Has anyone else seen a problem with top -H -S?
after a short while the screen gets more and more corrupted..
hitting ^L or turning off S& H modes helps .. for a while.
If this is a known fixed problem, let me know but I need to co-ordinate with
others
to upgrade the machine in question.
Not seeing it here on 9-stable. Could it be a display issue? I am
using gnome-terminal with TERM defined as 'xterm'.
yeah I'm on a mac with iterm, but running through 'screen' .
it's never been a problem before.. just since we upgraded to 9-stable.
If you remove GNU screen from the picture does the problem go away? If
so, I'm not surprised. :-)
Make sure that when you're using GNU screen, that all shells launched
"under/within" screen have TERM=screen. If they don't, then this is
almost certainly the problem -- GNU screen "translates" between terminal
types, meaning it translates its own terminal type ("screen") into
whatever TERM is currently attached ("xterm", "iterm", whatever). See
the last 4 paragraphs of my post here to understand what exactly GNU
screen is doing:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-June/063052.html
So, in general, make sure your dotfiles and so on don't mess about with
the $TERM environment variable and you should generally be okay.
it seems to have stopped doing it for no apparent reason
will keep an eye on it. and save this email away for when it does it
again.
If within GNU screen TERM=screen and you see the problem, but outside of
screen you use TERM=xterm (or something else) but don't see the problem,
then I would almost certainly blame GNU screen. If you're looking for
something that simply keeps a terminal running in the background, try
nohup or tmux.
Alternately, possibly someone added a "screen" entry to /etc/termcap on
RELENG_9? I don't use 9 so I have no way to confirm this, but on 8
there is no such entry.
