There seems to be an issue with Ubuntu and the CR-48 in some instances while editing files in Nano over SSH. Tested in Developer Mode, once logged in to any three of my servers over SSH using crosh or the shell, the nano editor fails to scroll with larger files. The problem does not seem isolated to me, as another user has experienced the same occurrence. When you are editing a file using nano and down arrow to read the remainder of the file, the text in the files overlaps, making it impossible to edit your file.
The solution is to redraw the current screen using CTRL-L.
This problem does not occur for every Ubuntu installation. I am not certain which variable is present that creates this reading error or manifestation. If you have come across this problem or know of a solution to the error, please leave a comment.
How to SSH using the CR-48
There are two primary methods of reaching out via SSH from your CR-48.
The first method uses the native terminal crosh. Enter a terminal mode by depressing the “ctrl” “alt” “t“ keys at the same time. Next, use the following statement to execute your SSH session.
ssh username ip-address port#
The second method requires that you enable Developer Mode . Once developer mode is enabled, enter crosh as seen above and then type in the command shell.
