This sounds like a problem with the application rather than xterm. For instance, there are a few applications which have hardcoded escape sequences for Linux console's nonstandard color palettes. XTerm has a workaround for that (the brokenLinuxOSC resource setting).
Some other applications do... interesting things because they do not know about 8-bit controls. Again, xterm has a workaround for those (the allowC1Printable resource setting). Finally, there are others which (again relying upon some misfeatures in Linux console) can be worked around using brokenStringTerm. These are all in the manpage - http://invisible- island.net/xterm/manpage/xterm.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1499416 Title: xterm freeze when accepting input from usb scanner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1499416/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
