It may no longer matter (especially if the fix mentioned by Michael in comment 1 of the bug quoted below is now merged) but FYI the "linux" term type was specified explicitly due to agetty not respecting TERM env var: commit 2161de72c517d34d1ceb9b4c1a300f0b54ce5a9c Author: Michal Schmidt <[email protected]> Date: Mon Oct 29 21:59:34 2012 +0100 units: agetty overrides TERM Environment=TERM=... has no effect on agetty who sets it by itself. To really set TERM to a specified value, it has to be given on the command line. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870622 >From comment 1: "Furthermore, I believe there's a bug in agetty. It attempts to detect the distinction between the vc and a serial line and set TERM accordingly, but it does not work as expected. I will send Karel a fix." If it's all addressed, then it might be worth mentioning that it needs an updated version (and not the v2.20 version you detailed) or that Michal's interpretation was incorrect etc. Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/ _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
