Solarized Linux - Comment Page: 1
I like very much Ethan Schoonover Solarized color palette. So I decided write a guide, howto get Solarized colors to most commonly used Linux terminals (Gnome-Terminal, Konsole, XFCE Terminal, Mate-Terminal), Text editors (Gedit, Vim) and IDEs (Eclipse, NetBeans). These are not my projects, so the greatest honor belongs, of course, these projects owners and Ethan Schoonover.
1. Install Needed Tools (git, mercurial, 7-zip)
2. Create and Change to Solarized Directory
3. Solarized Terminals
3.1 Solarized Gnome-Terminal
3.2 Solarized Konsole
3.3 Solarized Terminal (XFCE Terminal)
3.4 Solarized Mate-Terminal
4. Solarized Editors
4.1 Solarized Gedit
4.2 Solarized Vim
5....
i got the following error:_ :( when i type gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/set_dark.sh same for *_light.sh

Hi arshperrst,
Could you tell more about your system, what os and version you are running?
And did you run this command when Gnome-Desktop is running on Gnome-Terminal?
You can post also output of following commands:
Thank you!!!!! It finally got these amazing colors. Thanks
Hello , and thanks for the guide.I have the same errors as arshperrst.

Well, i found the solution to the above problem.
You must write ” su – ” and then the “gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/set_light.sh”
But , i can’t apply this to the terminal.I go to Configuration->Profile->Colors
but there,at the themes ,it has only “Tango,linux console,Xterm,Rxvt,adjust”.
What can i do?
here is my output :-

Hi George and arshperrst,
I just tested this Gnome-Terminal part and it works normally with GNOME Shell 3.4.2 and GNOME Terminal 3.4.1.1.
And you don’t need be root user to set normal user terminal colors. And terminal colors change to Solarized instantly after you run script you don’t have to go to Configuration -> Profile -> Colors.
Then back to your real problem:
Error setting value: No D-BUS daemon running
Still looks like that you don’t have D-BUS deamon running. Could you both post output of following commands:
Hello,
so ,i need to update to gnome shell 3.4.2?
The output
ps aux |grep -i dbus

Hello,
Gnome Shell 3.4.2 is not needed. I just tested this also on CentOS Gnome-Terminal 2.31.3 and it works normally.
Your dbus-daemon is running normally. So could you post full error message when you run following command as normal user (geo)?
You can also try following command and check errors:
Both scripts do the same thing, but if you use install.sh then you can select Gnome-Terminal profile also.
Could you also post output of following command:
gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/set_light.sh
-bash: gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/set_light.sh: No such file or folder
gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/install.sh
-bash: gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/install.sh: No such file or folder
gconftool-2 -v
3.2.5
Thanks!
Hi George,
You have run first commands just there where you clone gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.git repo or use full paths, like:
Hello,
if i run as normal user “cd ~/solarized” it says “no such file or directory.
Only as root i can have access to ~/solarized.And there (as root) it gives me no message when i run the command you say.
Thanks
So do you created ~/solarized directory as root user?
Create ~/solarized directory as normal user, clone git repo and then run gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/set_light.sh?
Oh!!I missed that!I thought it was as root!
Ok,it works fine now!
(If i delete the ~/solarized (as root) it will clean also the clone git from there?(from root))?
Excellent! :)
Yes you can delete /root/solarized and it will clean also cloned git repo. This script only change terminal colors so even if you delete ~/solarized directory from normal user dir, you won’t lose colors from terminal until you change terminal colors manually. If you change colors manually and want restore Solarized terminal colors again, then you need set_light.sh or set_dark.sh scripts next time. :)

Wow, dude. This is an amazing compilation for Solarized-happy folks. Thanks a million!
[email protected]:~$ gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/set_dark.sh
Default is not a valid profile
What am I doing wrong?
Hi FibSaSk,
If you check Gnome-Terminal Edit -> Profiles… what you see?
Ah, embarassing newbie mistake from my part. Installed it easily on gnome-terminal, but I want to install it on xfce terminal. Any way to do that?
There’s no Edit -> Profiles in this one.
Hi FibSaSk,
I added Solarized XFCE Terminal guide. :)
Hi JR,
I got the same error as FibSaSk.
I can see the default profile when I check Gnome-Terminal Edit->Profiles. Actually I want to change the color scheme in RHEL, which has a very old version of gnome terminal(2.16.0). I tried every possible ways I could find on the Internet but failed. Hope you could see this message and help me. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for posting this how-to. I added the vim, Gnome terminal and GEdit Solarized profiles without issue in Linux Mint Cinnamon 15.
I found that the xterm recipe didn’t work on Fedora 19. It seems that the profiles now have GUIDs, eg:
$ dconf list /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ | grep ^: | sed 's/\///g'
:b1dcc9dd-5262-4d8d-a863-c897e6d979b9
:99949086-171d-4a19-a04d-679697f23ec7
So, I used this to set one of the profiles to the dark colours:
gnome-terminal-colors-solarized/set_dark.sh :b1dcc9dd-5262-4d8d-a863-c897e6d979b9
Thanks Robin,
You are totally right and thanks for solving this also.
Actually looks like that, install.sh script works too. I will update this guide.
