I am new to debian and linux. I installed Debian last week. Now, I
have a problem. If I press Ctrl - s in a terminal or in Emacs, the s
key will not reponse anymore no matter how I press it. That's
annoying. I have to reboot the machine to get the s key to work again.
But, I do need Ctrl - s, especially when using Emacs to edit
something. Anyone know how to resolve this problem.
Welcome to the 1980's. You've sent an XOFF command to your terminal.
Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Q are interpreted as XON and XOFF -- serial line
software flow-control.
Normal behavior. Hit Ctrl-Q to continue. :-)
