For me, konsole does fine -- I can C&P from it with the mouse (and, presumably,

Well, I gave up and did another 29t install, but in trying to leave out
the dependecy hell of broken packages trying to install tde-trinity so I
could get back to familiar, bug free services. but I had to install some
gfx just to get x or wayland.
That's not the important first impression however. Installing without a
root pw, I am prevented from doing anything to the system setup cuz
everything but synaptic wants a root pw, and does not accept my pw as
user 1000 for sudo. Security seems entirely too paranoid. Ant time I
change back to the gfx screen, I have to go thru the whole login
rigermarole so I waste about a minute because the gfx are so slow.
Now, I really need a terminal for alt-ctl-F3 that does support the
mouse. but the main package manager, which doesn't seem to have a name
but is 100% graphical, refuses to show me a recognizable terminal of any
kind.
Also, installing on /dev/sda, a new 1T samsung, has destroyed my ability
to do a dual boot by selecting the other drive in the bios menu. It gets
stuck, probably looking for the raid, says press enter to continue and
when I do it just gets stuck in the same loop.
and without blkid, I can't fix that. And to fix that, I need bllkid,
which isn't installed, and I can't install its parent pkg with synaptic
or apt due to broken packages that apt-get --fix-broken refuses to fix.
I have the old bullseye install mounted to /mnt/sdc#'s so I have access
and could probably run blkid from there but where is it? Where does it
normally live? I'll hunt around and see if I can find it in the other
install.
Cheers all, Gene Heskett.
