screenshot at runtime

I recently updated from ncurses-6.0-r1 to ncurses-6.1-r1 for testing it, and while it broke one package (lynx) at compile time, it kind of broke the output of sys-process/htop

This happens on arm with lxterminal, amd64 with either gnome-terminal, or xfce4-terminal is not affected. Can test lxterminal with amd64 upon request, same goes for testing current unstable htop-2.1.0 against ncurses-6.1-r1. 

Might be related to this: https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/issues/695

What version of the htop package do you have installed?

In case it's not sys-process/htop-2.1.0-r1, please try that version and report back your results.

Comment 3 tt_1 2018-03-26 15:36:16 UTC

This affects all versions of htop with all versions of lxterm, which are in tree. Did a runtime test on all of them, it shows this broken output for cpu load, memory load and system load with all of them. 

Only solution at the moment is to downgrade ncurses. Also took the new ncurses-6.1-r2 ebuild for testing this.

Comment 4 tt_1 2018-04-02 11:39:19 UTC

This is likely related to lxterminal only, if I login via ssh (host terminal is gnome-terminal) into the affected system, there are no problems with htop.

Not just kde-apps/konsole, then?

No or otherwise I'd have seen that on the day I bumped ncurses. I use kde-apps/konsole exclusively.

Comment 7 Ortwin Glueck 2018-08-13 09:58:22 UTC

should be fixed with current stable kde-apps/konsole-18.04.3

Comment 8 tt_1 2018-10-15 08:12:24 UTC

this can be fixed by dropping TERM=vte to your .bashrc

I'll open a pullrequest which adds an elog message to lxterminal, giving users a hint and thus a chance to act accordingly.

Comment 9 tt_1 2019-05-24 13:40:16 UTC

this is fixed with lxterminal-0.3.2
