)...

  • @don_crissti Change the Nautilus source code to make it point somewhere else (a bash script?) wouldn't be easier, or at least equally complex?

  • I don't think you read my post above... This isn't nautilus code, it's gnome-terminal code... As I said, you can always write your own extension - that's the easiest way.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
