[Bug 1153946] New: s390: set TERM to dumb on dumb terminal
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1153946 Bug ID: 1153946 Summary: s390: set TERM to dumb on dumb terminal Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: S/390-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: ro@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- from original fate#324197 and jira#SLE-9877
Customer is requesting to have a profile that will set the TERM=dumb when >>logging on to ttyS0. This is to keep the color control characters from >>messing up the view when on the 3215 console on system-z. We manually created a profile and put it in the /etc/profile.d directory >>that works. Here are the contents of that profile: # # /etc/profile.d/dumbterm.sh # # This sets the term type to dumb if the user appears to be using a limited # functionality terminal, such as a 3215 terminal. if [ "${tty}" = "/dev/ttyS0" ]; then export TERM="dumb" fi Customer is requesting that we ship something like this profile so he doesn't have to create it for each guest he spins up.
now I'd clearly say, not even on s390 all terminals are dumb, ascii console definitely has different capabilities. known: LPAR line console: - /dev/sclp_line0 - TERM is set to vt220 - terminal is in line mode and "dumb" would be appopriate LPAR ascii console: - /dev/sclp0 - TERM is set to vt220 - terminal is in full featured mode and "dump" would be artifically limiting please fill in for ZVM and KVM guests I'd assume at least a KVM guest can have a non-dumb serial console. The task is how to find out if we run on a line-mode terminal ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
