Enter key outputs ^M instead of executing command during apt upgrade prompt
h-b opened this issue · 1 comments
Description
In the kitty terminal (version 0.33.1), pressing the Enter key during a sudo apt upgrade prompt does not execute the command but instead outputs ^M. This issue specifically occurs when responding to interactive prompts in the terminal. Normal functionality of the Enter key is observed in other uses within the terminal as well as in other terminal emulators like XFCE's terminal.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open kitty terminal.
- ssh into Debian based server (either with
kitten sshor withssh) - run sudo apt upgrade.
- when prompted to continue with [Y/n], press the Enter key.

Additional context
I manage two headless Ubuntu servers. Interestingly, the issue of the Enter key outputting ^M during interactive prompts occurs only on one server. Both servers are configured with $SHELL set to /bin/bash and $TERM set to xterm-kitty, which suggests that the terminal settings are consistent across both. This leads me to believe that a specific configuration on the affected server might be responsible for this anomaly. I am ready to provide further details about this server's configuration to assist in diagnosing the issue.
Does not reproduce for me. You are likely missing the kitty terminfo in
your sudo environment, read the kitty FAQ on the subject, especially the
part about sudo.
