I installed emacs on my brand new BBB, but although emacs starts up, no key
ever makes it to into the program.
The installation was as simple as
1) log in as root using SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9 (see comments below) to
192.168.1.xxx (via the ethernet cable, address assigned via DHCP)
2) execute
opkg update
opkg install emacs
3) run emacs by typing
emacs
No key is recognized, not M-<key>, not C-<key> , not even just a letter
<key> (and worst of all, not C-x C-c, which would cause emacs to exit).
Same result occurs if I create a text file test.txt and then execute
emacs test.txt
And just to cut off one possibility: note that I've been using SSH Secure
Shell with emacs for years, and I tested it just now with another system;
it works just fine. Obviously, too, it accesses the BBB, because that's
how I entered the commands that installed and executed emacs. And, of
course, I've rebooted the BBB several times.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Richard
P.S. SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9 is a very nice TTY program, which I vastly
prefer over PuTTY.
Search for
ssh secure shell 3.2.9 download free
and you'll find various sources, including universities, that offer the
software for free, e.g.William & Mary, Dartmouth, Northwestern, UCLA, etc.
In other words, you won't be downloading some cracked and potentially
dangerous piece of software.
