Package: minicom Version: 2.4-3 Severity: normal LANG=en_GB.utf8 Minicom parameters -m -c on -8 -R utf-8
If minicom receives an invalid UTF-8 sequence from the serial port it doesn't display any more of the characters that have been sent. For example (borrowing from bug 413934) if the byte sequence "f8 e2 82 ac c2 a3 0a" is received then no further serial output is displayed. Steps to reproduce: Connect via serial to another Linux box and enter something like this at the shell: printf "\xf8\xe2\x82\xac\xc2\xa3\nFoo bar baz"; ls -lR / Notice that no more output is seen. Exiting from minicom and relaunching is required to see further serial input. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages minicom depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages minicom recommends: ii lrzsz 0.12.21-5 Tools for zmodem/xmodem/ymodem fil minicom suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
