You can determine the size of your terminal programmatically like so: $ tput lines 64 $ tput cols 112 But I'm having difficulty communicating that information down into the adb shell (you have to run tput on the host to get the right values; if you run it within adb shell you just get 80x24). I was hoping something easy would work: $ adb shell stty rows $(tput lines) cols $(tput cols) But unfortunately the stty call didn't 'stick' when I called `adb shell` afterwards. Then I thought we could shoehorn in a bash invocation after the stty call, like so: $ adb shell stty rows $(tput lines) cols $(tput cols) \; bash That does get us a prompt with the right size terminal, but it doesn't seem to be responsive (can't get any output from commands). I also tried: $ adb shell bash -c "stty rows $(tput lines) cols $(tput cols)" -l But it just returns immediately without giving us a prompt on the device. So for now it seems you have to call tput in the host, then adb shell, then call stty and manually type in the numbers in. Anybody have any other ideas to automate this? -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
