Re: Scrolling console through SSH

You mean the shift + pg up/down keys don't work with SSH or there is no text in the scrollbuffer to scroll in? Which terminal emulator do you use?

Re: Scrolling console through SSH

Just tried it here.  I have Arch running in a VM running i3 with a VPN reaching back to my router at home with ssh sessions open through that tunnel to my router, my laptop, a VM running on that laptop and a Raspberry-pi running Archlinux ARM.  All four windows page perfectly with with Shift PageUp/Down.

In addition to x33a's question, what are you connecting to?
