parted is included because it is used for resizing partitions upon initial bootLibreELEC.tv/fs-resize at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
It is still usable without readline.
That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
There is also fdisk
BTW, I wasn't able to find fdisk, at least by default:
LibreELEC:~ # fdisk
-sh: fdisk: not found
It's really not needed for our purposes.
Sorry, I'm not quite following. Could you elaborate a bit?
(Trying to understand the philosophy of what's included in LibreELEC - I was thinking parted was only useful for SSH-like scenarios, but maybe there's automated usage that wouldn't benefit from arrow keys? In other words, is the reason for including parted different from the reason shell/vi are included along with arrow key support?)
Thanks,
David
parted isn't built with readline supportLibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Thanks. Is changing that setting the right fix for this bug then? (Or is there a reason not to make that change?)
FYI (I stumbled across this thread a bit late) - I've looked into this question in the past. In particular, support for the SMB v1 protocol in Windows is optional, and I happened to have disabled that (and many other optional Windows features) a long time ago, so it took me a while to figure out why I couldn't get file sharing to work. Not depending on an optional/legacy Windows feature is IMO the biggest motivation to switch to SMB v2.
Here are some related threads trying to get this to work back on OpenELEC as well as Kodi:
OpenELEC Mediacenter - OpenELEC Forum - No SMB 2+ connectivity (1/1)
No SMB 2 client support (needs samba package >=4.1) · Issue #4174 · OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv · GitHub
Samba 4 plans (SMB 2+ support)
I spent a little time playing with the changes needed on the Kodi side but didn't get that finished.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 with LibreELEC 7.0.2.
When I connect via SSH (from PuTTY on Windows), the arrow/home/end keys work correctly within the shell as well as within vi. However, once I enter parted, the arrow/home/end keys start displaying characters such as:
(parted) ^[[A^[[B^[[D^[[C^[[1~^[[4~
Using the exact same SSH settings to connect to Arch Linux on another Raspberry Pi and use parted there with arrow/home/end keys just fine.
From some related searches:

It sounds like the problem may be related to readline. Is LibreELEC's parted compiled with readline disabled?
