How can I view more of my history in Screen on Linux?
Problem
I was running scripts overnight from the command line (inside Screen on a Linux EC2 instance) and some errors that I was not tracking occurred. I want to "scroll up" or view more of the history in Screen, but I cannot seem to find any commands that will work. I need to see the onscreen output "further up" than I can on my current screen. CTRL + a is supposed to put me into scroll mode inside Screen, but it's not working.

Fix for: How can I view more of my history in Screen on Linux?
Assuming you haven't overriden your escape sequence, you can press to go into scrollback mode, then use the usual Page-UP/Page-DOWN or Ctrl-b/Ctrl-f to go up and down. From the Gentoo wiki on Screen usage
