Have you tried manually installing Terminal-426-unstable from the Google code site? Just copy the whole folder into /var/stash/Applications.

I may as well just do that. Ill add the source later. Thanks latin.

EDIT: Anyone have an icon for Terminal? Its just showing as a white square for me.

Not exactly, but if someone stole your phone or you lost it, you’d be vulnerable. Other than that, you’re okay from someone using wifi to get into your phone.

So I'm safe even from accidentally browsing a malicious website, since the jailbreak now allows unsigned code?

I jb only for sb settings and maybe a tweak or two... I don't go downloading every package I see... 🙂

Oh and iFile if I need it.

Just respring. It's an icon cache issue.

N00B questions, please be kind 🙂

I finally got around to jailbreaking my iPod Touch (iOS4.0) ant the first thing I wanted to get working was a terminal app.

First I tried the one in Cydia - which didn't work at all. Then I started Googling around (had not found this thread yet).

I picked up the unstable-426 version and copied it over from my Mac using ssp. It ended up in /Volumes/root/Applications. Others seem to be putting it into /var/stash/Applications, which isn't in my PATH, and doesn't appear to be a link (alias). What's that all about?
I ssh'd into the iPod and chmod +x to Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal and rebooted the iPod.

I have an icon, and the program works = sort of.

- There doesn't seem to be any way to scroll back. The gestures sometimes work to get the keyboard to hide, but then I can't get it back. I really mis a <Tab> key and an up-arrow! There are a few useful things like ^C on the menu accessed by the (^) button, but I can't figure out how to edit that menu to add more choices. Similarly, the (i) button teases with a list of configuration options but no obvious way to change them. I can't find anything that looks like a configuration file under Terminal.app

Finaly, Tee said:

you MUST remember, to click the checkbox at the bottom that says, "Set owner, groupls and permissions recursively". I had the same problem because I'd forgotten this VERY important step in the process, and it also did not work after several resprings. Now that I checked that after SSHing it since I got frustrated and deleted it when it didn't work, THEN realized.. I needed to do this..

...what checkbox at the bottom of what window? and what is a "respring" - same as reboot??

Thanks
Walt

Add the xsellize repo in Cydia and install in through there. That's what I did and it works just fine.

this worked first time, flawlessly. i had trouble trying to ssh to iphone 4 and install in /var/stash/applications

I use iSSH and connect to localhost. Works great.
