terminator is a very good graphical terminal emulator for linux. Its main advantage is that it allows to split the screen into several terminal windows and add tabs with additional split screens. On top of that, on can broadcast from one terminal to others. | terminator is a very good graphical terminal emulator for linux.

===== Problem ===== | ===== Problem ===== | ||
There is an issue with broadcasting in ubuntu 18.10 with its standard desktop environment. every key that is pressed in the sending terminal is written twice in the receiving ones. | There is an issue with broadcasting in ubuntu 18.10 with its standard desktop environment. every key that is pressed in the sending terminal is written twice in the receiving ones. | ||
+ | ===== Reason ===== | ||
+ | somehow terminator seems to have issues when ibus is involved | ||
===== Solution ===== | ===== Solution ===== | ||
+ | we need to make sure that terminator does not use ibus. this is done differently in ubuntu 18 and ubuntu 20: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== ubuntu 18 (tested with 18.10 but should also work with 18.04) ==== | ||
as pointed out in [[https:// | as pointed out in [[https:// | ||
- | the easiest way to do this is to add a bash alias overwriting | + | ==== ubuntu 20.04 ==== |
- | | + | here we need to unset '' |
+ | |||
+ | ==== the script: ==== | ||
+ | the problem with the proposed alias is, that this only works if you start terminator through a bash shell. however, if you click the launcher icon in gnome it is ignored. | ||
+ | |||
+ | my solution was to creat a wrapper script ''/ | ||
+ | <code bash / | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | don't forget | ||
+ | chmod 755 / | ||
+ | |||
+ | the reason why this is saved to ''/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | you can see in ''/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | we could have also renamed the actual binary and then saved the wrapper in its place, or we could have modified the launcher file, but both of these solutions will probably brake on each update of terminator, while our little hack, although not pretty, will survive updates as well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Ohter problems ===== | ||
+ | ==== split-screen shortcut ctrl+shift+e not working ==== | ||
+ | if terminator | ||
+ | ibus-setup | ||
+ | then go to the emoji tab and either change or remove the shortcut | ||
- | you will need to log out of your current gnome session and log back in for this to take effect. |
