Using LiveCD-pre3 and LFS-SVN I fired up this afternoon to configure the
kernel. For the record, I had successfully completed all through
Chapter 8.2, "Creating the /etc/fstab File." In my last session I had
worked from Chapter 6.56 "Sysklogd" to Chapter 8.2 with no problems. I
think I may have left the chroot environment and re-entered is using the
/usr/bin/env--but I don't remember. I added this last to show that
there were no problems up to but excluding my last session.
I use scripts named "lfschroot.sh" and "devpop.sh" (developed from the
hint for using the LiveCD) to 'chroot' and 'populate dev.' I ran
'$LFS/lfschroot.sh' followed by ./devpop.sh and got the message: "No
such file or directory." To my utter surprise I saw that my command was
'./dvpop.sh.' Tried again--same results.
Thought the problem may have been in X, so went to a terminal and got
the same results. Whether I use:
... /tools/bin/env -i
.....
/tools/bin/bash --login +h
or
... /usr/bin/env -i
....
/bin/bash --login
the results are the same--either in X or in a terminal.
'showkey' gave Keycode 18 for "e" and 'kbd_mode' gave "raw (scancode)"
The REALLY odd thing is that "e" works in vim after I chroot. All I got
from googling, FAQ's and hints was how to fix my delete and backspace
keys. Those work fine. Additionally, if I copy and paste "devpop" from
a "non-chrooted" terminal into a "chrooted" terminal, the result is
"dvpop." info {bash,readline} just tell me that my bindings are OK and
that "e" is sending the right code. I don't know where to go from here.
Since the only languages in which I'm fluent are Latin based, this key
is quite important to me, and I'm too old to learn Welsh or Polish so
that I don't have to use "e" so much. :-)
I will appreciate any guidance or pointers.
Dan
