Since emerging baselayout 1.8.2, using screen (not sure if it happens otherwise), I get this every time I open a new vt: "/etc/termcap", line 2331, terminal 'hpansi': exit_am_mode but no enter_am_mode "/etc/termcap", line 2385, terminal 'iris-ansi': save_cursor but no restore_cursor "/etc/termcap", line 2403, terminal 'iris-ansi-ap': save_cursor but no restore_cursor "/etc/termcap", line 4359, terminal 'vi603': enter_insert_mode but no exit_insert_mode "/etc/termcap", line 8138, terminal 'dg+ccc': set_color_pair but no initialize_pair "/etc/termcap", line 8508, terminal 'd430c-dg-ccc': set_color_pair but no initialize_pair "/etc/termcap", line 9587, terminal 'hp+color': set_color_pair but no initialize_pair "/etc/termcap", line 9595, terminal 'hp2397a': set_color_pair but no initialize_pair
Jon, any chance Debian got a nice working /etc/termcap ? Please mail me it if so, thanks. I would like to leave it out, but app-editors/vi (in console) and rhide needs it (among things).
Don't ask me why, but it's gone now. Grr!
I lied -- it's still there. I had forgotten I'd made the prior statement, it's been there the whole time. It takes quite a bit of time sometimes to start up. I'll look into the Debian termcap.
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/oldlibs/termcap-compat.html has a link where you can download the termcap tarball. termtypes.tc contains the Debian-modified termcap (I would recommend this one, the modifications are 'good'), and termtypes.tc~ contains the original. Although an older termcap, it's much faster, and shorter by about 10% Please note that I feel that there should be a termcap-compat package as well. No reason to have a 700KB file in /etc if there isn't need for one.
So this one works fine for you ?
It seems much better, but there is still a delay. The $60,000 question is why screen cares about termcap anyway. It's probably being compiled incorrectly -- I'll look into this.
*ncurses-5.2.20020511-r2 (3 Sep 2002) *ncurses-5.2-r6 (3 Sep 2002) Have --disable-termcap added to ./configure. Updating to one of these versions, and then remerging screen should fix this.
