Upon logging into my remote server with ssh, I started getting:
csh: Cannot open /etc/termcap.
csh: using dumb terminal settings.
There is no rxvt-unicode entry in /etc/termcap. You should specify one, but if you’re lazy, you can just
setenv TERM xterm
in your ~/.cshrc.
P.S. Nah, this doesn’t help. You have to put that line in /etc/csh.cshrc (via).
Obviously from the code, it’s a piece of a terminal color sequence. I also got that idea because somewhere while working on the terminal (probably in vim also), I got an error message that “[[” should be used differently, or something like that.
Just like said elsewhere, if you get this error, you probably have something misconfigured somewhere. In my case, it was
setenv TERM xterm
in my .cshrc file.
I don’t know how it got there. No, seriously. There’s probably a hacker in my box.
Here’s a great article. According to it, I just added
exec xset -b &
to .xinitrc and
set nobeep
to .cshrc.
