    <p>I've got a system that after a little use will result in Ruby being unable to run because of the following error</p> <pre><code>ruby: No such file or directory -- ¯ (LoadError) </code></pre> <p>The last few characters after the <code>--</code> and before the <code>(LoadError)</code> are a sequence of utf-8 characters. If I keep running ruby I'll get a different few characters each time. Eventually it will pollute my whole shell and I have prompts like the following</p> <pre><code>⎼┤b≤: N⎺ ⎽┤c▒ °☃┌e ⎺⎼ d☃⎼ec├⎺⎼≤ ↑↑ (L⎺▒dE⎼⎼⎺⎼) [┘┘▒⎽⎺┼c┌▒⎼┐@┌⎺≤▒┌├≤↑de┴↑┘┘▒⎽⎺┼c┌▒⎼┐ c┤⎼⎼e┼├]$ </code></pre> <p>How do I solve this? How does it get this way in the first place?</p> <h2>Notes</h2> <ul> <li>When the text is messed up I can highlight it in Tmux and see what should really be there.</li> <li>Pressing ctrl+v ctrl+o causes the error at the prompt to go away until I run <code>ruby</code> again.</li> <li>Condition persist through reboots</li> <li>System is provisioned with chef. That stops once this condition happens because chef uses ruby</li> <li>The prompt only goes nuts inside of Tmux. If I use a new terminal without Tmux then the utf-8 error only happens on the error line. The prompt line always stays correct.</li> <li>LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8</li> <li><p>Sometimes the extra characters look like part of a configuration file.</p> <pre><code>/usr/bin/ruby: No such file or directory -- cxxflags (LoadError) </code></pre> <p>This shows <code>cxxflag</code>. I have also seen <code>CC</code> before too.</p></li> <li>The machine is a VM. Rebooting it or the host didn't fix the issue</li> <li>Ruby version 1.9.3-p429</li> <li>Using CentOs 5.9</li> <li>/etc/sysctrl/i18n is setting the LANG to en_US.UTF-8</li> </ul>

    3. COYou may want to try Ruby 2.0, its unicode support is much better (and it’s the default).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
