Hi Steven, Could you please attach a /var/log/Xorg.0.log that causes the problem? I wonder if it is the content of the file, control characters for instance, that is causing the issue. Thanks, James -- 'more' command has incorrect output https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279278 You received

The 50~ or so lines are actually about 133% of my vertical space, so I have to shift-page up to see them. I believe that more is corrupt on the isos. I notice bad characters in the man page also. ** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- 'more' command has

I usually have alias more='less -R' but at any rate /bin/more /var/log/Xorg.0.log currently gives me nearly 30 pages of xorg log, so no repro on my box. I'm using the latest version of intrepid. What does alias more say on your machine? -- 'more' command has incorrect output

Hi Steven, So the symptom is that it isn't paging, and then truncating the output? Is it only that one file that you can see it with? Which man page do you refer to? Thanks, James -- 'more' command has incorrect output https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279278 You received this bug

[Bug 279278] Re: 'more' command has incorrect output

Ok I just tested some more, it doesn't happen from gnome-terminal. It only happens in my VT when I ctrl-alt-f1 and go from there. Are you guys able to try that? Also more from the terminal doesn't page at all. It works exactly as expected from X. 'alias more' returns 'not found' -- 'more'

[Bug 279278] Re: 'more' command has incorrect output

I tried it in VT now and more works for me in VT as well. And as for man more there is no garbage chars in there for me, it looks fine as far as I can see. Maybe you should try sudo apt-get install --reinstall util-linux and maybe also run some HDD disk damage checking tool just to rule that out.
