\"Paper<\/p>\n

Want to display a scrolling “The Matrix” like screen in Ubuntu desktop? You can do the job easily via a command line tool called cmatrix.<\/p>\n

CMatrix<\/a> is based on the screensaver from The Matrix website. It shows text flying in and out in a terminal like as seen in “The Matrix” movie. It can scroll lines all at the same rate or asynchronously and at a user-defined speed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. To install cmatrix<\/b>, simply open terminal from application launcher and run command:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install cmatrix<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
2.<\/b> Once installed, run cmatrix<\/code> command to start the display:<\/p>\n
cmatrix<\/pre>\n
You can press F11<\/b> to toggle on (off) terminal FULL-SCREEN mode. And press Ctrl+C<\/b> (or q<\/b>) to stop the process.<\/p>\n
3. (Optional)<\/b> There are some command line options. You can get them by running command:<\/p>\n
cmatrix -h<\/pre>\n
Note to use the Linux mode -l<\/code> option, you need to switch to TTY console (Ctrl+Alt+F3<\/b>).<\/p>\n
