00:32 <tkna> zen_desu: Is it not possible to use apt? https://forum.vyos.io/t/how-to-add-debian-repository/9422

01:09 <zen_desu> tkna: like i said, you can do stuff outside of /config but it's not persistent

01:09 <zen_desu> or really supported by vyos

01:10 <zen_desu> im seeing if they can just include it in vyos because that honestly seems like the most reasonable thing

01:10 <zen_desu> that or maybe having foot emulate some other terminal for compatibility?

01:10 <zen_desu> and the thing is that if i use a docker container within vyos, it works, so its just something with the system shell obviously

01:14 <tkna> zen_desu: A similar occurrence exists; it likely appears to be the same issue. https://vyos.dev/T4683

01:14 <tkna> I guess a quick solution would be to use kitty only when connecting to vyos.

01:16 <tkna> And, in this case, it seems reasonable to request that vyos include foot-terminfo

01:17 <tkna> I think you should try installing it once with apt, and if that works, you can request it.

01:21 <tkna> Wouldn't `TERM=xterm-color foot` work? Then I think it's the same cause as kitty.

01:29 <zen_desu> TERM=xterm-color foot didn't work

01:29 <zen_desu> using urxvt works for the time being

01:36 <tkna> How about `foot -e`?

01:46 <zen_desu> -e is ignored?

01:53 <tkna> Apologies, I was mistaken. It seems that option is not viable.

01:56 <zen_desu> no worries ive been reading the docs a lot, i like foot a lot other than this

01:56 <zen_desu> rn i use it as 'flying foot' sometimes lol

01:57 <zen_desu> https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Sway#Adding_features

05:01 <dnkl> zen_desu: foot's terminfo is included with ncurses. Perhaps it's too old?

05:02 <dnkl> otherwise, setting TERM=xterm-256color usually works

05:03 <Arnavion> vyos is an extremely ancient Debian, to the point where IIRC their website tells you front and center to trust them and not worry about

05:04 <Arnavion> Yes, Debian 8

05:05 <Arnavion> Also setting `TERM` on the foot process itself won't do anything because foot will just override it. Set TERM *inside* the foot terminal, ie on the ssh command

05:06 <dnkl> oh... then using either TERM=xterm-256color, or manually installing foot's terminfo to the user's home directory on the server are the options you have

13:33 <powerman2206> Is it possible to have mouse-clickable URLs?

14:41 <zen_desu> Arnavion: i may try to install it for just my user, and the actual linux portion of vyos is pretty ancient, but it's just meant to be a router more or less

14:41 <zen_desu> and it's not too ancient to have wg fwiw, i've asked their support for it, and setting that term didn't work, not sure why, i have the latest foot package from gentoo and im surprised it doesn't have more use flags but im not sure if it was built with xterm support or whatever

14:42 <zen_desu> i my just use urxvt for the time being, foot it nice but seems to be too modern for the trash im having to work with lol

14:42 <dnkl> zen_desu: make sure you set TERM as described by Arnavion

14:43 <dnkl> there's no "xterm support" that can be enabled/disabled in foot

14:45 <zen_desu> dnkl: it can be enabled/disabled at build time?

14:45 <zen_desu> gentoo has "use flags" you set how you want your packags to be built, either on a per-package level or system level

14:45 <zen_desu> and i tried running "TERM=xterm-256color foot" to start a new session, then connected with that, and it didn't work

14:46 <dnkl> there's no xterm support enable/disable in foot, whatsoever

14:46 <dnkl> Arnavion: explicitly told you not to set TERM on the foot process

14:49 <dnkl> foot is xterm compatible, mostly (it implements a subset of xterm's features). that's why using xterm's terminfo _usually_ works.

14:50 <dnkl> as for how you set TERM, search foot's man pages. Or try the quick-n-dirty solution: "TERM=xterm-256color ssh ..." *inside* foot

14:56 <dnkl> Arnavion: sorry, that last message was supposed to be without a colon. i.e I didn't intend the message for you specifically

14:58 <zen_desu> yes they told me not to set it that way many hours after i tested it that way, and is there some way i can make that part of my ssh connection? I'm already using a named connection with some params, can i have that be part of that?

14:58 <zen_desu> since this only applies to ssh? or should i just run the ssh command adn set that var each tiem?

15:01 <zen_desu> and setting the term var when sshing worked, i'd just like to not have to do that

15:01 <dnkl> i believe recent versions of ssh (maybe not yet released) supports setting it per remote in your ssh config

15:01 <dnkl> for older versions an alias is probably the easiest solution

15:05 <zen_desu> SendEnv maybe?

15:18 <zen_desu> RemoteCommand export TERM=xterm-256color works

20:12 <anarcat> hello!

20:13 <anarcat> is there a trick to flip colors between black-on-white and white-on-black

20:13 <anarcat> i have a theme setup in [colors] in ~/.config/foot/config.ini
