Description:
I just installed the latest glances package and when I try to run it, the screen gets cleared and I get the following (skewed) error messages:

Traceback (most recent call last):
glances File "/usr/bin/glances", line 9, in <module>
load_entry_point('Glances==1.7.4', 'console_scripts', 'glances')()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/glances/glances.py", line 4858, in main
use_bold=use_bold)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/glances/glances.py", line 2072, in __init__
curses.use_default_colors()
_curses.error: use_default_colors() returned ERR


and nothing happens, besides the fact echo is turned off on my terminal and I have to exit it.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
1.7.4-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Install the latest version
type 'glances'
This task depends upon

I'm not able to reproduce. Which term are you using?

I get the following in both termite-git 1:7.36.g85f8a26-1 as well as in rxvt-unicode 9.19-1. I am not a regular user of this program, but I saw someone having issues on the forums, and installed to test.

Curtis, this traceback should be fixed by 1.7.4-2. Jonathan traceback is different.

I've tried a bunch of terms, including lxterminal and urxvt, as well as swapping to a virtual terminal. They all do the same thing. And I just tried konsole. Ditto. I must be missing some kind of dependency.

I tested with a clean chroot and works pretty well. Is your arch is up-to-date? Is your term support color?

I found this BR: https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/247

Doh! I had a

TERM=vt100

in my .bashrc, which I guess doesn't support colors! Not sure how that got in there, but if I take it out and start a new shell, the TERM is xterm and it all works just fine...

Nevermind...
