I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. But my terminal get to a bit probem sice two or three month ago. You know, when I want to see man page, git diff or something like that, I got a warning and I can't go up and down throw the results (e.g in man pages). My terminal in those cases said "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional"!. I search about that and I try to fix it by exporting TERM variable, but it was not work for me. Is there anyone that had a same problem or can say the solution? Note: I don't know when and how I got in to the problem! :D

It's likely your TERM setting is incorrect. If you don't know what TERM should be set to, try TERM=ansi or TERM=xterm-color.

  • TERM setting is "xterm", when I print the TERM by "echo $TERM" in my terminal.

    Check that the TERM setting is exported. export TERM=xterm then do man open to check.
