[gentoo-user] Terminals not closing after exit anymore
Greetings, I've got a strange behaviour since a couple of weeks. When working under X11 in a terminal and I type exit in the shell, the terminal does not close itself anymore. Already changed the shell - no change at all. Also does Ctrl+Z not work anymore, to bring the process running in the foreground into the background. When trying Ctrl+Z on the text console it is the same. Since I am somewhat confused about that kind of behaviour and where to fix it - any ideas to get it back working properly? Thanks in advance.

Hi, check wether the problem is related to the shell/terminal or to keyboard related things: In a terminal type cat return Then press a couple of CTRL/something keys except ^D. If you can see -- for example -- ^E when pressing CTRL-E, then the control codes are received by the shell/terminal, therefore keyboard related things are not to blame. If so check the shell init files for remapping the keycodes. Maybe revdep rebuild will show a library, which is used by the shell was updated but the shell was not rebuild. Or something like that. Only a shot in the dark... Good luck! Best regards, mcc

Ok, looking after that, thanks for the input.

Also, before I finalized the grub2 install I tested the initramfs with grub legacy and it worked. There were two new issues I addressed in this recent portage sync. One was the use of a initramfs because my / and /usr are not in the same filesystem. /usr is actually under lvm control. I created a initramfs with genkernel (--lvm option) and as I stated earlier it worked with grub legacy. So the problem is grub2 configuration at this point. Thanks for any help including info on how to go back to grub legacy if necessary. Best, -- Valmor

Attach grub.cfg here and your /boot directory listing. Also the boot messages. If you want to get GRUB 0.97 back, it should be simple: 1. Boot into systemrescuecd 2. Chroot into you Gentoo (see the handbook) 3. emerge -C grub 4. emerge grub:0 5. Run grub-install
