  I use xterm on my desktop PC, and then...

export TERM="xterm"

  I am not using "screen" or whatever.

What terminal emulator are you using and what did you set the $TERM to?

Are you running any terminal multiplexer?

  No... but I didn't set it in the past, and still got the link during
the install.

Do you have the symlink USE flag set for gentoo-sources?

[gentoo-user] Terminal over ssh badly scrambled

2021-06-09 Thread Walter Dnes
  I'm installing on a new machine.  I much rather prefer doing it
remote, so I can compare side by side with my current machine.  But the
terminal is badly scrambled.  See attachment.  Some Google hits
suggested checking that "TERM" and locale match on both machines.  They
do match on my systems.  What next?

  Another item that may or may not be related... emerging Gentoo sources
did not create a symlink from "linux-5.10.27-gentoo" to "linux", so I
had to do it manually.  I suppose I could've used "eselect kernel set 1"
instead.
