View Full Version : [ubuntu] Line wrap problem in terminal, nano etc in jaunty.

I have upgraded to jaunty and when I use nano, even when logged into another server, it no longer line wraps in 80 characters. I first thought that may be some flag to nano has changed but this is happening even when I am logged into the server and using nano installation on the server. Therefore, I think, this has something to do with the terminal and it does not notice that I have passed ~80 characters in a given line. I have no idea how to debug this or whether my guess is even remotely accurate.

Any suggestions?

You've probably already found an answer by now, but I seem to have solved the problem by creating .nanorc containing:

unset nowrap
set fill -8

(I think the second line isn't necessary, but haven't tested.)

Good luck.
