Fixing scrambled terminal display
A scrambled terminal responds to keyboard input but the
display is incorrect. To fix a scrambled terminal:
-
Check the terminal type (TERM) for the user with
the env command. If the terminal type is incorrect,
reset it. For example, to set the terminal type for a
Wyse 60, enter:
TERM=wy60
After resetting the terminal type, reinitialize the
terminal by entering tset
with no arguments.
-
Reset serial line characteristics with the following command:
<Ctrl>j stty sane <Ctrl>j
