Subj : Re: Need volonteers to test another patch To : Wilfred van Velzen From : Vitaliy Aksyonov Date : Tue Mar 12 2024 07:34 pm Hello Wilfred. 11 Mar 24 09:26, you wrote to me: WvV>>>> And starting golded in a local Konsole terminal "TERM=xterm" WvV>>>> with the default charset set to utf-8: WvV>>>> # sudo -u fido LANG=en_EN.CP850 luit -encoding 'CP850' WvV>>>> /usr/local/bin/golded -f VA>>> If you use luit - than having xterm in UTF-8 is correct.

Just choose what works better for you. Probably luit and VA>>> terminal in UTF-8 is most convenient. WvV>> I'll see after I have tested with putty...

Only I suggest you to change terminal type VA>>> in putty from xterm (they use if by default) WvV>> I think it's set to 'linux' in putty. WvV> Switching from 'linux' to 'putty' makes things worse: WvV> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/8a290fabf761 That may be because terminfo for putty doesn't exist on your system. You may need to install additional packages. I have putty-256color and it works perfect. How to check. Run infocmp -D This will show you which directories are used to find terminfo. Then search in those directories, is putty available. If not - you may need install package like ncurses-term. May have different name on your system. Let me know it that helped please. WvV> Also some keys, like the F3 key stopped working. So I keep my WvV> terminal WvV> type as 'linux'. VA>>> to putty or putty-256color. It's in Connection->Data section. WvV> 'putty-256color' makes no difference. putty-256color just add more colors support. F keys are broken most probably because terminfo is missing.
