| Post subject: | very odd ls behavior |
so I cd'd to /etc/ trying to find the log folder, and when I did an ls, I saw something weird: Code: root@mythtv:/etc# ls

Even the formatting of the 2nd half is messed up (it looks fine in terminal, but this was a direct copy-paste, so the carraige returns obviously aren't present in the 2nd half) I've never seen something like that before in my 5 years of toying with OS X and other *nix's, and was wondering if anyone has an idea of what wouls cause something like that? and to make it weirder, I just cd'd to /dev, and did an ls.. everythign was the same up to the root@mythtv lines, and then it listed the contents of /dev... |

was this a one time thing, or does it reoccur withing new terminal windows? did you login as root then su to mythtv? was the root shell running any commands before the su? is root running any scripts in other shells? I assume you havent dont any weird redirection of shell output in other windows? Try creating a new xterm window and see if you see the same issues. what are the outputs of the following commands: Code: id
who alias |

I seem to be having a few weird quirks with my box.. but dont' really want to try another fresh install since I had to install some other updates afterwards |
