** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal (I checked for bugs filed on gnome-terminal in Launchpad that might match this but couldn't find any. Sorry if it's a dupe.) While using gnome-terminal today I was surprised when what was once in my terminal buffer was replaced with the contents of another terminal (which based on my hazy recollection had already been closed). The end result looked like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dev/manage$ cd app - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dev/manage/app$ fgrep -r valid_order_number * | grep -v svn | less + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dev/manage/app$ fgrep -r <STRINGOMITTED> * | grep -v svn | less [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man -k uid DBI::DBD (3pm) - Perl DBI Database Driver Writer's Guide fdutilsconfig (8) - configure the suid bit of fdmount findfs (8) - Find a filesystem by label or UUID geteuid (2) - get user identity getpwuid (3) - get password file entry getpwuid_r (3) - get password file entry getresuid (2) - get real, effective and saved user or group ID getuid (2) - get user identity LDP (7) - Intro to the Linux Documentation Project, with help, guides and documents mdoc (7) - quick reference guide for the -mdoc macro package rrd-beginners (1) - RRDtool Beginners' Guide seteuid (2) - set effective user or group ID setfsuid (2) - set user identity used for file system checks setresuid (2) - set real, effective and saved user or group ID setreuid (2) - set real and/or effective user or group ID setuid (2) - set user identity Template::Manual (3pm) - User guide and reference manual for the Template Toolkit update-rcconf-guide (8) - Create default guide file for rcconf uuid (3) - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library uuid_clear (3) - reset value of UUID variable to the NULL value uuid_compare (3) - compare whether two UUIDs are the same uuid_copy (3) - copy a UUID value uuid_generate (3) - create a new unique UUID value uuid_generate_random (3) - create a new unique UUID value uuid_generate_time (3) - create a new unique UUID value uuid_is_null (3) - compare the value of the UUID to the NULL value uuid_parse (3) - convert an input UUID string into binary representation uuid_time (3) - extract the time at which the UUID was created uuid_unparse (3) - convert an UUID from binary representation to a string uuidgen (1) - command-line utility to create a new UUID value vol_id (8) - probe filesystem type and read label and uuid [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ history|tail 494 vi <somefile> 495 mprodb 496 finger 497 ssh <hostomitted> 498 ssh <hostomitted> 499 ssh -vvv <hostomitted> 500 ssh <hostomitted> 501 man geteuid 502 man -k uid 503 history|tail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Note that the following commands at the top of the paste aren't in the output of 'history|tail': [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dev/manage$ cd app [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dev/manage/app$ fgrep -r <STRINGOMITTED> * | grep -v svn | less For the combination of history output and terminal buffer output to make sense, command 501 should have been 'fgrep -r <STRINGOMITTED> * | grep -v svn | less' and command 500 should have been 'cd app'. Before the change in the buffer, the line: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man -k uid originally was preceded by the line: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man geteuid On the remote system, this command normally leaves the following output in my buffer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man geteuid Reformatting geteuid(2), please wait... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ The version of man on the remote system uses less as its pager by default, I think. If it's important to verify that, I will. (Just let me know how to verify it.) When in the pager, hitting 'q' causes the TTY to redraw. I suspect the redraw event itself brought about the problem. Running man or less on the remote host over and over doesn't reproduce the problem. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 Friday morning (California time) and this is the second time this has happened. I didn't believe my eyes the first time it happened, but the second time around I wasn't able to dismiss it as a glitch in the Matrix. Local system info: The local system running gnome-terminal is a Thinkpad X60s with Ubuntu 8.04. Was originally Gutsy Gibbon. I used the update manager's dist upgrade feature to migrate to 8.04. - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -rd + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04 Release: 8.04 - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-terminal + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-terminal gnome-terminal: Installed: 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://ftp.usf.edu hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a - Linux phoenix 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ free + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a + Linux local 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2066500 1843820 222680 0 204392 893308 -/+ buffers/cache: 746120 1320380 Swap: 3229024 0 3229024 - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uptime + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uptime 23:33:07 up 1 day, 20:20, 5 users, load average: 0.21, 0.26, 0.16 - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps auxw|grep gnome-terminal + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps auxw|grep gnome-terminal chase 22651 0.0 2.0 122856 41920 ?
