I was getting an error message ('color_xterm': unknown terminal type.) when trying to do, well virtually anything. This was because of shell stuff. Typing:

export TERM=vt100

solves it. I have been told that I can add this to some kind of shell profile script so I don't have to type this every time I log in.
