I found a work around on internet, that doesn't fix the problem with termcap anyway. Here a little overview: I use Alacritty on a OpeSUSE machine, i have fresh installed a FreeBSD. Im my first ty to use my FreeBSD server i get this kind of messages : $ tmux open terminal failed: can't find terminfo database $ vi vi: No terminal database found I have tried to import the alacritty terminfo ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alacritty/alacritty/master/extra/alacritty.info ). $ echo $TERM alacritty $ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alacritty/alacritty/master/extra/alacritty.info $ infotocap alacritty.info >> /usr/share/misc/termcap $ cd /usr/share/misc/ $ cap_mkdb -f terminfo terminfo $ date $ ls -l terminfo.db # check of the last mofification Then i logged out and logged in but nothing changes. so this part still doesn't work... The workaround is to set TERM as xterm-256color is the .shrc on FreeBSD. I'm not reallly happy with that. if you have some idea to get this fix done with termcap. :) > I don't understand why, as root, i was able to successfull redirect a > stream form infotocap to `/usr/share/misc/termcap` (the file is on > read only for everyone), but i needed to add `write` permission to > delete them. For this part it was the fact that vi check permission and i forget to use the exclamation mark in my command to write and exit. best regards -- Rollniak (Yan)
