Ubuntu screen profiles in SUSE Linux¶
What is this all about?¶
I like the look of screen application in Ubuntu, this feature is provided by screen-profiles package, which is not present in SUSE Linux (SLES 11).
Before start¶
Run zypper install newt newt-python to install dependencies.
Solution¶
contents of install-screen-profiles.sh
#!/bin/bash
PACKAGE_NAME='screen-profiles_1.44-0ubuntu1.2_all.deb'
WORKDIR='workdir-sp'
OPWD=`pwd`
# fetch package
wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/screen-profiles/$PACKAGE_NAME
mkdir $WORKDIR
cd $WORKDIR
# unpack
ar x $OPWD/$PACKAGE_NAME
if [ ! -x "/usr/bin/screen.real" ] ; then
sudo mv /usr/bin/screen /usr/bin/screen.real
else
echo "Unable to write /usr/bin/screen.real - this can break your screen app"
fi
# unpack
tar -xvzf data.tar.gz
# Intall it
sudo find usr -type f -exec install -D -m 755 {} "/{}" \;
sudo find var -type f -exec install -D -m 755 {} "/{}" \;
echo "You may want to delete "$WORKDIR" (rm -rf $WORKDIR) "
Run bash install-screen-profiles.sh
Bugs¶
If you want to start screen after you login run
bash /usr/share/screen-profiles/screen-launcher-installelsebash /usr/share/screen-profiles/screen-launcher-uninstall.F9 works a little bit strange … - so use it at your own risk.
