Thorbjoern,

The comment on xterm jogged my memory. Git DOES run in xterm from within a VNC session on the i. THAT was what I was trying to remember but it was so long ago that I couldn't recall.

puTTY, qp2term and qsh all returned the same error message but when you run it from xterm in VNC then all is well.

So, going back to Alfredo's original post: YES you can run git as long as you start a VNC session and then use xterm from within VNC.

Thanks for shaking a few bits and bytes up so I could remember. I should probably post this in the wiki or FAQ (if only for my own benefit...)

Pete

It installs just fine but when I run it I still get the "git: can't get terminal name." error.

Sounds like it needs a real terminal and not the qsh emulation.

This would be a ssh connection in, or a xterm running with an X display active.

Is there a qp2term or similar providing the same? Never used it so it is just something I _think_ I read some time ago.

Try "TERM=vt100; export TERM" just to see if it makes the message go away :)
