[SOLVED] Screen+wyrd

atc · 2008-08-27 12:14:10

Hey.

I recently found a great app for my calendar, remind. I also found a curses based frontend for it, wyrd.

I want to run it in screen on my server, but my problem is that wyrd doesn't look the same when opened locally and when opened in screen. You can see the minor differences on the screenshot (local left, screen right). The differences actually limit themselves to the green underline in the top and the gray day splitters in the main window. It's the day splitters I miss the most and I think the problem is screen or terminal related - correct me if I'm wrong.

Can someone please explain this to me and can I solve it?

did you check both config files are the same?
also, you can easily check if it's screen related, by launching a local screen

Right, why hadn't I thought of that. The problem is the same when running it in a local screen.
Which config files?

Compare the local config files for screen, wyrd and remind with those on the server.

The config file that should be interesting is ~/.screenrc or /etc/screenrc as it is something screen does that causes the problem.

Umm... if the problem is the same when running it in a local screen that won't really help.

Locally I haven't done anything to .screenrc.
I ran another program, calcurse, and it gave me an interesting output as well. In the screenshot below a local screen is left and a terminal is right. As you can see it doesn't draw those thin lines. Is it a limitation in screen, or is wyrd's interface just poorly written since it can't handle that?

i talked to someone who suggested to use 'screen -U' for utf-8 support, let me know if it works :]

Compare the output of 'echo $TERM' in a normal terminal and in screen.

Yipee! Your clue did it for me. The output was "rxvt-256color" locally and "screen" in screen. Adding "term rxvt-256color" solved the problem.

This is great. I had all kinds of workarounds figured out, none giving me the right output. I then resorted to not running my calendar on my server and instead sync the .reminders file. Luckily I'm done with that hazzle now.

Thanks a lot guys.
