| Screen cannot open terminal error | 2018-07-03 | How to fix a "Screen cannot open terminal" error |
|
The problem
At my current workplace there are die hard screen fanatics that refuse to upgrade to tmux. Sometimes I get the following error : {{< highlight sh >}} Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. {{< /highlight >}}
The solution
This error means that you did not open the shell with the user you logged in with. You can make screen happy by running : {{< highlight sh >}} script /dev/null {{< /highlight >}}
In this new environment your screen commands will work normally.
