In https://github.com/GNOME/gnome- terminal/commit/1d5c1b6ca6373c1301494edbc9e43c3e6a9c9aaf I've found that you're most worried how you'll set TERM=xterm-256color.
As pointed out in the links above, checking for $VTE_VERSION could be one approach. Note that vte-0.40 (gnome-terminal-3.16) will default to TERM=xterm- 256color (commit 82a8b06). It might be the best move for Ubuntu to backport this patch to its current vte packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429584 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1429584/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
