Hi @ all,

I´m trying do connect from a Linux (SuSe 8.1) shell on a Unix-Server (Reliant Unix Siemens). The connect is ok but the Terminalsettings aren´t correct. The charakters are not displayed correctly and the Keyboard settings too. Where can I change the Terminal settings and which Terminal should I use (e.g. vt100 97801 ?)

thx for helping

Hi,

Normally vt100 or vt220 settings should work. Best way is in user profile, set TERM parameter to vt100 and export it.

Add following line in .profile of user.

export TERM=vt100

and execute the .profile by

$ sh .profile

Hi

I´d set the TERM variable to vt100 but it wouldn´t work.
By the way I got the problem under Unix too. With the console-Terminal (Alphaterminal) everything is o.k but if I try a graphical Monitor direct on the Unix-Server I got the same problem.

I´d change the TERM variable to vt100 vt330 but nothing changed.

The actually setting on the Unix-Server ist

put this line in your .profile

export TERM=vt100

and execute

. .profile

play with vt100, vt220 till you get it right..


this won't work if your intent is to set your "current" shells env. variable.. you should use ". .profile" for that...
