I am using Fedora core 2 and , suddenly i could not type the character "d" in my terminal window. My keyboard is working fine because as you can see iam typing this post from a webbrowser in Fedora Core.

I could not figure out what settings could have changed since i started using it first. Iam using KDE, i tried restarting the pc , did not help. Also tried switching to other desktops like gnome and xwindows the same problem persists.

Has some one faced a similar problem. Please help. currently i have a work around if i needed only one "d" in command line then i go to my previous commands history and get it done.

It is very annoying coz i have to go back to the command history even to do "cd <dir>" , the real problem is when i have a "d" on the file name as well.


Could some one help me find what the issue is ?


Thanks

What actually happens when you press the "d" character in your terminal window ?

Nothing. I know where you are going with this, no shortcut key assigned. I will double check that any ways, another thing
i forgot to mention is , even if i cut and paste file names, if there is a "d" embedded in the string it is replaced. For example
if i copied "windows" it will appear in the command line as "winows" . strange is in't it.

I think iam going to reinstall terminal emulator , and see what happens after that. But iam yet to find out how to do that,
if anybody here knows , how to do it , i would appreciate if you could tell me the easiest way of how to go about it.


thanks

It might establish something if you went to an ordinary, non-graphical terminal, with ctrl-alt-F1 or F2 or F3, etc., and logged on and see if d's work there.
