I have been using putty to connect to one of my client server,here the problem is that copy and paste doesn't work. When I was on windows it used to work and now I want the same thing on ubuntu 13.10.
I have an Ubuntu 10.04.4 web server, and I have set it to run byobu on session startup.
To start with it all seems to work fine, for example F9 brings up the menu and F7 starts the copy/paste process.
When I connect to the server using PuTTY from my PC, the problem is that when I press F2 to create a new window, the screen just flashes, and no window is created.
I have tried setting PuTTY to use Xterm R6 in the function keys settings, as per the man page and mailing list, but have also tried using the default ESC[n~.
I mean how can I bookmark a ssh root@ip command in the launcher so when I click on the icon and a shell is prompt to me asking credentials for the connection to the server shell?
Byobu looks very broken in PuTTY. I've already fixed the key mapping issue, but this issue isn't specified in the man page or even Google:
Notice the misplaced position of the list of windows, the broken selector position, the duplication of the last window, the random a in the top right, and the misplaced apply option. You can't see this, but the last option is not selectable.
Is there some option in PuTTY I need to use in order to see this correctly?
I set up my Linux server to accept connections from my home PC by adding the public key generated by PuTTYgen to the authorized_keys file.
Now I'm trying to connect to the same machine, but this time from another Ubuntu machine. I have to use the same private key (for a weird reason, don't ask..) and I don't quite get how to install it on my client Ubuntu.
Do I have to convert it to some other format?
