| See: ["Info/Signup"] | See: [[Info/Signup]] '''Q: Why doesn't my password work for SSH?''' Blinkenshell has several different accounts. Many newcommers confuse the signup account with SSH accounts. You can not log in via SSH if you have not reached step 10 (finished) in the signup process.

The answers to all questions can be found either on this webpage/wiki or by some simple searches on Google. '''Q: Why are you not allowing IRC bots?''' Because they are boring. I would like my shell to be populated with active users, not bots. '''Q: The shell/signup feels laggy, what can I do about this?''' If you are on a wireless connection, try moving to a place with good signal quality. Try connecting with a cable if it's still bad. If you are downloading/uploading something, try pausing that or limit the bandwidth to something like 80% of your maximum bandwidth. You can also try `ping blinkenshell.org' in a terminal, if the round trip time is much above 100 ms the shell will feel laggy for most users. == For members == |

| No, you have to find the answers on your own. You should be able to find all answers on this wiki or via Google. | This is usually because of color settings, for example if you try to run links in screen it will segfault if you have not done some extra configuration to get 256 colors to work inside screens. Some terminals also can't handle many colors. You can also disable colors within links to get it to work. |
