[SOLVED] strange characters in vim
by derguteweka from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6EP9A)
Moin,
I'm currently building LFS-12. Hostsystem is BLFS-11.1.
Since having installed vim in chapter 8.71 i'm able to use it within the chroot, but i'm experiencing a new, unexpected "feature", i'm not having on my host system with my host vim:
e.g. i'm starting to edit /etc/fstab by typing:
Code:vi /etc/fstabThen the first line (or wherever vim places the "cursor" looks like this:
Code:[?4min /etc/fstabinstead of this:
Code:# Begin /etc/fstabThe contents of the file are not harmed by this, it just looks weired and if i want to see, what it was, i'll have to place the cursor somewhere else and leave vim, then start it new (then the strange chars are somewhere else).
Also after leaving vim, the bash prompt has also the unusual characters:
Code:[>4;m(lfs chroot) root:/etc#(next promts in the bash are not affected)
Anyone else who has observed this? What's going wrong here, and how can i get rid of it?
cheers,
WK
