alacritty problem: tset unknown terminal type alacritty
Posted on 2024-04-06 15:21:00 from Vincent in Alpine Linux
Since the upgrade to OpenBSD 7.5, when using ssh from an alacritty session, I receive the following message:
tset: unknown terminal type alacritty
Terminal type?
How to deal with that ?
Introduction
There are several ways to solve this problem.
I'll describe here few which are working on OpenBSD.
The easiest solution
Ignore this message and hit Ctrl-C.
You will enter in your remote machine, but with default setups.
Environment variable.
One of the easiest way to solve this problem is to setup the TERM variable:
TERM=xterm-256color ssh ....
Either you set this variable in your .profile file:
export TERM=xterm-256color
Either you define an alias like this (in your .profile file):
alias ssh='TERM=xterm-256color ssh'
in such case the variable will be setup each time you invoke the ssh command.
More elegant way, by using tic command
