SUMMARY: console unusable and break-doesnt-halt problem
2007-12-25 3:21:00
Paul suggested crtl-j (and crtl-q to fix andy crtl-s), which is what I
needed as my returns where just appearing as crtl-m on the command line. So
I did, in semi-darkness, after a few crtl-j, followed by:
/usr/bin/stty sane crtl-j
/usr/ucb/reset crtl-j
which got me something working (so I tried it a few more times), but it
seemed that the locale was funny. Logging out and in didnt fix it so I did
a quick reboot. Console fixed - we will call that 4 points to Jim.
How to return the system such that a break from the console does a halt is
still open but not urgent - Ill send another summary if people answer this
one before I find it myself.
Thanks again
