Hello, I have a queer problem. I'm using debian etch with kde. I'm facing this problem in the "konsole" application wherein if the command, etc that I'm typing overflows into the next line, it does not do a 'carriage feed' (so to say), instead the new text overwrites the currently existing text in the same line... Any ideas how I may fix this problem?
Thanks for the reply...
This is typically due to bash having an incorrect value for $COLUMNS. Try:
export COLUMNS=80
currently, in my setup: ~ $ echo $TERM xterm ~ $ echo $COLUMNS 108
But even changing COLUMNS to 80 didn't help
and see if it helps. It's also possible that $TERM is set incorrectly. What's the output of:
echo $TERM
