^A and ^E are emacs(1) bindings. It appears you have vi(1) bindings turned on
Ubuntu.
To turn emacs bindings on, at the command line, type:
set -o emacs
The clean solution is to find where exactly in /etc or your defauls dot-files
(.profile, .bashrc, .cshrc, .tcshrc, .zshrc or .kshrc) this is configured in,
and change it.
To do that, the following commands will help you hunt it down (as root):
find /etc -depth -type f -print | xargs grep "\-o vi" | cut -d':' -f1 | sort -u
find "$HOME" -depth -mount -local -type f -name ".*" -print | xargs grep "\-o
vi" | cut -d':' -f1 | sort -u
> This is clearly to me a "barrier" for people to use solaris
This does not appear to be a SunOS (Solaris) problem at all. It seems that
Ubuntu ships with less-than-optimal terminal settings.
