Description Marc Lattemann 2015-02-01 23:01:27 CET

starting byobu result in:

[media@MediaCenter ~]$ byobu
open terminal failed: missing or unsuitable terminal: xterm-256color

Also other terminal programs are affected. E.g.:
[media@MediaCenter ~]$ less test.txt 
tput: unknown terminal "xterm-256color"
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
test.txt  (press RETURN)

it seems it is due to an entry in .bashrc:
[ -r /home/media/.byobu/prompt ] && . /home/media/.byobu/prompt   #byobu-prompt#

this line will be added when installing byobu? After commenting the line out the program starts and also the less program does not show the error anymore. 

The same issue is true for MGA4.

According to dev-ml (and self-tested):'export TERM=xterm-color' fixed issue, also the installation of ncurses-extraterms.

Comment 2 Pascal Terjan 2015-02-03 10:05:55 CET

I guess /home/media/.byobu/prompt contains something setting TERM to xterm-256color for which you have no description (and ncurses-extraterms installs the description for it).

Added requires for ncurses-extraterms to -4.mga5.
