| MauritiusRay | hello, using lubuntu lts focal Im trying to update qterminal to a higher version than my current 14.1. I tried this: added ppa "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-ci/stable-ci" and "sudo apt update" I then see a 15 git version available but when I try to full upgrade it wont. so I try to upgrade only qterminal and it tells me it relies on | 09:54 |
|---|---|---|
| MauritiusRay | broken dependancy : | 09:54 |
| MauritiusRay | "Dépend: libqtermwidget5-0 (>= 0.15.0) mais 0.14.1+git201910240002~focal-0ubuntu1~ppa1 devra être installé | 09:55 |
| MauritiusRay | E: Paquets défectueux" | 09:55 |
| MauritiusRay | (sorry my console is in french) | 09:55 |
| MauritiusRay | is there a better way / workaround ? | 09:56 |
| kc2bez[m] | MauritiusRay: It won't be possible to cherry pick specific packages like that, all the dependencies need to get installed too. That ppa is not intended to be used for production machines. | 10:13 |
| MauritiusRay | ouch okay, so no way to get higher qterminal version while on LTS | 10:14 |
| MauritiusRay | ? | 10:14 |
| kc2bez[m] | To get the new versions you would need to move to a newer release (e.g. 20.10 or in less than a month 21.04) | 10:14 |
| MauritiusRay | not LTS so I'm left with something buggy until 22? | 10:16 |
| MauritiusRay | (drop down) | 10:16 |
| MauritiusRay | is there any as good or better qtbased terminal? | 10:17 |
| MauritiusRay | I tried CRT and love its look but has no tabs nor dropdown | 10:18 |
| kc2bez[m] | If there are bugs please report them. We may be able to apply patches to older versions depending on the issue. | 10:18 |
| MauritiusRay | there s qlso little doc qbout the feature so im not sure its a bug | 10:19 |
| MauritiusRay | *also | 10:19 |
| MauritiusRay | *about | 10:19 |
| kc2bez[m] | If resources are not an issue konsole might be an option. | 10:21 |
| MauritiusRay | my shortcut for dropdown terminal does not seem to work | 10:21 |
| MauritiusRay | ressources are an issue, thatś why I picked lubuntu and lxqt | 10:22 |
| MauritiusRay | I sound like ranting but I'm not... this distribution is awesome. Im just inexperienced to setup my shortcut I guess | 10:23 |
| kc2bez[m] | So the drop-down terminal does not work with any shortcut? I think by default it is F12 | 10:23 |
| MauritiusRay | Am I right assuming that any qt based program is always a better choice than not on lubuntu lxqt ? | 10:24 |
| MauritiusRay | I need F12 for my other app main tool | 10:25 |
| MauritiusRay | so I put something else | 10:25 |
| kc2bez[m] | Ah, got it. I am not sure I have tried that before. | 10:25 |
| MauritiusRay | this does somewhat work but is the shortcut supposed to cycle the terminal between hidden and on? | 10:26 |
| MauritiusRay | because it seemed to open another | 10:26 |
| kc2bez[m] | it is good to stick with something qt but isn't absolutely necessary. If it uses another toolkit you will need to pull in more libraries. | 10:27 |
| MauritiusRay | indeed and I like the look and feel of qt bqsed so fqr | 10:28 |
| MauritiusRay | far | 10:28 |
| kc2bez[m] | If the the shortcut you picked is used for something else it might cause strange results. | 10:28 |
| MauritiusRay | checking right now | 10:28 |
| MauritiusRay | I found absolutely no clue to what the locker Icon does... | 10:30 |
| MauritiusRay | my shortcut was the only one using that key. I set it back to F12 for better approaching my desired solution | 10:31 |
| MauritiusRay | so without lock it does hide back but brings a new one every time loosing my content | 10:33 |
| MauritiusRay | Or is a drop down terminal supposed to kill any current instance every time you hide it? | 10:36 |
| kc2bez[m] | I don't think it should, no. | 10:38 |
| kc2bez[m] | It doesn't seem to in my test VM. | 10:40 |
| kc2bez[m] | I can start htop and roll the terminal up and down and htop is still running. | 10:41 |
| MauritiusRay | what does the shortcut command look like : qterminal -d | 10:44 |
| MauritiusRay | ? | 10:44 |
| kc2bez[m] | That is to initially start the dropdown I think. After that is should stay running. | 10:46 |
| kc2bez[m] | looks like `qterminal --drop` is the command in the desktop file. | 10:47 |
| MauritiusRay | im using the lubuntu preferences configurable shortcut are you not ? once there the shortcut has to stay | 10:47 |
| kc2bez[m] | No, i don't think I set anything there. There is a setting in the qterminal preferences for the roll/up down feature. | 10:50 |
| MauritiusRay | --drop also works but exactly same result : bringing a new instance once out of two presses (second press does close) | 10:50 |
| MauritiusRay | ah... ahhhh | 10:50 |
| MauritiusRay | tryin | 10:50 |
| MauritiusRay | it removes my shortcut :7 | 10:52 |
| kc2bez[m] | hmm, that is strange. So it changed it back to F12? | 10:54 |
| MauritiusRay | it makes it empty | 10:55 |
| MauritiusRay | if I put F12 it stays F12 but doesnt even work | 10:55 |
| MauritiusRay | also the lock icon is no longer there | 10:55 |
| kc2bez[m] | I have to go AFK for my drive to work. If you think you have a bug please file one or you can open up a thread on discourse.lubuntu.me where other folks can chime in too. | 10:58 |
| MauritiusRay | thanks so far | 11:00 |
| MauritiusRay | I lost too much time what I want to do is more complex: a drop down with a few vim tabs and a bash to launch esily every time. | 11:02 |
