Hello,

Thanks for your feedback at the last MUUG meeting about the problem I had with Control+C droping someone to a shell prompt in the forst TTY.

I had a google group thread here if you want to read/respond there: http://groups.google.ca/group/ubuntu_lite/browse_thread/thread/11b044eeebe0a...

I changed the line in /etc/inittab from: 1:2345:respawn:/bin/bash -login > /dev/tty1 2>&1 < /dev/tty1 to: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

and that solves to problem of getting to a shell but now X Windows doesn't start.

I don't fully understand what the orig line is doing and I think that's my problem.

I tried to put a Control C trap in ~.bash_profile, ~.bashrc, /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc by putting this line it: trap "" 2 It works after the X server has been killed but doesn't seem to stop my from pressing Control C to kill it.

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. If I run /sbin/getty in the inittab how do I get it to start X?

Any help would be appreciated.
