Error Opening Terminal Linux
2013 Beans 20 Error opening terminal: xterm. Using Ubuntu 14.04 When i type "nano" into the terminal I receive the following message: Error opening terminal: xterm. Typing "top" will give this message: 'xterm': unknown terminal type. Word wrap is not working when I push backspace on a multi-line command. Ctrl+Alt+F6 -> commands work fine. xterm works fine. Have tried creating a new user but it has the same problem. Tried what was suggested here but it doesn't help. Any other suggestions out there?

Connection from was OS X -> Ubuntu –Ryan Griffith Jul 4 at 14:09 Interestingly, I had this error in a chroot-ed environment that has only minimal programs so far. I assume that there is some program missing that causes this, but unfortunately nano does not give more information as to why it exactly fails. –shevy Aug 29 at 21:36 add a comment| up vote 19 down vote After upgrading to OSX Lion, I started getting this error on certain (Debian/Ubuntu) servers. The fix is simply to install the “ncurses-term” package which provides the file /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color.

This is what worked for me. SSH in to the remote machine and run sudo apt-get install ncurses-term Boom.
