jamerson9 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I'm having problems when telneting into my test unRAID beta server by putty and using Midnight commander, all the lines are shown in broken characters making it unusable. I've played around with some of the setting in putty, but any changes seems to make things worse rather than better. With the same putty settings I have no problems on my production 4.7 server. Is there some setting that I am missing?
dgaschk Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 You may need to set the TERM environment variable like so: TERM=xterm; export TERM Add this to the .cshrc file if it works. It may be something worse. Posts a syslog. What type of MB?
stchas Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I'm having problems when telneting into my test unRAID beta server by putty and using Midnight commander, all the lines are shown in broken characters making it unusable. I'm having the same problem on my test server running v5b11 and v5b12. Looks fine on my production server running v4.7. Setting the TERM parameter doesn't help. Here's a screenshot of Midnight Commander running on putty on my WinXP machine. Any other suggestions? Kevin [/img]
jamerson9 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Exactly the same problem seen in the screenshot by stchas. On OS X, both terminal and iterm displays MC properly, but not X11 xterm which shows exactly the same problem. TERM is set to xterm, will try get a syslog when I can get the test machine back together again.
stchas Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Did anyone solve this problem yet? Yes. Need to change the received character set in Putty to UTF-8. Here's a link with instructions: http://www.andremiller.net/content/getting-midnight-commander-line-drawing-work-putty Kevin
