After changing from one screen to another over ssh I get garbled font output. Has anyone seen this, and know of a fix?

I have seen this sometimes when running etc-update. I don't know of a fix.

I don't know why that should happen, but assuming the garbage is due to the real tty getting switched to an alternate character set, you could try the reset command at the shell prompt within screen's virtual tty, or use screen's built-in reset command C-a Z to reset the virtual tty to its initial settings.

Nope, that does not help. Having said that, I have not recently seen this behaviour.

Hi,

Just experienced this behaviour. I just detached the current screen session then reattached it.

Seemed to sort it out.

That indeed fixes it, however I have yet to find a fix for a normal session without screen.

Also noticed a quicker 'fix' in this post.

I'm having a problem running the program "screen". It seems that when switching between screens often times the text becomes garbled and unreadable. I can press Ctrl-L to refresh the screen which usually fixes the problem but it's still rather annoying. If anyone has a solution I would appreciate it. Thanks.


I have also seen this in non-screen sessions and also don't know of a fix.
