BL-Welcome

I have reinstalled BL but cannot for the life of me get the welcome script to run: I get as far as the warning but however i type "I Understand" nothing happens. I'm quite sure I'm missing the obvious..

Re: BL-Welcome

Did you press <Return> afterwards?

Sorry but I have to ask that

Also, please confirm the method by which you transferred the BunsenLabs ISO image to your installation medium; include the full, exact command(s) used.

Re: BL-Welcome

Yes, I did press return. I burned the ISO image to a disk (can't remember which disk burner I used, sorry). I have used the disk for a previous installation and It all worked OK then..

Re: BL-Welcome

How are you running the script? Any error messages if you run it in a terminal?

bl-welcome

Initially it came up automatically, when that didn't work I tried it in a terminal - no error message and it failed in the same place.

Re: BL-Welcome

i type "I Understand" nothing happens

The script expects "I understand" with a lower-case u — try that instead.

On my BL (Helium) system, entering "I Understand" simply returns the prompt again.

Please post the content of /usr/lib/bunsen/welcome/warning & the output of:

cat $(which bl-welcome)

Please use code tags when posting the output as it will be quite long.

EDIT: corrected path to warning script  :8

The lower case u worked - (I tried both upper case and both lower case initially).. must.pay.more.attention. I guess you don't need the other things?

Many thanks

No, that's fine — glad you got it working

Just out of interest, which terminal emulator are you using?

echo $TERM

As I said, the prompt should return in the event of an unacceptable response, it is strange that you did not experience this.

Re: BL-Welcome

Is that the output of my suggested command or what you are running (or both)?

That may seem like a silly question but forcing $TERM can cause strange effects.

ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator

Re: BL-Welcome

Do you experience the same problem with terminator?

To see the question again, remove the confirmation flag:

rm ~/.config/bunsen/bl-welcome-understand

I cannot reproduce this issue with XTerm in my Helium system.

Have you noticed any other problems with terminal applications?

Does htop work OK?

First of all, apologies for delay in responding. No, I don't experience the same problem in terminator, other terminal applications have worked and yes, htop is working OK. As regards the bit about removing the confirmation flag  I am getting  "cannot remove ‘/home/g/.config/bunsen/bl-welcome-understand’": No such file or directory.
I appreciate your support. Should I mark this as solved, since it doesn't appear to be a reproducible error?

Re: BL-Welcome

^ So have a look in '~/.config/bunsen' and see what the filename actually is ('bl-welcome-understood')
