Konsole scrollback limited? [SOLVED]

[erinsaurus87]

When I enter a command that returns many many lines of information, such as dpkg -l , I can't seem to scroll back up to read all of the output. How can i fix this?

Re: Konsole scrollback limited?

you can pipe the output of a command such as dpkg -l that has extensive output threw "less" or "more" and page threw the output ............so

dpkg -l | less

will give you just what the screen will hold then you can scroll through the rest with the down arrow (1 line at a time)or page down (screen full at a time) 8)

Also you can edit Konsole's settings:
Settings
Configure Current Profile
Scrollback

Note that as konsole supports multiple profiles, you can have many custom setups in terms of look and options
