I've been trying to figure out the screen/backspace problem tonight. I ssh'ed into two different Linux boxes from my Mac, an Intrepid and a Lenny system. With screen_4.0.3-11 on both machines, it only worked correctly on the Lenny system. The /etc/screenrc file was identical on the two machines. In my experiments, I didn't use any ~/.screen file.
I could find no differences on the two systems wrt. terminal settings etc. ( Identical output from stty and infocmp -l). However, on the Intrepid system, I could get the correct behaviour from screen if I invoke screen like this: $ TERM=screen screen On the Debian system, I only need to do this: $ screen -- Backspace key in GNU Screen not detected correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/29787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
