The root shell will start up fine, but after the first time I hit a key, the shell terminates - apparently normally. A sample try looks like this (I begin to type "emerge", with little success): tim@wozniak ~ $ sudo su wozniak tim # eexit tim@wozniak ~ $ This occurs no matter how long I wait before hitting a key. Using 'su' without the preceding 'sudo' will let me into a normal root shell without the problem occurring. The problem also occurs only in Konsole, not at a tty. I should mention, based on this, that I'm running KDE4. How might I go about fixing this? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
