Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dosemu
On Ubuntu 10.04 and also 10.10 (beta) entering “dosemu -s” on the console crashes the entire system. The “-s” causes dosemu to run in superuser mode and thus gives you access to running graphical DOS applications like DOSSHELL and print-preview mode in WordPerfect 5.1. The text on the console turns blue briefly but not long enough to see what it says. Then the screen goes blank. None of the usual key combinations (Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Alt+F7, etc) seem to have any effect. The system is unresponsive. Only solution seems to be a hard shutdown (power off) and restart. Daren. PS: this worked on Ubuntu 9.10 ** Affects: dosemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "dosemu -s" crashes system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/631834 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
