Angstrom & OpenZaurus / vi not displaying lines correctly

« on: December 30, 2003, 06:51:53 pm »

When I edit a file in Konsole using vi, sometimes the first line of the file is not displayed.  The result is that the first line shown is line 2 and if I edit the line, I\'m actually changing line 1.  I found that this problem only occurs when the file name is long enough to cause the vi status line at the bottom to wrap to a 2nd line.  I tried re-installing libncurses5 (both testing and stable), but no difference.  I have OZ 3.3.5.  Anybody else seen this problem and have a solution?

Also, does anyone know of any documentation for the OZ vi?  Most generic vi manuals aren\'t much help because most of the key assignments don\'t work.  I\'d like to know if I can create a vi initialization file (.virc?) and get a list of the functions supported for \"define-key-map\" commands.  (My objective is to get the backspace and Del keys to work while in INSERT mode.  It\'s a pain to have to keep exiting INSERT mode (ESC) and use x and X, then go back into INSERT mode.)

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Autostart

How do I automatically start an application after Opie starts?  I want to automatically start vncserver.  Under KDE, I would put command in the .kde/Autostart folder.  Does Opie offer a similar capability?  I have OZ 3.3.5.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / .bash_profile

The file name is .profile, not .bash_profile.  Put it into the $HOME directory of the user.  For root, that would be /root.  You can also create a .bashrc file.  .profile only gets invoked when you first log into the Z.  What I typically do is put the following code into .profile:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

then you are covered either way.
