Xen users - Feb 2006 - Ctrl+C does not work in virtual console

Hi all,

I have a problem with the virtual console. I run Xen 3.0.1 (compiled 
from the sources) on debian 3.1 (as dom0 and domU) on an AMD Athlon 64.

I can''t terminate programs with ctrl+c. If I try for example to ping a 
machine, ping runs forever and cannot be stopped from the console. 
ctrl+z does then not work either. But if I do the same with ssh, 
everything works fine. There are more commands which cannot be 
controlled with ctrl+c and ctrl+z, like lynx and ''more''.

What confuses me, is that for example I can exit emacs using "ctrl+x 
ctrl+c" without problems (in the virtual console). If I run ping in a 
shell in emacs, I can stop the process pressing ctrl+c twice (as 
expected). Emacs also is put in background if I press ctrl+z.

When you type something on the shell (without enter) and press ctrl+c, 
usually the line is aborted and a new empty one is started. In my 
virtual console this is not the case.

I hope someone of you can give me a hint what causes this strange 
behavior. It''s impossible to work with the virtual console, because if 
one tries to check network connections, the session is over.

Immanuel

Please search the list for this. This has been discussed a lot, some
weeks ago, it seems to be only a Debian (3.1?) console configuration
Problem. In the list you''ll find some workarounds, but I can''t
remeber
of a real solution, and the _real_ cause.

Following change in /etc/inittab in my domU solved the problem:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 console

to

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
