Bug 639280

Other applications in terminal:

less /etc/system-release
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
/etc/system-release  (press RETURN)

I've had another report of this too. ;( 

TERM is not getting set right. 

Can you do an 'env' command and add the output here?
Also, if you do: 

export TERM=xterm 

does everything start working?

i had this also

TERM was set to dumb for me

echo "$TERM"
dumb

export TERM=xterm

command temporarily solved my problem. Thank you! :)

Looks like a vte commit broke all vte using terminals except for gnome-terminal. ;) 

See upstream gnome bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630861

This was discussed at the 2010-10-01 blocker / nth review meeting. Since GNOME and KDE terminals are not affected we decided this was not a blocker, but definitely a nice-to-have and we would very much want it to be fixed for the release.

http://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/patch/?id=c5d31b87d7a377f5e6fe93fc1efb061f5c7e9db7

is a possible fix from upstream (already commited). 

Can folks try this scratch build:

I was also experiencing this problem. Kevin's fix worked for me - everything works properly in Terminal now. Also fixes lilyterm and tilda. Thanks Kevin!
