When I run some task using screen there was some error. I want to see the details but can only roll back one page, the previous ones are all black. Is there any way to see the previous lines?

You can configure the scrollback buffer for
screenin your.screenrcfile:Will allow 5000 lines to be scrolled.
Also, during startup, you can use
-h 5000to specify the buffer for the currentscreensession:This method is useful for overriding your default setting for a single use (who quits screen?! =P).
