Your PPA has the package marked as deleted or superseded though, and it's not available in the hardy repos. What could I do to install it anyway?<br />Thanks for your work!!Jürgen Depickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326146516889126882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-52456456302123113112009-03-26T12:34:00.000-05:002009-03-26T12:34:00.000-05:00Can this be used on other distro's?

I am using the following in my .bashrc:<BR/><BR/>if [ "$TERM" != "screen" ]; then<BR/> screen -xRR<BR/> logout<BR/>fi<BR/><BR/>When I open gnome-terminal, it takes up to 10 seconds for any output to appear. I figured out this was because /usr/share/screen-profiles/bin/updates-available was taking a long time to query the apt database.<BR/><BR/>The screen manpage provides another way to do this:<BR/><BR/>1. Change the line in /usr/share/screen-profiles/profiles/common from "backtick 101 3600 3600 ..." to "backtick 101 0 0 ...".<BR/><BR/>2. Wrap the whole updates-available script in a "while [ 1 ]" loop, with a "sleep 3600" as the last command.<BR/><BR/>This makes the initial prompt come up much faster...maybe the same can be done for the other scripts. There may be some resident memory, but then there is usually only one instance of screen running on a given machine.Paul Natsuo Kishimotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134621413226313056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-74489193498937117542008-12-17T13:24:00.000-06:002008-12-17T13:24:00.000-06:00Wow, this is really awesome!

I’ve noticed that the newest version in Intrepid (and SUSE 11.0) differs from the previous one, they redefined a keyboard shortcut I had been using for years — and for no apparent reason they moved it to the next key and assigned something else to said shortcut (Alt-O, make the other panel contain the same dir as the active one; has become Alt-I instead and Alt-O opens the highlighted directory and moves the cursor down instead.)Henrik Paulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286665495892569528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-7766899191717903822008-12-15T03:08:00.000-06:002008-12-15T03:08:00.000-06:00Dustin, you rock :)I'm still trying to find a way ...Dustin, you rock :)<BR/><BR/>I'm still trying to find a way for C-tab to switch between screens, which would be a lot more intuitive for many users than C-a N. <BR/><BR/>What about having a couple tabs open by default, one of them providing some more detailed info about the running server?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338253733970711729noreply@blogger.com
