WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
ppp.pyess RETURN)
(END)

I just configured the ¹keymap and my terminal starts complaining. I had/have a similiar problem with vim that looks like this:

E558: Terminal entry not found in terminfo
'Te' not known. Available builtin terminals are:
    builtin_ansi
    builtin_xterm
    builtin_iris-ansi
    builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'ansi'

I have a feeling they are related. Anything familiar?

BTW. An annoying feature of the vim glitch is that my syntax highlightning gets messed up. Maybie it's can point somewhere...

[EDIT]
¹Note: Before I configured my keymap I couldn't use the ALT GR/MOD button so: | @$ etc. was not possible to say.

It seems the applications don't like your TERM variable. Try exporting some regular terminal name, for example:

export TERM=xterm

and check if it does help.

Well for some reason it works now except on other computers (thru ssh). Well now I see. My $TERM is set to: Te and I've certainly never heard of a terminal called Te. Where are the environment variables set?

Usually the terminal itself sets the TERM variable. Which terminal are you using?

I use terminal. I was the built-in one (or at least the first one I foúnd) and it works perfectly for me. I have xterm but it spits out error messages and looks really ugly (I've always hated it!). So, should I just set the variable in my source file?

[EDIT]
However it looks like terminal uses xterms settings. So I'll just set TERM=xterm in /etc/bash.bashrc right? (It's when I type xterm that I get this ugly terminal)

In Terminal's preferences go to Advanced section. There you can set the TERM variable, that's where you should do it. Write xterm in the "$TERM setting:".
