Quote Marks on Scratchbox Xterm
I have the SDK working very well. Wow! I also managed to install xterm and python as you can see here:
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/d...aemo_Xterm.jpg However, I am having trouble entering quote marks. As you can see on the screen shot above, when I try to enter quotes I get a couple of little dots instead on the nice long double quotes shown on the python help text. I am using a Thinkpad T61 with US keyboard and USA layout in Ubuntu. Is there a way to enter normal quotes into the xterm from the scratchbox so that I do not get the error above? |

Any ideas?

Re: Quote Marks on Scratchbox Xterm
I just tried it in my xterm inside of scratchbox, and I had no issues using the " key. It showed it as a " and treated it as a ".
[sh] -sh-2.05b$ echo "hello" hello -sh-2.05b$ [python2.5] >>> print "hello" hello >>> Sorry, not sure how to help you. I'm running ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) Nathan |
Re: Quote Marks on Scratchbox Xterm
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 too. When I installed the SDK I did have the layout set as US International. I wonder if that is the issue. Does the scratchbox take on the keyboard layout used during the install? I notice that I still have to hit a space after pressing the " key for it to be entered, when using the scratchbox. I still don't see why the US International layout would be a problem though. But, I am willing to change the layout manually in scratchbox if that will fix this. I guess I'll have to dig around for a way to do this.

Which Ubuntu version? Which architecture? Is Ubuntu your host OS or is Ubuntu running in a VM? Which SDK version? I notice some of my keys don't work either in SDK GUI, and I cannot use setxkbmap because when I do I get error this extension is not available. My enter key doesn't work, for example. When I enable virtual keyboard my enter key pops up the virtual keyboard. To isolate/workaround/fix the problem:

If I go to setting to "Restore original settings" I get prompted for a password, and I don't know what it is, should I? Also, all my Save, Cancel, or, yes, no buttons have "wdgtb" before the actual name of the button. (I think it happened after I tried to change the language & region settings.) Wait a minute. Now the virtual keyboard is working and the Enter key on the virtual keyboard works too. Crazy! :rolleyes: To isolate/workaround/fix the problem: Quote:

Well I didn't get to it because it crashed. After restarting I went back to xterm, typed in: python Ctrl + Enter (with my laptop keyboard) and it entered the command plus lauching the virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard's Enter key worked to enter commands but it likewise would toggle the virtual keyboard at the same time. Now it crashed again. I think I'm going home now. Quote:

The other points I will have to try latter. I'll get back to this. Right now I have to run. Thanks for the help. Quote:

Re: Quote Marks on Scratchbox Xterm
The Python version in scratchbox, outside the GUI is 2.3.4. I'm confused. How many python installations do I have? :confused:
When I installed it in the virtual N900 I used the following command: fakeroot apt-get install python |
Re: Quote Marks on Scratchbox Xterm
Well, at this point my original issue is resolved. I am now able to use the virtual keyboard to enter quotes and double quotes, and the Ctrl Enter key combination is working, as well as the virtual keyboard Enter key. How did it get fixed, I do not know. But, I am all set for now in this regard. I am left with a feeling that the SDK is still very fragile, but it is almost there.
