Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vim
Affects:
Default installs of feisty Desktop AMD64, feisty desktop i386, and possibly
edgy desktop versions as well.
The AMD64/i386 Live CD's for feisty, and possibly edgy Live CD's as well.
Symptoms:
the vi command line editor seems to be partially installed.
You can run the vi command, for example:
vi myfile.txt
However, the editor refuses to accept normal commands, does not display the
commands to the editor itself (example: :q!), does not display the --Insert--
dialog at bottom left of the screen, and when using arrow keys to navigate it
outputs the keypresses and carriage returns in the file itself.
Fix:
This problem is fixed simply by installing the correct package:
sudo apt-get install vim
Possible permanent solutions:
(1) Have the vim package fully installed on the Live CD , and fully installed
on default install.
(2) Completely remove vi functionality if it was never intended to be included
on the Live CD (not a good idea, especially if Live CD X server crashes and
user needs to access files from the command line)
** Affects: vim (Ubuntu)
