[sbox-DIABLO_ARMEL: ~] > exit
logout
tset: unknown terminal type xterm
Terminal type?
I'll try to fix this, move /scratchbox to $HOME-Partition (symlink worked fine the last time) and get some information on python/hildon/telnet module (IGS server) later this night (going to play withy my 1 1/2 year old son now )...
I've just installed Kubuntu and the Maemo SDK and was having the same problem although I'm sure it was OK initially but suddenly started happening although I have no idea why (it could have been because of almost anything I have done since I have no idea what I'm doing really) But, I managed to find this topic which although didn't sound to be exactly the same was similar:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65630

I'm not sure what a host is, but with a bit more help from Google I think I made the connection that 'run as root' means to prefix the commands with the 'sudo' command which in turn asks for my password.

What I actually did was start a new CMD window with the Konsole program and type:
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/terminfo/x
cd /usr/share/terminfo/x
sudo ln -s /lib/terminfo/x/xterm xterm
NOTE that 'sudo cd /usr/share/terminfo/x' doesn't work, just type 'cd /usr/share/terminfo/x' as shown above.

Now 'logout' and 'sb-conf select FREMANTLE_ARMEL/X86' work again

Hope this helps

BTW although there are no drive letters in Kubuntu I have managed to find my Windows files and programs but don't seem to be able to run any of them without restarting my laptop with Windows - when I can't even find anything to do with Kubuntu. is this normal?
