Launch Konsole in fullscreen with script.

[PsionX]

Hi, i want to make a script to launch Midnight commander su root in fullscreen Konsole.
It seems like .. :
-------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
 qcop QPE/Application/embeddedkonsole
-------------------------------

Please, help !. Howto launch Midnight Commander \'mc\' in fullscreen with Lcfont (16) ? So after, i can launch it directly from special icon

I doubt it\'s possible to launch konsole in fullscreen. There is a workaround but it involves sacrificing qtopia temporarily.

Assuming you use the Cacko Qtopia ROM (which in all honesty kicks every other ROM\'s rump) you reboot your Z and when you see the \"Wait...5\" where \"5\" is a countdown you hit the forward slash key above the Menu key and you get an option to boot to console.

Try running midnight commander from there but I must confess I\'ve had problems with VI running in that mode so I can\'t vouch for the stability. When you\'ve done and you want qtopia back you reboot with the command shutdown -r now, alternatively you can risk init 5 which I\'m not sure will work properly but heh the best thing about a Zaurus is you can screw it up but 99% of the time you can recover

Thanks .. but in last Cako (1.21), you can change Konsole to fullscreen under Qtopia (just one click ), so i think, there is a command line ??

I have yet to get Konsole to respond to anything other than qcop QPE/Application/embeddedkonsol \"raise()\" which will start the app or bring it to the front if it\'s already running, but I can\'t get anything to run on it.

Seems like it doesn\'t use/see qcop messages

I tried these methods :
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...unchConsoleApps
But, it launches 3 sessions in one Qkonsole window : 1st / bash / 2nd: path od script / 3rd: Midnight commander...  So i must close 3 tabs but no fullscreen ... [

I couldn\'t see with mc\'s default colors & wanted to launch \"mc -a -b\" from an icon. derekp gave me the answer that works.

-------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
 qcop QPE/Application/embeddedkonsole \'setDocument(QString)\' \'exec mc -a -b\'
-------------------------------

the exec causes the first console session to be replaced by the mc session. That way you exit the console when you close mc. WOrks just fine. Even have an appropriate png for it, if you want a copy <G>.

No Fullscreen, but it works...
But how to launch it (Midnight) with root privilege (to copy, etc..) like \"su & mc -a\"

Icon, I \'m using

Easily done, my friend. Hold the stylus tip on the icon and you should get a properties window. Check the box for \"run with root priviledge\" and UNCHECK the \"Display with magnified screen\" box. Click OK.

Next launch you\'ll be running as root in full screen landscape.

Ohhh - didn\'t see your icon till after the above post. Definitely classier than the one I\'m using now. May I steal a copy for use?


Let me know if the above doesn\'t work & I\'ll check if there are any other bits that can be tried.


Best!

Just do a right-click  

Check the box for \"run with root priviledge\" and UNCHECK the \"Display with magnified screen\" box.

No.. you launch the script with root privilege NOT MC...
Open another tab in Qkonsole and do \"ps -aux\". You will see :
USER.....PID.... Time command
zaurus....   .....  mc -a

Ahhh. I see what you mean. Hummm. If I can come up with a work about I\'ll post it to you. MC has never hesitated to do anything that I\'v told it to do so far.

Did the full screen work as you wanted?



Thanks for the excellent icon!

No, but the programmer of qconsole will make, in a few weeks, an new command line option .. wait and see

Ahh, an individual who can \"get things done\", I see! <G>

Be sure to let us know when this new option is ready, my friend!

BTW - is the icon your own design? I admire the workmanship! (or workwomanship, as may be, he say to cover himself JIC)

(Sound of one hand repeatedly slapping forehead)

Thanks, maslovsky!!
