I have Linux "installed" on my Pixelbook, but irssi and Weechat seem
to cause everything to freeze. Either that or it's Linux itself on
Chrome OS. So, I'm now using Byrd. Do you know if there's a way to
turn logging on?

Ah man, this could be anything, but the first thing I'd check is what
scripts you have loaded (or get loaded by default).

I know for instance issues have come up with beeps.

I also know that anything using libnotify can cause freeze's if there
is nothing to consume notifications.

(you can test that theory with notify-send)

To run weechat with no plugins you can do `weechat -p -d /tmp/test`

Then slowly load your plugins with `/plugin load <file>`

For the original question: there are debug sections in the weechat
config which can enable logging, but if it's a full freeze then it
might not log. I'd test components that could cause this before
continuing with logging.

(try notify-send, try removing scripts, and try some other full screen
TUI application such as ncdu or htop)

Hey, thanks for all the info. I really like Weechat the best so far,
but I'm suspecting that Linux progs just don't run like they should on
this chromebook/Pixelbook. I was really hoping to find out if there's
a way to log channels and servers in Byrd. It's pretty bare-bones, but
I think that logging should be an option. Thanks again.

I also use irccloud. It's great!

Yeah, I like it a lot. But I can't select and copy anything to the
buffer without saving a log file and then opening it up with a basic
text editor. Other than that, it's the most configurable IRC client
for Android, which includes AndroIRC.

I'm using an Android app for IRC on my Pixel Slate.

Seems to do the job for me.
