I think you need to develop better google-fu (i.e. skills in framing the search) - other engines such as duck duck go are available, but for me they still provide far fewer answers. Gurgling 'cannot drop the controlling terminal' got me several lfs-related matches: https://lfs-support.linuxfromscratch.narkive.com/sZIeWLZk/chroot-problem old, but it suggests that perhaps one of the filesystems (/dev/ proc, /sys and perhaps nowadays /dev/pts and /run) was not mounted. On that occasion, Bruce's reply to "can I move on with this error in the system" was 'yes'. There was a similar question in April last year (at that time the build was VERY different from what is in 10.0) and I noticed that libncursesw.so was not found (which should have been correct in that version of the book, since it was in /tools) : https://www.mail-archive.com/lfs-support@lists.linuxfromscratch.org/msg06680.html Sounds familiar, but maybe pure chance. See the thread details, but that (apparently carried over from a previous problem) was never solved. That's the other thing you need to understand: there are few people here and you will not necessarily get any reply to a problem (at the moment the editors are all involved in other things as we approach getting ready for our next release). However, a report at linuxquestions https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/su-cannot-drop-the-controlling-terminal-6-25-gcc-4175671731/ found someone building LFS in October last year from a fedora host on aarch64 (64-bit ARM) who had to use 'su tester -s /bin/bash' to run the command. Perhaps that might be relevant to your problem. If it is, what host distro are you using ? My matches also found a much older problem raised by Andy Benton (same error message, but not related to this since you must be using su from coreutils at this stage). He is still much missed, thank you for reminding me of his contributions (and his help to me) over the years. ĸen -- Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot".
