Mosh

Mosh is a new secure shell program that, unlike conventional SSH, tolerates high-latency connections and can roam between IP addresses. It uses your existing OpenSSH server to log in and initiate the connection, so you simply need to install Mosh on both the client and server to get going.

This port allows you to Mosh anytime anywhere using your N9 and 3G connection! It also includes the server component, allowing you to Mosh into your N9 from your PC.

Note: Mosh requires that the locale be explicitly set to UTF-8, so you might have to run it like this: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 mosh user@server.

Installation

Run the following commands to install:

devel-su
<enter root password>
echo 'deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/itsnotabigtruck/Harmattan ./' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/itsnotabigtruck.list
pkgmgr refresh-cache
pkgmgr install -p mosh

This is a command-line-only app, so no icon is installed.

Nice work. Only issue that I noticed in it is that "crtl-^ ." quit sequence doesn't seem to work even if you enter that on virtual keyboard. So maybe N9 should have some easier sequence.

Thx , I also imported your package in "shared" repo :
http://rzr.online.fr/q/harmattan


Are you able to use it to connect to harmattan ?

Later

Thanks for porting this. I was already doing it myself when I bumbed to this repository. I just tested quickly that it connects but I need to do more proper testing when I'm heading home in a bus.

I would like to point out that it's not just about installing the mosh next to ssh to get things working but you also need to have UDP ports 60000-61000 open in the server.

Thanks.

I haven't tried it from a remote host, but it did work connecting to localhost.

I have not tested this over 3G, but atleast when my N9 is connected via wifi, I can mosh into it. Connecting via sdk mode usb connection also works.

Good point.

@rzr It looks like the version in your repo is maemo1, which contains the alignment bug - any chance you could sync that to maemo3?

Anyone know if there is a version of this for Maemo?

ok sync'ed to shared repo,

https://build.pub.meego.com/package/...zr%3Aharmattan

I guess it should also built on maemo5/4 , did u try ?

I'm not a developer but I guess I might get my hands dirty and give it a go. Maybe I'll try and build it in a debian chroot.
