Logging and Scrolling Issue for new user.

[trimbletodd]

Three problems I currently have:

1) Sometimes, a particular window will stop scrolling.  Instead of scrolling up and down the output, it scrolls through my command history.  I also cannot scroll up or down using up/down scroll arrows or Alt+Shift+PgUp.  I can't figure out how to get into this mode, as it seems to happen randomly.

2) I cannot figure out how to scroll up a few lines (ideally one line) by keyboard shortcut.  I have to use the mouse, or scroll an entire page.

3) Logging is not working.  I created ~/.terminator/logs, but no files are being written there.  Permissions are 755 for the directories.

Any help is much appreciated. I feel like these are relatively easy questions, but I haven't found any easy answers yet.  

Minus these hiccups, I'm enjoying using terminator so far.

You don't say what you're doing to provoke scrolling through your command history.  Perhaps you're pressing a key, or a combination of keys, but it's not clear what.

What are "scroll arrows": the buttons next to the scrollbar or the cursor keys?

 

> I also cannot scroll up or down using ... Alt+Shift+PgUp

 

Nor can I, but Shift-PgUp works for me.  Why do think Alt+Shift+PgUp should - is there a mistake in our menu annotations, our screenshots or is this a shortcut from some other program that you think we should be emulating?

The Scrollback menu's Line Up item suggests a shortcut of Alt+Up, which works for me.

Jessies Terminator creates that itself, so is it possible that you've come to the wrong mailing list entirely?  That would explain a certain degree of confusion.  http://software.jessies.org/terminator/faq.html#this-is-not-gnome-terminator  That might not be the reason: I can imagine circumstances, particularly on Windows, where we might fail to work out the right home directory.  The contents of File, Show Info, Log Filename might help, as might Help, Debugging Tools, Show Debugging Messages, which would also clarify exactly which version of which platform you're using.

The name conflict certainly helps clear up some confusion.  I am using Terminator 0.95 from tenshu.net, but was definitely looking Jessie's page for some help.  Running Ubuntu 11.04 Gnome (not Unity)

When I'm in this locked mode, when I scroll my mouse up or down, it scrolls through the command history, instead of scrolling the windows.

I was referring to the buttons above and below the scrollbar.  The scrollbar slider (?) expands to take the entire window.

I'm used to using the standard gnome-terminal, where Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down goes up or down one line, so I simply tried Alt+Shift+PgUp/PgDown and it worked.  Turns out that Alt+Shift+PgUp/PgDown works the same as Shift+PgUp/PgDown.  (But not when it's locked, as I was referencing)

The Scrollback menu's Line Up item suggests a shortcut of Alt+Up, which works for me.

Alt+Up does not work for me.

My window doesn't even have a drop-down for File or Help, so I'm guessing I'm in the wrong group.  There must be a third terminator?  Apologies.

I think there's only two, but you're using the other one.
