Debian console graphic error
when I try to install something over Putty, it looks like this:
so really buggy :). Has anyone a suggestion for this?
It's probably something to do with UTF-8 handling on different terminal types.
You could try this solution I found on linux.debian.user:
What release of PuTTY are you using? I'm using PuTTY 0.63, which is the latest release. In this version, the default value for the terminal type string is xterm. At least it is for me. I have to explicitly change it to putty, even after setting the remote character set to UTF-8. Make sure the terminal type string is all lower case. Terminal type strings are case sensitive. They have to match the terminal type definition in ncurses. The putty terminal type definition in ncurses can be found in /usr/share/terminfo/p. You can also try a terminal type string of xterm-utf8. This terminal type definition in ncurses is found in /usr/share/terminfo/x. The latest version of PuTTY can be downloaded here:
