Hello!


The server is Ubuntu Server 8.10 LTS
the connection is SSH.
I cant connect with your Program out of the box - i get the error failed to match - i have to enable older ssh algorithm like here: https://docs.devolutions.net/kb/devolutions-powershell/remote-desktop-manager/ssh-algorithm-support/
But even now i have the same error like in my Installation.

I saw a function to overwrite the terminal type, where you enter something with text - i cant find anything about the function in the guide and web i could not find anything and chatgpt was rather vague too.

Thank You!

Hello Matthias,

When i enter XTERM or VT100 i get the error instead of the the xterm 256color i get Error opening terminal: VT100/XTERM.

Hello,

Could you please try connecting to the remote PC using a different application? This will help us determine if the issue is specific to RDM.

Best regards,

I tested putty and got the same error - i had tho set at connection - data to xterm and its running nano as usual.

I entered the error in chatgpt and it told me about thereason and about the correct "codec" to use.
If those settings equals the one in the RDM override terminaltype it seems in the RDM the setting at this part is not equally recognised.

I got it now!
I had to use "xterm" in small letters:


Thank you for your time and Help!
