Glance outputfrom HP-UX machine to Linux terminal = jibberish

Patrick Ware_1 — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:53:15 GMT

Hello, I don't know if I just have the wrong terminal variable set, but I login to a HP-UX server from my Red Hat Linux workstation, and run glance. When glance starts, the status bars do not show up correctly, but as jibberish... Anyone know what I might do to fix this? What setting?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, to clarify, it works from the main terminal, but not from terminal windows inside of gnome.

gnome-terminal has trouble with some of the escape sequences that glance sends for the default TERM value of xterm. You can get clean glance output to gnome-terminal by setting "export TERM=dtterm". The terminfo sequences for HP-UX's dtterm work well with gnome-terminal. Glance will complain if you try to use it in an 24x80 gnome-terminal. It wants at least 25 lines to allow room for function key labels.
