Package: bash Version: GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) Followup-For: Bug #443984
Hello everyone, the standard user cannot type the letter "s" in bash anymore. Typing "s" in all other programmes works fine. The root account is not affected. The console and all terminals are effeced. Strangely one cannot mark/copy or paste the letter, too. Actually it's the key and not the letter as it is impossible to type the cyrillic letter "ы" as well. The bug seems to be independet to locale settings (locales LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 and LC_ALL=C). Please investigate this major bug as soon as possible. Imagine your live without bash! (Well, I'm yet lucky to have openSuse as fallback system.) Workaround: use ksh as substitute for bash start vim and invoke su from within vim apt-get install ksh usermod -s /bin/ksh root usermod -s /bin/ksh <user> dpkg -r --force-all bash # !!! beware !!! ln -s /bin/ksh /bin/sh sh # test spawn of ksh exit twice and log in again See also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144796 http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10808.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg717504.html -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
