Description auxsvr 2008-07-07 22:05:52 UTC

Version:           2.1 KDE 4.0.85 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080703 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] 
OS:                Linux

Less is watching the opened file with Shift-down arrow. Another problem that might be relevant is that attempting to close a root session makes konsole freeze for about a minute and the session remains.

SVN commit 832426 by knight:

If a terminal process does not respond to SIGHUP (because it is running as root
for example), close the pty instead and wait for the process to exit.

The "less" problem is fixed here, the problem with closing a root session remains. Should I file a new bug report for this?

Comment 3 Robert Knight 2008-09-22 04:40:57 UTC

The more general problem with root sessions has been reported here http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143880 .  I'll close this one as fixed for now.
