Sirs I have a new AMD64 box with a strange problem that I hope the more knowledgeable might be able to answer.
This box came preconfigured with debian (testing,etch and sid) along with a chroot partition. From some of the comments on this list, I believe the software was installed by RedHat trained techs, not Debian techs. ie I have no nvidia group and X still works even after a kernel upgrade, with no help from me. Anyway.... The problem is that when root logs in on VT1, and only VT1, the login shows -bash: no control on this shell I didn't notice that message until I found some odd behavior on that console. dpkg -l <program> would spew out a bunch of ==== and then show the last line of the display correctly. Also if I used ^c to kill a program, the keyboard went dead for a few minutes and then logged me out. I googled for the error message but did not find any joy there. I mucked around with everything I could think of in the man pages, again, no joy. I did discover that if I log in and then do a ^c, I get logged out and when I log in again, the VT is normal. So this is not a _huge_ problem but I am bothered that I have not been able to find out what they did, to what, to cause this annoyance, I have been using Debian for a long time and am certain this is not a Debian thing. Thanks for any pointers to what I have missed.
