links browser and open in new window

yellowfox · 2008-03-20 19:38:42

I have 2 problems with links and elinks. All time when I type "open in new window" it work but it open always in xterm, not in the same terminal I`m using at that moment for example mrvxt

Second problem is that I can`t open new tab normal or in background in elinks or links-g

In elinks, under setup > terminal options it tells me:

The environmental variable TERM is set to 'xterm'

I think that environmental variables are set in /etc/profile. You can probably also set it in your .bashrc.

As far as opening new tabs, I had no problems.

I tried to change variable TERM in .bashrc or in /etc/profile but I saw in console only

Error opening terminal: mrxvt.

When I set this variable to "xterm" I had`t see any message as above

I read too some about infocmp, this commned show some info included in /usr/share/terminfo about terminals but I found only info about xterm

infocmp Terminal
infocmp: couldn't open terminfo file /usr/share/terminfo/T/Terminal.
infocmp mrxvt
infocmp: couldn't open terminfo file /usr/share/terminfo/m/mrxvt.

I put this in my .bashrc and it worked:

TERM=mrxvt
export TERM

then I did:

source .bashrc

[yellowfox@netrunner ~]$ source .bashrc
[yellowfox@netrunner ~]$ nano .bashrc  
Error opening terminal: mrxvt.

I had the same problem (I thought it was just me). I think what I did was change
TERM=mrxvt
to
TERM=xterm
in gedit.

Once bash stopped giving me errors, I changed xterm back to mrxvt.

What happens when you type
echo $TERM
?
