[Bug 221614] New: ncuses: Fails with 256 color terminal
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221614 Summary: ncuses: Fails with 256 color terminal Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bwalle@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Both Konsole and gnome-terminal (or Terminal from Xfce, both use the VTE widget) have support for 256 colors. TERM=xterm-256color yast fails. I think an easy fix would be if [ "$TERM" = "xterm-256color" ] ; then TERM="xterm" fi in the yast2 start script. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Normally ncurses will work - but without configuring for extended colors, can show only 16 colors and 256 pairs. Given that, applications that do not attempt to use the extra colors in xterm-256color work fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

YaST is running, there's even no error message in the log, but the display is just black. Bernhard, I just wonder what you need 256color support for ;-) For safety sake, adding kde-maintainers to Cc: -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221614 ------- Comment #5 from kmachalkova@novell.com 2006-11-21 03:48 MST ------- OK, apparently we have some problems with xterm and linux ncurses color themes. If I use monochromatic theme in 256color xterm instead, YaST displays menus and dialogs correctly. Since trying to adjust current themes might break the display somewhere else (on different type of terminal), it will be probably best if I create new theme specific for 256color enabled terminals. But not for 10.2, I'm afraid ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Yast2-ncurses-2.15.0 never reached openSUSE 10.2!?!
Right. Yast packages with 2.15.x version are part of openSUSE 10.3. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do for openSUSE 10.2 but request releasing online update. But i) as this issue affects only very few users ii) there is an easy workaround mentioned in comment #10, I doubt it'll be really worth online update. Neverethless, I can try.
Could it be that TERM=rxvt-unicode in generell is a problem for Ncurses? I mean, also in the textmode. Against comment #2 I watched a strange behavior in Vim and Mcedit too.
Hm ... no clue (as only yast2-ncurses is mine). Adding darix (mrueckert) to Cc: -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I accept the workaround as solution. I was a bit afraid at the beginning. (comment #8) (In reply to comment #12 from Marcus Rueckert)
in generall TERM=rxvt-unicode is not a problem for ncurses (as long the terminfo file exists) i use it regularly and have no problems with vim. mc sometimes chokes on the F1-F12 keys. but i havent investigated further.
Thanks for the info. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
