Fwd: Ctrl+Alt+T Broken

[Michael Krebs]

I noticed that Ctrl+Alt+T no longer brings up a crosh window.  I'm guessing this was not an intentional change, or did I miss a PSA about this?

Through a binary search, I found it stopped working with Chrome OS 1669.0.0 -- which was from Feb 2nd.

Offhand -- looking through http://chromeos-images.corp.google.com/diff/report?from=1668.0.0&to=1669.0.0 -- the only thing that stood out to me was the change "Update inputproto for X.Org 1.12" (https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=chromiumos/overlays/portage-stable.git;a=commitdiff;h=9750c53).  But I have no clue if that could actually cause this.

Anybody else run into this and know what broke?

It must be due to the default build switch to Aura (happened on Feb
2nd).
According to http://crbug.com/105649, we are shifting to HTML
terminal.

as Kazuhiro said, this is "by design". if you install hterm, it
should make things work better. otherwise, you'll have to use VT2.

Yes it is by design. Note that I believe that VT2 will only be available in dev mode.

How are you supposed to run the commands that earlier we used crosh for?

Example: modem-set-carrier

../NiR

[Sonny Rao]

I've been wondering the same thing... I suspect our users will also be
irritated if they cannot run top or ping like they used to -- at least
one user here will be :-)
Do we have solutions for all these things lined up?

[Mike Frysinger]

install hterm, or use VT2 for now

the state you're seeing is not the final state R19 should ship in. a
large change has landed (aura) and there will be some growing pains
until we get back up to feature parity wrt crosh.

Hterm is here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo

I believe once that's installed, ctrl-alt-t will work again. If not,
launch hterm and type "crosh" as the destination.

For development/debugging, I'm often on a machine that's wiped clean logged in as guest. Ctrl-Alt-F2 it is...

Neither of those work for me. I just get a blank page. hterm itself works - I can connect to my dev box. I have TOT from yesterday, and am using hterm 0.6.5.

ctrl-alt-f2 works.

[Robert Ginda]

Can you check the js console when you're at the blank page?

[Achuith Bhandarkar]

[Robert Ginda]

Nah, that was my fault. I've just uploaded 0.6.7 to the store which
should fix the issue.

Uh, uploading extensions is hard. I'm going to need to spin it one
more time. Expect 0.6.8 any minute now.

[Robert Ginda]

0.6.8 is live.

[Achuith Bhandarkar]

It works! Awesome!

[Michael Krebs]

Ah.. I had tried hterm, but didn't know about "crosh" as the destination.  Nice!

Can/Should we make hterm an installed extension by default when in dev mode?  I thought there was some way to install default, non-synced extensions for Chrome.

BTW, I really wish that there had been an announcement for this.  I was not the only one confused by the missing functionality.

Can someone put up a transition sites page or something for this?  I can do a first pass at it, if I can figure out where it should go.  I think the key is that hterm needs to be installed, with "crosh" used as the destination.  VT2 should be mentioned too, but it's not the same (e.g. no cut-and-paste, no scrolling as far is I can tell, can't run multiple shells at once, etc.).

Grrr.. the latest update just killed hterm for me. I have a screen
session inside hterm that used to work fine on 0.6.5 (and still does
on regular xterms) but now it consistently gets "stuck" after I ssh
and kick off with "screen -x". Will try to roll back to 0.6.5

Thanks to Rob for figuring out it was a known hang with large amounts
of text. He is working on a fix. For a workaround you can clear/reset
your terminal on screen from elsewhere and then reconnect.

Awesome job Rob.

How come searching for "hterm" in the internal store doesn't find anything?

"feature" ... you have to use the exact URL and source IP has to be google corp

Until this thread, the crx wasn't publicly announced :P. At the
moment the crx is restricted to internal IPs. We'll make it available
to all soon.

Rob.

[Bill Richardson]

Ah. I can see it but it won't install over the SPDY proxy. Google-A is not handing out IP addresses at the moment.

Thanks
