Every once in a while, when I start a new xterm, bash will not give me a prompt. This has happened on different machines, and under the last few SuSE distributions. It's a very minor annoyance, but it's so fundamental to the very concept of Linux/Unix (http://www.unix.org/) that it needs to be addressed. Have other's noticed this?
I observed this, indeed, but it was many years ago. I never understood the origin of the problem, and it apparently vanished all by itself
:-). Everything has been working perfectly for me, in this area, for a
long time now. I have no clue about what the problem could have been...
Many distros ago the same thing, so I switched to gnome-terminal and I exclusively use konsole, both of which do tabs as opposed to messy multiple xterm windows, about time it was pensioned off. Just remembered, xterm is not installed in Mandriva by default. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
