Zypper is hardly the only problem.
export TERM=dumb :-)
TERM=ansi-m might actually work.
Hardly. zypper's "autodetect" logic is really broken. TERM=dumb indicates your terminal is as dumb as a line printer, i.e. limited cursor movement, which is not something you want programs to assume if all you want is getting rid of color. In fact, it precludes some programs from running: 01:43 localhorse:~/bin > TERM=dumb pine Your terminal, of type "dumb", is lacking functions needed to run alpine. Using TERM=vt100 or TERM=ansi-m works better, though ideally, someone should create a colorless terminfo entry based upon the modern "xterm" and "screen" definitions rather than vt100/ansi-m. Which brings us back to zypper: it should use ncurses/terminfo to determine color mode, not TERM==dumb. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
