http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=940459 Bug ID: 940459 Summary: new screen fails to interact with screen from SLE12 and earlier Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201505* Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: ohering@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- the current screen(1) in TW sets a new TERM variable "screen.xterm" instead of just "screen" (or whatever it was before). If one connects to a SLE12 host and tries to connect to an existing screen session the attach will fail because "TERM=screen.xterm" is not known. Please restore old behaviour or fix existing installations by providing new termcap/terminfo/termwhatever defines for the new screen variant. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

That's not a problem of screen, it always used "screen.$TERM" if the entry existed.

ncurses does not set any TERM variable -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If one connects to a SLE12 host and tries to connect to an existing screen session the attach will fail because "TERM=screen.xterm" is not known.

That is there could be a file below /etc/profile.d/ which add "TERM=screen.xterm" without checking if /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen.xterm exists -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
