On Ubuntu I think the easiest way to fix this problem, both workaround and packaged as a solution, is to make a simple script in /etc/profile.d/ . I called mine set_term.sh (must end in .sh). The file need only have in it
export TERM=xterm and then either run "source /etc/profile" or reboot. This will set the $TERM variable for all users on each boot without hardcoding the variable as some of the other programs I listed above have done. In one command, for those who need it run: echo "export TERM=xterm" | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/set_term.sh && source /etc/profile Hope that helps. -- Tilda: "TERM environment variable needs set" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
