Package: ncurses-bin Version: 5.7+20081213-1 Severity: wishlist Most of the time when my konsole terminal go hi-wire, the Debian reset command is not able to restore it to a sensible state. On the other hand, if I log into a RedHat Enterprise machine via ssh and run the RHEL reset command, the terminal is reset to a sensible state. I just ran into the issue again, and this time I took the time to look at the package providing reset on RHEL. It is ncurses-5.5-24.20060715. Please have a look at the Fedora/RHEL version of reset to see if the Debian version can be changed to behave more like the one on RHEL.
There are two places to look: a) is "reset" on RHEL part of the ncurses package (Red Hat uses some mixture with termcap)? b) what is the terminal description (output of infocmp on each system)? -- Thomas E.
