How to get sane terminal behavior with embedded linux/ RPi + usb-serial cable and GNU Screen!
Raw
override.conf
# what's more frustrating than using `screen` to a serial console then running `less` or `vim` and having it
# not use your full window width & height like a NORMAL ***ING TERMINAL EMULATOR
# this belongs in /etc/systemd/system/serial-getty\@ttyS0.service.d/override.conf
# If your terminal is something other ttyS0, adjust as needed.
# This is for Systemd (Debian Jessie and above, ubuntu Xenial/ Zesty, etc.
# There's a non-systemd equivalent in /etc/login.defs I think
[Service]
Environment="TERM=linux"
# ^^ That's it!
