If I log into a remote computer using SSH within xfce-terminal, and then halt the remote computer by issuing the command "halt", the remote computer turns off. However, the shell withing my xfce-terminal is then unusable. It is not possible to use CTRLD or CTRL-c to reactivate it, nor does anything happen if I use "Terminal -> Reset". The cursor is frozen, and my only option is to close the xfce-terminal tab. I think the expected behaviour should be to return to the shell that was used before using SSH to log into the remote computer. Best regards Torquil Sørensen
When using ssh, each keypress is silently sent to the remote server (without the content immediately changing locally), and the display only updated if the remote server instructs so. Your ssh is waiting for the data to be delivered and incoming data arriving from the remote host. There's no such data, so the terminal is apparently inactive, until ssh recognizes that the connection was lost. This is the expected behavior. You can press Enter ~ . (without the spaces), this is ssh's escape sequence that terminates it locally (without trying to communicate with the remote host).
