I'm running mandrake 8 on an older motherboard with a pentium mmx
200mhz and 98 MB of memory.After I upgraded to a generic 2.4.9 kernel I
found that if I attempted to use less as a normal user,with a filename as
input,the only output I receive is ESC[14;30] and Lines 1-1/1(END).If the
input is a pipe it works ok.If I log on as root,either from a login screen or su -
l, it works ok.If I use su only it does not work.If the file is a compressed one I
I get alternating blocks of gibberish and ok listing.The only difference in the
enviro settings (from env) is the inclusion of sbin in root's path.I downloaded
the source for less & compiled it and get exactly the same response.Does
anybody have any suggestions as to where I should be looking,or what i
should be looking for.The profile and bashrc files only differ in the umask
settings and in sbin in roots path.I get this behaviour from the command line
and from a terminal in X.
