I have no idea what slime is (a green jelly from childhood?) and what
it needs.
Since GNU Emacs reports "Terminal type dumb" it obviously has not
read the TERM environment variable. Or some ELisp code resets it to
the dumb value.
(getenv "TERM")
in *scratch* buffer when evaluated (for example by C-j at the
statement's end) should write (echo, copy) into the buffer the value
of TERM from the environment GNU Emacs saw when it was launched from
it. You can try to cheat GNU Emacs with
(setenv "TERM" "xterm")
applied in *scratch* buffer or from ~/.emacs.
