Both +the Mosh server and client applications must be run with a a UTF-8 +locale, which is not Slackware's default. + +To configure your client to work in a UTF-8 locale you should refer to +Slackware documentation. + +For the server (remotehost), Mosh gets its locale setting from the +client that is conecting to it. Slackware's SSH client and server do not +send and receive locale information in their default configuration (SSH +is used bootstrap the Mosh connection). Assuming that you have +configured the client to use a UTF-8 locale you can work around this by +connecting to the remotehost as follows: + +$ mosh remotehost --server="LANG=$LANG mosh-server" + +To avoid having to do this every time add 'SendEnv LANG LC_COLLATE' to +/etc/ssh/ssh_config (on the client) and 'AcceptEnv LANG LC_COLLATE' to +/etc/ssh/sshd_config (on the remotehost) and then restart the server's +SSH daemon. + +Mosh depends on protobuf and perl-IO-Tty. |
