  • Terminal window

    From Rick Smith@1:340/202 to All on Thu Jun 18 17:49:15 2020
    Greetings,

    So here comes my noob linux user question. I finally got debian installed on my intel nuc and all is well.. When I open a terminal window (konsole) and
    fire up scfg (sbbs) it opens it in a completely different window all the
    while keeping the original window occupied? I dont recall it doing this
    before or on my other linux box, have I done something during install as I
    have not messed with any settings its completely fresh... It doesnt cause any problems really but is there a way to have it not do that?

    you're opening a GUI app from a text console... this is to be expected...

    you might try "scfg --help", though... look for the -I options ;)
