Hi, I did something stupid and dumped a binary file to terminal. As a result my /dev/tty1 got completely screwed. I blindly typed "reset" and I got it back ... almost. Next command I typed it just quit the shell and I got the familiar "Sif login: " prompt. I can type in the user name but, as soon as I start typing the password, I get a nice "Login incorrect". I get one of those for *each* char I type, with staircase effect. Of course the terminal wasn't reset completely.
Question is: How can I reset /dev/tty1 from another virtual console (other consoles work ok). I *know* I can fix it "the Windows way" (i.e.: rebooting), but I would like to do it cleanly, if possible (and learn something in the process). If relevant: this machine is running unstable/2.6.16-1-686, it is my router and it has no X installed. TiA Mauro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
