  • Linux / Pi / SyncTerm Question

    From The Godfather@1337:3/132 to All on Mon Nov 9 19:23:29 2020
    Hey All,

    As most of you know, I'm rather new to Linux.

    I installed SyncTerm on my Pi and all went very well. I rebooted the Pi as Syncterm wasn't showing in the "internet folder" of the drop down menu.

    After rebooting, Syncterm now only loads in debug mode and it's frankly not unusable to call BBS's right now.

    Any suggestions on how to get it out of debug mode?

    Sorry TG I can't help, but you gave me an idea on something I can do with an extra pI I have here. Hook it up to my TV in my living room and call out
    using an extra wireless keyboard and mouse I have.. Sure beats the hell out
    of using my chromebook to VPN into my desktop to call out..

    Glad I could help, not sure where i wrote that, but yeah I have two MSDisplay adapters, one to my TV, the other to a third monitor. When I want to watch TV,












































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































    I have windows on all three monitors .. when I want to learn linux, I run sling












































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































    from windows, broadcast it wirelessly to the TV, then flip an HDMI input to my third monitor, and acces the PI. I too went with a wireless keyboard for the PI. It's great! Of course .. I went wired for my windows machine because I wanted a gaming keyboard and mouse .. just because i could.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "debug mode" but Syncterm compiles as a debug build by default. When you compile it, instead of issuing:

    make

    try issuing

    make RELEASE=1

    and then

    sudo make RELEASE=1 install

    That should install a release build (a build without debugging symbols)

    I'll give that a shot, thanks Andrew. The problem seems to be that for every line of ANSI drawn to the screen, the entire screen redraws the ANSI to that new line, until the ANSI is fully drawn. It's doing so even when loading the phone book, or settings, as an example. Hopefully a recompile will work. I'd have to send you a gmail with video to better illustrate what I mean.
