Adding for completeness sake, if using Alpine Linux the ssh escape sequence menu and output will not display correctly if using /bin/ash from BusyBox as your login shell. One work-around is to type 'cat [Return]' and then use the escape sequences, or to carefully change your shell to /bin/bash
- CoolCold 4y agoWith all that glory of Alpine, my personal choice is to avoid having it on server side, it's too much "if" with it to keep in my memory.
- blueflow 4y agoAlpine Linux user here, i could not reproduce that. How does the used shell even matter for that? The ssh client talks to the tty directly, not via shell.
- LinuxBender 4y agoThis thread [1] explains the issue people run into. I ran into it and thus found that explanation. Verified I can still reproduce it on Alpine 3.17.3 up to date on patches For clarification regarding what I mean with menu and output will not display the disconnect command will still work but there will be no feedback. So disconnecting will work but one won't get the menu or feedback on changing verbosity or dropping to a command line or displaying forwarded connections, etc... and a few of the sub-commands will not work.
