Hello! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
More and more of my Gentoo systems are exhibiting the following |
| 4 |
strange and unexpected behavior: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
After ctrl+c'ing out of programs like tailf, SSH password prompts, in |
| 7 |
the middle of a shell scripts, the shell echo is not restored - that |
| 8 |
is: If I type characters I no longer see the characters (but they are |
| 9 |
received and can be executed by "enter"). If experiencing this, I have |
| 10 |
to ctrl+c again to discard what I was typing, the blindly type "reset" |
| 11 |
to reset the terminal, then echo is enabled again. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I'm not sure which update or configuration is causing this. It started |
| 14 |
out on our Gentoo servers some years ago (which I'm only SSH'ed into, |
| 15 |
no physical access), now since a few weeks, also my desktop machines are |
| 16 |
affected. I have no explanation for this. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
But maybe anyone? |

BTW: I know from the old times (some 15-20 years ago) that ctrl+c out |
| 21 |
of a program (i.e. rsync) that starts a subshell (i.e. ssh) that in |
| 22 |
turn shows a password prompt, will leave you with an echoless shell. |
| 23 |
But it shows up on almost any occasion now. |
