Hi there...

How do I open a terminal in xbmclive? I used to use an application called putty on my PC but i am at a friends house trying to help him set it up but he only has a copy of xubuntu...

How can I open a terminal window in xbmclive either on the system itself or from a xubuntu computer

Thanks in advance

no what i am askign is what application can i use on a xubuntu install to port into xbmc.. like on the PC I use PUTTY... but that app dose not apear to be in the linux ppa or w/e it is called.

terminal is the app which is pretty straight forward. Tghers also putty linux ports, google for how to.

google ssh via terminal or use a putty linux port.

In Linux I use terminal and windows putty.

yes, but ssh in terminal didn't want to do what I, its master, said when I had to use it.
Furthermore putty does exists in linux. Consult google or consider if it perhaps is case sensitive. I dont remember the details, but it installed without problem.

aptitude show putty

Description: Telnet/SSH client for X
This is the Unix port of the popular Windows ssh client, PuTTY. It supports flexible terminal setup, mid-session reconfiguration using Ctrl-rightclick,
multiple X11 authentication protocols, and various other interesting things not provided by ssh in an xterm.

And ssh via Terminal does everything the MASTER wants, unless master is making mistakes.

[vikjon0]

hehe. Yes, I guess it does but putty is a more willing servant.

[X3lectric]

lol, hows is an emulator which connects to xterm easier then the real thing direct?

dont answer that otherwise we gonna be here forever.

[vikjon0]

Well, I am no stranger to the command line. I think I got pist about how it behaved on disconnected or something like that. I dont remember. I only used it once and then linux/putty once.
EDIT: Actually, putty on win also pisses me off with its behavior on disconnect

I think you are confused.

[vikjon0]

I think you are confused.

Don't worry about it. We made a few jokes. It may look like confusion.

In case we did not make our point clear:
1) You can run an ssh client in the terminal.
2) If you dont like that, putty does indeed exist in Ubuntu.

Nothing confusing about that!
