Clear needs root access
Bit of a newbie here, but couldn't find this problem anywhere on the forums.
Running Ubuntu 18.04, default terminal.
Upon entering the clear command, terminal returned
terminals database is inaccessible
Only help I found online was to check the TERM environment variable which was set to xterm-256color
However, I tried sudo clear and this seems to work. Don't understand what's happening. Any fix suggestions would be appreciated.
command-line 18.04 xterm

Try installing the italic terminfo:
tic resources/xterm-256color-italic.terminfo
tic resources/tmux-256color-italic.terminfo
Source: terminals database is inaccessible #33
See also: clear command - terminals database is inaccessible
See also: “clear” command in GNOME terminal returns “terminals database is inaccessible”
