having a couple minor glitches needing working out
three questions, first
i have put in the default inputrc from chapter 7.7 Code:
# Begin /etc/inputrc Code:
second i can't switch virtual consoles by hitting ctl-alt-X or ctl-X nor does clt-alt-backspace work when running X third how do i enable the framebuffer console? |
I don't really understand your first 2 questions but to enable the framebuffer you need to recompile your kernel. In menuconfig go to:
Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> Console display driver support ---> [ ] Framebuffer Console support You may need to enable some of the other options under Graphics support, it all depends on your hardware. If you have hardware that supports kernel mode setting and you enable it you should get a framebuffer console by default |

i tried hitting ctl-alt-f1-f7 but all i see (when in an xterminal) is $5Q5P5R etc...

When X is up and running you don't need to be in a (x)terminal to use those key-combo's. Hope this helps. |
no it seems my keyboard is mapped incorrectly or something because at a virtual console typing f1-57 simply gives ABCDE~~ respectively (one character per fkey)

Hi,
I am curious about something: You mention doing LFS chapter 7.7 (the inputrc file) and you talk about X. X is part of BLFS (One of the later chapters). Did you build LFS and BLFS? If BLFS was done, you might want to have a look at X Window System Components, especially the Setting up Keyboards part (XkbModel and XkbLayout). And these 2 links could also be of help: - The XKB Configuration Guide - How to further enhance XKB configuration You answer "no" to this question: Quote:
Hope this helps. |
yes i built lfs and am working on blfs
its just now i have Xorg built and im just now noticing the problem as for the command prompt not wrapping like its supposed to i've known about it but havnt really cared until now as for where i see the characters they appear at a bash prompt when i hit the fkeys |
hmm it also seems the alt key doesn't behave as it is supposed to
|
grr... now i feel like a partial idiot, i got my ctl-alt problem fixed, i had a broken keyboard
still havnt figured out though while the shell isn't wrapping like it should |

the framebuffer part helped
but i already HAD that line set to off when i posted it unless it should be on? |
Hi,
The framebuffer wasn't what you were talking about in post #10...... Quote:

yeah i get that, but it seems to be ignoring that file because it IS set to off and behaving like it is set to ON that is the problem
|
Hi,
Off is the default value (assuming the LFS book was followed). This should make the line wrap (at least in the console and xterm, I checked). Are the permissions of the file correct (644 / rw-r--r--)? I'm not sure what you have tried in the mean time, but if you change the file you do need to re-log in and if it was done from X you need to stop X as well. What does set | grep -i input show? If you see a line like INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc you can be sure that it was seen and loaded by bash. Hope this helps. |
