Hi all,
I recently upgraded my system to the latest snapshot and started
having issues with curses based applications on xterm. The problem
seems to be related to using a terminal name other than the default
'xterm'. Some examples below with 'XTerm.termName' set to
xterm{,-16color,-256color} on my ~/.Xresources:
pinentry-curses (plass cat password/entry):
xterm-16color and xterm-256color:
gpg: public key decryption failed: Screen or window too small
gpg: decryption failed: Screen or window too small
xterm:
pinentry-curses works as expected
vis(e):
xterm-16color:
Starts fine but I get the following warning in the statusbar:
Warning: unknown term `xterm-16color'
xterm-256color:
Failed to start curses interface: No such file or directory
xterm:
vis(e) works as expected
tog (Game of Trees):
xterm-16color and xterm-256color:
Error opening terminal: xterm-16color.
Error opening terminal: xterm-256color.
xterm:
tog works as expected
I noticed that ncurses was recently updated[1], so I'm guessing
that this issue could have been fixed already and I just need to
wait until next snapshot?
Thanks.
Johannes
