Cannot SSH to some devices
I have decided to try out some different terminal emulators and found this one, It looks like everything with this emulator fits for me, but unfortunately, I am not able to login to some devices via SSH or Telnet. With majority of the remote machines I have tried everything is fine. But when trying to connect to a machine that is not linux I get "connection closed", meanwhile connecting to same devices via different emulators is possible.
Hey @erdanilevicius thanks for the issue, whenever you use Rio via SSH what's the TERM env? Could it be connected to this https://raphamorim.io/rio/docs/frequently-asked-questions/#i-get-errors-about-the-terminal-being-unknown-or-opening-the-terminal-failing-or-functional-keys-like-arrow-keys-dont-work ?
locally and in the device server that I use to SSH to other devices my TERM env is xterm-256color using RIO and other terminal emulators. It was the first thing I was looking into, because of experience with kitty not working properly with SSH.
I see! Whenever you do SSH on Rio, the server TERM should match with the host otherwise can lead to weird behaviours. Like kitty also ask about it https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/faq/#i-get-errors-about-the-terminal-being-unknown-or-opening-the-terminal-failing-or-functional-keys-like-arrow-keys-don-t-work

Yep, unfortunately, in my case it matches, I'm unable to do certain things, like mentioned in this thread. Is it like with kitty, that if using different terminfo than the terminal emulator comes with(in this case using xterm-256color instead of rio), can break some of the functionality?

yes,
but you can run TERM=xterm-256color ssh every time that you connect via ssh or install rio terminfo on your server: https://raphamorim.io/rio/docs/install/terminfo
but you can run TERM=xterm-256color ssh every time that you connect via ssh
Unfortunately, I have that one set as alias in my zshrc to pass it, but it doesn't fix the original issue for me, all other terminal emulators work as intended.
same issue here. $TERM is both xterm-256color on both (OpenBSD) host and client, and the ssh connection immediately terminates.
