From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jim Choate To: <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Cc: In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: [9fans] Update on cat v cp & /dev/screen Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 08:23:28 -0500 Topicbox-Message-UUID: 62261434-eacc-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 I have recreated the problem by allowing a drawterm connection to stay open for just over half a day (I can't say exactly because I didn't note the start time of last reboot yesterday). Also, it appears that if you do the command from drawterm before you do it from a local cli the local cli will then fail on subsequent commands. I am using a basic image from June 18 that was last pulled about 3 weeks ago. The system went through a complete rebuild at that time. I see several potential paths of cause: - hardware - bad os build somehow unique to this combination - an actual bug in P9 - something about the combo of drawterm and SuSE 8.0 Once I've completed the curent phase of work I'm in I will be able to reload the box in toto and re-test. It will be interesting to see if the middle mouse button will work in drawterm on a reload as well with respect to this SuSE 8.0 load. In addition the plan is to update this machine to SuSE 8.2 in the next week or so. -- -- God exists because mathematics is consistent, and the Devil exist because we can't prove it. Andre Weil, in H.
