Tips

Serial console wrapping

The remote serial console has no knowledge of your local console. This means that it will wrap with safe defaults.

You can configure the columns/rows of your serial console using stty.

In a console sized like yours, e.g. a new tab or tmux window:

$ echo "stty rows $(tput lines) cols $(tput cols)"

This will give you the exact invocation for your current terminal size.

In case tmux is used an alternative is to add the following snippet to the tmux.conf

 bind R run "echo \"stty columns $(tmux display -p \#{pane_width}); stty rows $(tmux display -p \#{pane_height})\" | tmux load-buffer - ; tmux paste-buffer"

In this case fixing the terminal size can be achieved by pressing R.
