BRs，

[shabbirk]

Hi

Try installing this package:

sudo apt-get install screen

[hxiaoqiang]

hi shabbirk，

   Thanks for your advice.

   You are right, install screen can fix this issue.

Thanks.

I get the same error for 'petalinux -c kernel' but i can run 'petalinux-config -c rootfs' sucessfuly.

Is it just the kernel config that requires screen?

[tmonaghan84]

I have have screen installed (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6) 

This does not error but the output is corrupt as below; 

Any suggestions?

Hi @tmonaghan84,

You need to follow the below steps to avoid this bug.

1- open petalinuxbsp.conf file which is stored at below location 

     vim project-spec/meta-user/conf/petalinuxbsp.conf

2- The file will contain below-commented line which you have to uncomment and change the temux OE_teminal to "screen"

File should look this     

#User Configuration

OE_TERMINAL = "screen"   

# Add EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS default components
EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS_append = " virtual/fsbl virtual/pmu-firmware arm-trusted-firmware qemu-devicetrees"

# prevent U-Boot from deploying the boot.bin
SPL_BINARY = ""

#Remove all qemu contents
IMAGE_CLASSES_remove = "image-types-xilinx-qemu qemuboot-xilinx"
IMAGE_FSTYPES_remove = "wic.qemu-sd"

EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS_remove = "qemu-helper-native virtual/boot-bin"

@smahalle. thanks for the suggestion although i still seem to get the same result after the edit to petalinuxbsp.conf.

I can run screen command without error and the Teraterm window resizes.

the environment variable is set and i see the screen process appears when the corrupt kernel configuration screen appears.

TERM=screen

Hi @tmonaghan84 

Are you using 2019.2.

Can you please share a screenshot of your petalinuxbsp.conf file

[tmonaghan84]

Hi @smahalle the contents of petalinuxbsp.conf, I am using 2019.1 , thanks

Hi @tmonaghan84,

I asked as this is a known issue 2019.2

Can you please add the below line of code in  ./bashrc 

1-  vim /home/<userdirectory>/.bashrc

2-  source ~/.user.sh

     export OE_TERMINAL = "screen"

Please try out this once.

Thanks & Regards,

Shubhangi

[tmonaghan84]

@smahalle  I still getting the same corrupt output.

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging featur$
# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=

# User specific aliases and function
source ~/.user.sh
export OE_TERMINAL

However I do not have a file ~/.user.sh
