Installation

The required configuration to run the emulator is the standard configuration of recent Linux distributions. Version 3.0 and later of the GTK+ toolkit is required and might require a system update. It is available at http://www.gtk.org.

You can install the emulator in two ways:

• Launch teo-1.8.4-i586.deb.
• Unzip teo-1.8.4-i586.tar.gz. The executable is named teo.

Launching

The launch of Teo will be done by clicking the icon of Teo. If you right-click on it, you can choose between simply launching it, or launching it with a hard reset.

Keyboard

If the ALTGR key doesn't do anything, have a look at you keyboard layout with respect to the third level chooser: Keyboard layout/Options/ from 'System Parameters' to choose 3rd level options.

If your keyboard is other than AZERTY, you have access to the French keyboard by using the following procedure :

• Quit Teo
• Launch setxkbmap fr in a Terminal
• Launch Teo again

The only problem is that during the time the French keyboard is enabled, it will be for all applications. To go back to your natural keyboard, simply run setxkbmap <your_keyboard_layout>... or restart Linux.

Sound generator

Teo uses the default sound device (via ALSA).

Activating disk direct access on new Linux systems

On new Linux systems, floppy drives are not activated at installation. It's necessary to make some adjustments from a Terminal:

Creating the entry for the first drive (if you have one) :

• Execute sudo mkdir /media/floppy0
• Execute sudo gedit /etc/fstab
• Add the line /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0 if no line begins with /dev/fd0
• Save the file and quit GEdit

Creating the entry for the second drive (if you have one) :

• Execute sudo mkdir /media/floppy1
• Execute sudo gedit /etc/fstab
• Add the line /dev/fd1 /media/floppy1 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0 if no line begins with /dev/fd1
• Save the file and quit GEdit

Declaring the disks access :

• Execute sudo gedit /etc/modules
• Add the line floppy if it doesn't exist
• Save the file and quit GEdit
• Execute sudo adduser $USER floppy and if necessary sudo adduser $USER disk (thanks to credenhill from forum.ubuntu-fr.org)

And finally, activating everything :

• Restart computer

If the direct access has still difficulties to work (like I/O errors, for example), mount the floppy drive by right-clicking on the Floppy Drive in your file browser and select Detect Media or simply by left-clicking on the floppy drive (needs a MSDOS formated diskette in the drive).

Deinstallation

If installation has been made with tar.gz packages, just remove the root folder teo.

If installation has been made with .deb packages, execute sudo apt-get remove --purge teo in a Terminal.
