Hi, I'm running vector linux 5.9 light and the terminal program that is included really blows. (can't copy or paste to it, and can't even scroll).

Is there any way to get a different one, or change the one I have to add more functionality. Or am I stuck with what I got.

I tried Google but I couldn't find anything helpful.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Do you mean the terminal emulator that runs within the GUI environment? If so, there are dozens available. I like VTE based terminals, like Sakura.

I prefer to use 'konsole' (from the KDE project) even under Gnome and other non-KDE window managers.
'Yakuake' is also gaining popularity (it's a Quake-style terminal, whatever that means), but I usually find myself flocking back to 'konsole' every time I start evaluating other terminals.

linux

sure, there's konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm, aterm, rxvt, etc..

I don't know of such a terminal that doesn't allow copy/paste.

Most of them can do that by just selecting text with your mouse, then clicking the middle button or pressing shift+insert. Usually shift+arrows or shift+page down/up will scroll, and the mouse wheel does the same.

However I don't know what does vector linux use by default, and I haven't used every terminal under the sun either, so it might be an exception to the general rule

Other have already suggested alternative terminals so I think that that is covered in the thread already.

Thanks for the replies!
I will have a look at some of your suggestions.
Now that I think about it, what a silly question.

I think the included terminal was xterm, but it was really weird.

Thanks again!
