Oh! I apparently missed a line in the Screenlog when I was looking before. In the Screenlog that ubuntu-bug gathered up, right after the last of jed's stuff, there's a === Command terminated with signal 2 (Thu Jul 17 15:29:19 2014) ===
(at the very end, before the two restart attempts) Which presumably came from the ^c as part of ^x ^c to exit jed. That was my other theory on what had happened. And that would explain how the trusty script got daemonized: its parent exitted, so it became a child of init, and no longer got sighup when my gnome-terminal died. The "mainlog.txt" is useless, it's from the 2nd attempt to restart. If you want it, I can upload the files from /var/log/dist-upgrade/20140717-1529/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 191K Jul 17 14:25 apt.log -rw-r----- 1 root adm 945K Jul 17 15:46 apt-term.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141K Jul 17 14:33 history.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53K Jul 17 14:32 main.log But your best bet is to try using ^c while in the shell spawned from an "examine the situation" conf files prompt, or an editor from that. (as I said, I used jed, in case it does something to the terminal that's slightly different from what emacs or vim would do). If that produces similar results, there's your culprit. I'm not sure where would be the best place to try to fix it, if that's the case. Maybe some kind of terminal settings? But how to do that without turning off ctrl interrupts ALL the time, not just when there's fullscreen text program running from a subshell. ** Summary changed: - weird problem running an editor inside do-release-upgrade's screen session + ^x ^c while running an editor inside do-release-upgrade's screen session disconnects part of the session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1343737 Title: ^x ^c while running an editor inside do-release-upgrade's screen session disconnects part of the session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1343737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
