Problem Description
|
|
Screen appearance and cursor behavior when running the online
registration program are abnormal. Hitting the ENTER key advances the
cursor to the next line instead of the next field. Hitting the TAB key
advances the cursor across the page.
|
|
Cause
|
|
These older operating systems ignore certain IOCTL calls for
processing full screen applications. Modifications made to the stty
settings can allow the program to function properly.
|
|
Solution
|
Instead of running the online registration program through
edgemenu or through the command line directly, run the following shell
script. The shell script sets the correct modes through the stty
program, calls the registration program, then resets the stty
settings to their original values.
Place this shell script in the /usr/lib/edge/bin
directory, calling the script activate.sh. Depending on
what stage you are at in the registration process, run one of the
following two command lines:
/usr/lib/edge/bin/activate.sh -r
(To run registration program initially or rerun to
correct information)
/usr/lib/edge/bin/activate.sh
(To enter the activation code)
Script is as follows:
stty -opost raw -echo
/usr/lib/edge/bin/edge.activate $*
stty opost -raw echo

Notes
|
|
If you are locked up in the registration program, type CTRL-W
then ENTER.
