screen multiterminal questions

[vleutmans]

Hi all,

When I use screen for multiterminal, then this corrupts the mc (midnight commander) look. Also it corrupts the tmsnc. It seems not to allign the lines anymore.
furthermore after starting screen, my defined aliases are gone.

Any way to fix this stuff, as I use screen a lot (multi terminal, weechat/bitlbee transmission etc.).

no idea. Is 'putty' not an alternative??

You also use putty in combination with 'winscp'

Hi,

"screen" is not a terminal like "putty".
When you install screen you can have like multiterminal in a way like "windows" so multiple shells that you can switch to.
In one shell you run mc, in another one weechat, in another one lynx, just as an example. So then you use your asus router for multiple tasks in multiple windows.

Hi,

there's something you need to add to the post boot file in order to let MC work properly. Perhaps, this solutions also works for the problem you're having with MC in screen. (it adds something about MC to the profile)

only thing is, I cannot find it anymore in any tutorial.
I think I have an old backup at home with the code.

I will take a look tonight and post the code.

I understand, but you could also open multiple putty sessions...

Hi,

a bit late but here it goes.
unfortunately it seems that the code is only for coloring MC
add this to your post-boot file




# colored mc
echo "export
TERMINFO=/opt/share/terminfo">>/etc/profile
echo "alias mc=\"mc
-c\"">>/etc/profile
