  • VTE related stuff question : add copy clipboard feature.
    1 project | /r/gnome | 8 Feb 2022
    I hope it's still related to GNOME since vte is developed by GNOME (isn't it?), so I build a simple vte terminal, it's based on vbeterm , I was able to add "copy and paste primary" feature, but have no clue to add "copy to clipboard" feature (there is a depecrated version, vte_terminal_copy_clipboard). Any clue? Thanks.

  • Ubuntu GNOME only has xterm and uxterm
    1 project | /r/Ubuntu | 25 May 2022
    `xterm` is the default terminal of `xorg`, which a basic emulator. Not sure what you mean by "basic" terminal, there is a list of most used terminals: linux-terminal-emulators. An example of basic and desktop independent terminal would be lxterminal. To install it, run in a terminal `sudo apt update && sudo apt install lxterminal`.
  • LXQt 1.0.0
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Nov 2021
    It’s a bit more than a rebranding, being completely rebased on a different framework, and LXDE still gets some work, for example, LXTerminal has commits from September. [0]
