Spot on. That did the trick.

I'd guess the TERM is not set correctly.  IIRC Minicom by default
emulates a traditional VT102 terminal, while the default Linux TERM
variable is usually "linux" (which is a superset of VT102).  Try setting
TERM=vt102 first.

Alternately, if you have screen installed, it can also be used for
serial access... run "screen /dev/ttyS0 9600" (change the device and
speed as needed).  Screen has its own superset of VT102, so you can set
TERM=screen, but it is also possibly close enough to the linux terminal
emulation to work directly (they're both ANSI supersets with similar
extensions).

Maybe "export TERM=vt100" ?

What about nmcli?

Might be a long shot - try export LANG=C.

[CentOS] Minicom and Ncurses

[Nicolas Kovacs]

Hi,

I have to do some maintenance on a CentOS 7 proxy installed on a routerboard
without a video card. The only way to access this machine directly is via
Minicom and serial port.

I'm using NetworkManager TUI (nmtui) to configure network interfaces, but
Ncurses rendering in Minicom works in the sense that chickens fly and horses
swim. What you get is a forest of question marks with a few barely recognizable
options lost in between.

Is there some magical trick to render Ncurses interfaces correctly in Minicom ?

Cheers,

Niki
