Terminology still has problems compared to SecureCRT or rxvt-unicode. I have been trying it on and off, as recently as this morning from the latest builds on ppa hannes-janetzek/svn-enlightenment, and if you fill the screen with text, it frequently does the wrong thing with the scrollback buffer, but as far as advanced terminals go, there's nothing for competition with Terminology.
For the neatest demo of what you might want to do, download the development version of Elive -- there is a demonstration showing how the terminal can have a transparent video (or is it rendered EFL/OpenGL?) as a background.
The terminal shows promise, and I don't think I've filed a bug that hasn't been corrected and closed, so if anyone with more expertise can replicate problems as I've described, maybe you should do that.
- jszmajda 14y agoFWIW, the ppa is hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn, and you can try it out in Ubuntu with: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install terminology great effort coming along. I'm sticking with terminator for now but will keep my eye on terminolog.
- buster 14y agoUnfortunately, terminology seems to be broken for me :( [buster@Fry➔ ~] terminology terminology: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libelementary.so.1: undefined symbol: ECORE_X_ATOM_E_ILLUME_ACCESS_ACTION_ACTIVATE
- yebyen 14y agoYou might get this error when your EFL stack needs upgrading. Did you use the PPA? What version of Ubuntu are you on? For me, I wasn't able to finish apt-get upgrade without uninstalling an old libefl and all of its dependencies (some libraries that have been since merged into libefl I think), then installing again. Try doing `apt-get dist-upgrade`
- buster 14y agoI had theefl-trunk installed before, but ppa-purge didn't remove everything, i suppose. Went through libe* libraries and purged whatever came from e17. Installed again.. working now, woohooo!
- yebyen 14y agoI never heard of ppa-purge before. Thanks for playing! :)
- buster 14y agoI'm wondering.. when i hit ctrl-shift-t it seems to open a new terminal? Atleast i get a new prompt.. but no way to switch?
- yebyen 14y agoConfirmed. I have no idea what it's doing, maybe this is preliminary support for tabs. You have more terminals to log out from after ctrl+shift+t.
- buster 14y agoAccording to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5445978 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5445978 CTRL-Pgup and Pgdown, trying tomorrow :)
- CJefferson 14y agoYou misspelt: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn
- jszmajda 14y agoah, so I did. Thanks!

- billiob 14y agoPlease open bug reports on http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/newticket http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/newticket or at least explain your issues here so I know what to fix. Also check in the TODO file if it's not already listed. I'm currently working on text reflow when resizing terminology.
- yebyen 14y agoText reflow accurately characterizes the issues I would think you'd be working on, to fix what I've seen. I just fired up a virtualbox. All you have to do to see the misbehavior is run 'ps wuax' in a regular 80x24 terminology and then go to fullscreen. Your cursor winds up in the middle of the screen, above some of the text that used to show before the cursor, and before the cursor is a big empty space or certainly nothing sensible. I just confirmed that my build from 3/20 has the problem, and a newer build on 3/25 has the same issue. I will file a ticket if you can't reproduce right away, and gladly help out!
