Linux Tutorial - Irssi
This Documents Assumes the following
You have followed the procedure to Access Linux on the device and have enabled the Optware repositories and software http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux
You have installed the Terminal application http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Terminal
Once these procedures are done you should have access to:
The Optware software repositories through ipkg-opt
The Terminal Application through the WebOS (should load, be the root user, and function)
Installation
Within the Terminal application use the following command:
ipkg-opt install screen irssi
This command will automatically download GNU Screen and irssi as well as any necessary dependencies.
Note: GNU Screen is *not* necessary for irssi to function, it only provides further functionality to be able to close the Terminal application if desired, keep irssi running in the background and reattach to it. Also, I have found that running irssi within a screen session gives irssi shows all its various colors while running natively within the terminal app leaves it mono-colored.
Configuration/Tweaks
Known Issues
Even with Screen running you can lose connection if the wifi radio turns off when the screen does, see <link for fixing that>
