Bug#412168: debian-installer: Rescue mode: terminal 'bterm' doesn't play nice with some apps in rescue shell
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
(From memory, please forgive minor errors in naming etc.)
After booting into rescue mode and starting a shell in my root
partition from the menu, the grub shell and some other
tools messed up my screen, probably because the terminal type 'bterm'
wasn't fully supported.
'man' (using 'more' as pager, I think) complained about some terminal
functions probably not working correctly, while the grub shell overwrote
much of its own output, making it mostly unusable.
I tried changing terminal emulation to
TERM={ansi,linux,vt52,vt100,vt102,vt200} with mixed but unsatisfactory
results. Does this have something to do with the console
(framebuffer) driver used during installation?
On a normal boot, my system has VCs without framebuffer, TERM=linux.
