From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586) Description of problem: Sometimes when i log on from a console i get this error message: Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device). Thus no job control in this shell. If i get such a crippled shell, i can't use several functions like command history and command completion. So far i couldn't reproduce this bug with the bash shell, but i'm not completely sure if tcsh is the real source of this bug. How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. log out 2. try to log in from a virtual console Additional info:
The bug seems to be fixed by upgrading a few packages to the newest rawhide. (filesystem, glibc, etc). I don't know which one caused the bug, but it seems to be fixed. At least it isn't a bug in tcsh.
The problem reappeared when i upgraded to bash-2.05-10! Last known good version was bash-2.05-9.
Not reproducable on 7.3 and rawhide
