ESC K in CDE

AIMC — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 07:25:14 GMT

Hi,

When i type esc k to access the history it works fine for standard console & telnet sessions but will not work within CDE it gives me this

# ^[k

if i remove the /etc/kbdlang file it works fine but prompts me to choose a keyboard type on reboot, has anybody seen this before? I am using a UK keyboard & the kbdlang file contains

USB_PS2_DIN_UK_English#

Regards,

Aidan

Aidan,

Could you check if below line is uncommented in the $HOME/.dtprofile

DTOURCEPROFILE=true

Hi,

As suggested above remove the comment from the last line in file $HOME/.dtprofile

After removing the comment the line should look like.

DTOURCEPROFILE=true

Also insure that you have these variables exported properly in .profile of that user or /etc/profile for all users.

export HISTFILE="/path_to_file/$LOGNAME"
export HISTSIZE=1000

HTH,
