Hi everybody have I got a fun issue to tell you all...I am in the process of building my LFS-9.0 system and have made it all the way to the point where you make final system configurations such as locale, creating files such as /etc/profile, etc. After setting up the /etc/fstab file, I decided I would install the dependencies needed to boot GRUB with UEFI (by following the hint on the site), which I have previously done before with no issues. I am currently running into an issue where I cannot install `efivars-37` due to GCC 9.2.0 throwing warnings during the make process that get treated as errors. However, during my investigation into that issue I discovered a far more troubling and confusing issue. For some unknown reason, my LFS chroot environment is under the impression that JUST the uppercase letter 'M' (not a lowercase 'm') does not exist whatsoever. Attempts to type it into the terminal via SHIFT + M leads to nothing being inputted on the screen. Furthermore, it also erases the 'M' from a line of text when copy+pasted into the terminal. For example, as I normally copy and paste commands straight from the book when installing the packages, the following block of text: sed -i '/INSTALL_LIBS/s/libcrypto.a libssl.a//' Makefile && make MANSUFFIX=ssl install will instead be pasted into the terminal as so: sed -i '/INSTALL_LIBS/s/libcrypto.a libssl.a//' akefile && make ANSUFFIX=ssl install This is NOT an issue with the local system as well because as soon as I exit the chroot environment, I can type an uppercase 'M' all day 100 times over. For the life of me, I have not the slightest idea what the problem here could be. I have no trouble typing all 26 letters of the alphabet in lowercase, and I can type all 26 letters in their uppercase forms as well EXCEPT for 'M'.

Thanks in advance, and if you actually know how to fix this problem, you are a wizard. Jared Stevens
Does 'M' result when you type ALT+077 at the terminal? (Hold Alt and press 0 then 7 then 7)
Please paste your exact inputrc and bashrc There may be some error somewhere redefining M with some weird typo.
I've had B not work right because of an issue like that.
