I've got a freeshell.org account, and they're running NetBSD. When I SSH into that account, the terminal looks fine, but when I start irssi, the entire screen blinks on and off about once a second. This is from my Debian Stretch box running KDE, with konsole as terminal and bash as shell.
I've got another machine here that runs GNOME (under Fedora); I tried the same thing using gnome-terminal and the screen didn't blink when I started irssi. Can anyone offer some suggestions to solve this? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."
