Mandrake 10 and BitchX


I searched here and on google and really haven't found an answer to a problem I'm having with BitchX and Mandrake 10 Community. I did find someone with the same problem,

"Using Mandrake 10 Community, when I fire up BitchX and the buffer gets
full, it only changed the very bottom line of the BitchX window.
Scrolling when I do a px -aux, or ls -a is fine, the only prolem is in
BitchX. What is going on and how do I fix it? Is there a newer version
of BitchX than what comes with Drake 10?"

I looked at BitchX.org and it seems to be all up to date, so I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated as it is quite a pain to keep resizing the terminal window.

Thanks.

i have the same problem with BitchX and irssi, the only way to get around it is to open up rxvt instead of konsole and use these clients there, or if you open up a linux terminal it also works.

Solution

Hi i had that problem

all you have to do is to edit your .profile or .bash_profile file
in your $HOME
and add this lines:

TERM=Eterm
export TERM

This is for Eterm, so BitchX will work only with Eterm.
If you want another terminal just put the name instead of Eterm.

I donīt know why the bug.This is only a workaround solution.

Oskar.

It didn't work for me. I'll just use BitchX on a remote shell, thanks for trying though .
