Hi all,

since at least 2 weeks I have a strange problem on one of my servers. CTRL-C is not working on the shell. I couldn't test local but the problem exists via SSH and I also tested via telnet.

Every other CTRL-Key-Combination I tried is still working (e.g. CTRL-D, CTRL-Z).

I checked what I have emerged in the last weeks:

Another strange thing is that I can't quit from screen anymore. Screens hangs after CTRL-D. When this happens I can see ^C chars in the shell, so the key code itself seems to go through.

I installed zsh and in zsh CTRL-C is working, but bash is broken (I already re-emerged bash and readline).

Does anyone have an idea? Do you need some more information?

Greets,

Matthias

EDIT: ksh is also working, but emerging gettext hangs on "checking for working sleep..." (if I kill the conftest process, it continues). So there seems to be a little more broken.

Matthias ... within and without screen what is the interupt key?

Code:
$ awk -F";" '/intr/{print $1}' <(stty -a)

Also, what TERM is set, again, both within and without screen.

It might also be worth providing 'emerge --info'.

The fact that zsh and ksh work suggests its not a deeper issue, the above may not be related ... btw, zsh doesn't use readline.

Hi,

without screen:
Code:
maz@server ~ $ awk -F";" '/intr/{print $1}' <(stty -a)
intr = ^C
maz@server ~ $ echo $TERM
xterm


In screen only TERM changes to screen. But in screen CTRL-C is also non-working. The same settings are set in ksh/zsh where is is working.

And emerge --info:

Code:
maz@server ~ $ emerge --info

I tried to downgrade glibc but without success, that's why it's not the current version in emerge --info.

Mathias ... as I said, zsh doesn't use readline (not sure about ksh, but it likely doesn't either ... at least there is no dependency on it). The fact that this is hardened makes it more difficult for me to debug, as I'm fairly unfamilar with it, nor how various components (and useflags) interact. So, I'm not sure what to suggest, or where you might look (other than perhaps your logs).

I'd say it's related to the bash-completion bug, but you don't have that use flag enabled. May be the same root cause though.

Ant ... I was thinking the same after reading your post, and re-reading that thread.

@matthias ... you might try 'bash --noprofile' to disable the reading of /etc/profile and so test if anything set there, including profile.d/*.sh, are effecting tty.

Thanks khay and ant for your answers.

bash --noprofile doesn't make a change.

EDIT: OK, another strange thing that seems related: I can't kill e.g. watch using normal SIGTERM, I have to send SIGKILL. It seems like the SIGTERM is somehow broken? Maybe I need a restart...

What is the output of cat /proc/PID/status where PID is a process that survives a signal that should have killed it?

Your watch has many signals blocked that should not be blocked. From the low end, you have SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGUSR1 blocked. I suggest you examine the status of the parent of watch to see if it has those signals blocked. If yes, examine the parent of that process. Repeat until you find the eldest process in the tree with those signals blocked, then show us the /proc/PID/status for that process.

Thank you Hu for pointing me to the correct direction!

SSHD was the evil process with the signal block mask.

I tried to start a second SSHD (from the ssh-session) with another Port which was attached to the init-process but still has the same signal mask. I then startet the second SSHD using a cronjob, because the crond has a correct signal mask. This sshd was working as expected. I could then restart the first sshd from the second one and had a working sshd again.

Thanks again all of you for your fast help!

Greetings,

Matthias
