Summary: 256 color capable terminal is not autodetected Project: GNU Screen Submitted by: arekm Submitted on: Mon 14 Feb 2011 09:13:41 AM CET Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.0.3 Fixed Release: None Planned Release: None Work Required: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I'm using 256 colors capable terminal (TERM=konsole-256color; kde konsole terminal). When I start screen it doesn't automaticly turn on 256 color support which is IMO very bad. I have to add: # terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal # allow bold colors - necessary for some reason attrcolor b ".I" # tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm' # erase background with current bg color defbce "on" to my .screenrc to get it working somehow. It's unfortunately still not enough since screen sets TERM=screen-bce while it should set TERM=screen-256color-bce. When looking for a solution I found few bugreports in distros bugtrackers about the same issue but no real (aka patch implementing autodetection) solution. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32469> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
