Dear List, I have recently installed opensuse 11.3 with kde on a new-built system. Somehow my terminal settings got messed up. When I type a command in xterm there appears a little white box at the bottom with the characters as they are typed.rather than after the command prompt. I'd rather see the characters in the actual xterm window than in the box. When I try to use tab completion it does not follow expected behavior, i.e., it does not complete what it should but rather gives me a list of possible completions none of which contain what I want. For example, I occasionally use acroread. Rather than type the whole command I used to be able to type "acr" and use tab completion to finish the command. If I typed "ac" nothing would happen because there would be some other command starting with the same letters. Now in the console, when I type "acr" and try to use tab completion I get the following choices from the console, none of which contains "acroread" : 1. AC 2. ace 3. acer 4. ACL 5. ACM 6. acre 7. ACS 8. act 9. air 0. Apr AR arc. If I do the same from whithin an xterm window I get the completion "acre" Needless to say, this behavior drives me nuts. How can I get the old behavior back? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Alex. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
