[SLUG] A little annoying keyboard type issue...
Hi, Maybe someone can help me with a problem that came about with a new xubuntu install lastnight... Basically it appears if I use screen from a terminal session in xorg, soon as I launch screen session I can no longer use delete or backspace keys. If I ssh to the box from somewhere else using putty etc, this problem doesn't exist. So as near as I can tell, it might be related to the keyboard setup in the xorg.conf that might be in use (basically detected by the installer). The keyboard is a usb one, in this case a black microsoft oem multimedia keyboard. Not concerned about the multimedia keys, just would like backspace/delete to work in terminal session that happen to have screen loaded in them. Thanks in advance Michael Fox -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Before launch screen executable $TERM=xterm and then when I execute screen, $TERM=screen And this is seen via a putty connection also (ie. the same $TERM values). As to the other stuff you suggested, I'll need to do that tonight when I am next to the machine.
