Hello, I'm using SXCE and I'm actually new to Solaris. Anyway, I've been a linux user for several years now, and decided to try out an opensolaris distro, and let me tell you I'm very happy.
One of the main problems I'm haivng right now is not being able to use VTE properly, I need vte since I'm trying to use Guake [u]http://www.guake-terminal.org/[/u], I've compiled it already and it's usable, but since it uses vte it's problems migrated to guake. Ok, to the problem: I'm not able to use the backspace nor delete keys in VTE, also when using VIM and trying to move through a document with the cursor keys is not possible, it just does strange things like scrolling on a single line(that is, shows the next line by replacing the first...). This is really annoying and happens only with vte, gnome-terminal does not show this problem (althought gnome-terminal also uses libvte... I just don't understand). First I though it was a problem with my TERM setting, but hacking the code and setting VTE terminal emulation to "xterm-color" resulted in the same issue. Also, I would like to know what can I do to set the TERM to "xterm-color" permanently, since adding TERM=xterm-color in /etc/profile or ~/.profile only sets TERM to "xterm". One last thing... in terminals I'm not able to use the end/start keys of my keyboard... what do I need to enable those? thanks in advance! Edgar Merino This message posted from opensolaris.org
