webterm unminimize command missing?

[Twilight]

A lot of commands in webterm basically tell you a bunch of stuff has been not installed or minimized and you should run `unminimize` for a full interactive experience.

This used to work great.  However, I just tried it and the unminimize command is not found now.

Does anyone know what happened?  Does anyone know how to get it back?

We NEED the unminimize command sometimes.

Hello Mate,

Hope doing well,

1.Can you check the below command that its having the command existence :

`ls /usr/bin/unminimize` 

2. If not, another possibility check : are you running the same dbr when it worked last time and now ? 

If not there might be databricks has fixed or removed this completely in new dbrs. 

3. if possible you can try below code in the community edition to update the ubuntu config: 

wget <ubuntu-repo-url>/unminimize
chmod +x unminimize
sudo ./unminimize

Please ignore if this might not help.

Thanks for the ask.

1. no such command exists

2. probably not - we tend to dump old clusters and create new ones (for new sets of data) fairly frequently and (I think) use the latest stable DBR when creating

3. I did find a workaround.  unminimize has been added to apt so doing apt update, followed by apt install unminimize worked.

Given the importance of the command (for those that use webterm for anything serious), I don't understand why it would have been  dropped from the standard install in later DBRs.
