Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.26.2-2 Severity: wishlist
Often, I have a long-running task running in a terminal (such as an apt update), that is going to run for a long time, then prompt me with a question, then run for awile, then ask me more questions, etc... It would be really nice if I could leave the room while this is happening, without risking my computer sitting idle for awhile because the prompt appeared. I'm thinking a setting where you can specify a list of patterns (regular expressions) and audio files to play when the pattern is seen in the terminal output. Maybe by default, have the alarms disable themselves once they are seen, but give the user an option to also have an alarm be persistent and play every time a pattern is seen. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-terminal-data 2.26.2-2 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.26.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.82-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.26.2-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.5-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.10-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte9 1:0.20.5-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii gvfs 1.2.3-3 userspace virtual filesystem - ser ii yelp 2.26.0-2 Help browser for GNOME gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
