Hey All,hey there, just try typing "syncterm" in a terminal windows ?!
I managed to install Snap store and it works. I used it to install Mailspring and that went ok.
When I install syncTerm, I install it but its nowhere to be found. I go back to Snap store and it says its installed but I can't find it.

First thing: don't use the Snap store to install SyncTERM. That SyncTERM is not official/authorized/supported and I think it's still a really old version of SyncTERM.
Also, MeaTLoTioN of Quantum Wormhole has written a perfect script you can use, or follow, to compile the NEWEST version by yourself. It still requires commands to be typed in the terminal/CLI, but its not too rough - he tells you EVERY command to install all needed pre-requisites and then install the software so that there IS a menu entry [syncterm.desktop file..]. Heres the link:

^^ I use this script ALL THE TIME; basically, you just enter the commands just as listed; follow along and see Syncterm actually get COMPILED. If you have
any issues, just post back here - or email me @ 2oFB and I'm willing to help.
P.S. Netrunner is a binary download - you just run it...

You know... I was once thinking about trying to package SyncTERM in a Flatpak. Is that something you would frown on??
The process doesn't seem TOO involved, and I might be willing to commit to keeping a stable version updated. (Not the nightly/weeklies tho. :P)
SyncTERM, but heres a link to Netrunner if you like; funny thing, tho, you'd still need to create a Menu Entry. LOL; there is a Linux package

not really unique to syncterm/netrunner/etc ..
ultimately it'd be great if someone got syncterm into the main
aptitude repository and maintained it. or set up a repository that can
be added to fetch it from. thing is it'd be just like the snap one
unless whoever kept up with it..
also, what ever happened to the 1000's of linux tutorials with lists
of commands.. why can't a linux user use 'which' ..

One important note: this builds/installs the latest development (e.g. alpha/beta) build of SyncTERM, not the latest release. The latest
release is found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm/files/latest/download
That's a question for Deuce really (SyncTERM is primarily *his*
project). I saw he was working on a deb packaging recently, so maybe Flatpak and Snap are really unnecessary/bloated kludges anyway.
You can find Deuce on irc.synchro.net.
You mean something like :

I followed the directions and used the script and sucess!
Took me about an hour but I got it. Thank you so much for helping.
The install has a minor issue where I have black bars on the side in full screen mode. I googled it and there was a ticket put in for that #116 I believe but still looking for the resolution for it.
For the Snap version, someone mentioned type syncterm in the terminal. Never tried that lol but I uninstalled that version so I'll never know. Thanks again!
Nicely done; the real thanks, tho, goes to MeaTLoTioN of Quantum
Wormhole BBS - I just often use it to streamline the install process.

One thing that keeps me using NetRunner is that I can't copy &
paste from Linux apps to/from the SyncTerm window. Please,
someone tell me I'm a moron and that it can be done (and how) :-)
Okay... you're a moron and it can be done.
When I'm in a Syncterm window, I left-click and hold, then drag to highlight the desired text on the screen. When I get to the lower-right corner of what I want to copy, I let go of the mouse button. The (blue) highlight goes away immediately, but the text is still copied into the clipboard/buffer.
I'm using Syncterm v1.1b in SDL mode, if that matters (and it might).
I'm using Syncterm v1.1b in SDL mode, if that matters (and it might).
1.2b, as compiled, defaults to X11 mode. 'syncterm -iS' forces SDL mode and it works.

...and SDL mode can be configured in the program settings menu as I just discovered :-)
Deuce (in #synchronet at irc.synchro.net) has been playing with
detecting X Window managers or server (Wayland?) where the the clipboard behavior is not as expected. He could use more details on your system configuration.

SDL mode was the trick - copy & paste works fine in SDL mode.

Nice!
Thanks! :-)
Good deal, glad you got that sorted, and that's good info for me (and others) to know about the 1.2 version.

SyncTERM v1.2 is not yet released, but it's a good time to test (v1.2b) and provide feedback.

I made an install script ages ago that should work for a handful of different linux variants;
https://erb.pw/how-to-install-syncterm-for-linux-from-source/
Hope it helps.
That's cool. Maybe consider changing this line in that script to not use sudo? sudo make SRC_ROOT=$st_path
root access should not be necessary for *building* syncterm, only for the *install* command.

Ah good point, thanks for the tip. Much appreciated! =)
