"Wuff --- Wuff" is the vbell message; to disable it, put "vbell off" in your ~/.screenrc.
The broken backspace thing... hit the backspace key a few times while running "cat" within screen for clues to its source. A common cause is a broken terminfo description (usually on xterm-color, I think), that erroneously describes ^? as the DEL key, rather than backspace. If that's the case, then cat will show sequences like "^[[3~"; a "termcapinfo <your-term> bs=^?:kD=^[[3~" in your .screenrc may fix the problem. On some setups, you may see ^@ for backspace when running cat. In that case, your terminal configuration needs to be adjusted. Find some setting related to "automatically detect backspace character", and set it explicitly to ^?. -- A subset of input keys temporarily stop working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
