It would appear that on Nov 19, Oddball did say:
Which is able to copy text and paste it in another tty, however, there is no way to get it to a terminal or textfile in init5.
Not directly perhaps... I have used a simple kludge for that... When I have something on a tty {lets say tty1} that I want to copy, I use the alt+Fkey shortcut to switch to another tty {lets say tty2} and login again. then {on tty2} I'd use vim {or whatever console editor you like} to edit a file {lets say $HOME/ttySnipage.txt} Then using alt+F1, I'd switch back to the tty with the interesting output, mark the interesting text with gpm. {which automatically puts the marked text in gpm's buffer} Then using alt+F2, I'd switch back to the file editing session and paste the "interesting text" into the edited file. Save the file. Then when you get to "init5" open a Konsole or other terminal of your choice, and using an editor (This time you can use a gui editor.) Open the file. Perhaps with: kwrite $HOME/ttySnipage.txt Now you can use the mouse in X to copy and paste the content elsewhere. Or, if your using a gui editor like kwrite, you can most likely mark the text with shifted cursor keys and use ctrl+C & ctrl+V to copy and paste the content to another gui window...
So, i will take a closer look at your 'manual'... ;-) (thanks for your input..)
I note that some of the other posters seem to think you are not actually reading the {expletive deleted} manuals. But what I think I'm seeing is somebody having a hard time understanding the {many expletives deleted} manuals. I know that I almost always have a hard time understanding what they mean myself. I mean I can usually use them to remind me of something I used to know. But if they wanted me to actually learn something new from them, they would do better to include many more actual usage examples, instead of just describing the usage in such highly technical terms that it often merely confuse me. If I'm right all I can say is keep plugging, eventually you'll at least learn some of it. But they are right too. The "man pages" and "info documents" are usually your best source of information on a command. Unfortunately they seem to be written like college text books, with the expectation that the student will be guided by some professor or some such thing. good luck. -- JtWdyP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
