Package: screen Version: 4.0.3-11 Severity: normal
Screen does not necessarily honour backspace from the terminal it is in. Backspace works fine without screen in all these cases (e.g. running in a serial console, in lxterminal, a few other cases I don't remember). This isn't a terminal emulator issue although many terminal emulators allow to you paper over screen's failings by allowing you to change the definition of backspace to ^H. lxterminal does not which is what lead to to google for solutions and the discovery that it's not the emulator's fault but screen's. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages screen depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncursesw5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l screen recommends no packages. screen suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
