The ndstrace screen is unreadable
when viewing in PuTTY on Windows or in Gnome Terminal on
Linux. Formatting characters are inserted in the ndstrace
data. This is due to the default TERM value on SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 10 of "xterm".
Resolution
Change the value of TERM to"linux", "vt100", or another value
that displays the ndstrace screen properly.
To resolve this issue, create a.bashrcfile for the user(s) who run ndstrace on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:
To resolve this issue, create a.bashrcfile for the user(s) who run ndstrace on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:
- At the server shell prompt, change to your home directory.

- Hit the letter i for insert mode.
- Type "export TERM=linux" (do not type the quotes)
- Hit ESC to exit insert mode, then type :wq and hit ENTER to save the file and exit to the shell prompt.
- Exit the server's shell, then start a new shell session to the server. Run ndstrace. The formatting should now be correct.
