koreader terminal emulator does not enjoy tui applications.

@lyncia are ncurses apps a no-go?
@thufie seems so over the koreader terminal plugin.
ssh should work fine though since id be using a more standard terminal from the client device. unless something more akin to KTerm like what Kindle has comes about or I figure out how to make my own, I think for on-device usage it is a nogo
also does emacs have issues running as root? I dont have "user accounts" in my chroot so im always root for the time being, and launching emacs throws an "Access Denied" error
@lyncia How did you install emacs? In a weird chroot you may have to build it with some unique configure flags tbh.
@thufie apk add emacs
@lyncia ohhhhh... I have some advice. If you use Android emacs, it is worth getting the one built to work with a special copy of Termux, and share coreutils and such from the Termux path. See this blog post, binaries are available.
