I'm connecting to a remote server through SSH Manjaro machine with urxvt to a LXD container, which is running Centos 7. But for some odd reasean I cannot run htop.....
I'm getting the following error

[someuser@Proxy ~]$ htop
Error opening terminal: xterm-256-color.

I'm pretty sure it is a terminal issue. I just don't know how to fix it.

    I think your correct! I found the answer which is to add `export TERM=xterm` in `.bashrc`. But due to the rules I can't add the answer so quickly – Daniel Guldberg Aaes Feb 23 '17 at 20:33

Your TERM variable has a wrong value for htop.

According to this answer you have to set TERM correctly:

export TERM=xterm-color

or

export TERM=xterm

You can put this in .bashrc of the SSHD server user.

Probably is missing the $DISPLAY environment variable or your connection through ssh-server don't allow ForwardX11, please review this parameter in the sshd.conf of your remote server.

The parameter ForwardX11 must be yes
