Bug#4756: screen doesn't work

[joost@rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl (joost witteveen)]

First of all, sorry for taking so long to answer your
bug report, but I was in Moskow when you send it (on holiday).

BTW, Where did you get this pidof command from? (It's not on my system).

> $ ps -jp 8804
>  PPID   PID  PGID   SID  TT TPGID   UID   TIME COMMAND               
>     1  8804  8804  8804  ?     -1     0  1.22s SCREEN dselect 
> $ screen -r 
> There is no screen to be resumed.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this. Does this happen to you
reproducably, or just once in a million times? Could you
tell me what triggers it?

On my system, the "TT" line always refers to a valid tty. Do you
happen to know why it doesn't in your case?


And, what are the other problems you see? In your subject line,
you say: "screen doesn't work". Does the rest of screen not work
for you too, or is it just the reconnecting that doesn't work?

Thanks for the bug report,
