Hello,

I am trying to install Terminator as per instructions here:

Installing the Terminator terminal emulator - Documentation

Search gives no result:
dnf search terminator

Any suggestions how to get terminator installed ?

Hello @0x0 , Unless the EPEL builds this for 10, you will probably have to find a new terminal emulator (myself included). The reason I say this is that the terminator project moved to GitHub in 2020, but since then has languished with little development. You can attempt to see if the EPEL will build it. Instructions for that are here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/ It looks, though that, like me, you may have to move to a new terminal emulator on 10.

I’ll update the instructions with a hold for now.

I’ve been using Tabby for a long time now as a replacement to Terminator: GitHub - Eugeny/tabby: A terminal for a more modern age

You can also use tmux and make split window consoles like Terminator.

Split screens with Tabby:

Hi @sspencerwire , thanks for information. I just looked at terminator gituhub , last commit was 2 months ago and also koji has built packages also around that time. At least is not stalled and could probably be built localy…

Thanks @iwalker , Tabby seems that it could fit as replacement, filled with options.
Will check it out, tnx for info.
