-----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces@centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Robert Thompson Sent: Tuesday, 10 July 2007 5:06 a.m. To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] Loss of Prompt & Cursor
When I log into a virtual console as ordinary user, I initially have a prompt & cursor. After I print 24 lines or more, the last visible (24th) line will be data instead of the prompt & cursor. The up arrow no longer gives the previous commands. A clear command will restore the prompt & cursor.
This bug first appeared after I installed CentOS5. I do not believe it is a CentOS5 bug however because when I boot Ubuntu from a LivePC CDROM, the same thing happens.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance - Bob T.
Use the "size/position" controls of your monitor to shrink and reposition the displayed image (or your monitor may have an auto-adjust feature which can be invoked). My guess is that the 25th line is being displayed, with prompt and cursor etc, but is off the bottom of visible screen area.
