Description of problem: Ctrl-C does not work in terminator. It does work in gnome-terminal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): terminator-0.97-3.fc20.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start terminator 2. Type something 3. Press ctrl-C Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: Display ^C and show the command prompt again Additional info:
Additional info: If I run a ping command in terminator, I can use Ctrl-C to stop it. But when inputting a command, Ctrl-C does nothing.
Could you specify the commands you are running? This would help reproducing the issue first.
It doesn't depend on what I am typing. I just type anything, and instead of pressing enter, I press ctrl-C. I then expect my input to be cancelled, and to get a new command prompt. But nothing happens instead, the cursor just stays where it is.
As a workaround, I can press Ctrl-U.
I have some more info. As said before, if you run ping 8.8.8.8 you can break it using ctrl-C. But if you do tail -f tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log you only can stop it using a kill command.
Sorry for the typo. I meant tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
Not sure if it helps but with terminator-0.97-2.fc19.noarch it seems to be working. root # tail -f /var/log/yum.log Dec 24 20:42:09 Installed: SDL-devel-1.2.15-12.fc19.x86_64 Dec 24 20:42:09 Installed: SDL_gfx-2.0.22-4.fc19.x86_64 Dec 24 20:42:10 Installed: SDL_gfx-devel-2.0.22-4.fc19.x86_64 Dec 24 20:42:10 Installed: SDL_image-devel-1.2.12-6.fc19.x86_64 Dec 24 20:42:11 Installed: SDL_ttf-devel-2.0.11-3.fc19.x86_64 Dec 24 20:42:11 Installed: SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.12-4.fc19.x86_64 Dec 24 21:07:40 Installed: acpi-1.7-1.fc19.x86_64 Dec 24 23:09:02 Installed: python-paramiko-1.10.1-1.fc19.noarch Dec 24 23:09:06 Installed: bzr-2.5.1-13.fc19.x86_64 Dec 28 15:08:14 Installed: dos2unix-6.0.3-2.fc19.x86_64 ^C root #
Or maybe I got it wrong. Are you talking about this behavior? Either this one works for me. root # tail -f /var/log/yum.log^C root #
None of those work for me. (terminator-0.97-3.fc20.noarch)
I have the same behaviour is also with: gnome-terminal-3.10.2-1.fc20.x86_64 xfce4-terminal-0.6.2-3.fc20.x86_64 xterm-297-1.fc20.x86_64 In plain text consoles it is working fine. (In Fedora 19 CTRL-C has been working. The problem is there after upgrading to Fedora 20.)
I found this in the forum: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1677258 I guess the problem is caused by the proprietary nVidia driver. (Which I have to use because of fedora bug #754882)
This bug is probably a duplicate of bug #1028272.
I am not sure what happened, but the problem doesn't occur any more since I did a yum update on feb 04. Some nvidia-related packages got updated, maybe that fixed the issue. @František Dvořák, do you still have the problem?
Yes, I can confirm, the problem vanished in all other terminals. In the update fixing it were nvidia related packages (331.38-1), glibc-2.18-12, and some other packages.
Running yum update solved the problem for me too. Now Ctrl+C works in Gnome termimal (3.10.2). I'm on Fedora 20.
I think I can close this bug again.
