Hi,

I'm quite desperate, and other sources on the net don't seem to help. The problem is that ^C doesn't work in bash, and it certainly did work. If I start typing a command and press ^C, nothing happens. I tried running

Code: Select all

 bash -c 'while true; do /bin/true; done'

and I pressed ^C, but nothing happened. Pressing ^Z does work. Here are some things I tried:

I tried running bash in an xterm and in a konsole window (I'm using KDE), and both display the same problem.
^C works in tcsh (though it doesn't print ^C when pressed).
I tried erasing my .bashrc file, and it still doesn't work.
I tried ^C in bash in framebuffer, and ^C does work, leading me to suspect KDE.
I checked KDE keyboard shortcuts, and ^C does not seem to appear there.

Any help would be much appreciated - I going crazy here!

Read the forum rather than going crazy!

Thanks aCOSwt! I guess I wasn't thorough enough searching the gentoo forums.
