[opensuse-factory] terminfo 6.1 & xterm-256color
Hello all: With the latest update of terminfo, I can no longer use 256 colours in a terminal. When I launch mc, it will fallback to the default 16 colour theme. Also the arrow keys do not work. If I set TERM to xterm-color, the arrow keys works again. I have tried this with several terminals with the same result. Have anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

I've the same error with "screen" the screen manager. Also solved with TERM=xterm the error is also solved. Remark - I added the line export TERM=xterm in /etc/bash.bashrc.local /etc/profile.local Now it works also in a new terminal session.

but you also have lost color output which may make no difference to you but may to others. iow, you have used a sledge hammer to drive a tack. the problem is within konsole or supporting files, not your entire system. but, whatever floats yer boat. flash: todays offering for tw, konsole-17.12.2-1.1.x86_64, contains a fix, rpm -q --changelog konsole Unknown terminal: screen-256color Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. you can change your added lines to /etc/bash.bashrc.local and /etc/profile.local back to what you had previously. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

might hold up on that, the purported "fix" did not work for me.

Now I'fe done some additional analysis: $screen -D -R check Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm-256color'. $echo $TERM xterm-256color /etc/terminfo/ is empty if I set $TERM= $screen -D -R check Please set a terminal type. $TERM=konsole screen works again crazy - no Idea what was the basic reason and changed ruing last zypper up??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Make sure that both the packages terminfo-base-6.1 *and* terminfo-6.1 are installed. With both screen should simply use screen.xterm-256color Werner -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr

Beside this, there is also a package terminfo-screen. The reason for the existence for this package is that screen would switch to e.g. TERM=screen.xterm if it found TERM=xterm in its environment. But this might cause trouble if a ssh/slogin connection to an older or foreign system is performed as the this remote system might not know about TERM=screen.xterm due missing terminfo entries.

mc uses slang instead of ncurses and the slang version on Tumbleweed can not handle the 32bit terminfo entries like xterm-256color, but I've submitted a fixed version, see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1079543 ... any test is welcome ;) Werner -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr
