[vizstack-users] Yet another odd problem . . .

[<Sim...@cs...>]

A very odd problem . . .

I've been running viz-desktop from an ssh session all the time, because when I run it from a console session, the first time I try to enter anything via the keyboard the display locks up - the mouse is still rendered normally, but nothing responds to it.

I just found, while doing a bit of testing, that when I'm logged in at the console and I run a viz-desktop session via ssh the things that were typed into the session show up on the console as if they were typed in. So, I fire up viz-desktop, bring up a terminal, start up a vnc session, type in my password, and so on, and all those lines show up on the console. I just did a test where the only thing I brought up was firefox - I typed in a URL, hit enter, and the URL was in the bash history of the console. Just for fun I brought up a terminal and changed the prompt - when I closed the session the prompt in the console was also changed.

Presumably this is some kind of issue with stdin/stdout not being redirected correctly . . .
