Section 1. Configuration<\/p>\n
Follow the following steps. Please do not use scandinavic
\ncharacters until you have proceeded configuring irssi & screen
\nsince they probably will not work properly while the
\nconfiguration is not finished.<\/p>\n
Step 1. Connect to the server to run your irssi on<\/p>\n
Step 2. Shut down your irssi<\/p>\n
\/quit<\/pre>\nStep 3. Close the screen you were running it in (if it didn’t already)<\/p>\n
Step 4. Backup your current irssi & screen configuration:<\/p>\n
$ tar czf irssi-backup.tar.gz .irssi .screenr*<\/pre>\nStep 5. If you have a line starting “defencoding” in ~\/.screenrc, remove it<\/p>\n
Step 6. Start screen like you usually do, but add a -U parameter<\/p>\n
$ screen -U<\/pre>\nor perhaps<\/p>\n
$ screen -U -S irc<\/pre>\nThis makes screen understand that irssi talks utf-8 to screen<\/p>\n
Step 7. Configure irssi to talk utf-8 to screen but use iso-8859-15 charset by default for all windows<\/p>\n
Copy-paste the following commands to the irssi console:<\/p>\n
\r\n\/set term_charset utf-8\r\n\/set recode_autodetect_utf8 ON\r\n\/set recode_fallback ISO-8859-15\r\n\/set recode_out_default_charset ISO-8859-15\r\n\/set recode_transliterate ON\r\n\/set recode ON\r\n<\/pre>\nStep 8. Detach screen (typically by pressing ctrl-a d)<\/p>\n
Ta-da! Now you have configured irssi and screen to work properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
