Issue with application

hendrik baars — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:02:47 GMT

Hello HP-admins. I encounter a strange problem. We have an application running that shows up a character based menu. However the colours of this menu are apparently changed after the first user started up the application (he is ok the rest is not). After that all other users encounter strange (pink ;-)) colours. The same setup on another box doesnt have the issue. I compared everything and I cant find any difference between the two boxes (shared libraries/binaries/shell settings. Any ideas what might cause this behaviour?

Did you checked all environment settings.

Hi:

The 'terminfo' database defines terminal-dependent capabilites.

The $TERM environmental variable should be correctly set so that the proper 'terminfo' applies.

Shalom,

You may also need whats called a termcap file. That is matched to your TERM.

There should be specifications in the application documentation.

To do this an RTFM is required, IMO.

Also, if you're using terminal emulator software, check / compare the settings between working / non-working user(s)
