It has something to do with the script /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh and the latest sparemint versions of bash. Maybe you have set the environment variable SHELL=/bin/bash somewhere. Change this to /bin/sh. I think you should put export SHELL=/bin/sh somewhere in your /etc/rc.local file or in mint.cnf. I don't remember exactly where I fixed this and I can't check it right now: Last week my Falcon030/CT2b got overheated and the powersupply died :-( But it should do the trick. To just try it first simply type that "export" thing on your commandline, and test if less works properly after it. -- M.
