Hai,
well in my other distro(debian) "less" command in terminal(gnome terminal) allows "scrolling" using mouse's middle wheel.
but,I am missing this option in archlinux's less.what can be a solution
I need the scroll option somehow :(
although I can scroll through terminal(konsole) output easily.
another problem.
I am used to a xwrapper to "su" called "sux" which is available in AUR.
when I open a terminal and run sux -gave root password,I can login fine.
but all shell (environment) variables are pretty fcuked up.
while in a normal shell or as "su",I am getting below shell variables:
prakash ~ $ echo $PATH
