Dear all
Well, Sympa doesn't like submissions via the gmane interface now,
either, so I have had to actually subscribe. See how long a new
subscription lasts?
I have just upgraded my machine to 2006, and as I have to use MYOB to
manage my accounts I have had to go about setting up win4lin. After
much trauma I have managed to build a 2.6.14 kernel with the win4lin
patch, and the netraverse installer recognises it (sighs of relief).
Oddly, when I log in to KDE (3.4) I can open a shell window, but there
is no prompt visible and it will not accept keyboard input. Likewise if
I try to run MCC from the menu, "su" doesn't work.
I can run the System Monitor and kdesud is shown running, together with
various sh- processes
I am not a CLI freak, but it comes in very handy for many tasks in
Linux. I know about Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc, but some things especially in
Win4lin need X access, and the only other alternative I have come up
with is a KDE root logon.
Any help to recover my shell access, please?
Russell
have you considered creating a new user to see if that user has a shell?
