Anyone having a problem with the backspace key in terminal? It seems to act like a spacebar...
 
Regarding the Terminal BUG

Though in the screen the backspace key doesnt seem to be working, in the background it is. Tried it out, and the same bug goes for the moyashi port.
diparodi.

There is a Terminal program via the Moyashi source, but I've never instaled it, and I'm not even positive that it is in english...
 
That is not 1.1.3 issue.
I am still on 1.1.2 but updated BSD subsystem to 2.0 version.
I have a same backspace problem, and 'top' command has a problem.
When I try 'top' then I see an error message regarding 'network'.
Hope these issues are fixed soon.
 
You are correct.
Its not issue with 1.1.3.

I have version 1.1.1 still I have same issue after installation of BSD Subsystem to 2.0 version.

I have a same backspace problem, and 'top' command has a problem.
When I try 'top' then I see an error message regarding 'network'.
Hope these issues are fixed soon.

Backspace problem is only with zsh shell of BSD Subsystem 2.0.
Bash SHELL it works for me without any issue.

Just type in bash on command prompt to get bash shell
Problem with passwd and top commands.
 
I'm having the same issue. Term-vt100 is asking for a password. I've tried alpine and it doesn't work. Please help.
 
For the backspace issue, there is a simple fix. Please SSH to your phone or run term-vt100 directly on the phone and create a file ".profile" (without double quotes) in the /var/root directory. Simply put these two lines in and restart term-vt100 and you are good to go.

TERM=ansi
export TERM

For the password issue, it's actually caused by the SUID not properly set. Please add this source (http://trejan.com/irepo) to installer and install the following package. First "SUID Lib Fix", then "Term-vt100 SUID fix".

You will still be asked for a password. Simply type in alpine.
 
Got it and it works... I'm less terminal savvy but seems like all the fixes do are setting the permission to circumvent the limitation of user "mobile". Most of you can just ssh into the ipod and issues the following commands to get equivalent results.

SUID Lib Fix:

mkdir -p /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib
ln -sf /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib

Term-vt100 SUID fix:

chmod +s /Applications/Term-vt100.app/Term-vt100
 
I installed the "SUID Lib Fix". After that everything stopped working!
Every third-party-app besides the installer crashes after start.

I tried to connect with SSH to fix the problem, but:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib
Referenced from: /bin/ls
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib: stat() failed with errno=62

This happens with every Unix-command.

My only hope is, that i can fix it with SCP. This seems to work.

PLEASE CAN ANYBODY TELL ME HOW I CAN UNDO THE CHANGES FROM THAT F****** SUID LIB FIX?
 
Can't find terminal definition...

I have tried every posted solution to how to fix the "the cursor does not delete, it moves forward" problem.

I am running BSD 2.0 on 1.1.3 JB with MobileTerminal (latest version of Term-vt100) build 206. I have patched the login problem and patched the SUID Lib and build 206 to address the login. However, when I type with the backspace it moves forward.

When I try the TERM=ansi... export TERM solution (interactively or in the .profile) I get the same error... "Can't find terminal definition for..."

Any suggestions?
 
vt100 TERM problem due to BSD

I discovered the solution to this issue by luck. Apparently after the "Official 1.1.3 Dev Team" JB upgrade the BSD system has to be re-installed. I tried installing an application that was dependent on the BSD and it indicated it was not installed.

After re-installing, setting the TERM=ansi... export TERM solution solved the backspace issue with no errors.
 
Hi,

is there a solution for the problems Tscherno mentioned?
I did the same boonleng describes but now also get the error about
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib

I can't just remove the symlink because with mv or rm I get the same error :(

any help appreciated

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but i found a solution. For whatever reason u get the
Code:
Library not loaded: /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib
error

Open ssh, then type this in the terminal.

ln -s /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib

this should fix it, no matter what the reason is. I used this bcuz once u install iSlsk it gives u this error.
