Konsole. What terminal actually uses bash for the heavy lifting?
Well, I started out attempting to play along in xfce4-terminal and received:
bash: tmp/cmd.log: No such file or directory
Next I tried konsole which surprised me when it was already installed.
That's when I noticed there's no "/" in front of tmp so I added it.
Was then advised that "cmd" is not installed. I took that as a sign of
progress.
That makes me now ask: What error message are you receiving IF you are
receiving error feedback? Mine's now acting like it would perform
properly if "cmd" was installed.
Cindy :)
N.B. Now remember why konsole is installed. It's still majorly doing
all kinds of hinky BAD things with text input. It's still throwing in
extra spacing and lunging text all over the place. YUCK.
My mistake Cindy. And I don't recall ever seeing it do that here. I like
it because it can do tabs, so I have ssh sessions open to all my other
machines all on one workspace. From the only comfy chair for that sort
of thing in the whole house. ;o)>
I should have prefaced cmd with a $ sign but forgot to add it in my
post, cmd was meant to be whatever I wanted to trace, in this case
digiKam which is the current 8.1.0 AppImage, probably updated by now as
the do that about monthly but not yet. Sorry for the confusion. Greg
sorted me out, and my several year old dead tree 500 page tome on bash
scripting is out of date.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
