New issue 172 by scotthea...@gmail.com: Crashes or locks up on 3G with iOS4
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/issues/detail?id=172

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed iOS4 + redsnow jailbreak on my 3G
2. Installed MobileTerminal from cydia (got 364.1-10)
3. Downloaded 426 unstable, unzipped on windows, scp'ed the unzipped copy
of Terminal.app over install on iphone.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect a command prompt. On 364 the keyboard appears briefly and then the
app closes. On 426 it stays longer, but still doesn't let me type anything
or show a prompt and eventually disappears.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

3G / iOS4 / windows7

Please provide any additional information below.

ssh works, so bash is working.

[rickwookie]

I can only confirm that I also can't get MobileTerminal to run on my
3GS with iOS4. I installed iOS4 jailbroken using PwnageTool and
installed MobileTerminal using Cydia.
Same issue, opens then exits almost immediately.

Same exact problem, though mobile terminal shows up in the multi-tasking,
quick switch bar, it minimizes or crashes every time it is pulled up.

iPhone 3G, iOS4, redsn0w on Mac

I'm having the same issue. Probably just a bug with the upgrade, developer
will probably fix it shortly. Hopefully!

with iOS4
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/issues/detail?id=172

I re-ran the redsnow jailbreak on my 3G and decided to disable multitasking
(after dealing with a sluggish battery guzzling phone all day). All I did
was re-run redsnow and unchecked the 3G multitasking box, ran cydia twice
and let update whatever it thought was appropriate, and now there is some
version of mobile terminal on my phone that is working. I didn't connect
to itunes at all. I think I'm running the 426 dev build - mobile terminal
looks different than I remember ... clicking on the (i) icon sends me to a
page where none of the preferences do anything. About doesn't do anything
so I can't read back version.

This may or may not help, but I ran it (426 Unstable) through SSH on the
command line and got this:

I can confirm the same error message as HapeMask's on an iPhone 3Gs with
iOS 4.0

I tested version 426 (iPad beta unstable) and it is working but none of the
settings menus are (maybe this is due to the unstable status)

Same here just did a restore to ios4 and jailbroke it with redsn0w 0.9.5b.
Afterwards installed mobileterminal (364.1-10) via Cydia installer. Upon
launching you see the keyboard momentarily and then it goes back to the
main screen.

http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/issues/detail?id=172

v364 is known to not be working -- it will never work because it depends on
private APIs that are missing on the phone.

From my reading of this bug it sounds like people are reprting that v426 is
working. There are some conflicting reports, but I expect they are
confusion about which version is installed, or a bad jailbreak. It is
missing a lot of features because it is a complete re-write. See
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/wiki/Roadmap for more details.

I had to delete the old 364.1-10 from Cydia and copy 426 to the Application
folder. Coping over the folder didn't work . Then has to "chomd 644 *"
then "chmod ugo+x Terminal" in the Terminal.app Directory (3GS, ios 4,
jailbroken with PwnageTool)

MobileTerminal releases appear on the googlecode site -- If you want to
make them available via Cydia you are welcome to. (I have never released
mobileterminal via Cydia, but somehow it always ends up there)

When installing Mobile Terminal through Cydia you are not getting the cURL
dependency which the new Terminal needs.
Just install cURL and it will work out alright.
It did for me.

Note: If u do not know how to install cURL, just install apt-7 strict
through cydia which includes cURL as a dependency.

Why do you think MobileTerminal has a dependency on cURL? I've never heard

My bad, I was researching something when I read about the curl dependency,
turns out it was for another software and when I tried it I installed
several libraries as well.

When I tried mobile terminal again it launched successfully so I presumed
that was the issue.

426 works with 3GS 32GB with AutoInstall!

De-Install MobileTerminal.

Download the deb file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/40168036...rminal-426.deb

Then load your SSH client. (I prefer T-PoT for Total Commander to copy
files)

Browse to /var/root/Media/

Create a new folder called Cydia and inside that folder another folder
called AutoInstall (both are case-sensitive) -- With T-PoT you can create
the Folders on your hard disk and move them to the Media folder if you
don't know the correct commands to create folders.

Now copy the .deb file into the AutoInstall folder. Then reboot AND
respring.

After the reboot it will be installed, after the respring you will find it
on your springboard!

Works fine for me! :-)

Worked on iphone4 8gb 4.0.1

Downloaded http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BOLJJMFG
Used iPhoneBrowser to copy .deb to /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall
Rebooted & resprung, but had to reboot again for the icon to show.

Seems to work, though the only gestures I can perform are copy/paste.

Don't forget to change your root passwds!

I installed this on my ipod 2.1, running iOS 4.0, Cydia 1.0.3222-73

From the GUI the application starts and quick exits.

If I ssh into the ipod and run the terminal from command prompt, I got this
message :

-----

Looks like a compilation issues.

I can also confirm v426 working on iPhone4/iOS4 with a few bugs. Swipe
gestures not working and preferences menu is broken. Fixing gestures should
be a priority as inputting control sequences is a long tedious process with
the bullet character.

I found the issue with the crashing.
With a clean, fresh install, nothing else on my iPod 2G on iOS 4, the
ownership on Terminal.app must be root:admin.
The permissions on the executable, /Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal,
must be 755.

I can confirm that lpq430's solution (comment 37) works. I'm using an iPad
3.2.1 and, after manually copying v426 to the iPad (using SFTP), I had to
recursively change permissions to 755 and ownership to root:admin. Now
mobileterminal opens and runs.

Same issue with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1

App launches then disappears into the background.

More over, breaks sync for me. iTunes reports error 0xE8004002 and can't
complete sync.

Removing terminal app cures this.

You really should just upload the latest working version (seems to be 426)
to cydia with a note that it's a an unfinished alpha release or whatever.
Somewhat working is a LOT better than not working at all.

Nice job! It works alright by copying the Terminal-426-unstable.zip to
/private/var/stash/Applications/ with scp.

scp Terminal-426-unstable.zip
ro...@192.168.1.10:/private/var/stash/Applications/
or again, with pscp:
pscp Terminal-426-unstable.zip
ro...@192.168.1.10:/private/var/stash/Applications/

Then:
ssh ro...@192.168.1.10
unzip Terminal-426-unstable.zip

respring

voila

By the way, you need to have openssh and unzip package for this to work.

Once connected via ssh, don't forget to change your root password because
by default the root password is alpine.

How to change it?

su -
type password (alpine)
passwd (type that)
change your password :)

Well it took some time to find this page and yeah this fixes it. But it
certainly took a long time (31 comments) for someone to actually tell us
non tech heads how to actually get and install this fix. So for that,
thanks to schice (#31) and subsequent posters. Especially about where to
put it and what to do with it ;^P

@Cory and Christ, you both refer to the FSM page, but as Alan has said it
has nothing to do with Curl, so I don't think this author knows what he's
really talking about.

Anyway, glad to get this fixed.. woot woot

If Allen would like to get MobileTerminal 426 in Cydia, he should
personally contact one of the major repositories, such as BigBoss, to get
it hosted. The repository maintainers do not like (nor should they like)
working with third parties who are trying to get stuff hosted, as it means
that maintenance and other correspondence will be going through someone
largely uninvolved. Please: DO NOT submit MobileTerminal to Cydia unless
you are Allen Porter.

As for the current MobileTerminal package in Cydia, it is much more
functional than revision 426, but does not currently work on iOS 4. What
made MobileTerminal useful/interesting was its intricate gesture support,
allowing for modifiers like control, special keys like escape, and entire
commands to be bound to fast movements on the screen. MobileTerminal 426,
meanwhile, doesn't even support scrolling the terminal screen.

It is therefore incredibly depressing to the core community of users of
MobileTerminal that the development has taken the direction it has: users
of the existing copy of MobileTerminal simply cannot be upgraded to
the "latest" release, as it frankly is an entirely unrelated project. It is
my personal opinion that Allen should have renamed this new version of
MobileTerminal to something different, like "MobileTerminal Redux" or
something, to indicate this.

Due to this confusion, when and if MobileTerminal "426" is released to
Cydia, it simply cannot be listed as a direct upgrade to
MobileTerminal "364". When and if this occurs, the current "MobileTerminal"
package will be renamed to "MobileTerminal Classic" or something, but
retain its package identifier, so existing users can safely continue using
it until MobileTerminal manages to regain the functionality that it once
had.

Now, it /is/ understood that users of MobileTerminal on iOS 4 currently
have issues. However, in the grand scheme of things, not many people were
actually using iOS 4 on jailbroken devices until the very recent
jailbreakme.com exploit release last week. In order to maintain the current
level of functionality for these users, I have been forced (again) to step
in and maintain the old (awesome) branch of MobileTerminal. I do not like
doing this, and was hoping someone else would step up to the plate, but I
will continue to do so until such time as there is a viable replacement. :(

Users who wish to help test this new version can obtain it at the following
direct .deb URL. It should be noted that this revision isn't quite right on
all devices, having some interesting visual artifacts due to the new way in
which it is being rendered. I believe that this can be fixed, but I may end
up pushing this release anyway with the old binary also included, doing a
selection "is the user on iOS 4? ok, then use XXX binary" when the program
is run.

@saurik awesome work! MobileTerminal just got usable again :-)

Aside from the low-resolution-ness on the iPhone 4 and a few crashes, seems
to be working just like it used to! And I agree, definitely don't push out
the current version of MobileTerminal as a direct replacement for the old
one until it gets much more mature... Does Cydia have a mechanism for
different versions to be installed depending on OS version/device? Or would
that need to be something you add in?

Followed both methods (getting the Terminal.app from here and the .deb and
changing permissions).
Nothing worked, still crashes on launch. Now, right before the terminal
disappears, I can see the message:
"login: PAM error (line 396): System error"

Hello,
I also experience the issues described by the OP.
Release version displays black on screen then app minimises (task is still
running in background), but 426 doesn't open at all.

How can I subscribe to receive update information?
I'm just trying to change my default root password so I don't have to keep
installing & uninstalling OpenSSH just to stay safe.

Thankyou,
Dax.

Dax: To subscribe to this issue, you need to "star" the issue, and you will
get e-mail updates. If you have OpenSSH installed, you can change the
password by logging in using an ssh client (just 'ssh' on unix or get PuTTY
for Windows). You change the password through the ssh client the same way
you would with mobileterminal - namely, run 'passwd'.

saurik, thanks again! I used Winscp to move the updated mobileterminal
package to the AutoInstall directory and after a hard restart and respring
it showed up and works great.

Now if I could just figure out how to get the background to change for 3g
on iOS4 ugh

glaskart is very bland with just a black background haha

@dave

I do have Winterboard but 3g with OS4 have their background wallpapers
locked to default unless you install a theme that changes it. Problem is
the whole point of the Glaskart theme is to use a user wallpaper with the
translucent icons to make it look cool.

I did however just find a fix for re-enable the ability to set a background
for 3g phones with OS4

@simon:

Another way would be to simply copy the .deb to ~/ (/var/mobile) and either
use (sudo dpkg -i mobileterminal*.deb) or open it with iFile and install it.
After that, only a reload of the springboard or a respring is necessiary
(<-- hopefully spelled right)

426 works with 3GS 32GB with AutoInstall!

De-Install MobileTerminal.

Download the deb file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/40168036...rminal-426.deb

Then load your SSH client. (I prefer T-PoT for Total Commander to copy
files)

Browse to /var/root/Media/

Create a new folder called Cydia and inside that folder another folder
called AutoInstall (both are case-sensitive) -- With T-PoT you can create
the Folders on your hard disk and move them to the Media folder if you
don't know the correct commands to create folders.

Now copy the .deb file into the AutoInstall folder. Then reboot AND
respring.

After the reboot it will be installed, after the respring you will find it
on your springboard!

Works fine for me on a JB iPhone 3G 0s4.0

Yeah, we could make the old one compatible with 4.x, but why?
