But in order to patch it you have to understand it first. So I'm providing feedback how we could make it easier to understand, so more people can run it, and learn it, and make patches. I'm hoping to make some patches myself in the next few months. I admit I am kind of slow because I only work on DPDK in my spare time right now. Matthew.

Hi Matthew, Every software has bugs. pktgen is a great tool and we appreciate it as is. I would prefer we discuss a patch rather that questioning a functionality implemented way ago...

You can disable the themes or colors by not including the -T option on the command line.

This is going to break the tool people who use a Linux standard framebuffer with no X also, isn't it? Matthew.

Keith, For the record, on my end (can only speak for myself) this is not a real problem. I work around it by using a different theme and live with it happily ever after. I just provided the input since I encountered it. /Arnon On Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 5:27 PM, Wiles, Keith wrote: > > From: Arnon Warshavsky mailto:arnon at qwilt.com>> > Date: Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 9:04 AM > To: "Keith Wiles (Intel)" keith.wiles at intel.com>> > Cc: Matthew Hall mailto:mhall at mhcomputing.net>>, > " > dev at dpdk.org<mailto:dev at dpdk.org>" mailto:dev at > dpdk.org>> > Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PKTGEN] additional terminal IO question > > Keith, > On my end I'm ending with black on black with Konsole 2.3.3 on Centos 6.5 > starting as green on black. > > I changed my console to green on black and got the same results.

I changed my console to green on black and got the same results. When I quit Pktgen the cursor color and text return to green. I can not set the cursor color different from the text color on this terminal. This maybe a problem with kconsole. Using xterm the cursor and text are restored as well. I would need to install a Centos 6.5 with Konsole. I can run konsole, but the setting will not allow me to adjust the colors most likely it needs more then just konsole installed with this MATE window system. Even in this default state of black on white the cursor returns as black with black text, which could be the problem???

Black background gets me to the blind reset as well. Pktgen is the only tab I keep with non black background..

If I try using pktgen theme mode (-T) or unmodified, without commenting out some of the stuff I mentioned I disabled for debugging in the previous thread, it seems like it sets the pktgen prompt to be invisible (black text on black??? or I'm not sure just want) on my TTY which has a black background. If you quit the app it does not reset the colors so my shell is also invisible, until I blindly run the reset command. Did anybody else try it on a black background? Did anybody else see these issues with it as well? Matthew.
