I have upgraded one Linux computer to Wily Werewolf, so I took the opportunity of retesting this.
I can confirm that this now works. So this bug can be closed. As suggested above, it is unlikely that any system that expects to be talking to real terminals will use UTF-8. Hence it is most likely necessary to set the encoding in gnome-terminal to another one (e.g. ISO 8859-1). Strangely, that does not appear to be possible to do in a gnome-terminal profile via the GUI or via the gnome-terminal command line. However it does work if you edit it in to the profile using something external to gnome-terminal. So, in case it helps someone else, to set the encoding in a gnome-terminal profile, you will probably want to use gconf-editor or gconftool -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297051 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't recognise C1 controls To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte3/+bug/1297051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
