I like it. Its way lighter than kuake  .
There's a rather annoying problem though. Alt+key combinations don't work as they should. In terminal, they produce all sorts of characters (accented and such), whereas in aterm, they dont. Programs fail to catch these combos as well, so yeahconsole makes irssi rather useless  . Anyone has any clues?
Oh, here are my .Xdefaults entries if they are of any use:
| Code: |
yeahconsole*toggleKey: Win+space
yeahconsole*background: rgb:2D/2D/2D
yeahconsole*foreground: rgb:E6/E6/E6
yeahconsole*font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-*-*-100-100-*-*-iso8859-2
yeahconsole*loginShell:True
yeahconsole*consoleHeight: 40
yeahconsole*aniDelay:0
|
EDIT:
Ok, that was solved rather quickly . I dug a little through the xterm man page, xresources section. Adding yeahconsole*metaSendsEscape: true to .Xdefaults solves the problem. No more pressing Esc all the time, yay  !! |

| Sorry 'bout the search post. Even worse though, there is an ebuild in this (at the time) short thread. |

Most comical is that _you wrote it_. But at 13525 posts, I think we can cut you a little slack  |

| Yeah. I was thinking portage searches pointed out when something was in portage, or an overlay. |

Got it working and  Best thing to happen to my Linux experience in a WHILE. I'm burning through xterm manuals now.

Followed DrWoland over from https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-332354.html. New toys!
Has anyone else gotten

Hi, that's a smashing console. Really like the fact that its based on xterm. Adds to the coolness factor of your desktop.
I had only one gripe with it... using a sufficiently large height (of about 40 lines or more) makes the drop-down animation crawl. Setting the aniDelay to a low value (0) doesnt help. But I managed to improve it by increasing the animation step size in the C code.

There's an ebuild above in this thread that worked perfectly for me. |

Not so much for me:
| Code: | >>> Unpacking source...
>>> Source unpacked.
!!! ERROR: x11-terms/yeahconsole-0.3.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 488, Exitcode 1
!!! no configure script found
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. |

An ebuild isn't terrilbly useful for such a simple program with no dependencies. What's so hard about:
| Code: | ./autogen.sh
./configure
make && make install |

It's not so much that I find that hard, it's the fact that portage is my *package management*. I try to keep all programs managed by portage. Makes for easy uninstall and upgrade, too.

Complex Manual Uninstallation Procedure(tm):
| Code: | | rm /usr/local/bin/yeahconsole |
As for upgrades, you would proceed as if you were installing it for the first time. |

The previous ebuild didn't work for me so I hacked it to make it work, and it did. Here goes:

# $Header: $

Mah, I cut out the animation completely. I wonder why the author didn't implement an option to do that using Xdefaults . Lowering the window one pixel at a time is nonsense.
Does anyone have an idea how to make this thing unicode compatible? I've been using it for over a month now and there's no way I'm going back to using kuake, but I'd really like to use non-ASCII characters. They work nicely with xterm, but not with yeahconsole. I've tried putting "yeahconsole*locale: UTF-8" and "yeahconsole*utf8: 1" in .Xdefaults, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. |

Mine suddenly stopped working. Not sure why... probably because of something else I emerged. After unmerging it, it failed to build with this problem:
| SewerBeing wrote: | yeahconsole.o(.text+0xe51): In function `resize':
: undefined reference to `XUngrabPointer'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status |
./autogen-sh was the solution, which is now in the updated ebuild.
Unfortunately my .Xdefaults problem didn't go away on its own.
EDIT: I was tired of the .Xdefaults problem. A quick strace revealed that yeahconsole was trying to open .Xdefaults-hostname instead. A softlink resolved it.

Fantastic program, but does anyone know why running torsmo at the same time would make it slide away really slowly? It slides in just fine 
Edit: never mind I turned off double buffering and it seems to be working. I've also got it running screen |

Ok, I could run "autoconf-2.59", but it is still not compiling:
| Code: | kripton yeahconsole-0.3.1 # make
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I -c yeahconsole.c
