Linux Kernel 6.2 issue

[dedguy21]

OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: 6.2
Shell: Bash, Zsh, & Nushell
Terminal: Kitty & Wezterm
Mcfly ver: 0.7.1

I was updated to kernel 6.2 the other day, I noticed when using mcfly, though I could ctrl-r and make a selection, that selection wasn't carried through back to the terminal, so it wouldn't execute. Also, selection would not be carried over to be modified either. I checked the issue across three shells, and two different terminal to be sure.

Rolling back to kernel 6.1 fixed the issue for me. This is more of an FYI in case more people update to kernel 6.2

I haven't traced root issues beyond rolling back.

Thanks @dedguy21. Maybe related to #212?

[dedguy21]

More than likely, I'll test and get back to you. Thanks.

I have the same behavior, where can I set this "CONFIG_LEGACY_TIOCSTI"?

In your kernel .config file. You need to compile from sources.

Yes. This bug can be marked as duplicate of #212

[dedguy21]

Should I close the issue since it is a repeat of #212?

I had hit the same issue, also on arch, with kernel 6.2.1-arch1-1. Is this something what should get fixed in mcfly then or in the kernel?

[somepaulo]

Just updated to 6.2.2-arch1-1, issue persists.

[dedguy21]

FYI:
An arch maintainer advised me that they are definitely not going to make CONFIG_LEGACY_TIOCSTI available going forward as it poses a potential security risk.

[kauruus]

There is a bug in the kernel that prevents me to set dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti, so I make a simple kernel module to re-enable TIOCSTI.

[dedguy21]

If this works on zsh as long as zsh is the login, then I'll make the switch.

Thanks. I'll close this dup issue.
