Bug#554196: [console-setup] Generic German keyboard cannot be setup to use AltGr key
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.45
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Whatever settings I try - I cannot enter important characters like
@ (AltGr + Q)
~ (AltGr + +)
| (AltGr + <)
or even: {[]}\
this is a problem within TTY or GTK applications. In KDE (4) apps the
AltGr key works as desired.
Maybe, these informations can help:
- when I type AltGr + Q twice, I get a list of known hosts (as if I type
@ and 2xTAB)
- same problem is there when I use the (clickable) virtual keyboard of
KDE.
- "less -" reports that instead of plain "@", an ESC is sent before.
This means the ESC is triggered additionally before the desired @
character is sent. Did I mention that I own a straight 105-keyboard,
just QWERTZ.
