Solved: 'xterm-16color': unknown terminal type.

Posted over 2 years ago by Philip Ingram

when using the linux command top, i noticed that i was getting the following error message printed out from my server, in my Mac OS x terminal.

‘xterm-16color’: unknown terminal type.

Well, I was wondering what the heck was happening, and it turns out in my .bash_profile file, i had input an export terminal type that wasn’t supported by the server.

The Fix….

all i did was delete the line below from my .bash_profile file.

export TERM=xterm-16color

Your mileage may vary, but there is little on the web that tells you how to fix it, so here you go.

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share. Many thanks!
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!
Sorry for the off-topic, could you tell where I can get such a nice pattern for my blog ?!….
Unbelievable. Class..!!

Interesting, but still I would like to know more about it. Liked the article:DD
Mi dispiace, ma, a mio parere, si sbaglia. Sono sicuro. Io propongo di discuterne.
