Actually I'm using

sudo apt-get install bzr bzr-builddeb equivs

(though sudo apt-get install postfix seems to be doing the same thing) from the terminal windows, As per the iFolder instructions for installing Simias, but postfix is a dependency (I guess). Someone else seemed to have the same problem as I, but there was no resolution of the issue there.

What is happening is that a configuration screen opens up, with the configuration options, but I can't seem to select anything (and there is no cancel option).

Any idea what is going wrong? How can I fix it?

  • Have you tried hitting the tab key to see if a selector appears? Or up and down arrow keys?

  • Up and down arrows were just sliding me through the text, but not giving me anything to select (not even "Ok"). I'll try tab and get back to you here.

  • Okay, I'm dumb (small comfort, apparently I'm not the only one). Tab did the trick. Post it as an answer and I'll accept.

    This happened to me (no cursor initially, and when I hit tab it would only highlight "ok"), and I think it was because the terminal window was too small to display everything, so hitting arrow keys would just scroll it. I exited the session and tried again fullscreen, and it worked fine.
