Description of problem: run /usr/bin/screen on VT1 or other text console inside screen run /usr/bin/radio, press 'g' enter any freq+<enter> press cursor up or down screen exits ( no messages are printed ) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xawtv-3.88-1 glibc-2.3.2-37 ncurses-5.3-4 screen-3.9.15-1 How reproducible: Always , see above
does this problem still appear if you just start xawtv directly on console (not inside screen!) ?
It works ok on plain VT. ( 'g' <freq> <enter> 'crsr-up' -> crash ) But : On plain VT : "TERM=vt100 radio" has the same problem ! Inside screen on VT : TERM=linux radio does not have the problem ( has other problems , background is not colored, but black ) -- It behaves exactly the same on RHL9 Shrike too. Also it has this bug when run inside gnome-terminal-2.2.1-3 and XFree86-4.3.0- 2/xterm -- Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Psyche) Same as Shrike, except it does not exit in gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5 -- For testing without a radio card, I suggest commenting out the radio accessing functions.
ok, i have removed the radio accessing functions and it crashs with TERM=vt100 or TERM=screen on my machine It's a bug in ncurses. Workaround, you should set your TERM=linux
this appears fixed in ncurses 5.4 in FC1
