No text output in login console and shell

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

I have a remote IBM x3550 M4 server that I try to remote control through IMM2. The problem: only the blinking cursor is visible in login console. It moves when I type. It moves to where "Login: _" should be if I press ctrl+c. I can login if I enter the correct login and password, but the shell that I get also shows only the blinking cursor and no text. I can issue commands.

The server is in production and works ok. SSH works ok. CentOS 6.

What I have tried:
- tty[1-7] with ctrl+alt+Fxxx
- 'reset' command after logging in
- initctl restart tty TTY=/dev/tty2
- killing ttyS

What I didn't try:
- reboot would mean downtime

Is there something that can be done about this?

More info:

# ps aux | grep tty

# mount | grep pts
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

Thank you
