Alright, i don't really know what is wrong here, but im sure this never happened before ...
When on a terminal, the key combination [SHIFT] and [PGUP] or [PGDN] normally allows scrolling through previous output ...
Previously, i could switch to another terminal, come back to the first one and still be able to scroll back through the output on this first terminal.
But now i cant - its as if the text i see in front of me is all the has ever been printed on the screen, with nothing before it, which can be irritating, to say the least.
What ive done recently, which i figure has brought this on, was to do a
'strip --strip-debug' on:
/bin/*
/usr/bin/*
/lib/*
/usr/lib/*.
Perhaps this is completely unrelated to the (slightly annoying but bearable) behaviour described above, and if ur asking why i ran strip on all of the above, it was partly just coz i felt like it, and partly to free up some disk space...
So, does anyone know what the problem is and if so, how to fix it??
Cheers,
Stween
