SimpleSwitch™-terminal#

SimpleSwitch™-terminal (simplevte.py) is a helpful application that offers a way to open a terminal session

in base Yocto linux (-)
in any running SimpleSwitch™ containers, by using the simpleswitch-interactive command

If a container starts it will be added as a “tab”, conversely if it stops then its “tab” will be removed.

SimpleSwitch™-terminal icon is in the top-left of the screen - near the small Tria logo, and next to the screenshot icon. SimpleSwitch™-terminal has touchscreen support, via the on-screen virtual keyboard.

The terminal configuration can be modified by placing /usr/share/simplevte/simplevte.config in $HOME - where it can be customised. The [DEFAULT] items can be modified, but should not be deleted.

SimpleSwitch™-terminal is only available in graphical base images
