need tips for progress bar

[russellfei]

Hi, all~
When I run demo train-on-cifar from torch7-demos on Gnome terminal, the progress bar is printed full of the window like this:

th> for i=1,20 do
xlua.progress(i,20)
print('\r')
end

However, when I run the same code on Cnetos terminal, there's only one progress bar.
What's wrong with Gnome terminal? Can anyone help me to figure out?

Well, still none replies once again.
Thankfully, there's always a chance for active searching. It has been solved by screen utility.
reference is accessible at this ask ubuntu

In summary, the gnome-terminal in ubuntu release cannot do this word wrap, but there's other versions do. screen is the right solution to this issue. Surprisingly, I ran program in screen through ssh to Centos all the time, while if the same code is implemented at pure terminal on Centos, the result is identical.

It's a pity that few people use and pay attention to this project.

Yeah I have the same problem. I also found that screen solved it. Sorry about the no-replies.

Well, I checked the wiki page last night, torch is supported through mailing list hosted by Google group--what is not accessible for me frequently, even though I use GAE.

In addition, github's repo such as purcell/emacs.d, the issues can be send as email automatically, maybe there's something could be tinkered to enable this function. Besides, maybe I'll email to you or soumith directly due to your helpful advice and hints, thx~
