I suppose you are talking about the following characters:
<U00E5> /xc3/xa5 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
<U00E6> /xc3/xa6 LATIN SMALL LETTER AE
<U00F8> /xc3/xb8 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE
Sounds right
I've just tested the danish keyboard with your configuration and it
seams can produce these symbols. For a-ring I used the key after "p",
for ae I used the key after "l" and for o-slash I used the key after
the key for ae.
Are you sure that the settings of console-setup are active? If not,
then use the command setupcon.
Are you sure you have correct locale? If you use ISO-8859-1, then the
LANG environment variable should have value "da_DK".
This was actually not the case, $LANG was empty... (where is this set
up, apart from just doing "export LANG=da_DK"?)
Are you sure also that your command interpreter accepts non-ASCII
symbols. Can you enter these characters in X in terminal emulator.
If not, then try to make a file ~/.inputrc with the following
contents:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
Anton Zinoviev
adding the .inputrc worked, thanks!
There seem to be a unicode bug in the shell where when I type one of
the chars, I can type 2 backspace and eventually delete the
"thuehome:~$" part of the shell, but that is probably not a
console-setup bug?
Making this work seems rather complicated to me, not being familiar
with the whole console architecture. Is there some package which I
have failed to install which would have set it all up automatically
for me?
Thanks for the help!
Regards, Thue
ps: feel free to close the bug if you feel it is appropriate.
