Summary | 0005740: Suspend/resume of "sudo vi" broken in sudo-1.7.4p5-9 | ||||
Description | After updating to sudo-1.7.4p5-9, suspend/resume doesn't work. Reverting to sudo-1.7.4p5-7 corrects the issue. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1) type sudo vi 2) type password (if required) 3) hit control-Z 4) type fg - note that screen fails to redraw) 5) hit Enter twice - note that vi is not responding properly 6) hit control-Z - terminal seems stuck; must disconnect from terminal session to recover (Steps 5 & 6 aren't critical - I've tried doing other things here but no success.) | ||||
Additional Information | This issue is seen with upstream OS as well -- sudo-1.7.4p5-7.el6.x86_64 is OK but sudo-1.7.4p5-9.el6_2.x86_64 is broken. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
sudo release notes suggest a fix went into 1.8.1. "The fix for resuming a suspended shell in 1.7.5 caused problems with resuming non-shells on Linux. Sudo will now save the process group ID of the program it is running on suspend and restore it when resuming, which fixes both problems." http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/stable.html#1.8.1 |
|
this is now filed as an upstream bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823993 |
|
Although I can't read the upstream bug report, it's possible to install the latest Sudo RPM from www.sudo.ws, e.g. sudo-1.7.10-8.el6.i386.rpm from http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/download.html#binary, and that fixed the problem for me. I'd like to give this a higher priority, as vim is a common and much-used config file editor, sudo is a common and much-used way to give it root access, and suspending vim is a common and much-used action. I usually get bitten by this about once a week, whenever I'm on a centos box instead of Debian/Ubuntu, which doesn't seem to have the problem. |

According to http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2012-1142.html , this bug was fixed in sudo-1.7.4p5-13.el6_3 . | |
I can confirm the upstream fix has propagated to CentOS (happened quite a while ago). This bug can be closed. | |
Thanks for the confirmation. Now closing as 'resolved'. | |
