Folks,

I am using a CentOS 7 machine and using konsole.

When I ssh to a slackware machine and start vi, it doesn't start correctly, doesn't seem to start full screen. So I use vim which starts full screen. But in vim, I can't highlight, copy and paste.

This works fine on CentOS 6 to slackware.

And it works fine connecting CentOS 7 to CentOS 6.

It's a long-shot, but... has anyone else run into this?

I haven't run into what you have going on.

I'm willing to find out why with my 2 machine's as I'm running the same to distributions as you.

I'm not on a server yet so I may not be able to ssh my CentOS 7 machine to Slackware or vice versa.

If there is something I can run for you to test?

With VM you can hold down Ctrl-Alt-Enter keys at the same to get full screen.
I'm not sure if that will work in Vim but it can't hurt to try-

Why you can't highlight, copy and paste in vim has me baffled. (you should be able to)
Perhaps the PDF will be of some use.

Z,

Thanks for the reply, at the moment I'm not doing anything about this because I don't know what to do.
But, to replicate the issue:

Open up a terminal on your CentOS 7 machine (I'm using Konsole 2.10.5).
ssh to the Slack machine.
On the Slack machine, vim a file.
Now use the mouse to highlight text.

Usually the text is copied by just highlighting, but not here ... So ....
If I click 'Edit' up top, the copy is greyed out.
If I right click the text, no menu, it undoes some of the highlighting.


I know that highlighting text is a tricky thing, right now I'm just working around this.

In order to ssh to my Slackware machine I need to have LAMMP stack installed and working right?

No, LAMP is Linux + Apache + Mysql + PHP, which is a web server.

SSH is a secure shell, which requires the SSH Daemon be running on the target machine.

Thanks szboardstretcher

I found a Commandline SSH User Guide- (read that a while)

Probably if you did a default install of Slackware ssh will be up and running.

I have to look.
I did perform a default install--

Maybe try a different terminal to get full screen.
Or check the terminal variables against 6.

Just an idea/suggestion:-

Probably your TERM variable is not being set correctly when you log in via ssh. What does "echo $TERM" tell you when you log in? Try setting it to something conservative and sensible, like "vt100", then running vi.
