I run a console window through my PuTTY session.

That console windows has a column width of 140.

When I start the screen session, the console shrinks to 80 columns.

I do not see this behavior on CentOS 5, only on CentOS 6.

Does anybody know what has to be tweaked?


Question: Google chrome and chromium black window
Answer: RHEL/CentOS 6 is not supported by Chrome since v28. It could be all sorts of problems.

You could try alternative install scripts, like the one from

to be sure everything is in place, but on the long run I don't think you will get happier.
