this one is kind of related just that mine does not show the differences when you are in manual mode. But also here there is no error message which is very confusing and made me lose some of my config data. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48184 I believe that the core of this problem is that something with the piping on my system is wrong. I noticed that when I run echo "hallo" | less , nothing happens. man and other programs that use pipes also stoped working. dennis Ok, I singled out the issue to less. I did a emerge -C less && emerge but that did not solve the problem but "echo foo | more" works, while "echo foo | less" has absolutely no output Any sugestions on that? Maybe this is a problem with ncurses. Do other ncurses apps such as nano and screen work okay? So not a portage/etc-update bug. If this is still a bug in less please file a new bug under "Gentoo Linux". |
