I think the problem isn't on the monitor. The problem is that the output is not everytime the same. And I can't understand what is the logic for yum to choose what is the line size. If I send output to a file, the row size is everytime 80 char, but this is not a good choise. I found this on the output.py def _term_width(): """ Simple terminal width, limit to 20 chars. and make 0 == 80. """ if not hasattr(urlgrabber.progress, 'terminal_width_cached'): return 80 ret = urlgrabber.progress.terminal_width_cached() if ret == 0: return 80 if ret < 20: return 20 return ret I can't imagine why the limit should be set to 20 or to 80. I don't know how to change it, but I think that if output is sent to nonterminal devices, (like files or pipe for examples), the row limit as to be set to infinite. I will try to tell to yum developer.
