Awesome. Well, at least for some reason your message here embarked me on a new idea. My problem has something to do with something I run in my .profile. I think i'll have some new questions now =) .....
Aite folks, I copied someone's .profile and it has some weird prompt stuff ..that for some reason sets TERM=linux ...whew. ..all fixed. bb -----Original Message----- From: Dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 05, 1999 10:06 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: more about garbled terminal Good news! I installed the `screen' package and it works like a charm... I set my configuration to ansi and used grep to make sure and this is what I got: TERM=ansi _=TERM Then I shut down the telnet session, started a new one, logged in using vt100 and this is what I got after using grep: TERM=vt100 If that isn't enough, I tested it further by setting the terminal type in my client to dec-whatever the hell. This is my responce from grep: TERM=dec-vt100 So in conclusion, this is the answer to all of the problems. Let me know if it works for you. >From: Dan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: debian-user@lists.debian.org >Subject: Re: more about garbled terminal >Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 04:25:40 GMT > >Hey, I found something.
