This information helps anyone here in this forum to be able to answer any questions you may have better, thanks. You can get this information from top of your system menu's Welcome screen, System Information program(s), and the best is by typing in " inxi -Fxz" from a console terminal prompt, which you can then copy and paste back here. Note2: You might have to add "guake" or "yakuake" to your system settings, start up programs, for it to start every time you start your computer I did.įYI: It would help everyone here to have more information about your system's setup: like what edition and version of Linux Mint are you using, Cinnamon, Mate, KDE (my fav), or Xfce version 17 or 17.1, or What? 32-bit or 64-bit? Some more information about your hardware would be useful as well. You can also send most control characters by holding down the Ctrl key and typing the appropriate letter. Yakuake - I love this console terminal program, but I had to change the default F12 trigger key to F11 trigger key because F12 was used by other programs easy to do in your system settings menu, shortcuts and gestures, global shortcuts, yakuake. With the settings listed above, anything you type into the Hyperterminal window will be sent out the serial port. *** Note: I also love the "drop down" Linux console terminal options: User Malalo: I manage Cisco switches and can connect to them by Telnet, using xterm (basic terminal in Ubuntu), just by typing: telnet ip_address_of_switchĥ Linux / Unix Commands For Connecting To The Serial Console Just using the default Linux Mint console terminal. "Komport" is a GUI based dialup terminal for KDE Linux Alternatives To Microsoft HyperTerminal
Note that the comments tell you how to change certain features of the program. HyperTerminal for Linux - 2 options: "cutecom" with a graphical user interface (GUI), or "minicom" command line based When running, the script will ‘echo’ any characters coming from the serial port to the console and ‘echo’ any characters typed in from the console to the serial port. You may be able to do a lot through the regular Linux Mint console terminal, but again, we need more info. If you search the SPM for "terminal", you will see a lot of options. So far from what I have been reading, the most popular and liked "hyper terminal" programs for Linux are: Cutecom, GTKterm, minicom.
I provided some links below for you to look at, and some of the "hyper terminal" type programs are available in the software repositories like your Software Manager or the Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) where you can install them. If you could be more specific on what hardware that you need to use "hyper terminal" for and how you want to access that hardware (basically, exactly what are you trying to do?). I think it would help to have some more detailed information, including FYI below.
