[Bug 130444] Re: Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens
This is most disturbing. I already skipped upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 because I believed the problem would be fixed in 8.04 (see Colin Watson's notes above). Is there likely to be a patch or add-on fix soon so I can move on to Hardy Heron? -- Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i'm also having this problem. In gnome-terminal i can see the accented characters in filenames. but switching to console, the accented characters are all messed. I have no way to manage accented filenames from the virtual terminals. -- Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Forgot to say, i'm using a brand new Hardy Heron Desktop! and if i am not wrong, filenames used to be shown correctly on Gutsy Gibbon. -- Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(Actually, the 7.04 issue was mostly console-setup, while the current issue is somewhere between the kernel and X. But never mind; this is a reasonable holding area for it.) -- Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a known issue with console-setup (and definitely something that's come up before, although I'm not going to go looking for the reference right now ...). Ubuntu 7.10 should improve it substantially, but there are still issues depending on the video card. We discussed this at our last developer summit, and the fix is targeted for 8.04. ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = console-setup Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: New = Confirmed -- Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

UPDATE Another possible clue? -- Context is Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. This was discovered accidentally. When the grub boot starts, just after the Ubuntu logo appears on the screen but before the sign-in box comes up, I do ctrl-alt-F1 and switch to TTY display (with all the messages that are usually hidden at boot time). After a few seconds the normal character set changes to a slightly uglier one -- looking like something circa 1980 -- and a little while later the display returns by itself to gui mode and I can sign in as usual, as if I had never left the gui terminal. Now I return to a TTY virtual terminal with the slightly primitive character set, and lo! *all the accents appear in their proper places*. There are a few minor discrepancies, the only major one being that é appears as £, but believe me I am much, much happier with the new arrangement; and Midnight Commander now shows up with proper borders. If I write a file in TTY and then read it in gui, the £ will show as é. Three more points: (1) all virtual terminals are affected the same way; (2) the caps lock now works; (3) the output of stty -a is the same with this new arrangement as it was with the standard arrangement. I must add I am somewhat disconcerted that the importance of this bug has not yet been determined. Even if VTs are used only for writing code, there are some people who might occasionally write comments in languages other than English (a peculiar Indo-European dialect which tries to dispense with accents). Also any display that requires borders, such as Midnight Commander, looked terrible on the standard VT arrangement; with my accidentally found fix I can now enjoy it in its former beauty. -- Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 130444] Re: Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens
I have just noticed that the caps lock key does not work in the virtual terminals: characters continue to appear as lower-case even when the Caps pilot light is on. The caps lock works properly with the gui terminal. The ordinary shift key works properly in both environments. I don't know if this is relevant information but am offering it as a possible clue. -- Characters incorrectly echoed to virtual terminal screens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
