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?
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?
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.
