armbian-config text layout’s broken when launched under screen

armbian-config looks fine when I run it.

 

 

However, its layout was broken under screen.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for reply.

I'd better some more information.

 

I run armbian-config from remote, using ssh client.

I tested with window, linux, and mac client.

everytime I run armbian-config with screen(screen means GNU screen) on any client, the layout was broken as screenshots above.

 

I definitely suspicious armbian-config does not properly handling terminal mode with screen.

Hi @3735943886,

When logging in on any of "my" Armbian devices, it will also (start and) attach to GNU screen session. I sometimes observe this behavior as well (mostly in aptitude and not armbian-config), but have not been able to pinpoint when this starts or what causes this. 

 

Have you tried to detach from GNU screen and retry? If it shows and behaves correctly outside of GNU screen, you can start digging in the environment settings first by 'env'. Perhaps also show the current active LOCALEs and write down the terminal encoding configured for your ssh client/terminal, as for me sometimes the arrow keys refuse service in aptitude (seems linked to either wrong terminal enconding on connecting client or wrong terminal type set on the Armbian side).

 

I'll try to reproduce at home and share results, perhaps you can do the same, so we can compare output.

 

Groetjes,

Not sure if this is related to armbian-config itself or the dialog method which obviously is upstream. Anyway you can have a look for yourself: https://github.com/armbian/config
