After suspending with ctrl-S, which works, ctrl-Q does nothing and one cannot restore a working terminal.
Works here - what does the output of stty -a show for start and stop?
It shows correct ^S and ^Q. ^S works and gives the message to use ctrl-Q to go back but doing so has no effect. This is on a Lenovo laptop
Can you double-check in another terminal like xterm? Have you changed anything in profile->keyboard->keybindings?
No change in profile and ctrl-S/ctrl-Q works in xterm
Found a suggestion via google search: ctrl-alt-Q works! Not sure what is going on as ctrl-Q works on xterm.
Ctrl-Q works fine on my desktop machines too, so the only problem is with my laptop for some reason.
let us know if this is still an issue
No, it is resolved. Thanks!
