UNetLab-X-Integration open telnet sessions in one terminal window about eve-ng-integration HOT 21 CLOSED

Yes, it is possible, but works with roxterm only (maybe somewhere else).

At first, update eve-ng-integration to latest version.

1. Copy eve-ng-integration.desktop to home directory:

cp -f /usr/share/applications/eve-ng-integration.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

2. Open it for editing:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/eve-ng-integration.desktop

3. Add env OVERRIDE_TERMINAL_CMD="roxterm --tab -e" to Exec line to get the following code:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=eve-ng-Integration
Exec=env OVERRIDE_TERMINAL_CMD="roxterm --tab -e" eve-ng-integration %u
TryExec=eve-ng-integration
Type=Application
Categories=Network;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/telnet;x-scheme-handler/capture;x-scheme-handler/docker;
X-KDE-Protocols=telnet,capture,docker
NoDisplay=true

4. Save it and try to open several nodes in your browser.

Hello, thanks for reply!

1. I install roxterm.
2. Install latest version of unetlab-x-integration.
3. Copy and correct unetlab-x-integration.desktop file.
   But, browser by clicking the devices, still open every session in separated x-terminal
   What changes I need to do, to open the browser as expected?

update: from firefox is work as expected with roxterm!

from eve-ng-integration.

Does not work in Google Chrome only?

Try the command from #does-not-work-in-google-chrome-but-works-in-another-browser

from eve-ng-integration.

Yes. Does not work in Google Chrome only. I tried yet. But still in separated x-terminal, not in roxterm

from eve-ng-integration.

Did you get this window after click by nodes?

from eve-ng-integration.

Yes. When i click "Open...", open separated x-terminal console. I dont't know, why google chrome do not use roxterm

from eve-ng-integration.

Could you run command xdg-open "telnet://route-server.he.net" multiple times to test it what works fine?

from eve-ng-integration.

Yes. It works fine. It's opens in separated x-terminal consoles.
route-server>

from eve-ng-integration.

Sorry, When I run "xdg-open...", I see error:

** (x-terminal-emulator:5888): WARNING **: Binding 'a' failed!
Unable to bind hide_window key, another instance/window has it.
<Window object at 0x7f68fa3399b0 (terminatorlib+window+Window at 0x280b040)> is not in registered window list

but, x-terminal console is opened and i see

route-server>

from eve-ng-integration.

It's should open telnet session in new roxterm tab.

Ok, try the next commands:

sudo update-desktop-database -q

xdg-mime default unetlab-x-integration.desktop x-scheme-handler/capture
xdg-mime default unetlab-x-integration.desktop x-scheme-handler/telnet
xdg-mime default unetlab-x-integration.desktop x-scheme-handler/docker

and test it again.

from eve-ng-integration.

As before, don't work as expected

Please, run the next commands and paste result here

cat ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
cat ~/.local/share/applications/unetlab-x-integration.desktop

Hmm, looks good. I have no idea why it not working on your system. Which desktop environment are you using?

from eve-ng-integration.

Openbox

from eve-ng-integration.

Oh, I try to install Openbox on a virtual machine and test it there.

Please, test this command too:

env OVERRIDE_TERMINAL_CMD="roxterm --tab -e" unetlab-x-integration "telnet://route-server.he.net"

and try to delete space after Exec= in your ~/.local/share/applications/unetlab-x-integration.desktop

from eve-ng-integration.

env OVERRIDE_TERMINAL_CMD="roxterm --tab -e" unetlab-x-integration "telnet://route-server.he.net"

opened in roxterm.

and try to delete space after Exec=

not give effect

from eve-ng-integration.

Do you have same output?

from eve-ng-integration.

It is a bug in env (GNU coreutils) 8.23.

I found the workaround but it is ugly:

Delete double quotes, and replace spaces between arguments to the special characters (Ctrl-V + Enter in vi/vim), or just replace unetlab-x-integration.desktop with patched_unetlab-x-integration.desktop.zip

from eve-ng-integration.

Amazing! It's work fine in google chrome now! Thank you very march!

I succeeded in making it work under KDE 5.x Konsole. Need to edit /usr/bin/eve-ng-integration, find this section:

    elif url.scheme == 'telnet':
        #cmd = 'telnet {host} {port}'.format(**data)
        cmd = 'konsole --new-tab -e telnet {host} {port}'.format(**data)

        term.execute(cmd)

This makes opening new tab for each link instead of new window. One drawback is that one extra-window opens and must stay opened. One thing I can not figure out is how to make each tab title be named the way as host is named it the topology or in device config.
