Bug#570789: [squeeze alpha1] installationsreport: problem configuring console keymap
Package: installation-reports
configuring console keymap issue:
installing in expert mode:
when I select German as language, Germany as location and
Germany - de_DE@utf-8 as value for locale, and switch to virtual console,
it seems the console is configured to german keymap, correct so far,
syslog tells the same.
In german we have umlauts (öäüß), which are correctly displayed on
the console, when I type them, but it seems they are not completely
deleted, when I delete them.
When I have typed them in error in an console-command (let's say I typed
"cat /var/log/syslogä"), and delete the umlaut (which leads to
"cat /var/log/syslog", which should be correct), the command does not work
(no result or error message "file or directory not found").
Reason is: the command which is executed, has an additional character at the
position, where the umlaut has been typed and deleted, but this additional
character cannot be seen on the console at that time.
You can see, that such character exists, when after executing the command
you type "Arrow up" to show the last executed command. There you see an
additional character at that position, where the umlaut has been typed and
deleted (here it is displayed as an square).
