Hi there, I recently upgraded to latest stable Ubuntu (18.04 LTS). Unfortunately, after building screen from source, 256 mode no longer seems to work. For example, if I launch vim, it reverts to the 8 color color scheme.
This was a problem with both the 4.6.2 release (which appears to be the latest officially tagged release) and the older 4.5.1 release that I've been using on Ubuntu 16.04 and worked flawlessly with 256 colors. I tried setting `term 'screen-256color'` inside ~/.screenrc, but that caused errors with some terminal applications, for example when I ran gdb: $ gdb "TERMCAP", line 20, col 1, terminal 'SC': Illegal character - '^J' "TERMCAP", line 20, col 1, terminal 'SC': wrong type used for string capability 'FA' GNU gdb (GDB) 7.11.1 _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
