In https://github.com/GNOME/gnome- terminal/commit/1d5c1b6ca6373c1301494edbc9e43c3e6a9c9aaf I've found that you're most worried how you'll set TERM=xterm-256color. As pointed out in the links above, checking for $VTE_VERSION could be one approach. Note that vte-0.40 (gnome-terminal-3.16) will default to TERM=xterm- 256color (commit 82a8b06). It might be the best move for Ubuntu to backport this patch to its current vte packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429584 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1429584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1429584] Re: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards
This affects release: Vivid Vervet How exactly does it effect it? $COLORTERM was dropped for a good reason; appart from the links you posted the best explanation is probably at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733423. $COLORTERM should not be necessary ever. Instead of bringing it back, the distro should rather fix whoever relies on this to use better methods (e.g. xtermcontrol or equivalent; or $VTE_VERSION) instead. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #733423 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733423 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429584 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1429584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This flag is used to 'upgrade' from xterm to xterm-256color in almost every bash environment people use... $VTE_VERSION will also be dropped from version 3.15 onwards: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome- terminal/commit/71de106ca360854d63739a015278452085eeb19b -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429584 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1429584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1429584] Re: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards
This flag is used to 'upgrade' from xterm to xterm-256color in almost every bash environment people use... Then these should be fixed. COLORTERM's semantics have nothing to do with 256 color support per se, it was a mere coincidence that all terminals that set this variable also supported 256 colors. And as I said, this upgrade won't be necessary beginning with the next major VTE release, which defaults to xterm-256color. I recommend that Ubuntu backports this change. Rest assured, VTE_VERSION is not dropped. I'm using vte+gnome-terminal from git HEAD, and it's still set. I'm not sure what that commit is about, it must be something about how the command line gnome-terminal process connects to the running gnome-terminal-server or starts it up, or something like that, I'm not familiar with that area of the code. This might be about purging a previous value, but then later the correct one is set. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429584 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1429584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
