Bashrc error and wrong keyboard layout by accident?

RaynoVox · 03-13-2015, 11:33 PM

Hello all!

I have made it through the LFS book and have made a bootable system and have installed lynx and all kinds of other cool stuff, it is working great and I am ecstatic!

I am having two small issues that are more of a annoyance than a real issue but,

1. Whenever I login as root, or any user account I'm met with:
"bash: /etc/bashrc.: No such file or directory"
The . after bashrc I'm sure is a typo I put in somewhere but I can't find where it calls for the wrong file?

2. Everything on the keyboard works great except a capital E. It just wont work I can't type it, lowercase works great though. I can't even copy and paste a capital E into the chroot, it doesn't think a capital E exists. Which is really inconvenient when I'm trying to type EOF

Check your bash initialization scripts to check for this error. Namely /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/*, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login.

Have you confirmed that it's not keyboard hardware problem. If it is a software problem then can you check if it functions in grub boot menu or another distro/OS.

veerain, thank you for your reply!

I found the /etc/bashrc references in those files you listed and fixed it, thank you!

I have been building the LFS under Linux Mint, and the capital E works great here, I am on that system now.

If I copy from Mint to the chroot "cCdDeEfF" it will literally strip out the capital E and become "cCdDefF" even in the chroot, as well as when I am actually booted into the LFS system.

How do you copy? Are using GUI to build LFS or using VT(console)?

RaynoVox · 03-14-2015, 12:08 PM

Yes I currently am on the Linux Mint GUI and it was built under the GUI and using LXterminal where you can paste directly.

veerain · 03-14-2015, 01:08 PM

Does otherwise it copies correctly from web browser to lxterminal?

Can you elaborate more.

RaynoVox · 03-14-2015, 03:13 PM

Yes, and I wanted to thank you for replying and working with me.

When I CHROOT into my new system from Linux mint with:

Code:

export LFS=/mnt/lfs

sudo mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda3 $LFS
sudo /sbin/swapon -v /dev/sda4

sudo mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
sudo mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys

sudo chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin /bin/bash --login

mount -nvt tmpfs none /dev
/sbin/udevstart
mkdir -v /dev/pts
mkdir -v /dev/shm
mount -vt devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 none /dev/pts
mount -vt tmpfs none /dev/shm

cd /sources

In the LXterminal window the new LFS system is logged in as root.
Using a middle mouse click I can paste anything Linux Mint has copied and paste it into the LFS CHROOT terminal.
If I copy and paste "eeEee" it will paste in the LFS window as "eeee" it will strip out the capital E. If I attempt to type a capital E in the terminal nothing will happen and nothing appears, same with caps lock. But every other character, lowercase and uppercase and symbols work wonderful.
As you can see in the screenshot of the LXterminal window no capital E appears. Typed nor pasted.

But it is not just Linux Mint and the LXterminal, completely shutting down and rebooting into the LFS with grub still no E is allowed to be typed. So CHROOTing nor booting into the LFS system allow E's.

Are you using UTF-8?

RaynoVox · 03-14-2015, 04:07 PM

Hey ReaperX7, thanks for your reply!

Yes, I have tried en_US.utf8 as well as en_us.iso188591 and nothing.

However I did find out that I can make a capital E inside Nano and Lynx just not the CLI.

veerain · 03-15-2015, 12:26 AM

If it's a keyboard hardware problem then copy in lxterminal should happen. If it's software problem then typing E should print.

Can you try chroot to LFS in Linux VT (console) and see what happens.

Find out what keyboard layout Mint uses looking at startup scripts.

RaynoVox · 03-15-2015, 03:38 PM

Ive checked the bashrc and inputrc scripts to see if there are any aliases and I can't find anything even remotely like alias for E.

Mint is set to en_US.UTF-8.
