Okey now since i've found http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/screen-users/2005-03/msg00045.html I've looked at my environment variables, and I found that the variable TERM is set to xterm. So I tried to delete it by exporting an empty value to it, and now when trying to start a screen session i get the error: "Please set a terminal type." I also tried to set the term variable to "vt100" and then i get the error "Cannot find terminfo entry for 'vt100'."
So how can I get valid terminfo entries for any term, or which other terminal could i try? Am 10.
