I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. But my terminal get to a bit probem sice two or three month ago. You know, when I want to see man page, git diff or something like that, I got a warning and I can't go up and down throw the results (e.g in man pages). My terminal in those cases said "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional"!. I search about that and I try to fix it by exporting TERM variable, but it was not work for me. Is there anyone that had a same problem or can say the solution? Note: I don't know when and how I got in to the problem! :D

It's likely your TERM setting is incorrect.
If you don't know what TERM should be set to, try TERM=ansi or TERM=xterm-color.

what is the TERM setting in your .bash_profile or .profile? – suspectus Mar 30 '13 at 11:30

TERM setting is "xterm", when I print the TERM by "echo $TERM" in my terminal. – Hamid Reza Hasani Mar 31 '13 at 04:24

2Check that the TERM setting is exported. `export TERM=xterm` then do `man open` to check. – suspectus Mar 31 '13 at 09:21

As I said before I check it by exporting something like that, but it is not work for me! BTW I export TERM again and test but it is not work! – Hamid Reza Hasani Mar 31 '13 at 12:59
