To: Gentoo
Hi,
I am using screen to log into my beaglebone embedded computer, which
runs Gentoo (of course!) like this:
ssh -t root@192.168.178.27 screen -R -d
. This makes it possible to detach the terminal and shutdown the PC,
while the beagle still runs processes...
BUT:
Unfortunately I cannot copy and paste things from my PC to a started
session like the way described above.
What is the problem here? ssh? screen? Or...simply my (mis-)
understanding of the whole thing ?
Best regards,
mcc

It should not matter what machine do you connect to, the other side should not even be aware about the selected text, and when you past it with middle-click, it should receive it like normal keyboard strokes. What does "echo $TERM" says in the beaglebone?

Read up on Ctrl-a [ (copy) and Ctrl-a ] (paste), it's quite well described in screen's man page -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
