When my screen goes off or Terminal app lose focus while connected to SSH through my Ubuntu Tablet, SSH connection disconnects. This is not an expected behaviour and apps running in the console should be kept alive even when user is not necessarily interacting with them all the time.
Why isn't there the same policy for terminal as for music app that can play music while "minimized"? This is not just ssh, every app is suspended when you are not using terminal and in most cases this is wrong. SSH breaks, music played e.g. through VLC pauses, ... with this the terminal is useless - you may want to run some script that takes longer than a few seconds - so why can't you browse the web in the meantime instead of watching the terminal output for hours.
// I may have not notice this, but I found myself without my computer, on a wireless blocking ssh, having to repair a remote computer and although I could do it on my Android phone I like Ubuntu Terminal more so I tried to use this and I was really surprised of this behaviour. So I had to set my screen to never lock and keep the tablet like this for hours. This not only makes me sad as it is wrong, but also takes more battery when the screen is completely off. |
