Morning everybody,
I face a problem since last (security ?) upgrade from Midnight Commander
in FC3 (4.6.1a release 2.FC3 from 16 Nov 2005) with the display.
Setup is ssh -> FC3 server -> screen -> MC. I have the same problem
without screen but is less annoying. At first, I put an alias in
~/.bashrc like mc='mc -a' which is taken without running MC from screen
but not when running into screen. But this is a screen problem.
Now, running 'mc -a' give me a screen where the TOP of the screen
disappear (no command menu) and there is a one line gap between the
cursor position (reverse line) on the screen and the real position.
Drawned lines are not in the 80 columns but more, strange characters on
the screen like 'â' or reverse 'D' (have the same without screen), etc.
Ctrl/L make thinks worst. When I launch mcedit, part of the screen is
not refreshed but here Ctrl/L is doing the job.
As told, before the upgrade it was ok. I tried to change the TERM in
xterm, linux, aso., helps nothing. If someone have an idea on what's
going on, would be great.
This sounds like a locale issue. Check the server machine's
/etc/sysconfig/i18n file and make sure you have the proper language set
in there. You could also try changing the locale for the MC job by
changing the "LANG" environment variable before launching MC:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
sets the normal US English locale.
