landscape mode setting?

Hiya, is there any way to force landscape mode on launch?

How to build it on Fedora?

I've installed dbus-devel gtk2-devel arm-linux-gnu-gcc vte-devel

[zaoqi@localhost kterm]$ ./configure --enable-kindle --sysconfdir=/mnt/us/extensions/kterm
......

Downloads

    kterm 2.4 :: zip package with binaries for kindle [gpg signature]
    kterm 0.7 :: zip package with binaries for kindle (kterm + matchbox-keyboard) [gpg signature]
    kterm 0.7 (5.6.5) :: zip package for firmware >= 5.6.5 [gpg signature]
    kterm source on github

source `${EXTENSIONS}/.profile`

THis is just a request to allow sourcing files

not honouring HOME envvar, nor parsing own BIN directory

Am I missing something?

setting the PATH and then calling KTERM I only get the global envvars?

also - it's own BIN directory is not honoured/parsed....

Is there a BETTER way to call kterm???

Help

I installed debian with container on Kindle, when I use Kterm in debian system, it will report the following error

*** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

unable to build on ubuntu

hello,

I installed libvte-dev on ubuntu and then did make, which told me it couldn't find lib/libvte.a, so I edited the Makefile and used LIBVTE=-lvte

doing make the second time threw the error /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file bin/kterm: No such file or directory, so I did mkdir bin and ran make again:

gcc kterm.c parse_config.c -lvte -O2 -Wall `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0` -ltermcap -o bin/kterm
kterm.c: In function ‘launch_keyboard’:
kterm.c:98: warning: ignoring return value of ‘pipe’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
kterm.c:99: warning: ignoring return value of ‘pipe’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
kterm.c:106: warning: ignoring return value of ‘dup’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

I tried putting the resulting binary kterm onto my kindle but it never launches. The binary I downloaded from your website was ~600kb whereas the one I built was ~35kb. Am I missing a step?

Chinese can't download any files from dropbox

I'm trying to access the website to get kterm but the site is not reachable:
http://www.fabiszewski.net/kindle-terminal/
Maybe creating a zip and a tarball and serving them from GitHub would be easier for you to maintain?

Canot Run As Root

It wouldbe verry nice if you could run as root to intall the files you made for us to install. I probably rent doing something right but please get sudo or tessus how to.

This is cannot work on my kindleBasic version 5.6.5

I just apply the new version kterm on my KindleBasic,but it does'nt work. My kindle version is 5.6.5 and have jailbreaked. Thank you for reply me!

Does kterm support kindle voyage ?

I've used this plugin two year ago in my kindle papaerwhite 2.
It worked very well.

Recently, I try to use it in kindle voyage which failed.

My question is how to use it in kindle voyage, or is it possible ?

when i launch it returns me back to the home screen

Help fast whenever i launch kterm it just goes back to home screen

keyboard

Ruszyło by to na kindle keyboard?

I can't input Chinese

What is the correct way to build kterm with static libvte?

Hello, glad to see this fantastic project still in active development. Kterm has helped me immensely during my past ownership of a kindle device. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, especially when it involves asking newbie questions in a bug tracker.

I've skimmed through the file configure.ac and It seems that building for Kindle with static libvte involves correctly exporting VTE_LIBS. I've tried setting VTE_LIBS to 'libs/libvte.a' '-l:libs/libvte.a' '-llibs/libvte.a' to no avail. (source of static libvte.a : #2)

My building environment is an emulated armel debian jessie in qemu.

Thanks!

Link for x11vnc is broken

Your pre-compiled packages webpage (http://www.fabiszewski.net/kindle-terminal/) has a link for x11vnc which gets a "zip file" which is actually an html document:

<html>
  <head><title>Found</title></head>

    <h1>Found</h1>
    <p>The resource was found at <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ahidr95vfjhx0vn/x11vnc.zip?dl=1">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ahidr95vfjhx0vn/x11vnc.zip?dl=1</a>;
you should be redirected automatically.

Following the dropbox link therein is a 403.

'xterm': unknown terminal type

I have a kindle PW2 with firmware 5.6.5.
kterm loads, but running certain things, e.g. 'top' or frotz does not work. Error messages are:
'xterm':unknown terminal type
or in case of frotz: "Error opening terminal: xterm"

in /usr/share/terminfo/, there is no x/xterm etc., so probably it got removed by amazon.

The above commands work if I issue
export TERM=linux

Is it possible to change the default terminal when running kterm?

Can i call out the original Kindle keyboard?

I'm using Kindle KT2. Kterm does an awsome job on my kindle. However it is impossible to type Chinese. Actually, you can't type any other languages easily except for English. As a result, using the original keyboard is a good choice.
So a new button might be added to hide the built-in keyboard and show the original one. I think it's the best solution.

kterm not working on kindle voyage at all

Kterm is not working on a jailbroken kindle voyage from kual.On tapping kterm entry in kual, it returns to home screen and nothing happens.

Where to put binaries? or which file to edit to add custom $PATH?

downloaded elinks, wget, tmux, vim ...etc from http://www.fabiszewski.net/kindle-terminal/

i put them in
Kindle:/extensions/kterm/bin/

how you make it load up all those programs to the $PATH?

i tryed

vim kterm.sh
export PATH="/mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$EXTENSION/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/bin:$PATH"

but doesnt work

i have to manually execute commands locally or give path to binary to use it, kind of annoying

cd /bin
./elinks

Don't show blinking cursor on non-Kindle builds

Hi,
I have ported KTerm (really great software, BTW) over to Kobos for my InkBox/KoBox project, it works all good but it would be great if the cursor was not blinking. Not sure if it's a good thing for those screens... I have a Kindle myself, and the cursor doesn't blink. So I think it's possible to do that in casual builds. I just don't know how. Do you have any pointers?
Thanks!

Can't rotate screen?

Can't see the option to rotate screen in the Menu (activated with 2 fingers tap in kterm)?
