Hi everyone

Been working on a Rasperry Pi without graphical user interface and simply log in on the command-line. One thing that has been puzzling me is why I can no longer scroll backwards/forwards using SHIFT+PGUP/PGDOWN. Instead I have to use "| less" on output now.

Turns out that this functionality got removed from the kernel: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/the-latest-kernel-rele...

Not every device will have a graphical user interface, especially not IoT devices. So that's rather annoying... :-(

That's handy to note.  Most of the time I'm remote on consoles anyhow (so using some form of terminal emulator) - time to break out screen or tmux? Cheers, Warren.
