How do you configure an ssh terminal windows

colporteur

image

The image shows two terminal windows. The top image is from a console at the keyboard and the other image is from console on an SSH session. What parameter would I change to an ssh terminal session to create the same screen output as the login console?

 

The login console creates boxes around data fields. The ssh substitutes characters. I like to make it the same.

 

I'm using a Pi as a GPS receiver. The tool gpsstatus displays differently on a console terminal window than an SSH console terminal window. I was hoping someone might be able to share the configuration changes to the ssh terminal window to bring it in line with the console?

 

I'm not sure what to adjust in the terminal window setup. Any hints or suggestion that I could search would be appreciated.

    It looks like the fork in the road is one application is python and the other is a compiled binary. Examining the python I can see cursers is being used. Getting the ncursers package installed and bashing the parameters has that application working the lines. The other application, part of a gpsd package sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps, all suffer the same fate on the ssh shell. The lines are characters.

     

    I'm not confident there is a solution. I'm unable to see inside the application to find a work around. I appreciate your responses. It did get me on the right path fast.
