* The Terminal activity gives a simple command prompt similar to that provided by the [[Developer Console]]. |

==Change font size in the Terminal Activity== |
|||
Here is how to increase the print size in the terminal: |
|||
* Launch the Terminal activity. |
|||
* Type |
|||
nano ~/.sugar/default/terminalrc |
|||
* Find the line saying |
|||
Font = Monospace 8 |
|||
And change it to |
|||
Font = Monospace 16 |
|||
(or whatever you want). |
|||
* Press <tt>Control-X</tt> and answer '''Yes''' to save. |
|||
* Close the terminal activity (the X in the top right-hand corner) |
|||
* Re-open the terminal activity, the terminal should now be in larger print. |
|||
==Changing font size in the console== |
|||
There is a console that runs outside of the X Window System (Sugar) environment that can be accessed by typing Ctrl-Alt-[[Image:Mesh key f1 small.png]]. (Note that many Sugar binding are not available in the console, so commands such as sugar-control-panel will not work there.) To increase the font size in the console, type: |
|||
setfont sun12x22 |
|||
(To return to the X Window System environment, type Ctrl-Alt-[[Image:Home key f3 small.png]].) |
|||
==Cutting and Pasting== |
|||
===Using build 650=== |
|||
It is not possible to cut and paste from the terminal to other activities. However you can use the the clipboard function (i.e., to cut and paste) to drop text into a terminal if you attach a 3 button USB mouse to your USB port. After you have copied text from the web page(usually Ctl C), switch to the Terminal activity, put your cursor on the command line and click your middle button. Doing that should cause the text to be copied successfully. |
|||
: Isn't it possible to configure the X Server so that the "double cord" of pressing the left and the right mouse button at the same time, emulate the middle mouse button? But even simpler would be to use the right mouse button for pasting since it is not currently used in the terminal. -- Dov Grobgeld - 2008-01-23 |
|||
Also try "CTRL+SHIFT+V" for paste. |
|||
===gnome-terminal=== |
|||
Chew up some of that precious nand and install gnome-terminal so you can paste those long strings into a shell: |
|||
su -1 |
|||
yum install gnome-terminal |
|||
===Using joyride build 1606=== |
|||
This '''experimental''' OS build has cut & paste included and working. You can update your whole system from the terminal as a [[su|super user]] by typing |
|||
olpc-update joyride-1606 |
|||
[Note to authors: suggest providing (perhaps thru a link elsewhere) any well known pitfalls to using this experimental implementation on an XO used by a child] |
