Starting with txindex option produces a bug continually printing "y".
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
bitcoind -daemon -txindex=1 -server=1 &
root@btc:~# Bitcoin server starting
: You need to rebuild the database using -reindex to change -txindex.
Do you want to rebuild the block database now?
yes
y
y
y
y
y
You need to start again with the -reindex option passed on the command land.
It should not ask "Do you want to reindex now?", as it quits immediately and runs in the background anyway.
Typing 'yes' in the shell runs the command yes, which has nothing to do with Bitcoin, and just produces an infinite sequence of 'y' lines.
thanks. bitcoind -daemon -server=1 -reindex & worked for me.

Hah, this is a very recognizable mistake. We should change the message in case of non-GUI somehow.
