Can't figure out what's up with screen on one of my machines.<br>
<br>
jhawley@vulpix:~$ screen -S 1 ... and I get a blank screen
with "New screen ..." at bottom for a few seconds. Screen
appears to be running, but none of the Ctrl commands work.<br>
<br>
If I log in as root, it works fine. This is Ubuntu 10.4.<br>
<br>
What might be up? "screen" is such a generic name, its hard
to google for. :/<br>

I'm wondering if your tty/terminal settings are different
from root's. <br>
<br>
Are root and your non-root user running the same screen?
(Probably, but I'd check anyway.) <br>
<br>
Just brainstorming.<br>

Ok, it is something to do with settings in my ~/.bashrc. If I
temporarily remove that file and start a new terminal, everythings
fine with screen. I'll have to dissect it to see what is
conflicting.<br>
