Gvim Redraw Issues with Virtual Box and Windows 7 Host

Gvim redraw issues with Virtual Box and Windows 7 host

The problem is related to some bug of Cinnamon, maybe showing up only when run inside VirtualBox with 3D acceleration enabled. I discovered, in fact, that the display was corrupted also for other applications (e.g., media player).

I solved the problem by switching to the Mate window manager through the following steps:

• Installed main mate packages
• Installed also package mint-meta-mate
• Logged out and selected Mate as window manager

Now gvim and all other apps work fine.

Gvim redraw issues in Ubuntu guest inside vmware

I removed my existing vim-gtk and installed vim-gtk3 on Xenial and now it's almost as fast as terminal vim.

sudo apt remove vim-gtk
sudo apt install vim-gtk3

Vim 7.4 binary for Windows, can't process Thai characters. No multi_byte, has multi_byte_ime/dyn instead?

Unpack iconv.dll and libintl.dll from the links provided on the vim download page, under iconv library and newer intl library and install them as directed on the aforementioned vim download page.

Update:

You will need to get iconv.dll from the win32 build of iconv. and intl.dll from the win32 build of gettext. You can access the files for both from SourceForge.

First, follow the libiconv-win32 on the SourceForge page. Click on the latest version 1.9.1 as of the date of this answer. Click on that and download the zipfile. (Currently libiconv-1.9.1.bin.woe32.zip). The zipfile contains the file iconv.dll in the bin subdirectory. Put iconv.dll in the same directory as gvim.exe.

Next follow the gettext-win32 link on Sourceforge page linked above. Click on the latest version (0.13.1 as of the date of this answer) and download the runtime zipfile (currently gettext-runtime-0.13.1.bin.woe32.zip). This zipfile contains the file intl.dll in the bin subdirectory. Copy that in the same directory as gvim.exe, renaming it as libintl.dll. This might overwrite a file that is already there.

job scheduling in windows pc

However now I don't have access to execute my job files on the LSF
server.

You should talk with your cluster administrator about this. Transferring data from laptop to cluster is a common task. I'm sure that they have best practices.

1) Can I use my personal pc to execetute simulations. Like using
VirtualBox and using one of the linux distribution ?

Impossible to say with the limited information in the question. e.g., if your simulation software is licensed, then your laptop may not be eligible to use it.

2) Is it possible to execute .out in the windows machine?

Again, with the limited information in the question, its impossible to say. But in general Linux binaries cannot be directly run on Windows.

Vim on Ubuntu: Text rendering bug, repeating and disappearing weirdly

So I found out whats the problem. Turns out after I removed one line from my .vimrc, the weird visual rendering bugs are gone.

Did not expect this innocuous looking line to be the cause:

set lines=50 columns=100

Not sure why this is the case though.

Not work clipboard between Windows and Linux Mint 18.3 (Virtual box) machine

Have you installed the guest addtions? They are needed to have features like this.
(QUICK GUID -> Within the guest terminal window, click on the devices from the menu, then "Insert Guest Addtions CD Image", then try to install them by the script found in the optical drive)

Virtual Box Manual - Chapter 4

Things to take care after setting up Mac OS X on a virtual box on a windows 7 host for developing RoR apps?

In case you get it to work in virtual machine, not a bad idea. No pitfalls I can think of, except, perhaps, speed.

However, linux (pretend I said Ubuntu) is even better environment for Ruby on Rails development and it installs great in VM.

Just a thing to consider. Only thing is that VIM takes a bit more to get used to.

gvim Windows - Message popup box with OK button?

This is output from stuff in your ~/.vimrc or plugins that runs before GVIM is fully initialized. The execution of those commands should be delayed via

:autocmd VimEnter * {commands-here}

How to find these commands? You can capture a full log of a Vim session with vim -V20vimlog. After quitting Vim, examine the vimlog log file for suspect commands.

vimdiff immediately becomes stopped job, crashes terminal when I try to fg it, but works with GUI

After removing the following line from my .vimrc, the problem went away:

set shell=/bin/bash\ -li

Running rspec inside gvim

When you use GVIM, there's only a very primitive terminal emulation for external commands. This is okay for capturing output, but it doesn't understand the ANSI escape sequences to output different colors and other fancy stuff. That's the gibberish you see.

First, drop off the --color argument to rspec that presumably instructs the command to use color output. That should at least reduce the gibberish. If there's still some, prefixing :! TERM=dumb spring rspec ... might help.
