LISH Web Console lost color and scrolling

Hey there,

That certainly is odd. Do you have a ticket open about this? One possibility that I have seen is your Linode booted into maintenance mode which I have seen happen when there are issues with the operating system booting properly. Is the Linode itself running properly otherwise?

I have not created a ticket, I guessed that it was operator error. The linode in question has been up for almost a year, I did reboot it just to test and that did not help. I was able to see the green "ok" in some of the bootup messages.

I do have another toy linode I can blow away and start with a fresh image, is there one that you would suggest as working out of the box. That way I can try to pin down if the issue in my old image or more on the client side of the equation.

Thanks!

After some more digging it looks like the Lish terminal is being identified as a vt220 if I set it to XTERM-COLOR then I do get the correct LS behavior, although I still do not get correct resize behavior.

It seams like the problem is that Lish is not correctly identifying its capabilities when connecting. Is that configurable anywhere?

Thanks!
