I'm trying to run irssi
under cygwin
and it gives me this error:
$ irssi
Terminal doesn't support cursor movement
Can't initialize screen handling, quitting.
You can still use the dummy mode with -d parameter
It was working like yesterday. I don't know what I did to break it. Tried reinstalling it, didn't help.
How are you using cygwin? Are you using
mintty
or theCygwin Bash Shell
? What is your TERM environment variable set as?echo $TERM

$ echo $TERM

– Alex – 2011-07-16T16:26:02.153Try using mintty with a $TERM value of either
vt100
orxterm
instead. – Darren Hall – 2011-07-19T17:49:51.077
