As SirDuncan and vovchik mentioned, even I have similar problems...backspace and left/right arrow keys don't work and print random characters when used. It would be nice to get rid of the issue..can be irritating at times . Thanks.

There are a LOT of us that shun eye candy like it was the plague. We prefer that the core OS works flawlessly instead of masking it with layer upon layer upon layer of insulation and fluff.

Man you like to complain about things, Here we go,
If you look at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php?f=11
You'll see some sticky post at the top,
#2 is JWM Themes views 29633
#3 is ICEWM Themes views 27853
--------------------------------------------
=57,486 Total views for "eye Candy" and thats just 2 window managers theme selections, then you have things like wbar, icons, etc.
Barry has been getting compliments on his new looks for puppy 4.0, I think it looks great, Not everyone is stuck on windows 95 look and feel like you are, Eye Candy is like a dinning table with roses or not with roses. It doesn't make your food taste better, but it makes you feel good inside.

You had mentioned "OS works flawlessly"
well when was the last time you brought something good to puppy? Other than your normal crappy attitude?
I spend days on a single problem, Like now I'm trying to figure out this Dbus issue in puppy 4.0, I've been at it for a few days. Maybe a little less halitosis from you and maybe some solid contribution towards new fixes from you, We might actually come close to having a "OS works flawlessly".
But Nooooooo I bet, you would rather be a thorn in everybody's side than actually being useful, Well have a nice day :roll:

@ttuuxxx

Tender nerve, mon ami?

Thanks for the personal attack. You're showing your true colors. Again.

And please ease up on the sophomoric metaphors.

Nothing against eye-candy, but I don't like to have anything on my table but food. Flowers just get in the way, and they smell stuffy (though most do look okay until they get all withered up and nasty). I say decorate the table with food, and keep the flowers outside in the ground. It's kinder to the flowers.


I'm in the middle of something right now, but when I finish I'll take a look at your Sakura package and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Okay. I haven't bothered to track down exactly which entries in the termcap file are relevant, but if you drop in the one from the old Sakura package (which was at a different place and under another name) everything seems to work properly. Just decompress this (gunzip termcap.gz) and stick it in /etc, overwriting the existing copy.

termcap.gz
Extract this and put it at /etc/termcap to fix the arrow and backspace keys.

In the interests of consensus, can't we have edible flowers on the table? Some people rate feijoa as being the best edible flower, but I prefer some yuccas I've tried.

Dear Pizzasgood,

Thanks for your termcap. It works perfectly. For those wishing to launch apps via -x, please note that sakura uses -e for that function. These are the command line arguments from the manpage:

Code: Select all

-?, --help 
 Show summary of options. 
-v, --version 
 Show version of program. 
-f, --font 
 Select initial terminal font 
-n, --ntabs 
 Select initial number of tabs 
-e, --execute 
 Execute command 
-l, --login 
 Login shell 
-t, --title 
 Set window title 
--display=DISPLAY 
 X display to use 
With kind regards,
vovchik

I like this new(?) terminal. I set it up to look similiar to the old basic prompt of the TI-99/4A, which is a little easier on my eyes. Really cool. Thanks.

Pizzasgood

I thought you updated the libtermcap but you modified only the termcap file
to fix the errors
so now its clear to me what happened


*Because I noticed that puppy 4.00 does not have libtermcap
I had to add that from version 3.01 to get my debugging program to work called "basdb"
that may be needed too


thanks for the fix
