BASH "command typing" problem
I am running Arch GNU/Linux. sometimes i have problem with BASH on it. whenever i type something a little long it does not go to the end of the terminal, instead the cursor just slips-off to the beginning of the line e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper if i type that line then in 90% of the cases, the line does not go to the end of the terminal, rather when i reach in the middle of the terminal the cursor there slips off to the very-beginning of the terminal - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$]" - and starts to overwrite things there. when i hit "Enter" then command runs fine but i can't see what command i typed in because the typing starts from the beginning automatically. e.g. it looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice compare it with the original command i gave: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper it is because cursor just slipped-off to the beginning and it overwrote the "[arnuld". this does not happen when my login shell is ZSH (which is what i am using at present). what could be the problem... a BASH bug ?

BASH "command typing" problem
i am running Arch Duke. sometimes i have problem with BASH on it. whenever i type something really long it does not go to the end of the screen, instead the cursor just goes off to the beginning of the line e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper if i type that line then in 70% of the cases, the line does not go to the end of the terminal, rather when i reach in the middle of the terminal the cursor there slips off to the very-beginning of the terminal - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$]" - and starts to overwrite things there. when i hit "Enter" then command runs fine but i can't see what command i typed in because the typing starts from the beginning automatically. e.g. it looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper compare the two commands. it is because cursor just slipped-off to the beginning and it overwrote the "[arnuld" this does not happen when my login shell is ZSH. what could be the problem... a BASH bug ? -- -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
BASH completion problem
i use Arch GNU/Linux and BASH is my login shell. i have also installed "bash_completion" package but sometimes BASH tab-completion works and sometimes not. most of the times the BASH tab-completion doe snot work and just throws the frustrating beep on me (form my cabinet). at the same time ZSH has no problems with tab-completion what can be the problem ? this is some output from my terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] $ shopt cdable_vars off cdspell off checkhash off checkwinsizeoff cmdhist on dotglob off execfailoff expand_aliases on extdebugoff extglob on extquoteon failgloboff force_fignore on gnu_errfmt off histappend off histreedit off histverify off hostcompleteoff huponexit off interactive_commentson lithist off login_shell on mailwarnoff no_empty_cmd_completion off nocaseglob off nocasematch off nullgloboff progcompon promptvars on restricted_shelloff shift_verbose off sourcepath on xpg_echooff [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] $ set -o allexport off braceexpand on emacs on errexit off errtraceoff functrace off hashall on histexpand on history on ignoreeof off interactive-commentson keyword off monitor on noclobber off noexec off noglob off nolog off notify off nounset off onecmd off physicaloff pipefailoff posix off privileged off verbose off vi off xtrace off [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] $ [NOTE: i deduce the fact that BASH is my login shell because BASH reads customisations i made from "~/.bash_profile" but not from "~/.bashrc". also i see in "chsh" BASH as my login shell] -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
