Dear ALZ
your settings fro /etc/sysconfig/console
# Begin
/etc/sysconfig/console
KEYMAP="es"
KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2"
FONT="lat0-16 -m 8859-15"
# End
/etc/sysconfig/console
work for me either for ñ, ¿. ¡ and € in console but I cannot see accented
spanish character, á, é, í, ó, ú.
Are you using a PC/AT keyboard?
You said you were using a Lenovo Netbook. Can you provide the exact model?
Now, you can try this:
# dmesg | grep input
Look for something like: "input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard..."
Copy here any line related to keyboards...
adding the UNICODE=1. to my /etc/sysconfig/console does not allow me to see the
spanish character, á, é, í, ó, ú., I can see them as 'a, 'e, 'i, 'o, 'u.
Let's stick to no Unicode for a while.
Set /etc/sysconfig/console like this:
LOGLEVEL=8
KEYMAP="es"
KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2"
FONT="lat0-16 -m 8859-15"
Save and power off.
Start over again and enter after the first prompt:
#tail -15 /var/log/boot.log
Look for:
"Setting up Linux console... OK"
Copy here any error message if you see FAIL instead of OK
What I am trying to do is to se the encoding in console.
What it works for me is to use at the prompt the following;
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qerty/es.map.gz
Try this:
#cd /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty
#loadkeys es
Any errors? Can you type àèìòùáéíúó?
Now enter:
# dumpkeys | grep dead
Copy what you get here, like this:
keycode 26 = dead_grave dead_circumflex bracketleft
keycode 40 = dead_acute dead_diaeresis braceleft
Try for completeness:
#loadkeys es-cp850
#dumpkeys | grep dead
Copy what you get here.
Ensure you load es.map again with euro symbol.
#loadkeys es
#loadkeys euro2
but I would like it to have it loaded at boot time, if possible.
This /etc/sysconfig/console should work after boot.
Remove LOGLEVEL if preferred, but don't mix Unicode with ISO-8859.
From LFS 7.5 book:
7.10. Configuring the Linux Console
UNICODE
Set this variable to “1”, “yes” or “true” in order to put the console
into UTF-8 mode. This is useful in UTF-8 based locales and **harmful**
otherwise. (Asterisks are mine)
As Ken Moffat is pointing, you should use UNICODE=1 with es_ES.UTF-8
locales, but not ISO-8850-15 locales.
This is my LANG variable:
LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-15@euro
that is set in /etc/profile.
Check also any uncommented variable, at the end of
/etc/sysconfig/rc.site, related to console settings
Regards
ALZ.
